Peter made our home-buying experience so easy! In a competitive market, he had all of our documents prepared for a quick 10-day close, which gave us a huge advantage. He also helped us lock in a great rate despite the current high rates, and we know he'll be looking out for us when it's time to refinance. Peter is a fantastic resource, and we couldn't have secured our dream home without him. Thank you, Peter, for everything!
This bank helped me get the closing get done in remarkable time after the first lender delayed my process and at the end declined my application Also they got me one of the best rates in the market, basically beat all other rates I got since I started the home purchase process. Also they were on track and very communicative about every step of the process. Personally I will be using there service for any future real state financial needs.
Dave Conti and team were AMAZING! Walked me through every step along the way and responded to questions immediately. Videos explaining financing milestones were informative and helpful - very positive experience
Could not be happier with the mortgage we got through Leader Bank. The process took 30 days and was as smooth and seamless as possible. Chris' team here is supportive and informative through every step of the way.
I had a wonderful experience with Leader Bank. My loan officer Deepak Garg was outstanding! While the mortgage process is always lengthy and cumbersome, Deepak and his team were super responsive and answered all our questions clearly and patiently at each stage of the process.
