Leaman Team  |  LoanPeople

As first-time homebuyers, my partner and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Max and his team.

From start to finish, Max was incredibly thorough, patient, and knowledgeable, guiding us through every aspect of the mortgage process and beyond.
What stood out the most was how much time Max took to explain not only the details of our loan but also the broader financial dynamics of owning a home. He broke down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand terms, ensuring we felt confident in every decision we made. Max went above and beyond by discussing general financial planning, helping us think long-term about how homeownership fits into our larger financial goals.
Max and his team were always available to answer questions, no matter how big or small, and their communication was seamless. They were proactive in addressing potential challenges and worked diligently to secure the best loan terms for us.
Thanks to their expertise and support, we were able to navigate what could have been an overwhelming process with ease and clarity. We’re so grateful to Max and his team for making our first home-buying experience such a positive one, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of a mortgage brokerage.

Max made this the easiest loan I ever got.

We bought our home in Austin 4 years ago, and refinanced it 2 years ago with Max. Max finds great rates, and best of all, he handles all aspects of the loan himself. We just refinanced again, through our large international bank, and it made us appreciate Max even more. Max told us up front all the documents he would need to process the loan, and it took less than two weeks to get it done. The bank had 4 different departments involved and it took 6 weeks because they kept adding documents to the list. It was extremely annoying and frustrating. We don’t anticipate refinancing again, but if we do we’ll stick with Max!

Wonderful Experience

Max really came through for us on this mortgage. This was a special property and we were in a special situation and he found a way to make the seemingly impossible possible. He was extremely polite, confident and went above and beyond on more than one occasion. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We used the Leaman Team to re-finance our home mortgage.

I started looking for a company to refinance my mortgage by doing a Google search. I sent an e-mail inquiry to the first listing on Google. Only a moment later, my telephone rings and I start a conversation with a fast-talking BS artist who quickly reminded me of the Used Car Dealer that I once worked for.

I did a quick Google search on that company. Nothing but complaints came up. I searched for comments on my current mortgage company, not one that I chose, but one that bought my loan from my previous lender. Again, nothing but complaints and problems came up.

So, I decided to search for the company that was rated the best A+. The Max Leaman Team came up.

I went to the Leaman Team web site and filled out their preliminary inquiry form. The next morning, I was contacted by Ms Jori Stearn. Jori worked with my wife and me all the way through the refinance process. She was very prompt, professional and kept in close contact with us all the way. They set a close date that was only about four weeks away from the date of my original contact with them. I had my doubts that we could really make that date, but it did happen just as Jori promised that it would!

Later on, after we had submitted the required financial information, we were contacted by Jori’s associate, Ms Janey Alcorn. Both Jori and Janey worked with us closely to acquire all the information that they needed. They gave us a very competitive rate and were very professional throughout the entire process.

A Notary Public service sent an agent to our home on the close date that was initially promised. All of the papers were signed and our loan was funded within the tight schedule that was originally promised.

The Leaman Team works like a well-oiled machine. They delivered what they promised. They were very prompt, professional and downright NICE throughout the process!

We could not have been happier and we would definitely use them again.

Two refinances for my fourplex investment property and my primary residence.

I worked with Jori Stern on refinancing both properties. I have five properties, which makes underwriting difficult to impossible, and she and her group were able to accommodate my needs on time with no catches. They were responsive in answering any questions and providing status updates on the loan. Jori also helped me determine the optimal origination points to pay when closing, and offer suggestions on the principal balance of my new loans.

Excellent, professional service throughout the transaction.

I highly recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to do business with Leaman again in the future

Just days before I was to close, my lender (In Dallas–big mistake!) shared that I was cleared to close!

Three hours later, my final approval was rescinded. They were quite apologetic. Turns out an underwriter on their team had lived in Austin years before and was positive that nothing in east Austin was worth what I was paying (despite the fact that the seller, a friend, was cutting me a huge break!). Pay no mind to the fact that they had already gotten me to cash out my retirement account with the city, sell my car and call in every favor owed. I was out of luck and out of time–the contract was expiring. I frantically searched around and found the Leaman Team. After talking to Max for an hour he called the seller and explained that he needs an extra few weeks and that he could make the transaction happen. He did it. I’m in the home I’ve adored since it was built in 2008 and I’m sending everyone who needs lending power his way. If you don’t like risk–go with Max.

Amazing! I can’t imagine how life would have been going somewhere else.
