“Mr. Erdmann made my mortgage experience much easier than anyone else. His level of experience as well as the knowledge he holds from being in the finance and banking industry for so many years makes him one of the best people to work with. Mr. Erdmann and his entire team treated me, as well as my family, like they were their own. I would recommend Benchmark and Mr. Erdmann to anyone with confidence!”

 – George H.

“My wife and I are very pleased with Ron Erdmann and the Benchmark Mortgage team. Before we met, I had already done my homework, and other people’s reviews shared great things. They were right! Ron listened to us, was focused on our needs, and provided us with a great home mortgage. Now, looking back on my experience, I remember Ron, Zak, and the entire office team being wonderful to meet, and a wonderful group to do business with. When you want to buy a house, it’s hard to find a group like this. I would recommend Ron and the Benchmark Mortgage team to anyone, and will.”

 – Matt & Lainie D.

“Ron and his staff are amazing to work with! I find myself constantly recommending him to my friends and family members!”

 – Nicole M.

“Ron was great! He walked us through the process and helped us get the best rate possible even during these crazy times. He is committed to great customer service and is even making plans for our financial interest in the future.”

– Scott Gschwind II | via Google

“Ron and his team were actually my second option to compare rates with a national lender. Ron and his team were very easy to work with and we’re more than eager to answer any questions I had or explain each step of the home buying process, which was a big deal to me as a first time home buyer, it was a no-brainer to swap from the national lender to Benchmark based on the customer service alone, the better rate was just a bonus. I totally recommend Benchmark and look forward to working with them in the future.”
