The work experience

that this husband-and-wife team shares affords them the ability to handle

the lending needs of even the most unusual circumstances. They note that

they are well aware of the heightened competition and commit themselves

to respond to agents, builders and their customers with special attention

to detail and service. They express pride in what they term the competitive

advantages that Griffin Financial Services offers, including the security

of sophisticated lending resources combined with the convenience of a

local mortgage company.

Increased technology,

including the use of the internet, has helped to expedite the loan process.

Applications can be made online, and while in past years the process of

application to closing could have taken as long as 60 days, this can now

be done in an average of two weeks. Still, even with the advantages of

modern technology, the Bennetts have found that most loans still need

a personal touch to guide them through from the initial loan application

to the final meeting at the closing table.

The Bennetts

said they want to thank all of the people they have had the pleasure of

working with over the years. "With the help of these friends, we've

continued to be top competitors. We are proud of our customer service,

and we believe that helping homeowners with a friendly approach is the

key to the success we've enjoyed," they said, noting that over ninety

percent of their business is the result of a personal referral from a

past customer.

Residents of

Fayette County since 1987, Frank and Karen Bennett have been extremely

has coached in his two sons' youth wrestling and baseball programs, and

he has served as a wrestling official. For the past three years, he has
