Capella Mortgage Team

Chris Bennett has positioned himself as one of the industry’s most informed, influential and dynamic producers. Bennett has spent the last five years serving as Director of Client Relations at Capella Mortgage – a title which is representative of his 24 years in finance, a passion for real estate and affinity for southern Nevada. His direct and honest approach coupled with being on the forefront of one of the most quickly ascending markets in the country has equated to terrific success. After relocating from Manhattan Beach, CA, hard money and real estate development were the obvious directions for Bennett. Pursuits outside of real estate and finance include philanthropic endeavors by way of Boys Town Nevada (Chair), Pepperdine Alumni Association (Vice President), Vegas Shepherd Rescue, Team Hoyt Las Vegas (Treasurer) and The Sanctuary Project (Executive Board). Other passions include traveling the world, racing Ironman events, family and the occasional glass of Barolo. 

Jim is a Licensed Attorney and Real Estate Broker in the Philippines. His prior legal practice focused on banking and commercial litigation. He moved to Las Vegas together with his family in 2016. He has been in the real estate business as a Licensed Salesperson for six (6) years and he previously specialized in handling loan documents as a Notary Signing Agent. To him, providing exceptional customer service is a means to exhibit pride in his work. He approaches each customer with the main objective of helping solve a problem or achieve a goal, and makes sure that the standard of service is higher than what is expected.

 I came to Capella Mortgage in 2015 as the receptionist, 6 months later, I was promoted to the post-closing department, a position I am proud to still be in. I have managed this department since then. I moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, California 23 years ago with my 3 beautiful children who are now 3 grown adults. My career did not start in the lending industry, when I first moved to Las Vegas, I was a property inspector for a small company. It was the best way to get to know the city. Soon after that, I was set on a career path in Administration in Early Childhood Education. Although I will always have a passion for Education, I found a new passion here with my Capella Family. I have had the opportunity to always serve my community in some way. Sometimes it was as a tutor, other times as a catechist teacher in our church community, and other times as a Girl Scout Troop Leader. Providing customer service to the families of our growing communities has been something I have enjoyed doing for quite some time now. My family has always been my top priority.  I found it to be a blessing to find colleagues who I consider some of my closest friends, who share the same values at home and in the office. We work as a unit to help all our customers and investors the only way we know how, and that is the Capella way.
