"It all started when our old mortgage was way too high and with the economy being so slow, there was no way we could afford the ridiculous high payments on our house...Benchmark provided us with the best mortgage interest rate, dealt with our previous bank and penalty, they were always very professional, responded quickly to all our questions, and the best part is we are saving $400/month on our house. I would definitely recommend Benchmark to all my friends and coworkers."
