Testimonials

Better financial position today than we ever could have been with anyone else.

Thank you very much for your guidance and friendship as we navigated these interesting years together in real estate. From our first conversation on VA construction loans to closing on our second Benchmark property here in WA, your positive attitude, knowledge of VA products, and honest assessments have allowed us to be in a such better financial position today than we ever could have been with anyone else.

PS: enclosed is my unit’s coin here at Joint Base Lewis McChord. On behalf of all the Veterans you serve, thank you!

If only I could give 10 stars!

If only I could give 10 stars! Dean and his team, (Colby, Maria, and Tara), I specifically have to mention were very patient, kind, and knowledgeable! Dean knows how to work through all the obstacles which may deter others from refinancing or getting a mortgage. I was at the point of giving up, when facing banks and other mortgage companies. If you want a quick VA refinance or new home, I HIGHLY recommend Dean at Benchmark! Thanks you guys! A real pleasure doing business with you.

Lori OliverVA

We had a new build job that took over a year and never once did we feel abandoned or not taken care of through the entire process.

I cannot say enough great things about Colby and his team. As a buyer, he understood my concerns, made the underwriting process as easy and streamlined as possible, and was incredibly reliable, quick to respond, thorough, and took the time to answer the many questions that I had. Colby was incredibly patient and devoted to the transaction. We had a new build job that took over a year and never once did we feel abandoned or not taken care of through the entire process. As a real estate agent, I will continue to be a loyal colleague, and fly the Benchmark Mortgage flag! Colby and his team are without a doubt the best lending group in the valley! I give him six stars out of five!

We were referred to Dean & Shanna Tucker by our realtor (Jill Giese) and were given very detailed, professional and friendly service. At our first meeting with Dean, he explained the whole process to us to include current market interest rates. Dean explained what documentation we would need to provide and how often they would need to be updated. There were no surprises along the way due to the detailed explanation that we were provided by Dean. He kept us updated and answered all of our questions immediately. Dean was there with us at closing to ensure all our needs were met and guide us through the process. He even outlined how to reduce the years of our loan by adding additional funds to the principle. He gave us multiple examples with different amounts showing us that we could take 5, 10, 15 or more years off our loan reducing the interest we would pay. Ours was a VA loan and Dean was able to work it with great ease. I highly recommend Dean and Shanna Tucker.

Becky Burkhart & Carrie MaillardVA

Great experience, highly recommended!

Dean and his team at One Trust were pulled in very quickly on a home offer I couldn’t pass up. They hit the ground running with great speed, confidence, honesty and support that continued through and beyond signing day. This was my first home purchase and they made every effort to keep me informed on the process and answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lender, I was so impressed with how they worked as a team and made me feel so at ease with such a big decision.

Brian AnglinConventional

I am happy to have had the opportunity to work with them!

Sean and I closed on our house a little over a week ago, and we are so thrilled to be living in such a great home, with an amazing neighborhood. I would like to send a gigantic “thank you” to Shanna Tucker and everyone else at Benchmark Mortgage for their expertise and diligence for our first meeting all the way to our closing day. I would definitely recommend Shanna and Benchmark Mortgage, Shanna is an absolute Rockstar in my book.
