Caring for each client as if they are her only client is a trademark of Top Producing Loan Officer Shanna Keller of Cornerstone Home Lending.

Experience and creativity enable Shanna to always do her best to find the appropriate loan program for each client. “My philosophy is simple – whether your interest is in buying or refinancing, I know that the most important transaction is yours,” she says.

Having worked in the Real Estate, title and mortgage industries, Shanna believes in going the extra step to find the answer and provide the best customer service. Shanna loves her job – especially being able to listen to her clients’ hopes, dreams and goals and then doing what is necessary to help them achieve those goals. Whether her client is buying a home for the first time, financing a new home or refinancing an existing home, Shanna knows what must be done to provide her clients the best loan program possible. She knows that once clients see how hard she works for them, they will be her “customers for life.“
