About Me

Be Admired.

As a dedicated Mortgage Loan Originator, I bring a strong work ethic and deep appreciation for family values to every client I serve. Growing up in a family of Italian immigrants, I learned the importance of commitment, integrity, and community while helping my father run our family pizzerias. Those early lessons shaped my belief that success comes from hard work, honesty, and treating people like family.

Now, I’m proud to apply those same principles to helping clients achieve their dream of homeownership. Whether it’s guiding first-time buyers through the process or finding the right solution for unique financial goals, I’m committed to making each step clear, smooth, and stress-free.

Outside of work, I’m a devoted family man who values time spent with loved ones and the satisfaction of seeing others achieve their goals. Motivated and results-driven, I’m here to get the job done — with professionalism, care, and personal attention every client deserves.

Why Work With Me

A different kind of mortgage experience.

Three things that set this process apart — from your first conversation to the day you close.

01 · My Approach

Treated like family.

Hard work, honesty, and treating people like family — those are the principles I grew up with, and they’re how I treat every client. Your loan is a big decision. You’ll be guided through it the way I’d want my own family guided through it.

02 · The Lendmire Advantage

Multi-lender shopping.

Lendmire is a brokerage — we shop top wholesale lenders to find the best rate and structure for your profile. You don’t get one bank’s offer. You get the right one.

03 · Direct Access

Real human, not a call center.

You work with Benny directly — from preapproval through closing. Same name on the email, same voice on the phone, same person at the closing table. Calls returned same-day, questions answered honestly, and a process that adapts to your timeline — not the other way around.

Cori on the Lendmire team was phenomenal! She was two steps ahead through the entire process of purchasing an investment property. She was solving problems before anyone knew there could have been a problem. Great communication, great availability, all around a great person to work with. She is the reason our deal closed. We look forward to working with her again in the very near future!

Brenda is absolutely one of the most professional hardworking lenders we have ever dealt with; she’s helped clients of ours and now us personally. Her communication is top notch, you never feel like you’re forgotten or left to figure things out on your own, great to answer questions and explain each step. Definitely recommend Brenda to walk along beside you in your purchase process!

As a first time home buyer Curt Galbraith was a wonderful man, he explained everything i had questions about and took time out of his day to meet up late at nights after my night shift, to explain things to me .Over all Curt was really helpful all through closing and always there when you needed him. Thank you so much Curt for helping me through out the whole process.

Brenda, Samantha and the Lendmire team were absolutely fantastic to work with. We had to jump through some major hurdles to get this home done, which most lenders would have gave up, they kept pushing to get this home done for us. I would absolutely recommend Brenda and team to anybody. Thank you so much for your commitment, communication, perseverance through the whole process. Jason & Brooke
