Team Member Testimonials

January 2017

I am very proud to work for Cornerstone. It is wonderful to know that we are valued. Looking forward to another great year!
-Jackie Riley, Processor

I am one of the newest and luckiest members of the Cornerstone family. Your video that discusses Cornerstone’s mission and culture was very inspiring, and I couldn’t be happier to be joining a team that puts so much emphasis on customer satisfaction and employee morale. I had been trying to join Cornerstone for almost 2 ½ years, but the timing was always just a little off. Still, I never gave up, always knowing that I was meant to be here. Finally, my dream came true this past December, and I couldn’t be more grateful that Michelle Gonzalez—and ultimately you—has granted me this opportunity. Every day I walk these halls and can’t help but smile because I know that I will be great here. Once again, thank you for your message, the opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you one day.
-Eric Delgado, Loan Officer

What an extraordinary example of your personal values and values that continues to waterfall down through the Cornerstone Family! Every communication, email, action, interaction, etc. simply reinforces why I chose and continue to choose to work with such amazing folks at such an amazing place. Thank you for your leadership.
-Michael Landis, Mortgage Branch Manager

We are all so proud and grateful to be part of this world-class organization. We are thankful we have such a generous leader and forward-thinking leadership team. We are excited to help more families obtain the dream of homeownership in 2017.
-Kerrin Reichen, Mortgage Branch Manager

The word blessing isn’t enough for what Cornerstone means to me. It’s a blessing to have found Cornerstone at an early age, but almost two years later, it’s truly an honor to be a part of this. I hope to call Cornerstone my home for many years to come.
-Justin Spragins, Production Associate

It was so fun to sit in my office and listen to the buzz as people read their email the day after Christmas. I heard everything from deep breaths of relief to shouts of pure joy! As people arrived, the fun continued: “Open your email! You have an email from Marc Laird.” Then, “Wow!”, “Amazing!”, and “I can’t believe this!” One newer employee shouted, “I love this job!” For me, this confirmed that we can buy tickets for a beach vacation. I am thrilled! Thank you so much for your sincere emails, your consideration, and your generosity. I am echoing the sentiments of others as I say to you, “I love my job!” Thank you, thank you.

- Wanda Hager, Loan Officer

I just wanted to send a quick note to sing the praises of one employee Pat Fowler. I have to say that she is the embodiment of the CHL Mission, Vision and Convictions, as published, and has been a valuable tool for me as I have progressed through the learning process of underwriting for CHL and my continued development of the tools necessary to underwrite our various Bond Loans and FHA loans, and I’m certain she will continue to be an asset as I delve into the VA process.
She has made herself readily available and provided valuable direction without rebuke despite what, I’m sure, has been some impact to her production, and I can’t say it with any greater conviction how thankful I am and blessed to have her as my queue mate. She has made a positive difference to me, and is not only an asset to me, our queue and team, but, most certainly, to CHL. She deserves to be duly recognized for her steadfast dedication to the company.

-Todd Sanguras, Recruiter

-Cecil George, Senior Loan Officer

Back in May of this year when I received my anniversary card from you and Judy, I looked up from my desk and saw the items that are a direct reflection of loving my job as much as I do. I intended to take a couple of pictures and send off a quick note of appreciation. As I was writing, I thought, “You know, he will think it’s silly.” I wish I had sent that note, Marc. This dedicated employee from Vancouver, WA, THANKS YOU and am truly grateful every morning when I walk in to my office with my cup of coffee and log in ready to see what the day has in store for me as part of that Cornerstone family. I look forward to many more anniversaries and birthdays .

I am thankful every day to work for such a wonderful company that has passionate and professional employees and leadership. Working for this company has been such a blessing for me and my husband this year. I know you are a busy person, but I would like you to know how Cornerstone has made a positive difference in my life in 2016:

My husband and I purchased our home through the employee loan program at Cornerstone.
My job provided income to pay our bills when my husband was laid off.
My job provided health insurance that covered my husband’s surgery.
Working with Cornerstone employees restored my trust and faith in co-workers that I had lost while working as a state regulator.

Working for Cornerstone has allowed me to grow as a professional and contribute my thoughts and knowledge to various projects. I am so thankful to be here and hope I have made a positive difference in the lives of those I work with and that I will continue to do so.
