Leon was absolutely stellar when we got our home in 2021. In an aggressive and white hot market he got our family a WONDERFUL rate and walked us through the process with ease. He came recommended from my boss and I couldn't be more grateful. Getting tons of equity on our home now and the website portal is super easy to navigate.Thanks guys at Academy!

Leon and his team were professional, friendly, and thorough. I appreciate all the work they did on my mortgage application and helping me through everything.

Leon and his team did an AMAZING job!!!! I would not recommend any other company. they made me feel comfortable from start to finish and showed they truly cared about me as a human rather than a prospective client. I would not be where I am now if it weren't for Leon's persistence!!!!! I am so thankful to have found them!!!!!

I don't understand why people say buying a house is stressful. Leon made everything seem so easy, it was actually enjoyable! I tell all my family and friends about the wonderful experience my husband and I had with Leon and our realtor. Highly recommended!!!

Leon and his employees are extremely kind. The poor rating is due to their mistakes that cost us a lot of money and time and their poor communication skills. First, we applied for a mortgage so that we could finish fixing-up a home that we purchased outright. Well, the money that we needed for fixing-up the home was much more than we had in the bank (HGTV shows are honest about that). Unfortunately, Leon applied for the wrong type of mortgage, he completed the application for a fully completed home instead of a renovation mortgage. When he realized his mistake he apologized and referred us to a guy that issued short-term loans. We were grateful for the loan as we were not aware of any other options. The interest and fees that we had to pay for this loan were well over $6,000. We rushed to finished the home in two months and were able to pay-off the short-term loan with the mortgage that Leon helped us apply for. Adding insult to injury, we had to pay over $3,000 for his mistake because he charged us for holding our interest rate for the time that it took us to complete the home. In no other business would the customer be responsible for the producer's mistake. Their communication is poor, not only because Leon completed paperwork for the wrong type of mortgage but also because Kristen Link handles most of the underwriting and her emails are unorganized and lack professionalism. When asking for clarification, she would respond with an even more jumbled email. The last thing is that we have had our mortgage for three months and we received another jumbled email from Kristen Link requesting more information or else the loan will not be verified. What?!?! First, it took a series of emails asking for clarification to understand exactly what she was requesting. Second, the employees at Academy Mortgage failed to send all necessary information or communication to the mortgage company before the loan was issued. Third, our vacation time was abruptly interrupted because they failed to do their job. They cost us an additional $9,000 (that is an exuberant amount of money for us), an unnecessary amount of time fixing their mistakes, and an extremely frustrating experience due to their poor communication skills. They are nice. They are not worth the time, frustration, or money.
