Team Member Testimonials

March 2020

Ten years ago my wife and I decided to merge our small company with Cornerstone. We brought over 16 employees at the time and have managed to keep our employees for the past 10 years (As you know, that is a tough task in a market where loan officers are being solicited almost daily). My wife and I believe the reason for our continued success has been the convictions of the people we surround ourselves with, aka “YOU.” Thank you both for creating a positive work environment with people that truly want to help our team succeed.
David Stephenson, Mortgage Branch Manager | Loan Officer

I wanted to reach out and say a big THANK YOU! For your leadership from the top and so kindly sharing that with all the other leaders that work with you so that they can be successful in leading the rest of us. I have said over and over to anyone that will listen how proud I am to work with Cornerstone.
