“I wish my underwriter, Tess Cotterman were on facebook because I would tag her with all kinds of praise reports right now. That girl just went to bat big time for one of our clients and deserves huge recognition! Thanks Jim Poulin too for going out on a limb for a make sense well deserving client. #blessed”

Benchmark Praise Report About Underwriting
“I must give our Underwriter Jackie huge praise for really helping me out with a loan that I had 9 business days to close. We not only closed the loan in time but had the HUD available 48 hours prior to closing. It was a deal my #1 office here called me in to save because it was going to miss the closing date by weeks through another lender. We really impressed them and were able to pick up another listing agent. It is things like this that separates Benchmark and shows just how much our team contributes to our success and I couldn’t be more thankful.”

Benchmark Praise Report About Post Closing
“I had the opportunity to purchase a home through Benchmark several years ago. The experience was excellent then – reinforced today after spending some length of time on the phone with Stefani Dayton. Her personality over the phone and her obvious desire to provide outstanding customer service went far beyond the realm of business necessity, reflecting a higher standard of excellence upon herself and your organization. Her persistence, patience and strong working knowledge of your systems resulted in all my questions being answered and will unquestionably bring me to your door again in the future.”

Benchmark Hosts “Operation Summit” for Over 40 Support Staff
Often times as a company when we come together to Mastermind, the loan officers and branch managers are the ones participating. Branch support staff rarely get the opportunity to interact with other people in similar roles.
We want Benchmark support staff to know there are many people that understand the challenges of processing loans. They need to know there are people to lean on when they have questions.
Operation Summit is Born
Operation Summit 2013 was held on April 10-11, 2013, in Dallas, TX.
Our goal was to bring production partners, loan officer assistants, and other staff from around the country together to Mastermind on creating “The Picture Perfect Mortgage Team”.
This was the first ever Operation Summit for the Benchmark community and what a huge success.
Employees came from all parts of the country to attend including branches as far as San Diego, CA and Long Island, NY.
Check out what some of the attendees said and we’ll see you next year for Operation Summit 2014!

Boot’n & Shoot’n 2013 is coming…
The Boot Campaign is a grassroots initiative started by five women from Texas known as the Boot Girls. The campaign encourages everyone to “get their boots on” providing an easy and tangible way for Americans to show appreciation for troops, cultivate awareness of the challenges they face upon return and raise funds for military programs meeting the physical and emotional needs of our heroes.
Benchmark Mortgage and Babe’s Chicken partnered with the Boot Campaign to host “Boot’n & Shoot’n” in Dallas, TX. This one day event consists of a sporting clay shoot in the morning and an afterparty with great food and live music.
What better way to say “Thank You” to our troops than wearing a pair of boots just like theirs? Join in the growing chorus of musicians, entertainers, athletes and other celebrities and get YOUR boots on!
