Russ and his team were amazing! We didn’t have to worry about anything throughout our entire home buying process. They were extremely thorough and answered most of our questions before we even asked them. 10/10 would recommend!

I am extremely grateful for the work Russell Gerry did for my wife and me during our home-buying process. Working with Russell at Benchmark Mortgage was a completely different experience compared to dealing with a traditional bank. From the very beginning, he took the time to carefully explain every document, every step, and every detail so we fully understood what we were signing and why. Russell made sure there were no surprises at any point in the process. He answered every question we had, explained things we didn’t even know to ask about, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure we felt confident and informed. As first-time homebuyers, that level of guidance and transparency meant everything to us. Because of Russell, purchasing our first home was far easier and far less stressful than we ever expected. We were supported and comfortable knowing he was guiding us each step of the way. Additionally, he didn’t stop after we closed on the house. He continues to send me market updates on our home and even provided us with a box of moving supplies as a thoughtful courtesy gift. I cannot recommend Russell Gerry highly enough. If you are looking for a mortgage lender who genuinely cares and goes the extra mile, Russell is the person you want to work with.

Great people. Thanks to everyone who helped get me into my first home!

Bruce and Yajaira are wonderful team to work with, they are precise, professional and prompt. Together they made our leading experience a great success. Bruce was diligent and upfront, he worked tirelessly to build a plan that met our needs. Yajaira worked tirelessly to make sure that everything went smoothly right to the end. I will highly recommend their services to friends and family and look forward to working with them in the future. Jonathan

We can’t thank Brooke Borchardt enough for her patience as expertise with our closing! Her team, including Haley Kowal, are exceptional and we HIGHLY recommend them!

Working with Victoria Hand was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She delivered one of the quickest closings I’ve ever experienced while remaining extremely professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire process. Victoria kept me updated at every single step, explained things clearly, and truly showed that she cares about her clients, not just the transaction. The entire lending team exceeded my expectations, but Victoria stood out for her dedication, responsiveness, and commitment to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. I’m genuinely looking forward to working with her again in the future and will confidently be sending my loved ones her way. If you’re looking for a lender who gets things done right and fast—Victoria Hand is the one! If you want it shorter, more casual, or tailored for a specific platform (Google vs. lender portal), say the word—I’ve got you

Victoria and her team are amazing! They helped my husband I and had a quick turn around to closing! They spend hours going over in depth with us what everything meant until we were comfortable!
