North Royalton, OH, Sep 14, 2025, 7:36 PM

My loan officer, Del Lekan was absolutely outstanding to work with, personable, professional, and always timely in communication. What really stood out was the level of care and commitment; not only did he make the entire process smooth and stress-free, but he even showed up to my closing, which meant so much. I truly felt supported from start to finish, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience

I had the pleasure of working with Del Lekan as my lender, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From start to finish, Del went above and beyond with his knowledge, expertise, and guidance throughout the entire transaction. He made what could have been a stressful process smooth and straightforward, always taking the time to answer my questions and explain every step in detail. His professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care truly stood out. I felt supported and confident through the entire mortgage process thanks to Del’s dedication and insight. If you’re looking for a lender who will go the extra mile for you, I highly recommend Del Lekan.

In my personal and professional life I've always been about building relationships and through every interaction with Del I could tell he operates the same . Many conversations we had would start with inquiries about my wife and I or my golf game, which I appreciate the personal touch. I will definitely recommend Del to any friends or family who are looking for mortgage services .

Del and the entire Ruoff Mortgage team made the home buying process smooth, professional, and stress free from start to finish. As a first time homebuyer, there were a lot of moving parts, questions, and moments where I needed guidance, and Del was always there to help every step of the way. He was patient, responsive, honest, and took the time to explain everything clearly so I always felt comfortable and informed throughout the journey. What stood out the most was the level of professionalism and care. I never felt like “just another customer.” Del truly treated me like family and worked hard to make sure everything stayed on track and closed successfully. The communication was excellent, the process was organized, and the entire team went above and beyond to help make my dream of becoming a homeowner a reality. I’m very thankful for Del and Ruoff Mortgage, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home.
