Excellent service
“I’ve used Scott Benson now for my initial home financing loan and a refinance. Scott is extremely reliable and knowledgeable and personable. Scott walked me through the loan process step-by-step. If I had any questions all it took was a simple email and I would receive an answer within 24 hours if not within an hour. When it was time to refinance, my first thought was to call Scott, knowing he would get me the best deal he possibly could very satisfied with Scott’s service.”

Scott Benson was Great!!
“Scott Benson was our mortgage loan officer for the purchase of our new home in South Carolina. Whenever we reached out to him he responded quickly. He worked together well with our financial advisor throughout the process. He always ensured we knew what came next, and in the end ensured that the lawyer's office had everything they needed, as required, for the closing. In the future, we will definitely reach out to Scott if we choose to refinance or to get a Home Equity Line of Credit. He is a 5 star guy and we highly recommend him!”
