My wife and I were working against the clock on looking for a home and we’re glad we were recommended to work with Benchmark.

Angela also helped me by boosting my credit score and John gave me some sound financial advice, which helped us greatly with our closing.

“John with Benchmark was an absolute breeze to work with. After spending a good amount of time crunching numbers with us, we refinanced in early March. The process was incredibly easy, efficient, and quick. The estimated closing costs were nearly spot on and there were absolutely no surprises. Best part is, we didn’t even have to make trips to the office, as we could do everything virtually. As rates continued to fall, we contacted him again to see about refinancing a second time. Again, true to form, his responses were quick with concrete numbers for us to consider. I appreciate his transparency, quick responses, and sincerity. If you’re considering a refi, contact John if you want someone to keep your best interests the priority. You won’t regret it.”

– jennifer_jared from Rockford, MI | (source: Zillow)

“We started our journey with Benchmark late last fall. From the beginning we worked directly with John who was great from day one. He worked around our crazy schedule to speak to us over the phone in the evenings when it worked for us, told us exactly what was needed, and quickly had us preapproved for a home purchase. We struggled to find “the one” until late May 2019 when we again approached John to do a FSBO purchase. We had no idea how to go about a FSBO purchase, nor did the seller. John again worked around our schedule, explained everything very patiently, and sent us all of the documents to get started. Once our purchase agreement was signed and everything was started, his team quickly got to work. They worked with us through phone, email, and even text to make it as convenient as possible to take care of business! The willingness to go above and beyond to make the process as smooth as possible speaks volumes of John and his whole team! We closed on our home today… earlier than anticipated! We were expecting it to be a difficult process but we were so well taken care of throughout the whole process it was a breeze! We would highly recommend John Seville and his team! Thank you for your excellent service and making us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process!”

The best part in everything was the willingness to meet my needs and not just put me in a mortgage.”

– Sara B.

“John’s help with our mortgage was outstanding. From the time my wife and I were considering purchasing the house, John was very quick in providing my pre-approval letter so the whole offering and negotiation stage went smoothly and quickly. Since this purchase was a beach house/second home, there was another offer on the table which ended up falling through due to financing reasons. This was not the case with us. John made himself available to our realtor and proactively reached out to him to make sure the deal was going smoothly and the appraisal would be executed. Since this sale was one of many in the chain of events that needed to take place, timing was of essence. John made sure he stayed on top of the overall process and helped to make sure we met an accelerated timeline. John was always in communications with me and my realtor.

I would highly recommend John for either a new purchase or a re-fi (he also helped us with our re-fi not too long ago). Purchasing a house can be a stressful time, but John made the whole process easy. Thank you.”

My wife and I would like to extend our thanks to you and your team for a great partnership. As you can imagine, getting a new mortgage for our relocation was certainly not something that most people enjoy.

Our goal was to find a company that could instill trust and guide us through the process as we embarked on relocating from Ohio. From our very first meeting, my wife and I were at ease and felt like your team would be great to work with.

You have certainly built a great organization in Grand Rapids and we would highly recommend your company and team to others.
