Built on relationships, Benchmark Mortgage has remained strong for 10 years.   Now licensed in 47 states , Benchmark supports over 100 branches nationwide. More than 200 top loan originators per month inquire about establishing branch offices for Benchmark, but only a few are selected in the comprehensive evaluation process. “Benchmark chooses to partner with individuals that share the same values and relationships that personify our company”, states Bryan Harlan. “Benchmark continues to focus on aligning with industry leaders that share the same core values.” Benchmark has deep relationships with its loyal partners. “Our core values are the admission price to partner with our company” states Stewart Hunter.

Potential Branch Managers, Loan Officers and corporate employees are evaluated against the core value system adopted in 2005. The company seeks individuals who are not only competent, but those who fit and embrace Benchmark’s culture. Each employee must be customer centric and possess a positive attitude. Relationships are the cornerstone of success in the service-oriented mortgage business. The twin engines of innovation and creativity lead to a dynamism which is a hallmark of
Benchmark. Further, each employee strives for excellence in every aspect of his or her professional and personal life, ultimately leading to success.

The goal of Benchmark has been to be America’s premier residential mortgage company…the company sought after by originators and future homeowners. The trusted financial advisors of Benchmark differentiate themselves from most loan officers in that they approach their clients with multiple financing options based on a wealth creation perspective. “Our goal is for our clients to not only receive loan options tailored to their short and long term goals, but loan options that provide
blueprints for wealth creation assisting in the securing of their futures,” said Stewart Hunter.

The core values emphasis is working. Recently ranked #57 on the Inc 500 List of the fastest growing private companies in America and #12 in the prestigious Dallas 100, Benchmark also received a “Top 10 Residential Mortgage Lender” rating in the DFW metroplex according to the Dallas Business Journal. Bryan Harlan states, “our current growth rate is off the charts and is definitely higher than when the mortgage industry peaked in 2003.”

DALLAS/EWORLDWIRE/Jan. 29, 2007 — Benchmark Mortgage catapulted its branch managers, loan officers and special guests towards new heights of success January 12 and 13 at its Blastoff ‘07 Conference staged at Dallas’ Westin Galleria Hotel. For two days, mortgage industry superstars wowed the audience with deep trainings on Fiscal Literacy, Mortgage Planning, Life & Business Planning, Priority Management, Wealth Creation, Leadership, Best Practices Systems and Personal Transformation.

The grand ballroom of the Westin was equipped with a full sound stage featuring wraparound screens blasting forth multi-media presentations. The ballroom literally shook at conference liftoff as video footage of a Challenger rocket roared off its pad.

After welcoming messages, founding partners Bryan Harlan and Stewart Hunter sequentially introduced several of the mortgage industry’s elite trainers:

(1.) Barry Habib, CEO of the Mortgage Market Guide with over 16,000 subscribers, and one of the few originators to have closed over $2 billion in career production
(2.) Steve Scanlon, Master Coach of Building Champions, Inc. who has coached more than 135 executives in Executive One-On-One Coaching programs
(3.) Ruben Gonzales, a three-time Olympian and popular motivational speaker
(4.) Keith Craft, Leadership Strategist, CEO of the Leadership Shaper’s Institute and keynote speaker at Peter Lowe Motivational events nationwide
(5.) Dave Savage, CEO of Mortgage Coach, the mortgage industry’s flagship origination software used by over 22,000 loan officers in the U.S.
(6.) Jim McMahan, Vice President of CTX Mortgage, CEO of Certified Scripts for Success and a Mortgage Originator Magazine “Top 200 Originator” every year since 1992 with lifetime production of over $1 billion

The unifying theme – the encouragement of each presenter- was that loan originators need to dollarize the lifetime impacts of their loan options, target client “freedom points” and always remember that they’re “equity managers.” They must become relationship strategists focusing on wealth creation and the financial security of their clients using mortgage loans as financial instruments. In short, loan originators must continually sharpen their skills as mortgage planners and trusted financial advisors.
