LeaderOne Financial
About us
As Vice President of Leader One Financial I'm passionate about making the home buying experience as smooth as possible for my clients. In the 20 plus years I’ve been working in the mortgage industry I’ve developed a very mindful approach to helping people. I’ve found that what is truly most fulfilling about what I do is being able help people get comfortable with the homebuying process by explaining the sometimes complex mortgage experience in easy to understand language. I have an amazing team and we really enjoy wowing clients with an amazing mortgage experience and continuing to provide advice and valuable financial information as they enjoy their home for years after closing. My technical expertise includes working with Fannie Mae, FHA, Freddie Mac, VA and Jumbo loan programs. I have helped Individual Borrowers, First Time Buyers, Move Up Buyers and Real Estate Investors in the acquisition and financing of Primary Residences, Second Homes and Multi-Unit Investment Property portfolios all while providing exceptional and transparent service. My team and I have won the Angie's List Super Service Award for the last 5 years and we're a 5 Star Rated Lender on Zillow, Yelp and Facebook. We've also been recognized by LeaderOne Financial, a top 10 mortgage company to work for, as the recipients of the Top Producer Award 4 of the last 5 years. I’ve also been a featured Blogger on Angie’s List and other industry online publications. While we make the homebuying experience as easy and seamless as possible there are at time very complicated situations that arise that the team and I excel at handling. We were featured in the Chicago Tribune https://www.chicagotribune.com/real-estate/ct-xpm-2013-10-18-ct-mre-1020-jumbo-loans-20131018-story.html specifically for our expertise in solving unusual or challenging mortgage situations such as complex income and tax return issues for the self-employed and high-net worth borrowers, large cash out transactions and 10% down pay

I am very pleased to share my experience with David and his team. First, I was originally with another lender who told me that my FHA loan would require 45 days to close. As a result, I needed to offer the home seller an additional $2200 to cover the cost of his mortgage going past 30 days to close. Well, not only did David’s team close in a little less than 3 weeks, saving me the extra $2200, the fees were almost $4000 less than the lender I originally went with. Amazing! As for their process and execution, it is tight and secure. I’m in cybersecurity and I was impressed that ALL of their document management is done through a secure encrypted web portal. Many other companies out there still use the old paper and manual handling of your personal financial information, making it far more vulnerable to identity theft with paper copies floating around or insecure(unencrypted) emails with your personal financial information being shared. Further, David’s team was professional and on point with quick turnarounds and timely communication. They even have a mobile app and website that show you the steps of where you are in the process, very nice! I never had to wonder what was going on because if I didn’t read my emails, I would be notified on my phone of status changes or information needed by them. I highly recommend David and his team to anyone looking for a professional, secure mortgage process that will likely exceed your expectations as it did mine.

As a first time buyer I was not sure what to expect, and had heard from friends and family that the experience in general was incredibly stressful and unpredictable. From the moment we started working with David, he provided clear direction of what we could do to to offset the stress. He was systematic in providing the steps we needed to follow, and he was very pleasant and professional with following up with us if we were not on track. I highly recommend working with him as we will continue to with all of our home buying and refinancing needs!

Working with David and his team was awesome! I'm a Realtor so I've worked with quite a few different lenders over the years but I was blown away by the level of service that David and his team provided. They're very attentive to your needs, quick in responding/following up with you, and go the extra mile to take of you all the way through closing. I highly recommend him!

David and his team were outstanding to work with! We were referred to David from our realtor Susan Nice with Dream Town Realty. From the beginning of our search to find a lender, David was always available to make time to speak with us. We had a lot of questions as this was our first home purchase, and David was more than patient with us and took the time to really make sure all of our questions were answered. Not only was the process seamless, but David was always very friendly and truly a pleasure to work with. We received email updates with videos as to where we were in the loan process which we found very helpful. Dana and Lisa were very nice to work with as well. We cannot thank you enough for everything. Highly recommend this team!

David and his staff made my home buying process as easy as possible, and helped eliminate a lot of the stress that comes along with it. They're all super quick and responsive and helped me feel like there was no such thing as a dumb question to ask. I'd definitely work with David again in the future.

We obtained our mortgage on our home, a refinance, and now our son's first home through David Goldhirsh and his team. David and his team are fabulous. They answer questions immediately and basically hold your hand through the entire process. I previously used other lenders until I met David, and now will ALWAYS contact David for our lending needs. I highly recommend David and his team and guarantee that you will be thrilled with the experience.

David Goldhirsh came highly recommended by a friend who has very high standards and expectations, and after reading through his reviews on Angie's List, it was confirmed that LeaderOne Financial Corporation was the company to hire for the job we needed done. As everyone knows, the home-buying process is a long, tiring, and expensive one. However, it makes a big difference when dealing with a true professional who goes above and beyond to assist and be there for you every step of the way. David Goldhirsh is one-of-a-kind, and nowadays, it's rare to encounter people like him who take pride in their work, are knowledgeable, and who respond to your e-mails and phone calls right away. David is very accessible and encourages you to be in contact with him as questions or concerns arise. He kept us informed and guided us throughout the process, and he sent us updates as to what was happening. He was receptive to our attorney's requests, and he was responsive to our questions. We can say with absolute certainty that David exceeded our expectations! He is, without a doubt, a true professional who truly cares about his customers and their needs. We would highly recommend David Goldhirsh and his team to all our family, friends, or anyone who wants to deal with someone who will get the job done right and in a timely manner. Thank you, David and Team LeaderOne, for a positive experience. The way in which you conduct business is outstanding, and it's obvious that your goal is ultimate satisfaction for your customer.

I'm a first-time home buyer and I shopped around for different mortgage brokers online through lending tree and through personal recommendations. After speaking to many different people I was starting to feel frustrated and considered settling for a less than ideal broker. That's when I found David Goldhirsh. From the moment I started working with him he put me at ease and made the whole experience tolerable. He was very patient and explained everything I didn't understand (sometimes 2 or 3 times). He is very professional and was always quick to respond, often providing updated pre-approval letters within the hour. Also, our rate and the terms of our mortgage are fantastic. If you're reading this, just give him a call. I guarantee you'll be glad you did.

David helped us close on a very difficult refinance. He was quick to respond and accessible. He also spent as much time as we needed walking us through any issues or questions we had. I would definitely use him again.

We are very happy with our experience with LeaderOne. They were in constant communication through the process, and adapted well to my family's busy schedule. The customer service was head and shoulders above previous company's we had used. I also loved the technology used like the scanning function on their app to send documents, and using an electronic signature. It made things easy and efficient.

David was a great resource for me as a first time homebuyer. I went to a seminar David organized to educate potential buyers on what happens from the initial consideration of whether to rent or buy to working with realtors, inspectors, and insurance agents to financing and closing on a property. It definitely helped demystify the process and get me over some of my concerns about buying a house. Once I was ready for pre-approval and mortgage application, he took the time to explain all the ins and outs of the mortgage process so I felt educated and prepared at every stage. Even when some unforseen complications surfaced with the purchase and we were rushing to make the closing date, David was able to work through every hurdle so we could close on time.
I'd recommend David and LeaderOne without hesitation.
