“We just closed on our forever home thanks to the team at Benchmark. I say team because everyone that was involved in our home sale and purchase was always on the same page and helped things move along seamlessly. When we started the process of listing our home so we could purchase a new one, they told me “we want the hardest part of this for you to be moving your furniture.” That stuck with me…and was proven true with their excellent service. They are very invested in the process for their clients and never made me feel like a bother when I had questions or concerns. I would recommend a million times over, especially Danielle McCoy and Nancy Messersmith.”

“My wife and I had an awesome experience with Benchmark. Their entire team was very friendly and made the process of buying a home enjoyable and stress free. Any questions we had were answered quickly which made this process much easier. As a Navy veteran, it was great to work with a team who fully supports our military and showed appreciation for my service by giving me a challenge coin. I highly recommend Benchmark for their customer service. Thanks again!”
