About Us:
Why BMG?
The ups and downs of the housing market, real estate, and mortgages in general, have been in the headlines for several years now. We all enjoyed the upswing in 2004-2006, and have cringed over the last two years watching the slide. Some major banks are going belly-up and mortgage guidelines are being tightened to a point where even the most creditworthy borrowers are being made to jump through hoops. Brokers and banks seem to be working against the homeowner and the realtor in this market.
Benchmark Mortgage Group is doing things differently than most lenders. Our primary goal is to educate our clients. Our conversation with you begins with a no cost, no obligation consultation about your financial picture. Whether your goals is a plan to get out of debt, pay off your home early, make your home more energy efficient, buy, or refinance, we would love to chat with you.
Here's how we're different:
- We'd rather see you pay your house off early vs. keeping a loan for 30 years. Let's put a plan in place to do that. It costs you nothing for a 15 minute consultation.
- If you need a new mortgage, we don't charge expensive broker fees and we don't have to "pay the boss upstairs". This equals less cost for you, the client.
- We're a local, direct lender with in-house underwriting/processing. We're not brokers.
- We have large and local bank affiliations. This means access to every type of loan.
- Niche products like Reverse Mortgages, Rehab loans, Debt Consolidation, First Time Homebuyer, FHA/VA.

Areas of Expertise
We specialize in getting the job done right and having the customer walk away with the feeling that they are our #1 priority. We're not just talking about when a loan needs to be done, but rather the things that don't immediately turn into a paycheck - like sitting down for an hour and helping a client clean up their credit or working up a budget for some newlyweds so they can buy a home a year from now.
PS. When it comes to mortgages, 99% of business comes from referrals with 75% of all deals being purchases. So, we know how to close deals.

Tom Gunn, Licensed Home Inspector & Realtor
Love working with Andrew! He is always available, even on weekends! When you need to reach someone for that "special deal" Andrew always calls back!
Nanci Diamond, Prudential Carruthers
Dear Andrew: Thanks for getting Alex the lowest rate "out there." As you know, his situation was tricky and you got his loan thru within 2 weeks. No one else could touch the loan!
My buyer was turned down by another lender and you got her loan approved almost immediately without having her sell her existing home. She was able to rent it AND get her new home. Thanks again for your hard work in getting her approved so she could get her dream home.
Again, thanks. Kay Deitz, Garceau Realty
Andrew has been a great help with both first mortgages and refinancing of investment properties. I'm self employed and he has done a great job for me.
Kim Roberts, Garceau Realty
Andrew made sure my client's interests were first every step until closing day! The communication was awesome and an overall simplified transaction. Karen M, Prudential Carruthers
