After I decided to go with Valentina from Benchmark I quickly began to feel relaxed and sure I made the right choice. She was professional, knowledgeable and genuine.

Valentina is always a phone call away. My husband and I were very pleased to see that Valentina and her crew had profound respect to our Veterans of our community. Thank you- The Valadez Family”– S.

“As I reflect back on 2017 and I can’thelp but think of the biggest loss of my life, my better half, my husband.
So many changes came along after he was gone and one was our mortgage and everything that comes along with it. For months I dealt with our previous mortgage company and after not hearing back from them I felt frustrated and dealing with this on my own made everything worse.
In my desperation I talked to a friend and she directed me to Valentina, her along with all of her team worked amazingly fast. This time I was overwhelmed because of how fast everything was moving and because I was seeing the light at the end of this tunnel.
As much as I was nervous and anxious they were extremely patient with me and for that I am beyond grateful. I’m sure my husband would agree.”
