Best mortgage brokers in Austin: find options near you

Josh and his team were wonderful to work with! I have worked with many lenders in my 30 years of real estate, and there are only a handful who go the extra mile and provide consistent updates throughout the transaction ~ sometimes even before I had the chance to contact them for a status! We represented the seller in this transaction, and I can guarantee we received the same top service as the buyers agent. This was also a mail out to our seller, and Josh was able to accommodate getting docs out early for them to sign. The transaction was seamless from start to finish!

Working with Josh and his team was an absolute pleasure. They were super responsive, on top of every follow-up, and made sure we stayed right on track for an on-time closing. Everything felt easy and stress-free! I’d be happy to work with them on the other side of any transaction, having a lender like Josh makes closings smooth and simple. Highly recommend!

I had an outstanding experience working with Josh Brown and his team. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make the mortgage process smooth and stress-free. Josh and his associates took the time to answer every question with patience and clarity, were creative in providing helpful option and their dedication made me feel valued and supported. Highly recommend!

Josh and his team have been fantastic! We’ve had the pleasure of working with them on several transactions. It didn’t matter if we were representing the buyer or the seller, we always got great communication from Josh and his team. This is especially appreciated on the listing side because not many lenders include listing agents on the communications for the transaction and they provided updates weekly. We have and will continue to refer Josh to our real estate clients and other real estate professionals. Thanks Josh! Shelli McLaughlin, TXS Realty

Josh and his team were wonderful from start to finish! They were proactive in getting the ball rolling right away and even closed a week and a half early. Communication was clear and consistent every step of the way. My first-time homebuyer had a smooth, successful, and early closing—and couldn’t be happier! Thank you, Josh and The Josh Brown Team. Y’all are truly fantastic!

Josh Brown and team have been amazing to work with. Their team has provided timely updated throughout the process and kept everyone fully updated every step of the way. They made sure to get documents to us early to accommodate the seller’s busy schedule. Working with a great lending team makes it a smoother and easier transaction for everyone involved. I highly recommend Josh Brown and team!

Josh and his team are absolutely phenomenal. They have taken such amazing care of my clients, are extremely knowledgeable & have a great process that ensures everyone is updated about every step along the lending process. Truly created a seamless, stress free closing. Thank you so much!!

Worked with Misty and her team for a home purchase in 2025. Misty was so knowledgeable and patient with my many questions. I had some complicating factors with the purchase and she reassured me throughout and stayed calm when I was getting nervous. Also, she was so easy to get in touch with. 100% recommend!

From the first conversation I had with Max, he immediately instilled confidence in his team’s ability to get our loan approved and funded quickly. It was the best new home loan experience that I have ever had. Great communication. Excellent team members. I felt supported and updated throughout the process. Max and his team were able to close the loan on time. I would highly recommend Max, his team and the whole LoanPeople organization.

Jori and her team at Leaman were absolutely incredible and made my loan experience as smooth and positive as possible. When I encountered a snag near closing, they responded quickly and effectively, using all their resources to ensure everything stayed on track. I’m deeply grateful for their expertise, responsiveness, and genuine care throughout the entire process of securing a new home for me and my kids.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Amanda + team for both our most recent and prior home purchases. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and thorough support made the lending process overall smooth and stress-free. Every question we had was consistently answered clearly and promptly.

After speaking with other lenders, it was clear that Amanda and her team truly stood out. Their communication was transparent throughout, and we closed on schedule thanks to their efficiency and organization. We recommend them to anyone navigating the home buying process.

I had an excellent experience with LoanPeople. I had not bought a house in over 50 years. Kristin made the loan process so easy and was there to help me every step of the way. She and her staff were kind, patient and always ready to answer any question I had. We were in different cities but the online process for submitting and signing documents was flawless. Highly recommend!

As a first-time homebuyer, working with Max was an outstanding experience. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient, taking the time to explain every step in a clear and approachable way. Max always answered my questions thoroughly and made sure I understood my options, never making me feel rushed or overwhelmed. His professionalism and support made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Max to anyone looking for a lender who truly cares.

Kristin was so great! We really appreciated how responsive she was. Any time we had questions, Kristin took the time to answer them thoroughly and thoughtfully. Everything went extremely smoothly after we went under contract as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience buying our first home!

Eric and his team at LendFriend were incredible. They helped us lock in a competitive mortgage rate and were super responsive—even on holidays! Thanks to their speed and support, we were able to secure our dream home the same day it was listed. I can’t recommend them enough. Really a great experience from start to finish!

Thank you to our Lend friend team! They came up with the best closing offer of all of our quotes. They were quick efficient and very communicative during the entire process. They met us outside of regular business hours to accommodate our work schedules. They helped us close on time smoothly and saved so much money in closing costs! I definitely recommend them.

LendFriend was incredible to work with! They guided us patiently through the extensive, paperwork-heavy process of closing on our dream home. Their team was responsive, knowledgeable, and made a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We’re so grateful for their support and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable lending partner!

I had an exceptional experience with LendFriend Mortgage! From start to finish, the team made the process smooth, transparent, and stress-free. They took the time to explain every detail, answered all my questions promptly, and ensured I felt confident every step of the way. The customer service was outstanding—friendly, professional, and genuinely focused on helping me get the best possible rate. My closing was quick and seamless, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend LendFriend Mortgage, Eric, and Chelsey to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy lender!

I recently worked with LendFriend to secure a loan for my elderly parent’s new home, and the experience was outstanding! Eric Bernstein and the team were knowledgeable, responsive, and guided us every step of the way. They found a loan that perfectly fit our needs, making the process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend LendFriend—I’ll be using them again when my husband and I relocate to join my parents in Texas!

The team at LendFriend was outstanding! They made the entire home-buying and closing process so much easier to navigate. Even with all the paperwork and details involved, they were always available to answer questions and kept everything moving smoothly. Thanks to their support, we were able to close on our dream home with confidence.

LendFriend Mortgage made my dream of homeownership a reality!
From start to finish, their team was incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. They guided me through every step of the mortgage process and made everything feel easy and stress-free. Thanks to LendFriend, I’m now a proud first time homeowner—highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home!

As a Real Estate agent I appreciate a Loan Officer that gets the closing done. Scott Williams recently helped my clients get to the closing table. There was a little hiccup with the paperwork, but Scott kept control of the situation, and put me at ease, letting me know that he just had to get a few more documents, and that there was no risk of problems. I greatly appreciated his resolve to see our deal through to the end. I would gladly trust him anytime to get deals done, thanks Scott!

We had a great experience securing a loan for a new house with Sente Mortgage. Karen Elliott was amazing. She helped us with each step of the way, and provided us consistent insight with the unpredictable rates in the market. One thing I liked about Sente as well is their web portal. It is well made, and I like how it helps track which documents I still needed to sign or which personal documents I still needed to provide to the lender.

Kristin Carroll was lovely to work with! Efficient, communicative and kind. This was my Client’s second time purchasing and second time trusting Kristin with such a great purchase. Thanks for your care and attention!

This was our third time working with Kristin and her team during our home buying process. They have been great to work with each time. They are easy to communicate with and prepared to answer any and all questions. We’re so happy to have found them and thankful for all of their help!

I am a realtor and recently worked a deal with Kristen and her crew. On this particular transaction, we were up against multiple offers and needed to close quickly. Kristen got it done for us on time and we were able to close in just 3 weeks! On behalf of our clients, I will say well done Kristen, we appreciated you attention to detail, your diligence and your partnership to get this deal done on time!!!

Tyler and his team did an amazing job working with my clients getting them to the finish line closing on their forever home! Thank you Sente Mortgage team Tyler Krug.

I have done business with Kristin for over 30 years and it’s been incredible! In fact, she did my very first home loan in the early 90s. She’s has the biggest heart and is dedicated to cater to her clients specific needs! She has helped countless clients of mine as well and they were very happy! If you want a flawless mortgage process, call Kristin as she’s the best!!

The Park Place Finance Team is one of the best in the business. I had a deal fallout with 2 other lenders before contacting Moune Prasasouk at PPF. From the beginning to end he and his team were extremely professional, and responsive. Their communication and follow-up were on point. More importantly they did exactly what they said they would do. I was very impressed after they closed my transaction in under 8 business day. Great job guys! I’ll definitely call on you again!

Park Place Finance is amazing. We were in a time crunch for our investor and the representatives ( Max and Traci ) were able to get the loan done for us in less than a weeks time frame. They set proper expectations and also delivered as said. They communication was phenomenal throughout the process and took the top care of the loan. AMAZING!

On behalf of Baseline Capital Group, we’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Park Place Finance for their outstanding service and professionalism. From start to finish, their communication was clear and efficient, and their attention to detail made the entire process seamless.

A special thank you to Kevin O’Conor, Elliot Connor, and their processor Nicole. Your dedication and care in handling our file were truly appreciated. It’s a pleasure working with such a responsive and knowledgeable team. We look forward to many more successful transactions together!

I wanted to share my positive experience working with Jaron Vasquez, Traci, Zane, and Tomas. It was my first time collaborating with this team, and I was incredibly impressed with their support throughout the entire process, which moved quickly to closing.
Traci was particularly outstanding, processing everything efficiently and completing tasks within 48 hours. I would absolutely recommend this team to anyone. As a broker, I plan to work with them again for any future investment loans.
They did a great job!

As a broker, I’ve worked with a number of lenders, but Chase, Jose, and Joe at Park Place Finance truly stand out. They recently helped one of our clients secure financing for a fix-and-flip project in Dunedin, Florida, and the experience was nothing short of excellent. From start to finish, they were responsive, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. Every call was answered, every request was met, and they delivered exactly what they promised. Top-notch service all the way—looking forward to working with this team again!

We’re incredibly grateful to the team at Park Place Capital—especially Max, Tomas, Zane, and Traci—for stepping in on a deal that was on the verge of falling apart. From day one, they went above and beyond at every turn to make sure we got to the finish line. Their dedication, creative problem-solving, and constant communication made all the difference in getting this deal closed.

Huge thanks to each of you for not only saving the deal, but for doing it with professionalism and persistence. Looking forward to many more successful closings together!

Aloha from Hawaii,
I had an outstanding experience working with Adam and Noah from Park Place Finance. They were an excellent team—knowledgeable, reliable, and truly committed to helping me succeed. They clearly explained every step of the process, and were always available to answer my questions.

What really set them apart was how they went above and beyond by restructuring the loan in a way that was far more favorable for me. While other lenders said no, Adam and Noah found a way to make it work. Their dedication and creativity made a real difference.

I am not only looking forward to working with them again in the future, but I will also gladly recommend them. These are the kind of professionals you want on your side.

Customer service at Barton Creek Lending Group is exceptional. Jason was a pleasure to work with and was patient in answering all questions. They went above and beyond.

We just used Thomas O’Donnell at BCLG. Thomas was fantastic to work with and made our loan process easy. His communication was amazing, answered all questions, and walked us through the whole process until completion.

I would definitely recommend Thomas for all lending needs and more. We had many different quotes but chose Thomas.

Our family couldn’t be happier.

I have worked with Jason at Barton Creek Lending on several mortgages and refinancings over the years. He has always been responsive and helpful working through our intricate projects and financing as a self-employed small business owner.

Nicole, Brandon, and Renea are incredible! Brandon spent lots of time out of his day reviewing contracts with me over the phone and answering any questions I had. The team at Barton Creek Lending handled our contracts masterfully and worked diligently with the title company and other lenders to make our contingent sale/purchase as smooth as possible. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Stacy was phenomenal to work with! Very helpful throughout the process of buying our first home! She made the process very easy and answered all of our questions

I worked with Jason at Barton Creek Lending Group to purchase my first home. He was extremely professional and helpful and guided me all the way through the process. He worked with me to get me a great rate and even reworked the loan a couple of times throughout the process to make sure I had the best rate possible. It was also nice to work with someone at a smaller local firm than one of the less personable big online mortgage lenders. Will definitely use BCLG again!

Jill at Barton creek was awesome! She helped me find and close on my first home in Austin. Jill was very responsive, down to earth, and knowledgeable. Moving to Austin alone, I had no resources or connections to help me in the process, and Jill made me confident and comfortable with the entire experience from start to signing! 10/10 would recommend 🙂

Troy and his amazing team have worked with us for over 6 years now! They have gone above and beyond for our clients and in situations many situations they have not only saved our clients money but have saved deals that were falling apart with other lenders. I have used them for my own person home loan and they did amazing! If your looking to refi or purchase this is a great place to start!

My whole experience through this journey was amazing! As a first time buyer Mrs Joady was truly supportive in many ways, not only did she try different approaches and numbers to make sure I got what I was looking for but she had my best interest at heart. She made sure I was very aware of everything that happened at every step, she made sure I understood numbers and any other information that was needed, and she consistently kept me informed about everything that was happening throughout this journey. I truly appreciate her not only as a loan officer but as someone with a good heart. I would definitely recommend her 100% to anyone who is interested in buying a property so she can do to them what she did to me. I definitely left a happy costumer. Thank you! I got the home I wanted

We would like to acknowledge the exceptional service that we received during our first home purchase. Jackie Avelar’s professionalism and knowledge of the industry was impressive and truly appreciated. She made herself available to answer questions which I truly appreciated. She went above and beyond to ensure that all of our needs were met and that everything was handled efficiently and thoroughly. We are so grateful for all of her work and time she devoted to us from the beginning of the process to the end. I highly recommend her for any of your mortgage needs.

Renee has been wonderful working with. I was semi lost at how my out of state moved and newer Texas laws, I can’t imagine doing this process without her and her team! She is definitely one Kick-Ying Yang Pitbull/Shark of a Broker! I couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated and detailed person to work with, her and her team. I absolutely hands down recommended for my fellow veterans and military families she has our process on lock! Thank you Renee and Colton!

I started with Navy Federal Credit Union as my lender but quickly became dissatisfied because of the lack of communication. My agent recommended Rhonda Jenkins. I am so glad he did. She is thorough, polite, patient, and always there to answer your questions. She will make you smile and feel delighted that she is part of your home buying experience. The lending process will be less stressful because she will be by and on your side. Rhonda, I cannot thank you enough. You are truly a blessing! Travis Jenkins, I can’t leave you out…Thank you for everything.

Rhonda Jenkins is an experienced, knowledgeable and understanding professional who guided me throughout the timely and challenging purchase of my home. Rhonda was able to expedite all the layers of financing and purchasing a home by assisting me with all my questions and challenges I faced. Most importantly, I felt a sense of trust and confidence with all the personal information required in buying a home. I would recommend Rhonda and her expertise to anyone purchasing such a big investment as a home.

Working with Amal for my mortgage was fantastic! She was incredibly patient and kind, even when I felt overwhelmed with questions. Amal took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood every step of the process. I must admit, I wasn’t the easiest client to deal with, but she handled it all with grace. She worked tirelessly to find the perfect deal for me. I’m so grateful for her expertise and support throughout the entire journey!

Absolutely incredible service! Nicholas Josey was our helping hand in making everything go smooth as possible. We felt we had nothing to worry about, and placing our trust in him paid off. We got the best possible rate of anywhere available and prompt efficient service when needed. If we need another loan we will be running back here as fast as we can! Thanks for all the hard work!

My wife and I recently purchased our first home thanks to Tom Oltmann’s world-class services. As first-time buyers, the entire process was a bit daunting before establishing a relationship with a loan officer: we had no idea who to contact first, what questions we should ask, what information we should prepare in advance, etc. Boy, did we luck out. Tom’s expertise was evident from the first conversation I had with him. Not only did he spend a good half-hour on the phone with me answering questions prior to entering into a formal business relationship, he also put zero pressure on us to go with him/Austin Capital Mortgage. In fact, he actually encouraged our desire to do additional research to make sure that he and his firm were a good match for us (huge green flag, imo). Having time and space to make one of the most significant decisions of one’s life, free from hard-sell tactics that leverage a sense of urgency into unprepared action, was incredibly important to us.

As we progressed through the buying process, Tom was always knowledgeable, personable, and, most importantly, a quick phone call away. We never encountered an issue that couldn’t be resolved by reaching out via phone or text.

I seriously cannot give Tom enough praise. He turned an intimidating and seemingly opaque journey into a walk in the park. If ever we find ourselves in a position that necessitates the purchase of a new home in the same area, Tom will be the first person we call.

Thanks again, Tom!

I recently worked with Tom Oltmann as my loan officer, and I was impressed with his service. From start to finish, Tom was incredibly professional, responding to all my questions and concerns almost immediately – often within minutes. He made the entire process seamless and stress-free, communicating every step clearly and thoroughly so I always knew what to expect. What stood out most was his reliability; he followed through on everything he promised without any delays or surprises. Tom is truly easy to work with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to choose him again for future needs.

Austin Capital Mortgage was so helpful getting my refinance done…quickly, easily, and at a great rate. I highly recommend the team, special thanks to Adrienne for her fantastic support. Austin Capital Mortgage knows what they are doing…first class!

Read this review if you want, but I’m sure if you’re reading this you were also having trouble finding a mortgage company. That’s not trying to screw you over. Thus was my experience In May 2025. Not only did Capitol mortgage dramatically beat another rate that I got, they closed in less than a month. No hiccups, no delays, no irritations. I can tell you honestly, this is the only mortgage company I will ever work with. Even when somebody was out of the office, somebody else filled in and helped me out. 10 out of 10 experience. Thanks Charlie and Adrienne

Tom Oltmann. Is. The. Man.
I’ve financed a handful of houses in the past with mediocre results, but the experience I had with Tom at Austin Capital Mortgage was off the charts. The personal touch was incredible. Tom was hands-on through the whole process. He didn’t hand me to the next department. He gave me an overview of the process, answering every question, contacting me if any help was needed, worked with us to get the DTI where it was needed and getting the whole thing through to the finish line. I know Tom does these things all day everyday with hundreds of clients, but he made us feel like we were the number one priority and the only one he was working with. As I said, the personal touch was incredible! Thank you Tom! I will be recommending you to all my family and friends!

Jon in Salado

Jeff and Adrienne were awesome partners in the whole process, starting from initiating the loan application all the way until closing. Highly recommend them to anyone who wants a clean, clear process and great partners to help with their mortgage needs in the future.

HouseMax Funding has been incredible to work with! Kaleb and Angie went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free. They were professional, responsive, and truly cared about making sure everything was handled perfectly. I would 100% work with them again and highly recommend them to anyone!

We came to the House Max team with a crazy ask… close on a new opportunity we had within 5 days. Grant Bair and his team met the challenge and had us ready to close before the deadline. Grant was super communicative throughout the process, which made things feel smooth and stress free. These guys are great to work with and we’ll continue to use them on our future deals.

I’m incredibly grateful for the fast and reliable service from Michael @ HouseMax. Despite having a few challenges with the sellers side, HouseMax (Michael and Erik) was able to pick up the pieces and keep the transaction going without any lengthy delays. They were able to help close on our new property in a short period of time. Their responsiveness and professionalism made a big difference. We’ll definitely keep them posted on our rehab project and future deals. Plus, their rates are competitive in this current market. Highly recommend!

Nolan and the team over at HouseMax funding do a wonderful job! They go above and beyond for their clients, and you can tell they pride themselves in delivering top-teer customer service. Give them a shot on your next project. You won’t be disappointed.

Working with the team at Housemax Funding was a great experience. With the support of Kaleb Provence, we were able to fund and close on my flip property purchase quickly and efficiently. I’ve been hoping to work with Kaleb since 2021, and I’m glad we were finally able to collaborate this year. I look forward to continued communication as we complete this deal and am excited about the opportunity to do several more with the team. I highly recommend Housemax Funding for anyone seeking reliable and professional real estate funding solutions.

My business has grown exponentially thanks to House of Max. Meredith and her team are always working together and guiding us in our best interest. Highly recommended!

The entire team goes above and beyond — not just to get the job done, but to get it done fast and done right. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and take pride in delivering a smooth, stress-free experience. Amber and Aubrey absolutely crushed it — professional, responsive, and on top of every detail. Couldn’t have asked for better people in my corner. Highly recommend!

Incredibly impressed!! Braden is the best analyst!! And Tanner is the best Account Executive!!
Closed my first transaction with Easy Street a few weeks after working indirectly with them for the past year. Before signing up with them as a solo broker, I had referred them a few deals I was unable to close with the bigger DSCR wholesale lenders & they were able to close loans I could not.

Was very excited to work with them for the first time & they exceeded my expectations.

Even with a slight delay on the borrowers end submitting documents we were able to close the purchase on time in only 2 weeks from the time loan was submitted to Easy Street Capital. This is basically unheard of with the big wholesale lenders.

Braden made things very easy for me since I don’t normally process loans myself. He was quick to clarify any questions I had and very responsive.

The closer we were assigned, Maddie was also great too!

Highly recommend working with Easy Street Capital on your next investment property loan!

Very easy to deal with, Jonathan is a great person and very very helpful. He delivers what he promises and I could not be more satisfied. Be an accountable person and that’s what you’ll receive back. Will definitely be working with easy street again!

I thought Brad at Easy street did a fantastic job guiding me through the process. He truly understands the real estate investor mind and their needs. I’ve recommended him to family members and fellow investors and will continue to do business with him and Easy Street as I continue to grow my real estate portfolio. They’ve earned my repeat business

Too many positives I can’t even think of all of them! Just above and beyond working with these guys. One in particular is Mr. Jonathan, if you want anyone working for your company it’s him! Never in my life have I had an easier person to work with. If you want the job done go through these guys seriously I can’t recommend them and Jonathan enough!!!

Easy Street Capital is 100% legit and came through when other lenders couldn’t. I was looking to finance a property that didn’t meet the minimum DSCR requirements with other companies, so I couldn’t even get approved—even if I wanted to move forward. Zach Edelman worked tirelessly to get me qualified and made sure we got to the closing table. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond. If you’re hitting roadblocks with traditional lenders, definitely give Easy Street a shot. I’m incredibly grateful for Zach and the entire team. Highly recommend!

I have worked with Easy Street as a broke on a few deals now and everyone involved in the process is extremely easy to work with. The communication is great and they get things done extremely fast. AJ Weed is my account executive and his communication/attention to my questions and concerns is exceptional. My first deal I sent AJ, he was able to get to the closing table in essentially 24 hours. I was speechless after that the loan closed and will continue to send deals because I know their team will execute. I highly recommend working with AJ and Easy Street Capital.

Be very careful dealing with this group. Especially first time flippers dealing with them on hard money loans. #1 thing they do not mention until 1 1/2 – 2hrs before closing after being asked multiple times days before closing is that your rehab money is not being funded to you even though that is how it is stated on their paperwork. It is a reimbursement of your own money that you spend, after they review to approve the value of work and money you spent. They pretty much stole $7,500 from us since they couldn’t provide that information until they did. We had to back out of the deal because using our money for rehab and getting reimbursed later was not what was planned or how they sold it and would have put us in a bad financial position since they could not give all the proper information upfront. Not sure how they legally do it because funding and reimbursing is 2 completely different definitions, so I would be very careful for any other words and definitions that they manipulate to put money in their pockets. Would not recommend these people at all there is a reason they have a F on the BBB. I just wish I would’ve paid attention. This is a group of people with no morals who is more concerned with putting money in their own pockets instead of being upfront, honest, truthful with people in the beginning.
