Andrew Paul- Veteran Advocate, San Diego Miramar Rd, San Diego

Mr. Paul and his team have the best VA loan process. Very simple to navigate and the open communication that was given was pristine. I was referred to Benchmark Mortgage while I Was stationed overseas and Mr. Paul and his team made the process very easy and had the best VA mortgage rates. Don’t try and use USAA, Navy Federal, or Rocket Mortgage like I did. Save yourself time and go with Mr. Andrew Paul, Megan Henderson, and Jamie King with Benchmark Mortgage because they will treat you like family. This was the best referral from a friend I have ever received to refer me to Benchmark Mortgage. I will be using them for the rest of my life.

Just gotta say wow !! Andrew Paul was amazing and very informative during my process on my first VA loan. If your looking for VA lender this is your guy !!! Highly recommend! Secured a great rate and arguably the best Va Lender in San Diego. Thank again Andrew !

5 stars all day!! We have been working with Andrew at Benchmark Mortgage for a few years now and I would highly recommend him as a lender to anyone looking to buy or refinance. He is especially detailed with the VA loan process and explains every step and answers every question you might have. He has been extremely helpful in breaking it down in a way that I can understand and know our options. He is excellent at communicating and responds to emails and texts promptly which is much appreciated for such timely scenarios.

The VERY BEST VA Lender around. If you're looking to buy a house in San Diego, look no further.

Hands down the best VA lender in San Diego!! Andrew and his team were simply amazing. Being our first time buying a home, my wife and I had a bunch of questions. They took as much time as was needed to ensure we fully understood the mortgage and home buying process. We were always comfortable with our decision to use Benchmark with Andrew's team. Our realtor was a different story and Andrew came through there as well, as he recommended a high quality realtor who gave us the same sense of ease, comfort and level of understanding. Together (and individually on their part), they made moving cross country a breeze! He will be my good to lender moving forward.

Andrew Paul and his team at Benchmark Mortgage San Diego were nothing short of incredible to work with during the refinance of our home from a VA to conventional loan. This is the second time my wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew; both were excellent experiences. Andrew and his team were able to secure an outstanding rate for our refi, but, more importantly, the customer service, communication, knowledge, and professionalism went far beyond any other lender we have worked with. I strongly recommend any future home buyer to finance with Andrew Paul. We will certainly be working with him again in the future.

If you're looking for a VA lender in San Diego and you value great communication, professionalism and top notch service I HIGHLY recommend Andrew and his team. I've only ever worked with Andrew regarding my home loan because he's that good. Andrew put me at ease while I navigated my first home experience. I recently considered a re-fi and went straight to Andrew for questions. The best part? No pressure and he patiently answered all my questions and addressed my concerns with the re-fi process (I had a ton) and when I was ready to commit, Andrew and his team did not disappoint.

When it came time for my family and I to purchase a new home, I was excited to FINALLY be able to use Andrew Paul and Benchmark. He had come so highly recommended by my very close-nit community, I had to see for myself. I was most certainly not disappointed. Andrew was exactly what he was sold to me to be - honest, responsive, communicative, and an expert in VA loans. We are all the way in Houston Texas and things could not have been simpler; it was as if his office was across the street. Nothing slipped past the team Andrew has assembled and they handled every issue with care and precision. Even the app they use made things WAY easier (and I HATE disparate apps). Of course, everything is easy when all is going according to plan so their value wasn't truly proven until we had an issue. This is when I really got to see the team step up and separate themselves from the other folks I had used in the past. The issue I brought on myself was expertly handled and closing went off without a hitch. Simply put, I cannot possibly recommend Andrew Paul enough.

Friendly, professional, and very efficient. Andrew and his team worked diligently on my ReFi and were able to complete the paperwork and document approvals very quickly. This made the process very easy for my wife and I. I strongly recommend Andrew!

Andrew Paul was who helped finance me when I bought my first house and he has helped refinance me now twice since. He is by far the Best VA Lender I have ever worked with. If your looking for a lender in San Diego you will not go wrong choosing Benchmark mortgage. I have personally reffered any of my military friends to this company because it is such a great process with them. Don't just choose any random company be smart and use benchmark they will take care of you!

If you are looking for a VA loan in San Diego then they are the BEST VA lender around! I have personally used Andrew several times and recommended him to all of my clients, friends and family. I can't tell you how important it is to work with a lender who knows VA loans inside and out and Andrew does. He is honest, straightforward and fast because he knows the VA rules so well they can get ahead of any hiccups that may come up. This makes for a super smooth transition. I promise, when it comes to VA loans not everyone is created equal. You really want to work with an expert in that area - Andrew Paul with Benchmark Mortgage should be your first choice.

Mr. Andrew Paul has lots going for him beyond his sheer banking expertise. Mr. Andrew Paul brings a HUGE trust factor to mortgage lending, such that I know he is going to do me right. I am an executive and finance professional involved in countless multi-million dollar deals. I've learned that trust in finance is critically important and that he (or she) bring a high level of professionalism BEFORE I sign the dotted line. Mr. Andrew Paul and his team bring these intangible factors in SPADES. Mr. Andrew Paul is without a doubt the very best mortgage lender in San Diego County. If you're looking for VA Loan in San Diego, look no further. Mr. Andrew Paul is your man. Respectfully, PAUL ANGULO CONTROLLER & TOP OVERSIGHT OFFICER COUNTY of RIVERSIDE, USA

Andrew and his team are such a pleasure to work with! My husband and I are first time home owners. They processed everything so fast especially with how crazy the market's been. They're very knowledgeable in this field. They were always available to answer any questions we had and turn around time to answer our questions was very quick (like within the hour if it's during business hours)! I definitely recommend them if you're looking to buy a home in San Diego. I would work with them again when I'm ready to buy a second home here.

Andrew has been there for our family throughout the home buying process since 2012 , he has helped us purchase multiple homes in different states and our newest one in Florida , as a military family moving every few years its great knowing he has our back ! Thanks Andrew !

Over the last few years we have seen tremendous volatility in many major markets; stocks, bonds, bond yields, and commodities to name a few and a rise in predatory lenders looking to exploit would be vulnerable home owners. As a veteran, my wife and I have refinanced several times in the past 5-years looking to better position ourselves as opportunities presented, and hands down fellow veteran Andrew Paul and his team has had our back and helped us navigate these uncertain waters. Andrew is an outstanding individual who takes taking care of fellow Veterans very seriously - you can tell when someone generally cares about your success and that's exactly what Andrew and his team do from the start. Andrew and his team have my highest endorsement possible for VA and any other type of home loan...I look forward to the next opportunity for doing business with Andrew. Very Respectfully, Chris Connell - retired Navy Chief

1000000% the best VA lender in SD! SUPER knowledgeable and not troubled to share that knowledge with anyone who is willing to learn. We had such a pleasant experience working with this team! Great rates, transparent, FAST, and they care and take a personal interest in their clients even after the transaction has been completed. 100% recommend.

Best VA Lender around! I can't believe how easy it was to work with Andrew and his team. For my VA refi, it took about three weeks from first contact to closing. When I was still shopping for a lender, he was 100% transparent about the costs and provided me a spreadsheet with all the details so there was no confusion. His team was super responsive when I had questions and kept me focused on what they needed next. Everything was done electronically. At closing, I met the notary in an outdoor place, we signed docs for about 15 minutes and so that was only in-person contact needed. Andrew came recommended through a friend and I would highly recommend him as well. He should be your guy when you are looking for a VA loan. He's helping his military brothers and sisters, one veteran at time!

Andrew and his team are by far the best VA lender to work with! He was able to process a VA IRRRL with minimal hassle on my end. Conducting a refinance on a property located on the opposite coast has some unique challenges, but the team's commitment to communication made the whole endeavor much easier. Being able to text or call Andrew and knowing a response was on its way by the end of the day helped answer any last-minute questions and ensure on-time closing at nearly half my previous interest rate. I cannot recommend anyone other than the team at Andrew Paul Benchmark Mortgage!

Great veteran with a passion for helping other military members. Andrew is the best lender I’ve dealt with hands down. He has tons of experience with the VA loan!

Andrew Paul and his team are fantastic! Professional, knowledgeable, supportive, flexible and dependable are just a few of the words I use to describe Andrew. He and his team are directly responsible for getting me the best interest rate at the right time and with the highest pre-approval amount for my home loan (tens of thousands of dollars higher than the next best company). It was a great experience, and I highly recommend Andrew Paul and his team!

Andrew and his team did an outstanding job supporting our first home purchase, we could definitely tell why they were recommended to us as the best VA lender to work with. His team was very informative and patient with us during the entire. Team Andrew was always available to answer questions via email or text.

We have completed multiple financings with Andrew and his team and the service and support is consistently outstanding. The entire process is smooth, efficient, and very professional. We will always come back to work with Andrew and his team because we trust them. Even in cases where Andrew did not cover a certain geographic region, he connected us with another member in the Benchmark network who could help and would provide the same level of trust and confidence. We provide our strongest recommendation for Andrew and his team whether you are a first time buyer, refinancing, military or civilian. You won't find a better or. more dedicated team to providing you the best possible service!
