“Absolutely awesome broker who went out of her way to make sure we received and locked in the best possible rate during a time when our home sale closings were delayed a number of times.”

“ These guys were extremely easy to work with throughout the process. They had everything in an easy to follow online workflow. If there was anything outside the norm they were on it and had it resolved very quickly. What impressed me the most was there communication throughout the process. At no point did I not know what was going on with my application. I highly recommend using them for you mortgage needs. You’ll be happy that you did.”

“I was referred to Stephanie from my realtor. From the beginning she was always open for questions and made sure I was on top of all my paperwork. She was always able to pencil me in with my crazy schedule and the other team members were always on top of their game. Even when my closing was being pushed a day due to other people not doing their job, they stayed on top of the situation and stayed close in contact to get closed on my place ASAP. Thank you! You guys were all amazing !”

“I highly recommend Stephanie and her team. I didn’t want to deal with a faceless person via a website, so I contacted Stephanie. She was happy to make an appointment and meet with me face to face, before doing business. Stephanie took the time to answer my questions and walked me through the refinance process. My refinance was effortless thanks to Stephanie and her team. I really appreciate the job that they did and was amazed at how quickly I closed.”

“As a real estate broker, I’ve seen firsthand how a loan officer and their financial institution, can make or break the home buying & refinancing experience for my clients. Stephanie Medlock with Benchmark Mortgage has been my preferred lender for nearly a decade. I have complete confidence in entrusting my clients with the Benchmark team and know they will be given utmost in care and service. They are knowledgeable, informative, understanding, patient and always prompt.
When it came time to purchase my own personal home (5/2013) and then again recently to refinance (12/2018) I had no hesitation in making a call to my go to gal. Stephanie and her gang once again exceeded my expectations and made the process as smooth and painless as possible .. I HIGHLY recommend them!”

– Rita L. |

“When I bought my first home in SC, Stephanie walked me through the whole process and was happy to answer any questions I had. So when I bought my second home in NC recently, I had no doubts I wanted to work with Stephanie again! I had a new set of questions and concerns that go along with owning two homes, and once again she guided me along expertly. Most importantly, she makes me feel valued as a client, and that’s why I would go to Stephanie again and recommend anyone else to do the same.”

– Jacob H. |

“Stephanie and her team were phenomenal while we were purchasing our first home with a VA loan. I recommend them to all military families and to anyone who wants a hassle free mortgage loan process. Stephanie never left a question unanswered and always made sure we were in the loop with everything. When it came time to move again, her team recommended another Benchmark branch and they were great as well. After 2 home purchases with Benchmark, I will be using them again if we purchase another home.”

– Ashton L.

“This was the 1st time I bought a house, and Stephanie and her team were terrific in guiding me through the mortgage process.

“My wife and I were referred to Benchmark by our realtor, and we had a fantastic experience as first time home buyers. Stephanie and her team took away all of our headaches from this step of the process which allowed us to focus on other areas of our home buying experience. She was very thorough in her explanations of what each step was and what we needed to provide to them. Stephanie was timely in getting things done, and her communication was always very clear. Whether you are a first time buyer or just looking to move, I would recommend using Benchmark to anyone.”

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You worked so hard on our loan. We truly appreciate ALL that you did!”

– Rebecca & Justin H.

“My experience with Benchmark Mortgage was excellent. I was recommended to them by a friend who had only good things to say. I really didn’t think I would be qualified at this time for a home loan re-fiance due to some pending issues on my credit and my new employment… my own bank where I had my savings accounts would not process a refinance loan for me. Stephanie and her team worked hard to not only get my re-fiance approved- saving me thousands of dollars, they helped guide me in cleaning in my credit issues. I locked into the exact type of loan I wanted (30 year fixed rate) at a substantial savings. The process was quick and they made it easy every step of the way. There were no surprise fees, hidden extras, or unexplained expenses. I feel so much more secure in my new monthly payment. I would recommend Benchmark to anyone considering financing or refinancing a home. Professional, helpful, respectful, and efficient. ”

– Cassy S.

– Christopher W. A.

“Stephanie,
I just have to say you were AWESOME!!! Thank you for everything you did from beginning to end. I have to say,out of everyone involved, you were the best!!! Enjoy the accolades!! Again, thank you for everything from taking the time to explain things, working with me on the closing costs, and spending the late nights after putting the kids to bed to respond to e-mails. It did not go unnoticed by me and was absolutely evident throughout the process.”

“Stephanie was amazing! We are new home buyers, and she guided us through the process and made sure we got the best % possible, during the crazy Covid economy. She is also continuing to keep in contact with me to help increase my credit score and refinance.”

“We have used Benchmark Mortgage several times now. Stephanie and her team are very knowledgeable and offer the best options for each situation. We have sent our kids and clients their way. The staff is very responsive, helpful and always friendly.”

– Marcia from Summerton, SC via Zillow

“As a first time home buyer, there were certainly a lot of things to consider and figure out. Stephanie was very helpful every step of the way, and has always been responsive to my questions and concerns. I have already sent several friends her way. I am so thankful she helped me get my own home at age 25! YAY!”

“I worked with Stephanie Medlock at Benchmark Mortgage to finance our newest home. While this Zillow review limits the reviewer to a “5-star” rating system, on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest rating, I would rate Stephanie Medlock a 20. Although she works with the minutia of financial data and a plethora of it, Stephanie employs outstanding human skills, exercising kindness and patience all along the loan process. She is very informative and explains complex issues to a borrower in layman’s terms, without any pressure. I would highly recommend her to a good friend or close relative. Additionally, her staff of Matt and Reilly mirror the same high standards as Stephanie, but then again, it alls starts at the top. You will be pleased if you select her and her organization for your financial needs.”

– W.H. from Charleston, SC via Zillow

“Stephanie was recommended to me by my realtor and she didn’t disappoint. As a first time home buyer, Stephanie walked me through the process so I knew exactly what to expect. Stephanie is professional, patient and prompt. I highly recommended her and Benchmark Mortgage.”
