We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Kristin Bailey and her team at LoanPeople…read more From start to finish, they were professional, transparent, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Buying a home can be stressful, but Kristin and her team made the entire loan process feel smooth and manageable. They worked extremely hard on our loan, followed through on everything they said they would do, and kept us informed every step of the way. What stood out most was their honesty and integrity-qualities that can be hard to find these days. Kristin truly went above and beyond to maximize our seller credits and delivered exactly what they promised. We always felt like we were in good hands and that they genuinely cared about helping us get the best outcome possible. We are so thankful for all of their hard work and dedication. I would 100% work with Kristin and her team again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lender they can truly trust.

I reached out to a couple of lenders to explore my options and ultimately chose to work with Max…read moreLeaman/The Loan People. I was assigned to Amanda, who was absolutely fantastic. She quickly reached out, got me preapproved right away and was incredibly responsive to all my questions throughout the process. We placed our offer on November 22 and closed on December 19. The team was able to get my loan approved and closed in under 27 calendar days, which included weekends and the Thanksgiving holiday so really around 17 business days when you think about it! These guys definitely have their process down. That said, the origination charges (processing/underwriting) were higher than some of the other lenders and when I requested a reduction in these charges, they didn't budge and instead referenced the points buy down, which, while in the origination category, is a seperate line item than the processing/underwriting line items. A younger version of me would have pushed harder on this to save a few hundred bucks, but I chose not to but definitely getting a mention in the review though so... *shrugs* Overall though, I would definitely recommend them, and especially Amanda, due to her expertise, communication, and efficiency.

We have used Suzanne and Barton Hills Mortgage 4 times. I think the best part of our experience was…read moreSuzanne treating us like family. My wife and I were home buying novices (and eventual refinance rookies as well). Each time, she was such an incredible resource to us. Each time Suzanne has been fast, thorough, and thoughtful. There may be a lot of options for possible mortgage brokers, but if you want to really be taken care of - go with Suzanne and her team at Barton Hills Mortgage.

New to Austin and did not know where to start with looking for a good mortgage broker. My wife and…read moreI met her husband Scott who we used as our Realtor. Scott's recommendation for Suzanne was 'she's the hardest working broker out there', and indeed she was. Aside from that I saw her reviews on Yelp and we talked for at least an hour and clearly she is prepared to explain what a good broker should do for their client. Suzanne really knows this business and has weathered the storms of real estate. Emails and phone calls were always quickly returned. We we able to close our loan in 20 business days - amazing. Might have been faster if I had gotten forms back to her quicker. It was also great to work with a husband/wife team. Scott is an incredible Realtor and we had complete faith that he would find us the right house and handle the negotiations professionally.

I had shopped multiple lenders looking for the best rate and someone that would advise me on the…read morebest path. It wasn't even a competition between the lenders, Leahy lending was by far the best. I worked with James on a refinance and he advised me as if it was his own home. The other lenders were obviously just trying to rush through the process and just get it closed, but James at Leahy Lending took the time to actually tell me the pros and cons of different paths and advise me on the best way to meet the goals that I wanted out of the refinance. I would highly recommend Leahy Lending to help with a new home or refinance. They can make a very confusing and process approachable and easy to understand.

Lana and her team is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and does her homework and research…read morethoroughly. She was able to get me the best rate in such competitive market, but that was not the best thing. Our seller had so many reservations about the VA loan (wanted to sell to someone with conventional loan) but when seller and their agent talked to Lana and asked so many questions, Lana was extremely patient and addressed all their concerns and finally we got our offer accepted just because of Lana Jern. She remains so busy but she or her team-member always found time to respond to any of my questions. 100% would work with her again. Summary: Extremely knowledgeable, puts clients interest at the top, result driven, courteous and friendly

I've been begging her and her assistants to reach out to the credit bureau to correct her mistake, and after at least 10 emails and a year later I still do not have a resolution.

In addition, I was ready to purchase a home last year and the seller told us they wouldn't consider our offer with Dawn as our lender because they had too many bad experiences with her in the past.

Giving the ability that Dawn and her team can do, I have to give them 5 stars. Trust me, they can do this. All you have to do is follow the guide line that Dawn is going to give you on what to do in order for you to be approve for a loan and get going from there. Every single step of the way. Honesty is huge key role. They have gone way more than what I could have asked for and especially with my situation. Good Luck for those who are working with Dawn and her team.

My wife and completed our home buying odyssey in 2011... a long saga with tales of good and evil…read moreleading to a moment like no other... a brave new world, our home. In the not so distant past, evil Realtor overlords dominated the housing horizon. Time and again, we tried to shed these dream oppressors, but alas they seemed to be at every home purchase. Then came Sean... a seemingly unassuming, small town boy with big city dreams. While wandering away from his quaint village of "New York", he stumbled upon a strange, new, and decidedly weird world known as Austin. He sought a different path, one that only became clearer over time. By channeling his spirit in this sparse, south by southwestern community he found his calling... place people in their homes. Nurtured by the Austin oasis, this lone rebel fought the evil Empire for us. Our young warrior was not afraid to turn in a low bid or stand up to the dogmatic forces of proper real estate etiquette. "All they can say is no," said the boy as he became a master. From the vast hilly desert of SW Austin, through the hills and up to the highlands, Sean fought the good fight to put us in a home. Along the way, he dealt adamantly with real estate riffraff and fought for the little guy, establishing himself as a Realtor of the people. Now, as we move on to the next chapter in our lives, we'll forever be grateful to the agent who said "Those electrical boxes will catch on fire!" and "I wouldn't want a rat to fall on your face" and "Got you a free water heater." Truly a man of distinction. Thank you Sean Austin, and godspeed.

He immediately started on our…read moresearch for a home and gave us leads on those that were about to go on the market so we would have an advantage. He always picks up the phone and never made us feel bad for asking questions. He also fought for us when a buyer tried to low-ball us on the sale of our house and he also got us money back from the sellers of our current home after the home inspection. He's found two homes for us in incredibly hot neighborhoods. We would definitely use him again.

Relocating from the East Coast to Texas with a family is not simple, and Julie made the whole…read moreprocess feel manageable. We came in not knowing the areas, the differences between neighborhoods, or even what type of home made the most sense for us long term. Julie helped us break it all down in a way that was easy to understand. She was very knowledgeable about different neighborhoods, school districts, and what each area actually offers. That helped us narrow things down quickly without feeling like we were guessing. One of the biggest things she helped us with was understanding the pros and cons of new construction versus existing homes. She walked us through taxes, long term costs, and what to expect in each scenario, which gave us a lot more confidence in our decisions. She also did a great job balancing both my preferences and my wife's. That's not easy, but she stayed patient and helped us find common ground without ever pushing us. We also spent part of the process renting, and she supported us through that phase too, which we really appreciated. Overall, she's thoughtful, informed, and genuinely cares about helping you find the right fit. Highly recommend.
