No matter how frantic I get close to a closing, the team answers my requests politely and in a timely manner with good information. If I have the need again for a mortgage service, I would not hesitate to call Max and his team. The Leaman Team delivers what it promises and more.

Moving to Austin and its face paced realty market was challenging from the beginning.

Houses were moving faster than our realtor s car down Mopac. We did find a nice house in central Austin and got our offer in its first day on the market. Max one of the reasons they accepted our offer over several others was the reputation of Prime Lending in Max s office. Ultimately, everything went great from escrow to close.

Mortgage help from Max

Max stepped in when my other broker failed to respond to our unusual needs. We had a time commitment on our offer and we needed to know whether we could get things done quickly. With no notice, Max answered the call and got things done. He answered all of my calls personally and got me answers when I needed it. I would use Max again without looking elsewhere.

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.

The Right Man for The Job

About five years ago, I made the biggest purchase of my life…A house! However, this was no small feat. It all started with a close, personal friend and my realtor suggesting I meet with this loan officer named Max. I set up an appointment to meet with Max to discuss my financial capabilities. Max told me some things, which at the time, sort of discouraged me.

You have to remember these were the good old days of mortgage lending when every tom, dick, and harry got a fly-by-night adjustable rate loan. Not that I was looking for that, but I did want instant gratification. What I got, instead, was actually, in hindsight, really good advice from Max. He suggested that I not go for the “anyone-can-qualify” loan and instead save up some more money and obtain a more secure loan. So, a monetary goal was agreed upon by Max and I, and the hardest part of the process began….Saving!

Needless to say, I reached my goal. In roughly 10 months I had saved the money and was back to knocking on Max’s door. With my end of the bargain being met, it was time for Max to work his magic. Max did his best to educate me and hold my hand through every step of the loan process. I must say it was a little intimidating at first. Its a lot of numbers to compute and papers to sign. Never once did I feel like I was being taken for a ride or rushed on through so he could get to the next guy. I felt very trusting of Max the whole time. And in the wake of the financial crisis and the housing bubbles I felt vindicated in my choice of loan officers. The sound advice and the great service I received from Max left such an impression on me that I now recommend him to ALL of my family and friends.

In fact, I just re-financed my house to take advantage of the shockingly low interest rates, and the second time around was even easier then the first! I can’t say enough good things about this guy, so you’ll just have to see for yourselves . . .

Max provided us mortgage brokerage/financial services, from the start of our home buying process until closing.

We found Max to provide mortgage services for our parents. He did such a great job that we decided to use him as well. Max was prompt at returning calls, and was very efficient in his handling of the transaction from start to finish. We actually had to do very little work – just gathering typical documentation, and filling out an application. We did not have to submit paperwork or provide documentation multiple times, as with some brokers. He was always straight forward, and reassuring in our conversations – we never felt uneasy. Overall, it was an excellent experience and we highly recommend him.

Outstanding service!!!

My husband and I used Max for our original mortgage loan and then, a year later, to refinance. Both experiences could not have gone better. Max’s customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail are second to none. (Not to mention his uncanny ability to know when to lock and when to float!) We are very satisfied customers, and if the need ever arises, will use him again. In my opinion, Max is undoubtedly the best in the Austin area.

We refinanced with Max Leaman and dealt primarily with Jori Stern. The experience could not have been smoother.

Jori was fantastic about communicating promptly and answering our questions completely. Jori gave us a closing date early in the process and we actually closed on that date with no problems. I highly recommend Jori and Max Leaman’s team.

We rented a house with a fenced in yard, sight unseen, on the east side of 15th and Airport when we moved to Austin from Atlanta.

It served it’s purpose, but 3 months after our wedding we decided to buy a house. My mom wanted us to use a Jewish real estate agent, and so began our house hunting with Josh Bushner, who was recommended to us by Rabbi Freedman.

Josh said we needed to talk to a mortgage lender also. He recommended a guy that sounded trust worthy, but I couldn’t believe who he was. Mr. Max Leaman.

Max and I went to college together and lost touch after graduation. He house sat for me once and I figured if I could trust him with basically everything I owned, I could certainly trust him to be fair and accurate. He was and still is. He even set an alarm to go off when the rates get low enough so we can refinance to have a lower mortgage. He’s a hell of a guy, and you can bet the ONLY one I’ll ever use in Austin.
