What are the Benchmark Core Values?
Relationships
Relationships are the backbone of our Company. Every person we choose to align with, on both the Corporate and Branch levels, is strategically selected. The legs of ‘Relationships’ are honesty, loyalty, empathy, and commitment.
“No one care s how much you know until they know how much you care.” John Maxwell
At Benchmark, we place our relationships above all other things – relationships come first, all other things are secondary. We base our business on preserving and strengthening all current and future relationships. We believe the relationships we choose are our next level, up or down. Benchmark chooses to align with those that will take us up.

Positive Attitude
Benchmark has made a decisive commitment to conduct ourselves with a positive attitude in all areas of our lives as part of the Benchmark Core Values.
We say it like this: When you hit the door to our office, walk in with a great attitude. A bad attitude will get you ejected from our Company and a great attitude will uplift all around you. The legs of ‘Positive Attitude’ are belief, passion, confidence, K.I.S .S. (Keep It Super Simple) and enthusiasm. We prescribe to the philosophy that attitude is everything and it either attracts or repels.

Dynamic
Dynamic is the ‘twin engines’ of Benchmark Mortgage – being creative and innovative. It is our edge and is what sets us away from the pack. The legs of ‘Dynamic’ are innovative, creative, adaptability, marketability and daring.

“Success is not a destination, it is a journey.” John Maxwell
Excellence
