Leaman Team at LoanPeople

.

Home Mortgage Refinance.||Everyone at Prime Lending was great!  Jory was very patient with my many many questions! The refi went through without a hitch!

Jori was my loan officer.  She did an excellent job keeping me up to date on the process and pushing things forward.  PrimeLending is the best lender I've done business with to date.  I've got multiple investment properties and have used 4 different lenders in the past year.  PrimeLending was, by far, the easiest to work with.  While underwriting was thorough they didn't ask for as many extraneous documents as other lenders.  Moreover, they understood how to deal with special circumstances typical of investors.  Other lenders I've dealt were really only proficient with cookie-cutter owner occupant loans and not investment properties.  It's been a relief to have found PrimeLending.  I will definitely be sending them repeat business and I highly recommend them.

I had suggested my tenant use Sherri at Max Leaman. I've used her multiple times to buy properties. He decided to use a no-reputation lender first and as expected it fell through. He sent me his information which I forwarded to Sherri. He had asked if I would carry a short term mortgage for a couple years and I wanted to see what that would do to my ability to buy more rental properties. Sherri looked over his information and told me she thought she could qualify him for a mortgage so I wouldn't need to take it on which was greatly appreciated. Sherri worked with my tenant who travels four days a week. She was able to get this closed in just over 30 days. The one day slip was a result of the buyer having trouble submitting documents on a timely basis while he was in China the week before closing. As usual, Sherri was very responsive and maintained her professionalism. One of the great things about Sherri is she answers her phone almost every time I call and she's also very responsive to e-mails. I'll continue to use Sherri & Max Leaman for my investment mortgages and would encourage everyone to do the same. Getting a mortgage can be a real hassle. While there won't be times you won't ask why do they really need that, they will do it cheerfully and will get you closed within 30 days when you are supposed to close. They know how to make challenges that other mortgage companies bail on into successful and timely mortgages. Thanks!

Transaction process went very smooth even though we live in a different state. Would do business with Prime Lending again.

The Leaman team did an excellent job of guiding us through the mortgage application process.  They answer all our questions, took care of all our needs, and got us the best possible rates.

The Max Leaman team is always helpful and great at returning phone calls/emails.  They work hard to meet deadlines and make the loan process as simple as possible.  They offer competitive rates and want to earn the chance to work with you again.  I will be using PrimeLending again.

Max and his team were fantastic to work with.  Competitive rate and lowest fees by more than $400 right out of the gate.  (Used the $100 Angie's List coupon too!)  Closed on-time in 25 days even with delays on the seller's side and the Christmas holidays.  Easy application, great communication on the process with regular updates, always available for questions, no last-minute changes or charges.  
I'm in the Dallas area and there were no issues at all with The Leaman team being located in Austin.
Highly recommend!

My husband and I are extremely pleased with the service, professionalism and friendliness of the Prime Lending Team with Max Leaman.
We initially started with a different mortgage company and after a excuse after excuse of why the refinance of our mortagage contined to be postponed we finally told the company to close our file. That company took up an entire year of our lives...very aggravating.
Finally, after reading reviews on Angie's List about Max Leaman at Prime Lending and his team we decided to contact them after canceling our loan with the other company. I was first caught off guard with how nice, friendly and understanding they were of our situation and they were really surprised and couldn't understand why the other company could not close the loan.
Even before seeing our actual numbers and credit reports they told us that we would be closing on Nov 1 (30 days after initial contact). I was impressed but skeptical due to our most recent experience. During the process they were very easy to get ahold of, answered all of our questions promptly and did everything they said they would do on time.
To our pleasant surprise, we closed on Nov 1, the day that they quoted us during our first conversation. We were so excited we couldn't believe it!!
I highly recommend without reservation Max Leaman and his team from Prime Lending for any mortgage/refinance services that you may need now or in the future.

Max and his team did an awesome job refinancing my house this past month. I'm not sure why I waited so long to refi, I guess it was because I thought the process would be a pain in the butt. After going through the refi with Max, I wish I would have done it a lot sooner. It was extremely smooth. He provided me a great rate, very low closing costs, and we closed on time. You can't really ask for more than that. Besides that, everyone was very nice, easy to work with, and I felt extremely confident that I was in good hands the whole time. When/if I buy in the future, it's a no brainer that I'll use Max.

I found Max Leaman on Angie's List and am glad I did.  The entire process, from application to closing, was efficient and accurate - no issues whatsoever.  I closed in about three weeks on a home purchase with a conventional loan.
I compared fees among many brokers and Max Leaman's were the most competitive.  Many other reputable and/or recommended mortgage brokerage services have a long list of junk fees with twenty different names and "costs" for the same junk (processing fee, application fee (the most offensive), settlement fee, document prep fee, administrative fee, underwriting fee....).  Max Leaman's fees are minimal and reasonable.
I'm in Houston, along with the house, the sellers, and the title company.  Max Leaman is in Austin, which did not present a challenge:.  all interaction with Max and team was done over the phone, email, and/or secured/encrypted Cisco mail. 

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 on Angie's List and Yelp.  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+ on both Angie's List and Yelp.  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.

These guys are nuts!! They closed my refi in less than 3 weeks!
I came to Max with a huge dilemma.  I needed to do a cash-out refi on my
investment property in Houston and I only had 3 weeks to do it.  Apparently, there was a Fannie Mae guideline that permitted the
?cash-out?, using the delayed financing exemption, but you had to close the refi within 6 months of the purchase.  Of
course, I was at 5 months and 1 week when I realized this.
From the beginning, Max assured me that it wasn?t a matter of if we can close, but when we can close.  Sure enough, he was a man of his words?
I evaluate lenders on 4 criteria: service, ability to close, communication/promptness, and price (in that exact order).  The Leaman Team, which includes Max, Jori, and Billie Ann scores a 10 in all these areas?I can?t wait to do business with them again!

Max and his team were great!  I have never had such good and prompt service in all my years of getting a mortgage. I had been dealing with another mortgage company and I was getting tired of waiting it had already been 3 weeks. So, I looked in Angies list and saw all the good reviews. So I called,  and Max answered. I told him my situation and filled out the application on line. He called the next day and said that we were approved. 3 weeks later we closed on our house. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are prompt and efficient and you can always reach them with any questions .

I was in the market to refinance two properties in Corpus Christi, Texas in hopes that I could pull enough equity out to purchase a third. I live in CA and made the MISTAKE of first trying to get my bank (one of the three largest banks in the US) to assist. They were awful! I chekced Angie's List and found Max Leaman PrimeLending and decided to give them a try. What a difference. Sherri Eckert worked diligently with us and put together a great package that allowed us to purchase our third property. She was even able to drop the interest rate during escrow. You can bet that I appreciated that. Thanks, Sherri.

I chose Prime Lending/Max Leaman's office after reading all the positive reviews on Angie's List and was not disappointed. I filled out the intake information on their website and someone contacted me within a day. That person (Jori Stern) was my contact through the entire process. Every time I considered a house or made an offer, Jori would provide me with a new estimate of the monthly payment, closing costs, etc. Every time I had a question, she answered promptly. Jori and her team made sure I was ready to close on time, and sent the funds the day before closing so the loan funded very quickly after I signed. I could not have been happier and I would definitely use them again.

Sherri is a pleasure to work with and is very responsive.  She frequently answers her phone and if she misses a call will quickly call you back in an hour or two.  She is also very responsive to e-mails.
This was my fifth rental loan and my second with Sherri.  Sherri provides wise counsel and keeps you from getting in trouble as long as you keep her informed along the way.  It is always good to run anything you are thinking of doing with your loan officer before you do it vs. after.  I'm not the easiest customer as I ask a lot of questions.  Sherri never lost patience with me.
I asked for an early closing date.  Sherri set realistic expectations and told me how to best go about getting it done.  We moved the contract closing date up ten days as a result.  We closed 28 days from signing the contract and could have done it in 25 days.
This time rates fell after I locked in.  I was able to take advantage of their free float down agreement and lower my mortgage rate by 1/4 point.  This lowered my mortgage payment $17/mo. That comes to $200 a year or $6,000 over a 30 year mortgage if I keep it that long.  That is a substantial savings.  I did ask for Max's help with the float down agreement and he was very responsive.
I've compared other lenders.  You get top notch service from Sherri & Max Leaman and you still get a low price on their origination fees.

From the beginning, prior to pre-approval Jori was over the top helpful. Jori and her staff helped with the purchase of our home in Texas while we were still living in Oregon. As you would expect, this could be a challenge at times. Not for Prime Lending. Communication was promptly answered. We knew we could contact Jori via e-mail or phone. Closed without any issues and when we requested to suddenly try to get our paperwork in order to close early, they said no problem we will do what we can. We closed a week early. My husband and I cannot express how painless buying our house in Texas became after deciding to use Prime Lending. Forever grateful.

Sherri Eckert and her team made what is useful a difficult and painful process easy, pleasant, and helped to take away many of the typical fears and anxiety you go through in making a new home purchase. The home we were purchasing was a signficant investment for us (over $600K) and their team treated us incredibly well through the entire process. They provided multiple good faith estimates at the front of the process to meet several scenario's we were working through for financing, and were very honest with us about what we could expect in regards to closing costs, fee's, and other potential costs. They called everytime they identified something that might change and never made a change to our loan or costs without talking with us first. They were a great intermediary between us and the under writters and talked us through a couple of tricky situations such as when the name on my tax return had been incorrectly documented by our CPA several years ago. I felt like I really had choices in how to find financing that best fit our needs and the team was in constant communication with me the entire time. Even during closing I was telling the title company that if they ever wanted a recommendation for a good mortgage company PrimeLending was the way to go.
I would recommend this team to anyone and will never work with anyone else ever again should I have mortgage needs. Who else can say they had a 100% pleasureable experience working with their lender? I have ZERO complaints!

We looked at several lending firms to include those who advertise on TV that they are the best and have the lowest rates. But then we saw the Leaman team on Angie's List and could not believe the reviews. In fact, when my husband called them he asked if all those great reviews were written by their friends and family members. But we found out quickly that they were all true. The process was 30 days total of time, their closing costs were less than anyone else, professionalism unmatched, and they came to our home for closing--we did not have to go anywhere. We would definitely do business with them again. Jori Stern was our loan officer and sshe made the process simple, easy and less stressful--she was awesome!

We ultimately chose to hold off on buying to improve our loan amount and pay down a credit card we have first, even though we got the interest rates we wanted we decided a custom built home was best path for us. And didnt get the loan amount we were hoping for. With some tips Jori provided I think we will be ready by next year to move forward.

It was a very easy process to apply and work with Max Leaman. They were very good with communicating with us about entire process. We received a very good deal and would definitely use them again if we need a mortgage.

They were really helpful and made the process as easy as possible. Great communication through email, phone and fax. Jori and Billie were great. This just shows that you don't have to be local with a loan company to have a great experience. They explained everything to me and answered all of my questions. They were able to lock in a pretty low rate right before they went up some again. I am glad that I used the Lehman Team and I would recommend them to anyone.

This took a few days to address as I'm busy moving into my new home in Del Webb Sweetgrass thanks to the Leaman Team!!!  Believe all the 5 star reviews, they are here for a reason - they really are THAT GOOD!  After having been put through mortgage approval H*ll by Pulte Mortgage (because we are self employed) and coming within 3 days of losing $10,000 in earnest money, I found Max and his team on Yelp.  I contacted him, he responded immediately and with just a few days to assess our situation he was able to get us the pre-approval we needed for construction to begin, something Pulte could not do in 45 days.  He and Billie Ann Alfarez made it such a pleasant experience - just how it should be when you're so excited over purchasing your home! They absolutely have to be the best in Texas and most likely, the entire USA!  You don't have to live in Austin or even Texas to use them! I could go on and on but you get the idea.  Don't waste your time with any other mortgage lender, just go right to the top! I cannot thank them enough for their prompt, caring and professional attitudes!!!

We closed on time. The meeting at the title company was prompt and brief. A week later I checked to be sure my original mortgage had been paid off and it had. This was a great experience and it will save me lots and lots of money. Thanks.
