About Us
Roland Benson

Welcome to Community Lending Group, where our commitment to exceptional service drives everything we do. Whether you are a homebuyer searching for the perfect place to start your next chapter or a business partner building a foundation for lasting success, we are here to support you every step of the way.
Mike Frank and Roland Benson have been business partners for 15+ years and have helped thousands of homeowners with their financing needs. We started Community Lending Group because we wanted to create an organization committed to our business partners, borrowers, and teams.
Our team brings decades of combined experience in mortgage banking, underwriting, sales, and client service. From former professional athletes to film-production veterans turned loan officers, we have built a culture that values discipline, creativity, and relentless client focus.
We believe the mortgage process should be transparent, educational, and even enjoyable. That means no jargon, no surprises at the closing table, and a team that answers the phone when you call.
Our Mission
At Community Lending Group, our mission is to guide homebuyers and partners with clarity, integrity, and genuine care—so every closing feels informed, supported, and personal.
Core Values
Our Approach
Even if you are months away from buying, a quick strategy call with our team can save you thousands when the time comes.
