About Benjamin Thompson
With over 10 years of experience in the mortgage and home financing industry, I have helped secure 2,000+ mortgage loans for my clients who are looking to purchase a new home, or refinance an existing one. I pride myself in setting clients up for success by giving the details needed up front and setting proper expectations for their experience. Whether you are brand new to the process or have completed several mortgage transactions in the past, I am here to assist with any and all of your home financing needs in all 50 states.
Based out of the Midwest, more precisely the Des Moines, Iowa, area, I recently stepped into the role of fatherhood, so I spend most of my time with my wife and our son. When I get a chance, I love to play golf and enjoy watching all my favorite sports teams.
I look forward to working with you!

The APR calculation is based on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in the amount of $240,000 for the purchase of a single-family, primary residence with 80% loan-to-value (LTV) or 48,000% down payment, minimum borrower credit score of 740, and estimated points of 1% of the loan amount and origination fee of $1,295 with 360 monthly payments in the amount of $1,611.
