Megan Henderson

“As a 2022 first time home buyer, Megan Henderson is the lender to have! She made my home buying process so seamless and was able to close in 18 days! Her daily check-ins via phone calls, text, and email ensured that I was up to date on every step of the home buying process. She is truly a gem who cares deeply about her clients. Megan was able to guide me through the process with ease and expertise. I look forward to recommending her to family/friends and with her help, you will be in your new home soon!”

“We talked with about 3 different lenders and decided to go with Megan because her initial breakdown was great. Was it super confusing? Yes it was but Megan was great and walked me through each step and even after if I didn’t understand something she was more than happy to explain it further.

Not only was she super informative she was great with responding. She got back to any text within 24 hours of the initial message.

I am so glad that we choose to work with Megan as I don’t think we would have gotten our dream house without her.”

– Hailey Allen from San Diego, CA | (via Zillow)

“Megan was so helpful with the purchase of my condo. The first time we met, she took the time to get to know me and really broke down the numbers to help me understand everything. It can be quite a lot to take in. Her level of care, attention to detail, and professionalism far surpassed my expectations. I really appreciated her honesty and transparency throughout the entire process.”

– Jen Kerr from San Diego, CA | (via Zillow)

“Although most of the transactions I made with Megan was either by telephone, text and emails, she was very conscientious and responsive. She made the loan processing easy and prompt. The loan she processed was approved and closed at the time she promised. I would strongly recommend her to someone looking for a lender”

– sadarme from San Diego, CA | (via Zillow)

“It was super easy to work with Megan. She took the time to clarify all my questions no matter how many times I asked them, she was easily available for a phone call if needed and was really quick in getting back to me over text messages. It made the entire process of buying a home a lot easier. I’d definitely love to work with her again in the future.”

– kandhari from San Diego, CA | (via Zillow)

“It was my first time buying a home and I was terrified. Megan made the process very easy whenever I had a question and made everything easy to understand. Additionally, I went into the process thinking I would get a certain product and she informed me that there was so many more options that I qualified for. Its going to save me thousands and thousands over the life of my mortgage. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or refi.”

– AndrewOzeroff from San Diego, CA | (via Zillow)

“Just closed on my second loan working with Megan. Upon starting this review, I read the ‘About Megan’ story, and I smiled at how accurate it was. Megan helps you get a loan each step of the way, goes the extra mile and is always responsive to questions and requests. I plan to continue using Megan in my future real estate transactions and will make sure friends know she is someone that can be trusted and will do a GREAT job. Well Done Megan, THANKS!!”

– Nando from Coronado, CA | (via Zillow)

“Megan is the expert to go with if you need the best deal on your VA home loans. She expertly and expeditiously worked on my closing and managed to get me close before my deployment. She has consistently been looking out for best deals on refinancing even after closing. I highly recommend Megan to every person who wants to enjoy efficient and highly reliable mortgage finance professional services while receiving extreme low interest rates.

To my military folks in and around the San Diego metro and entire CA, Megan is the best loan officer to get her work for you while you focus on your busy military life. She’s very trustworthy and knowledgeable in the mortgage finance business.

I highly recommend Megan to everyone seeking to close on time and at the lowest interest rate possible.”

– Petty Officer Ogoe-A from Winchester, CA | (via Zillow)

“This is a much overdue but well deserved review!! A few months ago alI had the privilege of working with Megan to refinance my home. I had been shopping lenders a while and while price was important I was ultimately looking for someone who was knowledgeable and helpful….enter Megan! From start to finish Megan was responsive and thoughtful when I reached out and made me feel like I was her #1 top priority. Additionally Megan presented several financing options to consider and in the end recommended a cash out refinance that not only SIGNIFICANTLY lowered my interest rate but saved me thousands monthly once I was able to consolidate my debt. Megan was professional and personable and I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family!!”

– Michelle Hasten from Lakeside, CA | (via Zillow)

“First off this is my second time dealing with Megan and I am very impressed with her knowledge and availability. If I had a question she had an answer for me. When I applied I thought maybe I go in this direction and she said I think you should do this instead. Bottom line is we saved so much money 💰 and brought my interest rate down.

If you plan on contacting a lender then I give her my highest recommendation for service. You won’t find someone who is as thoughtful for your future. Don’t hesitate make the call.”

– Ernesto Solano from Chula Vista, CA | (via Zillow)

“Megan has great patients with the new and timid, me. She helped me every step of the way.

– Rich Killingsworth from Imperial Beach, CA | (via Zillow)

As first time home buyers, we had zero clue what we were doing. Megan was so helpful and consultative throughout the entire process. We learned so much from her and will recommend her to everyone we know.

– garobert from San Diego, CA | (via Zillow)

– nobles101 from Chula Vista, CA | (via Zillow)

“Was referred to Megan years ago, but then I moved states. Didn’t realized that she can provide loans in multiple states! If it wasn’t for her following up with me I would had never got a chance to work with her again. She was very thorough and my loan was closed less than 30 days. I worked with lenders before that would make a lot of mistakes and keep asking for more and more documents. Megan was fast and efficient and I never had to provide anything twice. Megan will be my go to from now on for all mortgage needs and will get all of my referrals!”

“My husband and I owe Megan of Benchmark Mortgage a huge THANK YOU!!! We had a major issue with our previous lender half way through process and had to fire them and find a new lender. We were recommended to Megan and Benchmark and boy they did not let us down! From the moment we switched she worked her tail off to keep everything going on track so we didn’t lose our new house or any money we would have had to come up with if there was any kind of a delay in the process. She was quick and professional and had answers for any questions we had. She calmed our nerves, dealt with our questions and made us feel like we were in good hands. So again a huge THANK YOU to Megan for taking great care of us!”

– alexcya from Dallas, TX | (via Zillow)

“Megan was awesome. She worked so quickly to help get us going. Our sellers wanted a 21 day close so we were very rushed for time to get all documents together, approved, signed and ready to go within 21 days. This was all while both my husband and I had work travel. She was so straight forward in what she was sending, what needed to be done with it, and by when. Worked very quickly, efficiently and professionally to get us our loan.”

– Jenn Vautier from San Diego, CA | (via Zillow)

“Megan was super helpful and patient. We had a few hiccups with getting all the paperwork ready she walked us thru it and made the process so much easier. Always available and ready to answer the so many questions I had and worked around our crazy schedules. Made sure we understood the whole process and were comfortable.”

– Paulina from Temecula, CA | (via Zillow)

“My wife and I recently married and are now expecting. Why not top it off with a new home for our little one. As a prior service Marine I was able to utilize the VA Home loan backing and Megan new all the ins and outs of the loan type. We were able to close a lot quicker than anticipated and Megan helped the process go smoothly. We hit a couple of snags here and there but Megan is a hard charger and made sure we got our keys and our home on our terms. Obtaining a home is a stressful process but Megan definitely took care of us and did everything to put our mind at ease. She also recommended a very good real estate agent that helped us pick the perfect home for our family. We are super excited to be moving in and have Megan to thank for getting it done.”

– Chris from Murrieta, CA | (via Zillow)

“Megan was absolutely awesome! She was extremely professional and all the while she demonstrated a genuine concern for our best interest. I bought a house over 20 years ago but the experience doesnt even come close. Megan was so warm and personable, and she stayed is daily contact with us until the end. Bottomline, we are raving about Megan to our friends, family, and colleagues. Megan has my strongest recommendation for anyone considering purchasing a home.”

– Vernon Fowler from Murrieta, CA | (via Zillow)

“Was such an awesome lender who made this entire process such a breeze. She was incredibly knowledgeable and knew how to handle any and all issues that arose. Her upbeat and positive attitude made it such a please to work with her. If/ when I purchase another home I will absolutely use her as my lender again. She couldn’t have done a better job, especially for someone that was a first time home buyer like me. I appreciate all that she did to help my husband and I buy the house of our dreams.”

– Katherine Smith from La Mesa, CA | (via Zillow)

“There’s so much that a person doesn’t understand when applying for a loan, that sometimes you just agree to everything that your lender says. Not Megan though! What I really loved about her was she explains everything in detail (in plain English language that I understand) what I was signing and what the next steps were in the process. There’s a lot of lenders around, but just like your hairstylist, you want to work with the one you feel most comfortable with. She is professional, easy to reach if any questions popped up, and most of all she’s got one of the prettiest smiles around. Safe to say that we will be using Megan again as a preferred lender for future transactions.”

– Glenn Moe from San Diego, CA | (via Zillow)

– Lacey Stalder from Ekron, KY | (via Zillow)

“Megan has been in contact with me for over a year trying to get me out of a 6.25% fha loan. She professionally kept me up to date with the market and showed me how I could save money with taking equity out of my home to pay off a really high interest rate credit card. I finally went through with and I’m so glad I did. She walked me every step of the way all the way from Washington. It felt like I was there in her office. The process was so simple I didn’t even realize we were closing in 3 weeks. I now have about $20k in my pocket and my mortgage payment barely went up. Thank you Megan I will recommend you to everyone.”

– Vicente from Pasco, WA | (via Zillow)

“When my wife and I wanted to refinance our home to get a better rate, we met Megan and she was the most helpful lending professional I have ever encountered. We had owned our home for about two years and the interest rates had gone down. She was so thorough in explaining our options that she made everything extremely easy and simple to understand. Megan just had a way to connect and understand what exactly we needed as customers. Buying a home or refinancing a home can be life altering decisions and she made it so comfortable to get through all the paperwork required to get to the finish line in a timeline that was good for us. She never made us feel rushed, or I never felt that I didn’t understand what I was signing in the mountain of paperwork and the pros and cons of each signature. I highly recommend Megan Henderson above all others and would have her help us again without a second thought. Thank you Megan, I wish there were more like you out there, the housing market would certainly be a better place!”

– Ryan Dean from Fountain, CO | (via Zillow)

“I can’t say enough about how amazing Megan was throughout our whole process. She truly did everything in her power to get us approved and more! I bugged her with some many questions and scenarios and she answered every call and text (even after hours) with a great attitude. If you are looking for someone who is willing to go out of their way to help you under any circumstance, she is the One! I will for sure be letting anyone that needs a VA loan know about her!”

– Jade C. from Murrieta, CA | (via Zillow)

“Megan was referred to me by a friend. I have multiple properties and was hesitant to switch lenders. I’m so glad I did. She explained everything in detail and made sure I understood everything. She always responds in a timely manner and really knows what she’s talking about. I felt at ease and extremely comfortable working with her. I highly recommend her to anyone who is engaging in the home loan process. Thank you, Megan!”

– bobo430 from Bend, OR | (via Zillow)

“Megan was really supportive throughout the whole process. We met up in person at her office, where we had a lengthy conversation about our needs, goals, financial situation, etc. She gave us a questionnaire to fill in to ensure she would come up with the best loan options for our situation. For every property we were interested in, she provided us with breakdowns for all the different options we had. It was a pleasure working with her and I fully recommend her!”

– perdei from San Diego, CA | (via Zillow)

“Megan is amazing person to work with. She is extremely patient and goes above and beyond when it comes getting you the proper loan. She is upfront, honest and allows you to take full control of the mortgage lending process. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to purchase. :D”

– rayner ecoatm from Escondido, CA | (via Zillow)

“Megan Henderson is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about loans. She was great for us as first time home buyers to make sure to answer all our questions. If she did not know the answer, she would not force one and get back to us ASAP when she found out. It was hard to find someone that did not pressure us at all and was available all times of day to help us in anyway possible. It was a great pleasure having her work on our loan.”

– Justin Cheung from San Diego, CA | (via Zillow)

“I purchased a condominium in the Rancho Mission Villas in spring of this year (2017) as an investment; I was living as the primary caretaker with my elderly father in his house at the time. My realtor recommended I work with Megan Henderson, and it turned out to be a very good choice. I met with her on two occasions in her office, and we spoke several times on the phone during the process. Personally, Megan is very engaging and friendly, which was important since my investment decision was a major financial move on my part and I had some anxiety about it. Her manner made me comfortable and I felt able to ask any questions I had. Besides her demeanor, I was truly impressed at her professionalism; my in-office meetings with her in particular were extremely well-organized. We talked over spreadsheets she had prepared (digital and hard copies), and she was able to identify results of different “tweaks” I’d suggest, such as changes in amount of down payments, interest rates, etc. Outside the meetings, she made a point of keeping me informed of the status of the loan review process, via email and/or phone. All in all, Megan was great to work with and I’d recommend her without reservation to anyone interested in obtaining financing for any reason.”

– Timothy Gauss from La Mesa, CA | (via Zillow)

“Megan was a great loan officer. My real estate agent highly recommended Megan, and it worked out. This was my first-time buying a home so Megan patiently answered all my questions. Even before buying a home, I contacted her to figure out budget and debt payments. This is unique to Megan that she is so hands-on. Megan is involved in the planning and preparation process necessary for buying a home. Other lenders are more concerned with getting buyers who are buying within a short frame of time. She is knowledgeable and is willing to work with you to create a reasonable pre-approval letter. She is very responsive so that helps a lot to get a pre-approval letter to the seller quickly which ultimately helps in winning the housing bid.

She is extremely flexible as well. I had to drive from North County to her office which meant that I would not get there until after hours. She was willing to stay late to meet up with me. Also, if she cannot answer within a 24-hour period, she will definitely communicate that there will be a delay in communications.”

She laid it all for me it in a way that was easy to understand and answered all of my questions. I was on deployment for part of it but she was so understanding and was willing to work through the communication difficulties. Once it was all finalized, I couldn’t believe how easy it was. Thank you Megan!”
