See what our clients are saying about their experience with theLender
The Lender is a top-notch organization. I’ve processed many loans with other companies in the past and have been consistently let down. Not this time. These guys continued to surprise me! They under promise and over deliver.
Kris R.
I had my first experience working with The Lender when they saved a loan at the last minute that another lender dropped the ball on. My overall experience with them was extremely positive. I've worked with several lenders in my time processing and they stood out to be very professional and timely. Tiffany Friedman was especially great! She ensured everything went smoothly and gave us as well as the client a positive turnaround. Look forward to working more with them in the future!

My experience working with the lender was hands down the smoothest process to date. My AE and his team were efficient and professional. Moving forward I am confident in choosing The Lender.

theLender was amazing! Such a great experience with everyone we spoke with. Quick close and with great service! Thanks for making our journey a great one! Highly recommended!!
Jarrett K.
Fantastic service. Industry experts who know their products in and out. I have been in the industry for 25 years and have yet to find a company that offers the products, and has the knowledge their staff has. Haven’t found a better lender to do business with.

Everyones situation is different. Around December 2021 is when we were looking for a loan. This was right at the time when 15% DSCR loans were suddenly becoming scarce. We found theLender through online search and saw that reviews were overwhelmingly positive so we went with them for a 20% DSCR. I had already been in several discussions with other mortgage companies. All offers I was receiving were in the same ballpark for rates and costs. In the end, we found theLender to be super competitive in pricing. Their online system has matured and is not cumbersome in any way. And lastly, a very special thanks and kudos to our loan officer Len Hamilton and the documentation expert Monica Olmos. These two professionals were very courteous, knowledgeable, and they both were continually fast in responses. I am hoping to be contacting theLender again for another real-estate investment purchase!

Donald Deaton and his team at theLender are THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!!! Wild story… At the end of last summer (during the craze), my wife and I got a pre-approval from another mortgage company. Alas, we found the home we wanted and built a nice rapport with the sellers – enough that they chose us! To our dismay, after already getting pre-approved, the mortgage company inexplicably reversed their decision on our loan roughly a week into underwriting. I had 700+ credit and made six figures (still do). My wife and I panicked as we were on the verge of losing our dream home. In desperation, I reached out to a friend who retired from the mortgage business and asked for his help. He told me that the most reliable group he knew was theLender, then he referred us to them. Wow, did we get lucky!! When I connected with Donny, he was incredibly knowledgeable and practical. He didn’t over-promise anything. He knew we were up against the clock to get our loan approved and closed. He walked us through the entire process and emphasized how long each phase could/would take. Donny and his team were thorough but efficient. THEY CARED!! We ended up closing on our loan in UNDER 30 DAYS!! I’m delighted to report that we are living in the home we dreamed of thanks to Donny and his team. They literally saved our mortgage. To cap it all off, we could have easily been just a number (or commission) to Donny and I would have understood if we didn’t hear from him again after the deal was done. But to his credit, Donny followed up multiple times afterward to congratulate us and see how things were going with our new home. It was awesome to know he cares on a personal level. If you are looking for a mortgage company and loan team, I CANNOT GIVE A STRONGER RECOMMENDATION FOR DONALD DEATON AT theLender. Donny will get your loan closed fast and he will do it with integrity and class from start to finish!!!!
