Leader Bank offered the lowest rate with the highest closing cost credit enabling me to buy a 3 family in Chelsea with the only out of pocket expenses being my down payment, and inspection fees. Matt was always responsive to my many, many questions/phone calls and was quick to react to issues caused by a 3rd party. Shannon is extremely thorough in her documentation, as literally not one unforeseen issue related to my finances/documentation came up, never asked for a single document I had completed a second time. I provided Matt with all my financial information up front, he told me what he thought I could get approved for and it closed. Simple as that. .
