Scott Benson Delivers
“Scott found us a very good lender for a home mortgage. Scott stay on top of things to make the process go very smoothly. The sellers accepted our offer partly because we included closing on the house in a very short time frame. Scott got it done for us.”

Exceptional Service, Meets your deadlines, Very Responsive
“Scott helped us secure a cash out/refi in less than 30 days and met our closing deadline. Scott was extremely easy to work with. Scott took care of all the data the loan processors needed, including the insurance information on our home from the HOA. Scott always answered my phone calls immediately, responded to texts and e-mails immediately. Scott always made sure everything was on track and on time. This would not have happened without Scott's efforts and he always managed to ease my anxiety about the process. Thank you Scott!”

Big Thanks to Scott!
“Working with Scott Benson was a game-changer for our home-buying process. In a market where every offer counts, Scott went above and beyond by personally calling the listing agent multiple times to advocate for us. He made it clear to the sellers that our loan approval was rock-solid and even committed to an aggressive 21-day closing to make our offer stand out. It’s rare to find a loan officer who is that proactive and willing to fight for their clients. If you want a lender who does more than just push paper, Scott is your guy.”
—Damien Tonnelle from Phoenix, AZ
