| Here at Benchmark we seek to partner with experienced mortgage professionals who have a team in place and close a minimum of 20+ loans or $3 million in loan volume per month. Secondly, we evaluate the credit standing of all our Branch Partners...particularly any challenges in the last 12 to 24 months. Naturally, we understand that extenuating circumstances occur and we patiently review each letter of explanation when there are challenges. Further, we partner with mortgage professionals who occupy commercial office space. Lastly, we conduct a background check on each and every Branch Manager as well as Loan Officers intending to originate loans for Benchmark. Care and confidentiality are the hallmarks of our selection procedure. |
