We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Kristin Bailey and her team at LoanPeople. 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. read more

Amanda Stewart is wonderful to work with. Extremely responsive, thorough, and took a genuine interest in helping my husband and I as we navigated the first time home buying process. 10/10 service - highly recommend Amanda and her team. read more

My partner and I worked with Kristin Bailey to buy our first home. She was lovely and made the process much less stressful than it would have been otherwise. She is very respectful, patient, and efficient. Would highly, highly recommend. read more

I reached out to a couple of lenders to explore my options and ultimately chose to work with Max Leaman/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. read more

Fantastic experience working with Jori Stern and the Leaman Team! Jori was responsive, knowledgeable, and made the entire mortgage process easy to understand. Everything went smoothly, communication was excellent, and I always felt like I was in good hands. Even my realtor and the listing realtor both said that Leaman is top of the class. Highly recommend! read more

This company is great. Misty is a Miracle worker and Jackie kept us on track. They are professional and friendly. Also, I trusted them and they came through for us. Larry Conti read more

Misty and her team were one of the few bright spots in my house purchasing process. Typically the loan company isn't in your favorites (I mean it's painful to "borrow" that much money-adulting :)) in the process but Misty was easy to talk to, straight forward and honest, and didn't push or "sell" too much. I locked a rate knowing I would be refinancing in the near future (hopes of rates going down) and Misty was able to reassure my decision. I hope to work with her and her team again soon when it is time to refinance! She was organized, professional, relatable, and brought a human element to this big life decision. Thanks, Sonya read more

Amanda Stewart and her team assisted us with refinancing our home. This was our second transaction with Amanda and it was just as good as the first. Amanda and the team assisted us throughout the process and we closed on time. The interest rate was very competitive. I highly recommend Amanda Stewart @ Leaman Team | LoanPeople if your purchasing or refinancing a home. read more

We're so glad to have worked with Jori Stern and Leaman Team / Loan People for our first home purchase. They were excellent with communication, friendly, highly experienced, and super professional. The entire process was clear for us to understand and Jori and her team were always happy to help with questions and concerns. Our impression was that they are invested in the home-buyer's success and we really appreciate that. We got an excellent interest rate and low fees, and they managed to even bump our closing date up almost a week earlier than originally planned. Highly recommend! read more

Kristin Bailey and the Leaman Team at LoanPeople are top-notch. She helped us secure a fantastic rate on our refinance. Her attention to detail and efficiency meant we closed on time with no surprises. Thanks for the great service, Kristin! read more

Jori and her entire staff were great to work with. My pre-qual letter was done quickly, and they kept my RE Agent in the loop at all times. Estimated closing costs was provided quickly each time I made an offer or if title had any cost changes. Any emails requiring my attention was followed up with a call to me. The coordination of documents between Jori and the title company was efficient, funded and closed as scheduled. read more

Amazing service! Very professional. They were very clear on what we needed to do. Therefore making process much easier

I used Loan People (Leaman Team) for my recent mortgage, and the process couldn't have gone smoother. They communicated well and often, and kept me informed every step of the way. read more

This is the second mortgage we've gotten in the last few years and the experience with Max Leaman was soooo much better than with Wells Fargo. Our agent at Max Leaman was available for questions, responded quickly, and didn't ask for 1000 documents to approve our loan. Would definitely use again--highly recommend. read more

Had a great experience with this Lender, specifically Jori and her team (Patty & Janey). Will recommend to anyone looking for a lender, 5 out of 5. I engaged with four different lenders when I started the lending process and the other three lenders basically only initially provided me with a standard Jumbo loan option. However, Jori laid out numerous different lending options (Jumbo, 1st/2nd lien, ARM, etc.) based on my family's individual situation. This was basically our first home purchase, so I didn't know what any of these loan options were but she was patient with me and explained the pros and cons of each loan type and what would be best for our family. On top of that, she was able to match the lowest interest rate I got from the other lenders once I was more educated and asked them to get me quotes for a 1st/2nd lien option. Finally, after signing all the closing documents, the loan was funded within about an hour, which my broker said was pretty quick! Do you have to provide a ridiculous amount of documentation.....sure, but that is with all lenders! Again, awesome experience with this group! read more

The Leaman team was extremely helpful with our home buying process, especially Amanda Stewart. She had an extensive knowledge and did whatever it took to make sure we got the best mortgage options. read more

Amanda, Jackie, and Teena are a great team, and made the loan process very smooth for us. I highly recommend this company.

We were able to have our loan approved and executed quickly and efficiently. The team was fabulous with all communication and finalization. Very pleased with everything!! read more

The BEST refinancing experience we have ever had. (Note: Technically, the ONLY refi my hubs and I have ever gone through...) I have to say buying a house and going through the Austin market is daunting, but when you have professionals helping you every step of the way, answering questions and giving you swift responses to what you want (aka show me the numbers), the Leaman team from LoanPeople cannot be beat. I was shopping around with Bankrate and Better Mortgage but not getting far with hunting down reliable online quotes though low, and I wanted to ensure we would close without any radio silence, queue Yelp and they were a top fav. I know, you may think something's in the water, aka marketing and ad revenue dollars at play, but here me out. I asked for a quote through submitting our details online and Jori got back to us within the next morning with the lowest rates and most reasonable closing costs ever. Since we purchased our home last year, we had gone through so much and their system determined the Appraisal fee could be waived ($575 saved) so everything was MUCH lower rates + closing fees total. We decided, let's go local, let's have our money stay in Austin and let's LOCK this down, we want to close asap. I sent a feeler on getting to chat with mortgage brokers in late May and Jori was so helpful, then went through filling the app out in June and we got the ball rolling. Jori was very helpful even though we never met in person (due to COVID and practicing safe social distancing measures) but you would never know since it was business as always. E-mails and phone calls were swift and she shared because everyone has tried to get in on the low rates, the volume of applications are just so high we were targeting an early August close. Cue 2 months later, last Thursday, we closed and I'm ecstatic we went from our 30 year mortgage as first time home buyers last year to 15 year mortgage homeowners and we'll own our own home soon enough with rates under 3%. Thank you for making me SO happy at how seamless this was, I would refinance again and again if rates were always this low. :) read more

My family worked with Misty Spears and her team in securing our financing for a recent home purchase. Misty made the process incredibly easy and was so helpful in explaining every part of the process. This is our second time using Max Leaman Austin Mortgage and we know that we are in great hands! I highly recommend Misty Spears at Max Leaman. read more

Candy and her team did an excellent job with my mortgage! They were responsive during the whole process and answered all my questions. They helped me get the best rate and we closed very quickly. I highly recommend! read more

Max and his team are the very best at what they do. They communicate properly, give good rates and close on time. Jori is awesome and works diligently to give her customers the experience they deserve. If you need to refinance or a mortgage loan I hope that you instill your trust with Max Leaman and his team of expert lenders. read more

The Max Leman Austin Mortgage group has helped me with two mortgages now. I am so grateful for them and their amazing support and service. They go above and beyond. Thanks so much, y'all! read more

Amanda and her group worked hard for us for a quick close, even over Christmas/New Years. Very communicative and explained our first time buyer mortgage that made it easy for us to learn and understand through closing. Highly recommend for buyers. read more

Want to give a special thank you to Candy, Janey and the whole team! Thank you for making the whole process easy, answering, and explaining everything. Highly recommend! read more

Amanda Stewart and the entire Leaman Team are outstanding to work with. We have completed two home purchases and a refi with them over the course of several years and the service is always top notch. Amanda has also been extremely helpful with several properties that we ultimately did not end up purchasing, but she was quick to respond and there every step of the way regardless...which says a lot. I thoroughly enjoy working with the entire team and would recommend anyone to do the same. Leaman Team is my Go To group for anything in Texas or Florida. read more

Absolutely stellar mortgage services. Misty and the Leaman team went above and beyond to provide us with the best possible experience, making the mortgage process the easiest part of our new home journey. We can't thank you enough for holding our hands through it all!! read more

The whole team did a great job in helping my wife and I through our first home buying process. Thank you!

The Leaman team was excellent! They were always available when I needed them to be, answered all my questions even after work hours, and explained things in ways I could understand. Their communication and organization with me was great and I would recommend for anyone! read more

The best rates you'll find anywhere. We bought out austin home 3 years ago and we're really disappointed with interest rates we were seeing, we almost went with another lender and then found the Leaman team who got us over .5% less than anyone was offering on our jumbo lean. Fast forward to now during covid times where interest rates have dropped dramatically, we reached out to the Leaman team again to see if it would be worth refinancing and the rates they're offering us are lower than what the nation average is which was really surprising. All our costs are being built into the loan so we're not paying out of pocket, we're just saving a ton of money with no headache. 100%%%%% recommend the Leaman team! read more

Max's team is top notch. Amanda, Jamie and the rest crew really know how to get things done.

Highly RECOMMEND the Loan People! Our process started with an easy introductory phone call with Amanda. Then we were introduced to the rest of the team working with Lera, and Tiffany. Every one of them was nothing short of amazing! When buying a home there are bound to be many questions that arise and sometimes many times in a single day. They always had time and were very happy to assist with answers. Response times are important in a hectic buying environment. We never had to wait beyond any comfort zone for a response. This is very important. I thank Amanda, Lera, and Tiffany for doing an extraordinary job in assisting in this purchase! They made the process very easy and comfortable! Thank you! USE LOAN PEOPLE services! read more

Jori Stern, Jenny Herrera and the Lehman Team at Loan People are fantastic. As a small business owner I had a difficult time working with other mortgage lenders for often extremely opaque reasons. Where every other mortgage lender did not want to work with someone who had their own small business, Jori and team were very helpful when working with us. They were also very patient at explaining the details of the process. I highly recommend working with Jori and the Leaman Team at LoanPeople. They are also extremely fast and efficient and keeping the loan process moving forward. read more

Wow I can't say enough... With interest rates so low, we decided to do a refinance for our rental property. I saw that the Max Leaman team had the best reviews on yelp and proceeded to fill out their online application. I filled it out on Christmas day and someone got back to me right away the following day. They are so responsive and gave me such a great low rate. They took care of everything and I am blown away by how smooth this transaction went. Thanks so much Max Leaman team. It was a joy to work Kristin and you guys saved us so much money. read more

Jori and her team were amazing! They took such great care of us and made the process very easy. I highly recommend them.

I've used the Leaman Team for two home purchases over the last 13 years and both times were as seamless as can be. Highly recommend them!

I recently worked with the LoanPeople team during the purchase of my first home. Misty and her team provided world class customer service and were impressively quick to respond to my needs. The team was attentive and worked above and beyond to ensure I had a quick and seamless home buying experience. I look forward to working with the LoanPeople team in the future! read more

Absolutely the BEST! Getting approved for a mortgage was a breeze with Kristin Bailey and the Leaman Team at LoanPeople. They were able to get us a great intrest rate and a conventional loan. Always very responsive if I had questions and even worked on their days off. I will always recommend LoanPeople to anyone looking to buy a home, they make dreams come true! read more

Candy was a joy to work with. She made things easy on our end and had very extensive knowledge of both real estate and banking and finance. Hopefully this is our last move but if not I will use them again. read more
