The Bennett Family

“Needham Bank is a great organization with great people. They are exactly what everyone wants and needs when they’re looking to buy a house or make a big purchase.” – Darren Bennett


When Darren Bennett was offered the position to be an assistant coach of the Boston University women’s basketball team, he was thrilled to be able to move back to Massachusetts with his family. Darren and his wife both grew up here but had previously lived in New York for many years. With the move back to the Greater Boston area, their kids could finally grow up close to family and attend one of the best public school systems in the state.

The Bennett family’s next step was finding and purchasing a new home in Sudbury. They knew they wanted to find a local banking partner to help with their financing needs, and that’s when they turned to Needham Bank. They soon began working with a loan officer who helped them choose the right mortgage product to make their family dream home a reality.

The Bennetts recall how simple the loan process was and appreciated the guidance they were given from the Needham Bank team. After understanding all of the financing options available, they were coached on the best mortgage for their needs, rather than the easiest option for the bank. This type of altruistic service still resonates with them today.

More recently, we helped the Bennett family refinance their mortgage to take advantage of the drop in interest rates. All in all, they find that banking is easy with Needham Bank—making the Bennett’s relationship with us a real slam dunk.
