About Rashele Bentz

I am excited to share your decision in making one of the biggest purchases of your lifetime to purchase a home and what I consider one of the most rewarding jobs in sharing this journey with you and your family!


Growing up in the beautiful area of SW Missouri is wonderful and now being in the position to offer a family the same experience in Missouri, Arkansas or Kansas is not only a great opportunity, but also a blessing.


I've been in the mortgage/banking industry for over 30 years and I’m currently Sr Loan Consultant with New American Funding.


I can offer various loan programs from the popular 100% First-Time Home Buyers/USDA, 100% Veteran/VA, FHA with 3.5% Down Payment, and 97% Conventional loan. No down payment, I can help you with that too from our down payment assistance grants/loans.


Buying a home is a stressful experience and I don't take this opportunity lightly, so listening to your needs is utmost important to me so I can provide the best financing options for you and your family.


Feel free to call me to ask questions, address concerns or get pre-qualified at Bentzhomeloans.com.

Pathway to HomeOwnership

Are you Ready?

What is the Pathway to
