The folks at Benchmark Mortgage are exceptional. Bruce and Yajaira when above and beyond throughout the entire process. Every mortgage loan can present challenges, Benchmark takes those challenges in stride using their years of experience to guide and expedite the process. We never had to guess where we were in the process and they shoulder the heavy lifting through to closing of the loan while offering expert level advice. We will 100% use the Bruce Burner Mortgage Team for our future mortgage loan needs in the future. Thank you!!

I have used Bruce at Benchmark to provide mortgages for 7 homes purchased over a number of years because every step of the process consistently runs smoothly. He gets the best rates available at the time, handles every detail that arises immediately and continually checks to make sure I am up to date on the process and have no questions or concerns. A fast and worry free experience from start to finish. VERY highly recommend!

Bruce has done many loans for me over the years. Bruce and his team have been nothing but professional and described in detail how the loans would work and play out over the life of the loan. Many thanks to all.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bruce’s level of customer service was beyond any previous refi experience I have ever had. My refi had at least one circumstance that he was able to work with anyway. Started with a complete education on rates, costs, and how everything was determined. Followed up every step by reaching out and making sure it went well. It was easiest major transaction Ive had. And he’s a pleasure to talk to!

We cannot recommend Bruce Burner and his team enough! This is now the THIRD time he has helped our family buy a home, and every single experience has been exceptional. Bruce and his team go above and beyond in every way possible. They are knowledgeable, responsive, patient, honest, and truly makes what can be a stressful process feel manageable and smooth. No matter how many questions we had or obstacles that came up, they were always there guiding us every step of the way. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and want the best for them. After working with them multiple times, we honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with our mortgage process. If you’re looking for someone who is experienced, dependable, and truly the best of the best, Bruce is your guy!! We are so grateful for everything they’ve done for our family over the years!

We used Bruce Burner for our first time home purchase. He was able to get us a rate 0.1% below the promised rate, and had free rate lock. He was very communicative and made things easy.

Bruce was exceptionally insightful, listened well, and helped us find the VA loan which worked optimally for us. He and his team expertly navigated the submission requirements for our loan. Moreover, during an overwhelmingly difficult season of change for us, he was the calming influence we needed to mitigate the chaos with our builder. We are thankful for his team, their experience, and sage and timely advice. Kent M

My boyfriend and I just recently closed on our first home with the Burner Team. Bruce and Yajaira were FANTASTIC! They answered all of our questions in a timely manner and were available to call whenever we needed anything answered. They were also very efficient and were able to help us close quickly. Very on top of everything and very knowledgeable about everything we needed to know! Would definitely recommend or use again in the future. They went absolutely above and beyond and we are extremely grateful for all of their hard work throughout this process.

I can’t say enough great things about Benchmark. From start to finish, they were absolutely perfect in helping me purchase my first home. As a veteran, I really wanted to make the most of my VA benefits, and they went above and beyond to make sure I understood every step of the process and how to maximize those benefits. What really stood out was how attentive and helpful the entire team was. They didn’t just process paperwork, they took the time to educate me, answer all my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable with every decision. I had tried working with a few online lenders before, but none of them came close to the level of service and personal attention I received here. Buying a first home can be stressful, but they made it feel straightforward and even enjoyable. I truly felt supported the entire way. I highly recommend them to any veteran or first-time homebuyer. You won’t find a better team!

Aug 12, 2025

Look no further for a team that will get the job done in your best interests and in a timely manner! The support that Bruce and his team provided our family will forever be ingrained in us in how Lenders should be. Bruce never judged us and provided us with the guidance needed to boost our credit 100+ points!! I could go on and on about Bruce and his team! Thank you again Bruce, Yajaira and Jared!

Bruce, Yajaira, and Jared at Benchmark Mortgage were absolutely great to work with! I can’t imagine applying for a home loan could have been much easier. They answered all questions I had, explained everything with complete clarity, and were very easy to communicate with. They made this process so pleasant and exciting, removing any stress there might have been. If you are considering buying a home I would not hesitate to work with them! You will not be disappointed.

I cannot recommend Bruce & Yajaira highly enough! From the start to the finish,working with them was an absolute pleasure. Their communication was seamless, always prompt, clear & thorough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Attentive, professional, concerned and even humorous at times. Very respectful and tolerant with our ignorance of the processes needed to complete the purchase. Very adept at rolling through any issues that arose. I cannot imagine working with any other team.

Closed quickly. Great communication. We highly recommend them.

Feb 20, 2025

I had the opportunity to work with Bruce and his team as he had a buyer purchasing a property I had listed. Multiple challenges arose on the buyers’ behalf and Bruce always met those challenges head on, keeping everyone informed and brought creative solutions. He exhibited a deep care for his clients (and my clients as well) and has a wonderful passion for helping veterans l! I highly recommend Bruce and his team!

Bruce Burner, Yajaira Burner, and their entire team made the mortgage process smooth, stress-free, and incredibly fast for me and my husband as we purchased our new home—our forever home! From the very beginning, Bruce and Yajaira were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always available to answer our questions. They took the time to walk us through every step, ensuring we felt confident and informed throughout the process. Not only were they supportive and professional, but they also worked with impressive speed—we were able to close in just three weeks! Their team was efficient, responsive, and truly dedicated to making everything as seamless as possible. If you're looking for mortgage professionals who are experienced, trustworthy, and move quickly without compromising quality, we highly recommend them!

I went to Bruce 4 years in hopes of purchasing a home. At the time my credit needed work. He told me how and what to do to get there and here we are 4 years later . After putting in work with He and his wife at Benchmark Mortgage they went above and beyond to help me be able to finally purchase my very first home🎉🎉 Nothing comes easy , they will navigate you through the process.

I will be recommending them to others that I know when they are in the market to buy for fure!

Bruce and the team are THE professionals. After MONTHS of struggling with another company we were put in contact with them and they were able to get us to closing in a little less than three weeks over the Thanksgiving holiday. Bruce took the time to sit down and explain every step of the process. I felt so at ease after talking with him. 10/10 would use them again, this time as a first resort.

Nov 15, 2023

The team at benchmark were very informative, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Bruce is top notch when it comes to communication and is my subject matter expert for anything VA. Being a vet himself he knows all the tips & tricks for my clients and even the co-op agents are impressed and say they will use him! Yajaira and Chris are also communicative and answer any calls to ensure a smooth process, always.

Bruce and the Benchmark team were amazing throughout my home buying process and were very knowledgeable! As a new home buyer and a Navy Veteran, Bruce was transparent in every discussion and always informing me of the benefits I was entitled to! He was thorough, patient, and professional, all while making the process one to enjoy! If you’re looking for a lender, look no further!
