Eric Almquist
Eric Almquist is the Branch Manager of Benchmark Mortgage Omaha.
We had the most incredible experience working with Benchmark Mortgage during the process of buying our new home. From start to finish, they demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and dedication. Their level of organization and attention to detail was truly impressive, ensuring that every step of the way was smooth and stress-free.
One of the standout qualities of Benchmark Mortgage was their commitment to keeping us informed throughout the entire process. They maintained constant communication, and it felt like they were always just a phone call away. Whenever we had questions or needed clarification, they were quick to pick up the phone or call us right back, providing us with the guidance and support we needed.
In a world where the home-buying process can often be overwhelming, Benchmark Mortgage made it feel effortless. Their expertise and customer-centric approach set them apart, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you’re in the market for a new home and want a team that truly cares about your experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Benchmark Mortgage. They made our dream home a reality, and for that, we are forever grateful. Thank you, Benchmark Mortgage!

The Benchmark team is great and filled with amazing people. When my real estate agent asked who I was having my loan serviced through, I told her that I was working with Eric Almquist at Benchmark Mortgage. Her response, verbatim, was “I am not going to even bother recommending any of the people I have worked with because you are not going to find a better person than Eric.” That was a great vote of confidence, and Eric lived up to the praise. He was there every step of the way, and we got most of the items ironed out well before any deadlines. It was a hectic time at work for me, and Eric did not waste any time lining out what I needed to do and when I needed to do it by. He also gave advice for our super competitive price range, and it ultimately lead to us getting our first house for a great price. I look forward to working with Eric and his team when I am looking to buy a second house or refinancing.

I was the listing agent for a home that sold recently with a VA loan. I don’t like to discourage clients about taking VA loans even though I’ve had poor experiences in the past. In my heart of hearts, our vets deserve our services and gratitude for the time they’ve served our country.
I was delighted with the work that Rachel Pierce did on our transaction. Everything moved along smoothly and with 4 houses closing the same day, we had to hit our deadline. Thank you for the efficient and accurate work. Our transaction was perfect!
