“Benchmark Mortgage has been absolutely wonderful. Everyone has been super kind and helpful through all the stress of buying a new home. They have answered any questions we have had and made sure we understood everything that was going on. Will most definitely be using them for any future purchases.”

“We recently used Benchmark Mortgage on the purchase of our new home. They were very helpful in getting our loan finalized in a very short amount of time. We were left in a difficult situation by a different loan company with very little time left before our closing date. We needed to find another loan company. We called upon Benchmark Mortgage to see if they could assist us and they were amazingly fast and efficient. They had everything completed and ready for our closing. We strongly and confidently recommend Benchmark Mortgage to anyone needing mortgage services!”

“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.”
