Hello.

My name is John Burnam.

NMLS #247530

John Burnam Headshot PhotoBorn and raised in Fort Worth, I am a native Texan who moved to Austin in the summer of 2000. My wife, Katie, and I met while attending TCU in Fort Worth, and got married in 1999, shortly after graduating. We have two boys, ages 15 and 10. I graduated in 1998 with a degree in Marketing from the Neeley School of Business. In 2000, my wife and I started a company which relocated us to Austin, where I was the co-founder and CFO of an internet-based golf business.

In the summer of 2001 I entered into the real estate finance industry and began my career originating residential mortgages. I built my business primarily through referrals from real estate agents, past clients, friends and family, and also referral sources such as members from my BNI networking group and CEO Network. I am the past President of the Referral Exchange Network chapter of BNI in downtown Austin.

I currently serve on the board of a non-profit called The Warrior Companion Foundation. This organization provides healthcare coverage for service animals that belong to our military personnel and their families. I contribute a portion of every commission dollar to help fund this great charity, and to give back to those who have served our country.

My commitment to providing great customer service, competitive loan programs and rates, and timely closings has helped my business grow, even in uncertain financial times. My team at Benchmark Mortgage and I remain committed to providing the quality of service that homebuyers deserve during the mortgage process.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, fishing, and playing golf.
