“I met Bill Clayton and his team a little over a year ago. My bankruptcy had just discharged, my divorce was final and a wanted a home for myself and my kids. I had also been care taking my parents with my sister. I thought I would never be able to own a home, after all a bankruptcy ban you for life , so I thought. My best friend that referred me to Bill, had been in her home for about 5 yrs. She told me, you MUST GO TO SEE BILL he can help you. I promise you he will help you. So I took a chance. I remember telling Bill, ” I’m just going to see where I’m at. I am not ready to buy. I gotta save money”. After looking over things Bill told me ” your credit isn’t the problem, you need more income because your student loan debt is high, and you have to wait 2 yrs after discharge under FHA. I wasn’t very disappointed at the time because I figured time flies but Bill made suggestions as to what I needed to do to qualify. I knew what I wanted and I knew what I needed to do with Bills help. I reached back out to Bill to see what my situation looked like this year. I was manually approved but I needed more funding. I had look out for my mom and pop, they likely would be back and I wanted them to be comfortable. I was told by Alyssa and Bill that when the bankruptcy drop off I would likely be approved for the amount I wanted. Everything, everyone was so kind, nice, and honest. They walked me through step by step. I was assured to call and asked any question and concerned would be addressed and it was. I am so thankful to Bill and his entire team, the underwriting team Amelia was wonderful. All of you are so nice and helpful. I can not thank you all enough for making an unbelievable dream come true. My children and I are so happy and I tell everyone about Benchmark. I won’t ever forget you guys. I know people by houses everyday, I just thought I would never see my day. Thank you all again. Keep helping people dream of owning a home come true. Help people to know it is possible like you did for me!!”

“This is a awesome man that took time with my wife and I and explained the process and different options of buying our new home and options of paying off debt as we go. He even answered our questions promptly and with such dedication while on a trip with his wife for their anniversary. He wanted to make sure we were at ease during the whole process, and we were with him.”

“We have purchased five homes in our adult lives. Each experience has been about the same. The mortgage agent would look at our finances and credit rating, then tell us what our new mortgage interest rate would be for our new home. This time the same thing was occurring, they dictate to you what you get. I don’t know what inspired us more, the lack of communication or bad interest rates, but we decided to shop around. Both our real estate agent and financial manager independently mentioned Bill Clayton as our mortgage agent. We contacted Bill to discuss the opportunity for using him as our mortgage agent. Immediately the treatment was different. Instead of us fitting into his schedule, he worked around our schedules. We had a parking place right up front near the business office with our name posted. During our first meeting Bill ask about us. What were our goals and were either of us VAs. This was before asking for financial information. We explained our desire to prepare for retirement in 4 years in Florida. The first step was downsizing and paying off debt. Bill explained how mortgages worked, but also looked out for us when dealing with upfront costs to ensure we were not wasting money since we would be moving in 4 years. We looked at different options. Then we talked about how much to put down. This is when he recommended a VA mortgage. We discussed the pros and cons of a VA mortgage. After our first home mortgage, we have always put 20% down. Since Bill knew we wanted to pay down our debt as part of our goals, he showed us ways to incorporate that goal into our mortgage options. This excited us because he continued to look at our total financial situation not just can we pay for the the mortgage. We ended up with a fantastic rate, low points, 10% down and the ability to pay two bills. This strategy saved us over $2,000 a month. I can’t tell you what this did to forward our financial plan for retiring in 4 years. Our experience with Bill Clayton has reset the bar on what we expect out of a mortgage agent. Thank you is not enough!”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the whole home buying experience. Bill Clayton and his team got us the home we truly wanted and made the process smooth, very fast and made sure we were informed every step of the way!. We started off with another lender and ultimately ended up switching to Benchmark and was so glad we did! Our situation had many obstacles and was probably considered a challenge but Bill delivered! If you are in doubt about whether or not you can even get a loan please give Benchmark the opportunity to help you and you will be so glad you did as we are!! Thank you all so much!!”
