Team Member Testimonials

October 2013

I started work at Cornerstone in March of 2013 and have felt so very blessed to work for a company that truly cares about its employees and their families.  And the employees truly care about the company as well as each other. Thanks again for the privilege of being part of the Cornerstone family.

Hard to believe that 10 years have flown by. It has been a pleasure to work with you both. We have always appreciated the opportunity that you provided us to develop our business together. This is truly a special place to work and consider it our work home. The real bonus is the depth of friendship that has also grown over these 10 years.

I wanted to send a quick email and thank you for allowing me some time to just pick your brain! But, more importantly, thank you once again for your highly regarded recommendation to join the Cornerstone family. I had the opportunity to attend a dinner with Marc Laird on Friday night, and I am overwhelmed with how approachable he is. Geez, even the fact that he finds the Todd Duncan events worth his time for participation speaks volumes about him as a leader!

It’s late in the day, but just a quick thanks for all that you do for Cornerstone and me!  I enjoy working for the two of you and the Cornerstone family.  It continues to be the right decision I made 9 years ago.  It’s been fun to be a part of the tremendous growth of Cornerstone and to be a part of the strategic decisions to shape and mold the Company.  I look forward to 2014 and our continuing successes.

Once again, I find myself humbled by your generosity and continued efforts to afford all of us employees such tangible representations of what it feels like to work for at a company that “respects and cares for [its] people.” Thank you for every example you both set in giving us such a high standard to emulate.

- Jackie Ratliff, Processor

It is an honor to continue working here J. Cornerstone is a blessing to our family.
- Tara Zellner, Administrative Assistant

Just wanted you to know—as if you are nor reminded enough—that I think these FUN DAY drawings, recognizing “Appreciation of Service,” are a tremendous loyal support for all CHL Employees.  It definitely puts a smile on my face knowing our leader and management appreciates those that provide for our company.  I cannot recall in all my years [with other companies] that someone at top stopped and recognized those that have tenure with our company, especially those that do not originate mortgages.  It speaks volumes when we stop and listen to CHL Employees working as opposed to hearing them work.  
- Bo Smith, Loan Manager /Branch Manager

I love working for Cornerstone. Thank you for the opportunity to make a difference in people lives.
- Leticia Radulovich, Loan Officer

I am grateful to be part of the Cornerstone family!
- Molly Trice, Senior Loan Officer
