Angelo Datseris is the President and Founder of Leverage Lending Group, a family-owned and operated mortgage brokerage built on three core values: Honesty, Integrity, and Accountability.
With more than 20 years of mortgage industry experience and over $1 billion in career loan production, Angelo has helped thousands of families, homeowners, investors, and real estate professionals navigate everything from straightforward home purchases to highly complex financing scenarios.
Angelo believes getting a mortgage shouldn’t begin with trying to fit a borrower into a lender’s box. It should begin with understanding the client’s goals and then finding the right financing strategy to accomplish them.
That’s where Leverage Lending Group’s lending platform makes a difference.
Rather than being limited to the products, pricing, and guidelines of a single bank or lender, Angelo and his team have built relationships with more than 50 wholesale lenders, including many of the largest and most competitive lenders in the mortgage industry. That extensive lender network allows the team to shop for the right combination of rate, cost, guidelines, and loan structure for each individual borrower.
Leverage Lending Group offers Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA and Jumbo financing, along with specialized solutions including DSCR investor loans, bank statement programs, asset-depletion loans, non-QM financing, physician loans, bridge loans, HELOCs and second mortgages, Airbnb and short-term rental financing, and other creative lending solutions for borrowers whose needs don’t always fit neatly inside a traditional bank’s box.
But Angelo believes having more loan programs only matters if you know how to use them.
After more than two decades in the mortgage business, his strength is identifying solutions, structuring difficult transactions, anticipating underwriting issues before they become problems, and moving quickly when a deal is on the line.
And Angelo doesn’t do it alone.
Leverage Lending Group has an experienced team working together in the office, and every member of that team shares the same philosophy and commitment to Honesty, Integrity, and Accountability. From the first conversation through processing, underwriting, closing, and beyond, clients have a team behind them that understands the importance of communication, responsiveness, attention to detail, and taking ownership of the transaction.
The goal is simple: no matter who on the Leverage team you’re speaking with, you should feel the same level of commitment to you and your loan.
Honesty means giving clients straightforward advice, even when it isn’t necessarily what they expected to hear.
Integrity means recommending the financing strategy that makes sense for the client, not simply the loan that’s easiest to close.
Accountability means taking ownership of the transaction, communicating throughout the process, and standing behind the commitments made to clients and their real estate partners.
Those aren’t marketing slogans. They’re the principles Angelo believes a family business should be built around, and they’re the standards expected from every member of the Leverage Lending Group team.
Leverage Lending Group isn’t a giant call center or a faceless online lender. It’s a local, family-owned and operated company, run by Angelo and his wife while raising their two boys, supported by an experienced local team that shares their commitment to taking care of clients.
The business was built with the understanding that reputation matters, relationships matter, and every client should be treated the same way you’d want your own family treated.
Leverage Lending Group serves homebuyers and homeowners throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia, while also providing investor and business-purpose financing across much of the country.
Whether you’re purchasing your first home, moving up, refinancing, building an investment portfolio, or dealing with a financing scenario another lender couldn’t figure out, Angelo and the Leverage Lending Group team have one goal:
Give you honest advice. Show you the options. Take accountability for the process. And help you make the financing decision that makes the most sense for you and your family.
