Thank you for this magnificent gesture on your part. You didn’t have to do this for your employees and that makes it even a more generous gesture. It is greatly and highly appreciated.

Thank you for everything you do for this company, your employees, and for me. That can’t be said often enough or enough times.

Dave Balsz, Mortgage Branch Manager

From Day One when you hired me, you have always provided my family and me a safe harbor for employment at CHL, affording us, within reason, whatever tools or provisions [we] needed to make our workplace more productive. It’s so evident that when people see your skill, hear your story, and see it in action, they realize and tell others that you can solve problems. CHL, along with your guidance, has assisted me in growing in this industry and being patient when times are tough. We need more storytellers because CHL has a great story for those to hear.
