From the initial pre-approval phase all the way through to closing, Sammy was nothing short of incredible. As first time home buyers, my fiancee and I were very overwhelmed but Sammy seemed to have everything under control. We had a lot of questions for Sammy ranging from advice around gift letters for our down payment and my fiancee not being a US citizen and had our never-ending list of questions answered almost immediately. This combined with Guaranteed Rate's completely digital application system made the process very stress-free. After we moved into our new place, he even went the extra mile and sent us a box of dessert, which we thoroughly enjoyed! I would strongly recommend Sammy and his team, and will continue to use them going forward.

I was referred to Andrew Monticone out of the Needham branch, through the whole process. Not only did he work step by step and helped me to find the best way for me and my family to get this done quickly and without any delays. He was very good at keeping me informed of what is going on and what to expect next. Communication was terrific and understandable all through this. Even though I dealt with Leader bank in Needham I visited the Seaport branch to open my accounts. In both cases I well pleased with the service and the people that work for this Bank. I wanted to use a small bank just because I knew I wouldn't be just a number in line. And I strongly believe that even if Leader Bank grows to a large bank the service and kindness I received will not change. I would love to thank Andrew and leader bank community for a great job and the compassion on which the showed me and my family. God bless you all. Nelson Vargas.

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.

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. .
