Ryan, Jay and the entire team at Security National were BEYOND helpful during my refinancing process. They made everything so easy for me and my co-signers (who live across the country!) and I could not be happier with the outcome. They also connected me with a home insurance agent as I needed a new plan and I was able to save even more money! Saved big bucks during a tough time and now I have my go-to folks! Thank you SecurityNational! Thank you Ryan, Jay and the entire team! read more

Had the best experience working with Leahy Lending! I had a extremely complicated situation with my buyers and Ryan and James saved the deal and were wonderful to deal with. I highly recommend these guys! Trusted and true! read more

I had shopped multiple lenders looking for the best rate and someone that would advise me on the best 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. read more

Ryan and James at Leahy Lending are both incredibly courteous and knowledgeable about real estate transactions. I see plenty of real estate teams that hide behind generic landing pages and contact forms that lead nowhere. Within a day of initial contact a member of the Leahy team reached out to me and answered all of my questions. I know that I'm in good hands working with them, and I'm sure you will feel the same way after even a brief interaction. read more

Ryan and his team are exceptional lenders. I have worked with over a dozen mortgage brokers, real estate agents and other industry professionals over the course of 2 decades and Ryan is one of, if not the best for residential properties. Not only did we secure the house of my dreams, we overcame every problem that came up professionally and gracefully keeping the process on track for a flawless execution. read more

Ryan Leahy - Leahy Lending - Mortgage Brokers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Just closed on our 2nd house using Ryan & his team! I didn't even call another broker after our first experience with him. He & Jay were patient as we got pre-approved and then searched for the right home. It wasn't the first one we thought it was. :P They got us great deals & walked our loans through as quickly and thoroughly as possible AND were always there with answers to our (many) questions along the way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this team! read more

Ryan and his team were amazing during this whole experience. I was in a bit of a pinch and needed a quick turnaround on pre-approval over the weekend. Ryan got his team on it right away and walked me through the whole thing. I couldn't be more pleased, and a huge shoutout to James B! read more

TL:DR Overly cumbersome approach to working with customers. Ultimately, just didn't show up for confirmed appointment. Unacceptable. ____________________________________ I'm looking for a mortgage for a place in Austin. I've generally had great success with Yelp reviews, so given the high ratings Leahy made my short list of companies to contact. As I did for other firms, I sent a clear email with the specifics (property location, mortgage amount, etc). The other mortgage companies were a mix of big national firms and the more local Austin based ones. My preference is to support local. All four of the other firms replied within a day or two with clear answers to my questions with attached detailed proposals. All I got from Leahy was a form email with details for how to schedule an introductory call with Ryan. I prefer the quick, easy approach of email, but as Leahy is highly rated and a local Austin firm, I decided to go ahead and schedule a meeting. I followed the Leahy process and scheduled a meeting. I received a confirmation, which I then confirmed as well. I blocked the time on my calendar. At the confirmed scheduled time, I waited and waited and waited ... Ryan never showed up. He finally did call 40 min late. That kind of disrespect for my time is not appreciated. This is not a meeting I requested. It is one requested by Ryan. An unnecessary meeting at that ... lesson learned. My preference is the quick simplicity of providing by email or through an online form the details needed, minimizing the demands on the firm's time and also on mine. If a business is going to impose more cumbersome and time consuming approach on customers, showing up for confirmed meetings is basic level service. In contrast to my Leahy experience, two firms had excellent online tools that went through the workflow to collect the info they needed from me. Those two firms were also the quickest to provide complete, detailed quotes. The online tool lowered their costs and demands on their time, but also meant higher customer satisfaction for me. These two firms, not surprisingly, also had the most competitive quotes with the lowest fees. read more

My family and I are very great full for Leahy Lending & Team. They helped reduce our interest rate in half and made our experience very comfortable! read more

Ryan is the best in Austin. Exceptional service and ability to be creative to solve problems.

As this was my first time buying a house, I was greatly impressed with the easy, smooth process of using Leahy Leading. The team was great and super responsive and everything went according to plan. read more

Ryan is the consummate value-adding, trustworthy partner - he's working to build long term relationships not make a quota. I haven't done a mortgage through him yet - twice applied and walked through a refi process. In both cases he has been patient, truthful, efficient and caring. The first time around the numbers didn't make sense - and he told me do. The second time he recommended a heloc instead of a refi - sending me to another provider. THEY were terrific but Ryan didn't make a penny. Finally, in a world of spammy emails from realtors and mortgage brokers, his bulk communications are useful and targeted. He's the kind of dude you'll end up consulting on anything $$$/real estate related. read more

We couldn't have asked for a better partner in purchasing our new home. It's tough enough to go from "just-thinking" to close in less than a month, but an entirely different ask when there's a jumbo loan involved. Ryan and team worked within our tight constraints, pulling long hours to get us from pre-approval to close in 3 weeks. Communication and response times were great, making an inherently hectic transaction move as smoothly as possible. read more

I received quotes from a couple of lenders and not only did Hometown Lending find me lower rates for less points, Ryan helped me plan a long-term strategy and made me feel more confident in what was an otherwise stressful process. His team was fast and efficient, and they were ready to close a week early! read more

The entire team at Leahy Lending is top notch! I was informed of all the steps along the way and all my questions were answered promptly and completely! Thanks for all your help and my closing was a breeze thanks to the Leahy Team!! read more

I can't even express how helpful, quick, and kind Ryan, James, Jay, and the rest of the HomeTown Lenders team was. From beginning to end, Ryan and James were with us every second helping us understand everything we needed to know to be able to buy our home. They were always responsive and thorough, and I always felt like their only client -- which I know isn't true. I would absolutely recommend Ryan and his team to anyone buying a home. You won't be disappointed! read more

They should get a zero! They won't let me even talk to an actual loan officer without them doing a hard credit pull. I used to be a mortgage broker and know what is needed and a hard pull to do an initial conversation regarding my scenario IS NOT NEEDED!!!! I strongly suggest you look elsewhere for a mortgage There are lots of other mortgage companies you can work with read more

This is the third time we have used Ryan Leahy to fund our home purchase or do a re-fi. Each time he gets better. This last re-fi application process was the easiest, user-friendly, process of any mortgage loan process we have ever had the pain of going through. Ryan is easy to deal with, responsive, honest, and ethical! We will use him if the need ever arises, again. Top-Notch stellar service and very good rates and costs. read more

This was a great experience working with this team for the purchase of my first home. I had communication with 3 people, Mara who was top notch on first point of contact, and then Daniel and Michelle throughout the closing process who had great attention to detail and customer service. I would highly recommend this team and company. read more

Kudos to Ryan. I had a deal that was falling apart, but because of a creative solution that Ryan Leahy put together, we were able to save considerable investment that my client had already put into her project and move to the closing table. read more

The best Mortgage experience I've had! Ryan, Renee, and Jay were absolutely wonderful to work with. They responded quickly to my questions and proactively made sure I was on track to buy our home. Their portal made document tracking and providing my financial information so easy, but at the same time, a human was right there when I needed one. Special shout out to Renee, who might be the nicest, most positive person I've ever spoken with. THANKS! read more

I worked with Ryan Leahy while shopping the Austin market and he was excellent through multiple offers on different homes. He provided cost breakdowns, rate estimates, and was exceptionally responsive. I never felt pressured, and he was a great help to understand my buying position and the options available to me. read more

Ryan is hands down the best lender you will find on both costs out of pocket and responsiveness throughout the closing process. I had a pretty quick close with holidays mixed in and they were able to pull it off with ease. Ryan and his team take the time to answer every question and are very thorough in ensuring you are understand the worksheets and terms of closing. Literally every phone call or email was promptly answered. I never had a single worry during my quick close. Now for the good stuff. I had shopped around with many lenders prior to Ryan and was happy enough with a previous estimate that I was apprehensive to work with Ryan. However, I am so glad I did! Ryan and his team blew the competition out of the water. Ryan saved me a significant amount of money in both closing costs and loan interest (without discount points!). The underwriting process was a breeze as their website makes the document process very easy - thank you Jay! All around, these are good honest people who do great work. You want people like this in your corner when buying a home. I look forward to my next deal with Ryan and his team. read more

Ryan and his amazing team did a wonderful job supporting me and my husband throughout our home buying experience. It consisted of multiple offers on different homes with many 'best and final' situations. Ryan never let us down and always came through and we found our perfect home. We can't say enough about how amazing it was to work with Ryan, Renee and Jay. Thank you all for helping us in such a competitive market to purchase our home! read more

Ryan Leahy - Leahy Lending - Closing Day! - Mortgage Brokers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Dealing with everyone at Leahy Lending was a pleasure! They worked so hard to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible and gave above and beyond service when anything came up that needed attention. Could not recommend them more. read more

We were looking to re-finance during a crazy time; 2021 freeze, newborn baby, rates were starting to go up, and Ryan's team was in transition. Ryan is always professional, timely, and reachable. We knew the market was changing, but he got me the lowest rate and stuck by it. It always felt like his team had my back, they value you as a client. Even though it was a crazy time, I felt comfortable and confident with an easy re-finance process, and got a rate I can feel awesome about for years. Thank you Ryan & Hometown Lenders! read more

Ryan cares deeply about what he does and the service he provides to all that he connects with, not just his clients. I would highly recommend Ryan and the Hometown Texas Lending team! read more

Ryan was very accessible and always went above and beyond to get me information and keep me in the loop on things. My transaction was a little complicated since I am self-employed, and my co-borrower is partially employed by me. But Ryan's team handled everything with ease, even after we had to get a third-party company involved to bridge the gap after my buyer's financing fell through on the sale of my former home while I was under contract for this one. In short, I can't say enough good things about Ryan and his team. These guys are winners. read more

Ryan is the best. He is extremely professional, friendly, and was able to ease my concerns I had on my first new home purchase. Ryan was able to push the close on time past the finish line through all of the stress of the new build. I highly suggest him to anyone looking to finance or refinance a home. Also he has the best rates! What's not to love?! read more

Ryan and team were super efficient. We agreed on a date and they hit with very comfortably, without any sort of hiccups, rushed requests. They were in fact very patient as I was slow on some of things I owed them. This is very different from the experience that I have from other lenders where it feels like there's a lot up in the air and you never know what to expect from the "back office!" and the banker keeps coming back with a lot of paper work asks, often as urgent requests!! Strongly recommend Ryan. read more

Ryan and his team did a terrific job. Closing on a mortgage loan or refinance is always gonna have some frustrations along the way. But, these minimized those for me, made sure I got a very low rate with minimal upfront cost and closed in 3 weeke flat. Nice job! Highly recommend. read more

Ryan and his team are one of the best groups in the business. I was able to get numbers for my loan the day I reached out, closed on time, better interest rate than the previous lender we talked to AND appraisal came in perfect. We will continue to use Ryan and his team in the future as well as refer friends! read more

Just funded our home refinance loan yesterday. Had a great experience working with Ryan and his team and locked in an amazing rate! I'd highly recommend working with this team! read more

We could not have asked for a better experience than what Ryan and his team did. We worked with Ryan and Renee mostly, and Jay was our underwriter. This All-star team was on their game in all facets of processing our loan. As you may know, or will find out, there are always obstacles and uncontrollable's while purchasing a home, and these guys had a solution each time. I can not recommend them enough. If you want a team of professionals looking out for your best interest, these are the folks you want to do business with. read more

Ryan was absolutely terrific to work with. I initially contacted him after doing research on mortgage brokers. He was very attentive to my long-term real estate plan and offered his expert opinion about how better to execute it. During the loan process, he and his team were on top of everything, and Ryan was available to answer all my questions along the way. We had a quick turnaround to close on the property and Ryan and his team made it happen! On the closing day, he called to congratulate me. He is a great person to work with, very professional, and extremely personable. read more

Ryan and his team are simply top notch. From pre-approval to closing we have received nothing but stellar service and frequent updates. As first time home buyers, we were not sure what we were getting into, but Ryan helped us figure it out quickly and easily. Even our realtor said that Ryan and his team were the easiest lenders they have ever worked with. I will definitely be recommending Ryan to my friends and family. read more

Great experience. Ryan and his team are A+. I highly recommend them, as they are super responsive but also just nice people.

Tiffany, Leslie and the entire team were amazing! Not only did they constantly monitor to help us find and lock in the best rates, they were also organized, friendly and professional at all times. They made the entire process very easy. I highly recommend! read more
