Team Member Testimonials

January 2019

I feel deeply blessed to have been part of the CHL family for the past 5 years and am looking forward to the years to come.
Suzanne Kieffer, Senior Loan Officer

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the donation received from the Cornerstone Cares Fund to assist me during my illness. Most importantly, I am so thankful for the prayers from my Cornerstone Team Members. I am on the mend and so very grateful to work for Cornerstone.
Kathleen Kelly, Senior Loan Processor

Thanks for leading the company and always seeking to put us in a position to succeed!
Andy Goss, Secondary Marketing

Thank you for making me feel welcomed when I transitioned two years ago from another mortgage company. I had been there for six years and was apprehensive about the change, but Cornerstone made the transition very easy and provided a lot of support and training in the process. Thank you for touching base with our Priority Team in Bothell, Washington, this week! It was great to hear directly from you and the parent company. Feeling grateful and inspired. Excited for year number two and discovering opportunities to contribute in bigger and more meaningful ways.
Sarah Pickering, Production Associate

I love being a part of this amazing team and organization!
Jill Fortner, Loan Officer

John Thorn, Regional Manager

Wow, Marc! There are so many beautiful and fantastic visions and examples that you shared here in your video. All I can say is that I am honored and extremely grateful to be a part of the Cornerstone family where my core values can be expressed unilaterally in every aspect and avenue of my life. I knew right away when I read our Mission Statement about using our “God-given talents” that I had found my HOME. I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for us all and the Priority brand as we go out into the world with only two directives: to be of maximum service to all God’s kids and to spread love.

Michele Smith, Senior Mortgage Banker

Seth Fritz, Recruiter

I’m very happy to be here with CHL.
Olivia Pearce, Underwriting Helpdesk Associate

I know both of you as very compassionate business executives who care deeply for the CHL team members. This year I have been privileged to glimpse the compassionate side of CHL even more plainly I am especially proud of CHL Cares! What company keeps its team member on the payroll when that individual can no longer work due to a difficult illness, especially when company revenues are down? CHL does! I know that type of decision came from both of you and other key individuals. That type of support allowed a wife to care for her desperately ill husband. She will never forget that kindness. And this caring attitude has filtered down to the next generation when a younger supervisor immediately stepped up to start a “Go Fund Me” effort for one of her team members in critical need. These are just two examples of the quiet compassion and substantial help our company demonstrates. I am so glad I can still be a part of the team at CHL.
Nancy Newhard-Belcher, Loan Officer

I feel truly blessed to be working here at Cornerstone!
Terri Blue, Senior Underwriter

I wanted to thank you for the Living Forward book. I cannot begin to tell you how refreshing it is to be a part of a team/company and feel valued. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this team. I look forward to what we can do here in Colorado.
Jeff McAlister, Sales Manager

It’s been a great 6 years with our company, and I hope for many more. I sure appreciate your role and all that you’ve done as our CEO.
Tiffany Inman, Mortgage loan Advisor
