LendFriend Mortgage, we believe homeownership should be possible for everyone—whether you’re a W-2 employee, a business owner, or a veteran. As a licensed mortgage broker, we shop a wide network of lenders to deliver competitive rates, flexible options, and expert guidance tailored to your situation. We specialize in Non-QM loans, including bank statement mortgages designed for self-employed borrowers and entrepreneurs whose tax returns don’t reflect their true earning power. These programs allow business owners to qualify using their cash flow—not traditional W-2s. For military families, we proudly offer VA loans and VA IRRRLs (Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans), helping veterans lower payments quickly and with minimal paperwork. Founded by brothers Eric and Michael Bernstein, LendFriend is built on a simple promise: service first, low rates always. With hundreds of verified five-star reviews, our clients know us for clear communication, personal attention, and results that make buying or refinancing a home easier. From first-time buyers to seasoned investors, from crypto-backed asset programs to jumbo financing, our goal is simple: remove the stress from the mortgage process and help you move forward with confidence.

Flawless Execution. Unbelievable Savings.
I do not typically leave reviews unless a service is truly exceptional. Michael and Morgan at LendFriend provided an unparalleled advisory experience during our recent home purchase. They didn't just process a mortgage; they optimized our financing strategy to generate substantial, unbelievable savings. The level of communication and rigorous attention to detail from Morgan was exactly the caliber of service I expect from my financial partners. Highly recommended for anyone who values premier service, aggressive financial optimization, and a frictionless closing process.
The LendFriend team is the best…
The LendFriend team is the best mortgage lender I’ve ever worked with. They’re committed to giving their clients the best experience and I recommend them to anyone and everyone I know looking to buy a home in Texas.
Best Lender in Austin
Eric and the LendFriend team are truly the best of the best. They made sure I understood every step of the process and was confident along the way. I can’t recommend them enough !
Great Team at LendFriend
Great experience from start to finish with LendFriend. Eric and his team go above and beyond to guide you through the process. Great communication and service. Thank you!
The REAL DEAL!
LendFriend was referred to me by a colleague and good friend who spoke very highly of them as mortgage brokers, and they absolutely lived up to the recommendation. My husband and I had an outstanding experience working with LendFriend throughout our home-buying journey. Eric, Crystal, and Morgan truly are an A-team! From start to closing, they were incredibly helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable, always taking the time to clearly explain every step of the process. They secured us a very competitive interest rate and made sure we fully understood each detail along the way. I reached out to Eric on 1/13/26 and closed on our home by 2/12/26. They worked seamlessly with our timeline and made the process incredibly efficient. We genuinely felt supported from beginning to end, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We’re so grateful for this amazing team and highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home!
LendFriend is the way to go!
The LendFriend team made everything as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend them if you want a stress-free and informed home-buying experience! We shopped around and spoke with other brokers and mortgage companies, but LendFriend stood out to us because of their responsiveness and the time their team took to walk us through every aspect of the home loan process. With LendFriend, we received the most complete information, felt the most comfortable, and secured the most competitive rate!
Amazing
These guys are the best in the business. At the recommendation from a friend, we used LendFriend to help us purchase our home in Connecticut, and I could not be more satisfied with the level of service they provided. This was not our first home purchase, and the difference between obtaining the mortgage this time around and the last is no comparison. They helped come up with solutions to make purchasing our new home as easy as possible prior to completing the sale of our current, were available to answer all of our questions 24/7, and most importantly were able to close with an extremely quick timeline.
The entire team is personable and easy to work with, and made the process completely painless for us. I highly recommend considering them if you're in the market for a new home.
Stress Free Mortgage Process
The team at LendFriend made buying our home in Florida so easy. We had an expiring lease and LendFriend was able to move very quickly to get us closed in under 30 days before the lease ended. They also got us a great rate on a jumbo loan and were available day and night to answer all of our questions. If you’re looking for a mortgage broker that makes the process stress-free while still getting you a great rate, you have to call LendFriend.
