Larry Benton CMC,CSA’s Summary

Larry is a Certified Mortgage Consultant (CMC), Certified Senior Advisor (CSA), and Certified Reverse Mortgage Specialist with over 20 years of experience in the mortgage and real estate industry,

"I'm not a great salesman like you'll find at most banks or mortgage companies where the focus is on bringing in "more deals". I've built my entire business practice around satisfied customers. I want to offer clients more than home loan information, rather tools to assist in their longterm wealth-building strategies using today's mortgage tools. My goal is to empower them with the "know how" so that they will be able to more effectively reach their short and long term financial goals and their payment and equity objectives."

Larry is responsible for advising clients on the options that are available for home financing. It is essential for clients to have someone who can help them to frame their individual financial needs into their home finance vision

Larry supports your favorite charitable organization and will donate $200 for every loan closed in your name, to your favorite charity. If you do not have one, we will make a donation to Maryland Habitat for Humanity in your name. It's one more way we can make a difference.”
