Very informative made my loan process very smooth. Informed me about different programs and what would work for me. I would 100% recommend LeDon and will work with him again once the time comes around.

Response from Owner

Jeremiah, finding the right loan program for you was a genuine pleasure. I'm glad I could keep things clear and smooth for you every step of the way. When you know anyone else looking to buy a house, please send them our way. We'll take great care of them with the same level of service.

As first time homeowners we were pretty anxious about the whole homebuying process, but LeDon truly made the experience feel easy and straightforward. He was very knowledgeable and made himself available to us anytime we had questions. He even drove from Detroit to Chicago to be with us in person on closing day! It meant the world to have lender we could rely on and trust to guide us through this process. LeDon is amazing and we could not recommend him more!!

Response from Owner

Savannah, driving down to Chicago to celebrate your closing day in person was truly a highlight for me. Navigating your first home purchase can feel overwhelming, but your trust made it such a smooth journey. It's an honor to welcome you both to homeownership, and I hope you're settling in wonderfully!

As a first time home buyer there were a ton of questions we had. Ledon took the time to explain and help us understand the step by step process of home buying. He communicated with all parties involved and always checked in on us even after closing day to make sure we were satisfied. In our minds, Ledon went above and beyond. He communicated what was going on the in market to get us the best deal and talked us through out financed to make sure we made the smartest decision for the long haul. I highly recommend Ledon to help you secure your next home!

Response from Owner

Cam, working with you and your Savannah as you navigated your first home purchase was truly a rewarding experience. It's completely normal to have questions along the way, and I'm glad I could help make the process clear and straightforward. Ensuring you felt supported before and after closing day is always my top priority. I hope you're settling in nicely and enjoying your new home!

LeDon and the whole team were amazing. We closed in under three weeks with no issues from the team.

I would recommend LeDon to everyone I know who is looking to get into a new home. The professionalism, and care that he showed my family is something we will never forget, if we had been introduced to him we probably would’ve been in our home by now. They say good things come to those who wait so we had a little set back, for a Great ending. Thank you LeDon from the Davis Family

There are all kinds of different people out there who are extremely enthusiastic, and eager to help you achieve your goals of home ownership, HOWEVER none of them are as knowledgeable and trustworthy as Ledon Clayborn, not a single one. The guy is an absolute winner. Ledon worked on many real estate deals with me before I found the right one. He always was ready to help and give me the answers I needed. One of the deals he wasn't even going to make any money on, yet he hooked me up with people who could help me moving forward. Ledon always has the answers to complicated questions, and if he doesn't, he goes out of his way to get those answer as quickly as possible. Your crazy if you work with anybody else. Until the day Ledon retires, I will never even consider doing any real estate moves with Ledon being directly involved. He's your guy, every day all day.

Response from Owner

I don’t think there’s enough words to describe what LeDon did to help my son get his first house. He came through like no other. I was going to be working with another broker and then he told me about all these special grants he could get my son for a first time owner. Not only did he get him that kind of amazing financial support, but when the title company from the seller screwed up and missed something BIG, my real estate agent had to work some magic to get her title company to transfer and help alleviate the issue. LeDon Managed to get his team to review it and get us to close in less than a day. At 4 o’clock on a Monday, LeDon got the go ahead that they could start on the closing. What usually takes at least two days, they got done by the next day! With our closing confirmed for 12 noon. Every time my real estate agent had a question LeDon would answer it. I swear the man never sleeps. It didn’t matter what time of day, he was there for us. He even came to the closing! Dan, the title company representative said that’s very rare. A mortgage broker is just as important as your agent. LeDon is a miracle worker! It was the best choice my son ever made.

Response from Owner

Thank you so much for your kind words about LeDon and his exceptional service! We're thrilled to hear that he was able to secure valuable grants for your son and navigate through the challenges to ensure a smooth closing process.

We greatly appreciate your feedback and are glad your son found his first home with us!

LeDon has been working one on one with my loan as my lender for the past 8 months. I could not ask for anyone else to be so passionate about me as a person and my goals and dreams. He doesn’t only look at you as a customer but as a friend. As well as making sure my loan goes through. He was able to give me such an amazing opportunity when we got accepted for MSHDA. LeDon was able to get our closing from 8k to under $300 total. I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you LeDon for being an amazing lender as well as a caring and amazing person!

Response from Owner

Thank you for your kind words. It's been a pleasure working with you and Britney and playing a small part in making your dreams a reality. I wish you and Britney the best. Remember, I am only a call away.

Our friendship goes back 16 years and it all started with a family tragedy that I personally saw LeDon Clayborn drop everything in his life and commit and devote all his energy to bring about a wonderful family, a beautiful son, a wholesome household and most important, bring smiles and laughter to all those around him no matter what the situation. He is a man I know I can go to when I need help and believe me I have and YES, he is always there for me. From a business standpoint, I watched him work with my son and my daughter-in-law on there first mortgage and even with all their fears , he made a it great experience for them and taught my son much about the mortgage business. But, most importantly, I watched LeDon work so hard to secure another mortgage for my son and his wife, to help save my son's sister-in-law's home, which unbeknown to her was in foreclosure. This was an impossible situation, and I don't know how he did it, but LeDon put together a loan package and my son's sister-in-law is now putting her life together in the comfort of her own home.

LeDon Clayborn provided nothing short of exceptional and exemplary service. His dedication to his clients is top notch and he will fight to the bitter end to get you inside of your home. It is extremely rare to have someone who pushes so hard to be on your side and advocate on your behalf. From the beginning to the end, his customer service is out of this world, he is so personable and he will get the job done… LeDon and his team works non stop to get you inside of your home. The process is intense but the use of his online tools makes it so much easier to navigate and is climate friendly due to not having to print out so many documents. Most of the process was handled electronically. I’m in awe at the quality of concern represented by Guaranteed Rate and I would literally scream on the roof tops regarding the service I received. I have my own home and it was such a challenging process, but having LeDon on my side made me feel like anything is possible. I cannot speak enough about how amazing it is going through this company. I highly, highly recommend him…
