Thomas St. John was a pleasure to work with... He understood my needs and timing and worked hard to make sure I had everything
needed so that we could go to closing much faster than I could have imagined. His follow through with details before, during, and after
the process made it a better experience. Should I ever need another loan for refinance or purchase, I will stop and shop Benchmark
first... Thanks!!!

Nothing! Steven was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He was ALWAYS accessible, professional, and understanding. He will be
my first and only recommendation to Family, Friends, and Colleagues!

Thomas St. John is amazing! He explained everything so well and was able to work with my hectic work schedule to
get everything finished. He is very personable and makes you feel like you're more than just a customer. He even
attended my closing.

Benchmark was a fantastic company to deal with. They were always there whenever I had questions and even took
the time to meet with us when we were so confused. They are professional and very knowledgeable. They never
made me feel like I had a stupid question. They are very reliable and are great at explaining things and processes.

I was very pleased working with Steven D'Antonio and the Benchmark Mortgage team. They offered a high level of
customer service and were very communicative throughout the process. They have this done to an art and are able
to troubleshoot and provide insight on what to expect during the home buying process. I would recommend them to
anyone!
