BERTRAM LEBHAR - a man who goes way past the title of loan officer!
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS!
I'm an 82 year-old widow, and while trying to refinance my home, met Bertram Lebhar thru Better Lending.
This man has been so kind, patient, understanding, and, especially empathetic to me - taking the time to explain things to me over & over again - until I genuinely understood everything as if I had worked in finance my whole life.
I'm not talking only about the loan's financials. I'm talking my credit score, the credit scoring algorhythm, why my score is what it is, what I can do to improve it & how I'll benefit. I'm talking where to find the mountain of needed documents or how to get them online. He even dedicated a Saturday night to review my personal budget to help me understand why I was in the position of needing to refinance in the first place, then helped me create a new budget so I don't need his services again in the future. I mean REALLY! What loan officer does that? - I'll tell you one who does ... Bertram Lebhar!
BETTER LENDING LLC, ... he is the BEST Loan Officer you'll EVER have! As a Christian woman, I will be praying for Bert & his family for the rest of my life. I've learned so much from Bert throughout this process about debt, the power of interest & the damage it does ... & gained such insight into my own personal spending habits - whether or not my application got approved or not genuinely became unimportant to me. I am pleased to report, however, despite my 513 credit score - it did!

Working with Alvaro Anaya at Better…
Working with Alvaro Anaya at Better Lending was a great experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and always took the time to explain each step of the process clearly. Buying a home can be stressful, but Alvaro made it smooth and straightforward by staying on top of everything and keeping communication consistent.
What I appreciated most was his honesty and professionalism. He genuinely had our best interest in mind and made sure we understood all our options before moving forward. I would confidently recommend Alvaro to anyone looking to buy a home, refinance, or explore equity options. He’s someone you can trust to get the job done right.

Applied for a VA cash out refinance through this company. They will always changes every time you thought that you finish the process they asked for something else as a veteran I would urge all veterans to stay away from this company. They run the company like a if you were buying a car And you would talk to one person one person and they always changes it around like a Mickey Mouse organization veterans beware

BERT LEBHAR - ABOVE & BEYOND
Billions of dollars have been made selling & conning the elderly, so reading a “rando” text regarding my 82 year-old mother and her VA Home Loan a few weeks ago made the hairs on my neck stand up.
My call was answered by Mr. Bert Lebhar, of Better Lending, LLC. Bert thanked me for calling/apologized for causing my anxiety.
Allegedly, Mom had inquired about refinancing to pay off some debt and convert some of her equity into cash. I couldn’t wait to hear the “hook” on this one …
The “hook” was this: Mom wanted to make the loan, and Bert said it was approved, but he wasn’t 100% comfortable closing the loan and was looking for a “biased” 3rd party to speak with Mom, review the loan estimate and advise whether the loan was genuinely helping, not harming.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. After unsuccessfully trying to flush out alternate agenda, I called Mom/arranged visit.
Review of the loan estimate revealed exactly what both Mom & Bert said it would:
-The loan increases mortgage payment $200/mo+ while paying off debt costing $500/mo+ (saves $300/mo total)
-Loan provides $10k cash
-There are costs (loan not alleged to be “free”)
-all numbers (costs/rates/payments) on point
What the loan estimate didn’t show / but spending the evening with my mother did - was how happy my mother was. I read some of their text conversation and email exchanges which included Bert asking multiple times if Mom genuinely wanted the loan, if she thought it would really help her (and why), and for 3rd party contact info. If I didn’t know any better - I’d have thought Bert didn’t want to give her the loan.
I’ve not shared this with you, Bert. So let me share it here : That is “strong” man. And I couldn’t be more appreciative.
And for everyone else - loan closed Jan 10th, No issues whatsoever, entire process and closing = smooth as silk.
Thank you for treating my mother with care, Bert. And for thinking about something other than a paycheck. You definitely went above & beyond.
Better Lending, LLC - you’ve got a good one!
