About Jeri Benner
When you’re making one of the biggest investments of your life, you want to work with someone you can trust. As your lender, I’ll always have your back.
Jeri Benner helps her homebuyers find the loan that best fits their financial needs. Jeri enjoys working with first time homebuyers, but is experienced in originating all loan types, including FHA, Conventional, VA, USDA, Construction/Perm, 203k and Maryland Mortgage Program loans. She has worked as a mortgage loan officer since 2002, and she continuously educates herself on a variety of loans programs so she can best assist her clients. Because of this, Jeri is able to think outside the box when it comes to finding the right mortgage for her clients.
As an advocate of using technology to enhance the loan application experience, Jeri encourages her clients to apply through FitzGerald Financial’s secure online portal. She can review the application and do preliminary work before she even sits down with her clients, saving them valuable time.
She is licensed to lend in Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, West Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and D.C.
As a volunteer for Montgomery County’s Housing and Community Initiatives, Inc., Jeri teaches First-time Home-buyer education classes and helps to match first time home buyers with down payment assistance programs. She also volunteers with the Frederick County Homebuyer Assistance Program to assist limited income, first-time homebuyers with purchasing a home.
Jeri is an active member of the Rotary Club of Carroll Creek, whose members volunteer for local organizations and help to raise over $50,000 for the community each year.
Jeri is happily married with two grown sons. In her free time she enjoys visiting her mountain cabin in Western Maryland, where she drives snowmobiles, goes waterskiing, and enjoys other outdoor activities.

"Jeri was absolutely awesome. She kept us well informed throughout the entire process, was timely getting back to us, and was very personalable. She treated us like a great friend or family. We also definitely appreciated and loved the hybrid closing option she offered us. This afforded us the time and comfort of being able to review and actually process what we were signing from the comfort of our own home to understand completely the documents . One thing I would recommend improving is the App Fitzgerald is currently utilizing. I'm not well versed in technology but appreciate something that is user friendly and did not find your app to be the easiest or most helpful, not a reflection of Jeri but something to consider to help future business . All in all a great experience and we could not be happier with our new house or Jeri's services."
