Benchmark Appoints James Wesseldyk as Vice President of Communications to Bolster Investor Relations

Benchmark, a West Michigan-based real estate investment company, has appointed James Wesseldyk as Vice President of Communications, the company announced today. The move underscores Benchmark’s commitment to expanding its investor communications and capital formation initiatives as it seeks to grow its investor base and raise awareness about passive private real estate investment opportunities.

Wesseldyk brings a unique blend of experience in real estate investing, mortgage origination, and residential construction to the role, offering firsthand industry knowledge that Benchmark leadership believes will strengthen the company’s communication with current and prospective investors. “James brings something most communications hires don’t have: firsthand knowledge and experience in the field,” said Matthew Fox, Chief Executive Officer of Benchmark Companies. “He’s been on job sites, he’s written mortgages, he’s invested his own capital, and he understands what it takes to create value in this asset class. That perspective matters when communicating with investors.”

Benchmark’s continued investment in communications comes as the company focuses on strengthening investor engagement and supporting future growth initiatives tied to passive real estate investment and capital raising activities. The company is currently conducting a Regulation A+ capital raise of up to $50 million, with a minimum investment of $1,000. The offering is open to both accredited and non-accredited investors, making it accessible to a broader range of individuals seeking to diversify their portfolios through real estate.

“This hire reflects where Benchmark is headed,” said Todd Harding, Chief Financial Officer of Benchmark. “We’re continuing to grow our investor relationships, and we want our communications to reflect the same rigor, clarity, and professionalism we bring to our investment strategy.”

Before joining Benchmark, Wesseldyk spent several years as a loan originator, investing in real estate and building residential homes throughout the Grand Rapids area. His hands-on experience is expected to lend credibility and depth to Benchmark’s outreach efforts as the company navigates a period of expansion.

Benchmark specializes in real estate investment strategies designed to create long-term value and current income through disciplined acquisition, development, and asset management. The company provides qualified investors access to professionally managed real estate opportunities, with a focus on the West Michigan market.

The appointment of Wesseldyk signals Benchmark’s intention to deepen its engagement with investors and enhance transparency as it seeks to scale its capital formation efforts. With the Regulation A+ offering underway, the company is positioning itself to attract a wider pool of investors, including non-accredited individuals, while leveraging Wesseldyk’s industry insights to craft more resonant messaging.
