In their own words

“We are dedicated to finding the right loans to help you with your personal homebuying or refinancing needs,” says Traci Bell, human resources director.

About the culture

Full-time employees get company-paid health and life insurance and are paid a profit-sharing bonus twice a year. Benchmark offers flexible hours and work-from-home schedules for some positions.

Employees say

"By far, this is the best company I have ever worked for. The leadership is awesome. The spirit of the company is encouraging, helpful and full of hope. I truly feel that I am contributing and that I am appreciated."

"I get to do something that I am well suited for, and when their are aspects of the job that can be automated, then we automate them. I don't feel like we waste time weighing the pros and cons of good ideas; we just constantly implement good ideas, and figure out the good parts of bad ideas."

"I pride myself on trying to make the transaction easy and stress free for all parties. I love working government loans and enjoy the happiness and pride it brings to my first-time homebuyers."

Good works

Benchmark is a strong supporter of our military veterans. Its annual fundraising event, Boot’N & Shoot’N, hosts patriots in one of America’s favorite pastimes: clay shooting. Proceeds go to The Brain Treatment Foundation, which helps retired service members navigate through post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries. In addition to funds raised for charity partners, two mortgage-free home grants have been given to deserving military families, and hundreds of veterans have attended the event free of charge thanks to sponsor gifts.
