Lexine C. James, Senior Executive Services Representative, Loan Servicing
As I onboarded and read what Marc Laird said in our Mission Statement about culture, I felt the integrity behind his words: it felt genuine. Intuitively I knew there was something very different about this company. When I started interacting with the Cornerstone staff, I knew it was a Mission Statement that was lived, not just professed, and had real substance behind it. How enlightening to see integrity of actions on display at the executive levels of an organization this size! No wonder so many people I’ve interacted with here have been with Cornerstone for so many years. Too often this kind of pure goodness and “corporate purity” goes unmentioned or without notice,so I couldn’t let my feelings go unrecognized.
Steve Scheiern, Branch Manager II
I have only been here at CHL for about a month, and this company has been BEYOND impressive!

It has been a wonderful 14 years for me. I am truly grateful for the opportunities that I’ve had here, for I have a deep respect and admiration for this company, its mission and vision,and your leadership.
I never would have thought when I took that job as a receptionist for Valerie Gothard’s West Houston branch at the end of the housing crisis that it would turn into the most important career choice I ever made. It is funny sometimes how life works out.

How lovely to hear from you! Cornerstone truly is such a unique company, and I am so excited to be a part of the team.

I can tell you that coming to Cornerstone 10 years ago was the best decision I ever made, and it’s still true today. Brian was a whopping 31 years old, and I was about 25 years older than he when he asked me to join Cornerstone. I was, and am still, the oldest person in the office. It has been so much fun seeing him and the rest of the staff grow up and turn into the leaders they are today. I have had a great time and I am proud to tell folks I work here.
Paul Tyler, Senior Mortgage Advisor
I had just joined the company about 45 days before Hurricane Harvey happened. When I heard of the number of people in the SA office who put their lives on hold (but not mortgage life!) to pack up trucks with supplies and tools, it melted my heart. That action—now five years ago—100% solidified that I had made the best choice in my career to join the CHL family. I've told this story to so many friends over the last 5 years, in and out of the business, illustrating the selflessness of my coworkers. I am humbled by the nature of this work family constantly and thank you for reminding us of the core values that keep us so strong!
Anna De La Cruz, Loan Officer

Ionel Chila, Head of IT Security and Compliance
As I celebrate my 34-year anniversary, I am full of pride about what Cornerstone has accomplished under your leadership.

All these things really exemplify how important each team member is to the company and its success.
I look forward to working with you and adding value to this wonderful company!

Trae Cloyd, Ring Central Administrator
Thank you for the warm welcome. I interviewed with several companies, and, hands down, it was the people at Cornerstone/Priority that made the decision for me. I have previously served 21 years in the US Air Force. The AF core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do, fall right in line with the values at Cornerstone. I don’t know if that was intentional, but it seems prophetic.
Looking forward to becoming a valued member of the Cornerstone/Priority Team.
Vince Gregory, Loan Officer
Almost 10 years in, and I’m still blown away by the care Cornerstone takes with its team members. I’m proud to be part of such a great organization.
Leslie Meech, Loan Officer
This job has truly been a Godsend! I was at one of the lowest points in my life, trying to pick up the pieces, praying for God to help me and show me a sign. The sign came in the form of a text from a friend who works here, followed by a phone call from one of the company’s recruiters. This job helped to save my life, for it gave me the ability to make major changes and move forward! I’m truly blessed and grateful to be working for such a wonderful company. It's been a great ride, and I think I’ll stay in the saddle for a while longer!
Maria Constantino, Senior Loan Officer

I shouldn’t be surprised (and I’m not since this is de rigueur for this company), but you still deserve the thanks and appreciation of all of us. Your jobs are not easy ones, even in “normal” times—a phenomenon which I haven’t seen in many years—but each year seems to bring new challenges. Thank you for the love and support you show every day.
Katrina Hightower, Fair Lending Officer

Beth Schlagel, Vendor Management Specialist
I loved reading the story of how CHL came to be! Cornerstone is truly impressive! Throughout the interview process I kept commenting to my friends and family how genuinely nice everyone seemed to be.

Sarah Davis, Transaction Coordinator
I am so blessed and proud to be a part of the Cornerstone team.
Casey Von Seggern, Loan Success Coordinator
I feel like I should be the one thanking you all. 10 years and 6 months ago, I recommended to my company’s founder and CEO at the time that we shut down our mortgage company. That was a scary time in the world of mortgage banking, and I did not know what my future held. If Cornerstone had not created such an amazing company and division and allowed me to join this organization, I believe that my life would be much different right now. I am a lucky and blessed guy.

This is truly the best company I have ever worked for because everyone here actually acts like a family. Anytime someone asks me if I like my new job, I say that I absolutely love it, if not for this one reason alone! Most companies/businesses say that they have a family-structure environment; however, most of the time, it turns out not to be the case: at Cornerstone it is true! I am very grateful for the opportunity to work here. Thank you again for all that you and executive management do for our “family.”

Cathy Larsen, Senior Loan Officer
I was really moved by the Cornerstone story and your pledge to do the right thing even if it means losing money. I have come from big-box firms that did not adhere to this philosophy and did not bat an eyelash about meeting closing dates either. I do not think I have ever worked for a company like this, and I am ecstatic that I chose to make Cornerstone my long-term landing place in the mortgage industry. I have been pleasantly surprised every day since starting here, and I think the Mission and Vision are fantastic!
Jake Hedke, Production Partner / Loan Officer

Will Larson, Director of Support Services
I must admit this day has all the feels. I could not be prouder of my work family. To look back on 30 years is surreal. I will be forever thankful for not only the growth of Cornerstone but also the opportunity of growth bestowed upon me. I assure you such is never taken for granted. I have over the years called Marc a wizard as his ability to forecast and prep us for what CHL would need well into the future is a trait has given me such assurance. Then, to add the “A” Team – Andrina and Adam—is a combination that continues to move CHL forward, making it proof positive to me that CHL is limitless.
Thank you all for believing in me!
Tammy Pullen, Senior Vice President l National Underwriting Manager
Thank you so much for creating a workplace where I could grow professionally as well as personally. I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into making Cornerstone a great place to work, allowing me to be a part of the Cornerstone family.

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.

Kelli Chambers, Web Content Administrator
I just wanted to let you know, I had the BEST experience with the Team Member staff who worked through my personal refinance. Even during high volume months, the staff was very responsive, and my refinance was done timely and efficiently with no hiccups. They all were so helpful: I cannot say enough about how great they are to guide a borrower through the process. My loan funded today and will be saving us 2.125% on our interest rate. The Team was so thorough, and the messages that get sent every time the loan moves to the next step were awesome. I worked with Mimi, Kerri and Jammie throughout the process, and no doubt there are others, so kudos to them all. I enjoy carrying Cornerstone pom-poms all the time and certainly even more now that I have had the opportunity to experience our process firsthand.

I just want to take a moment to say, “Thanks” for the leadership you have all exhibited from the onset of Covid-related issues back in March. You made the transition to remote work seamless and stress-free. You took the burden off team members when you simply said, “Go home” and “We can do this.” That helped my team more than I can express. I have friends that work for companies large and small in many industries, and I can say that none of them have had the top down support we’ve been shown. About every week they are shrugging their shoulders, not knowing what’s next, feeling pressured to return to the office full time, and/or unable to make plans for their dependents in advance. I want you to know that your decisions, guidance and communication are so appreciated.

I watched your short YouTube presentation about the company and felt your sincerity being conveyed through your message. The people with whom I’ve come into contact here have been nothing but kind, genuine and very supportive. I am looking forward to growing with Cornerstone, and I am honored to be here. Thank you for letting me be a part of something so magical.

Wow, Marc! There are so many beautiful and fantastic visions and examples that you shared here in your video.

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

After being in the business for 30+ years, I feel like a rookie as I’m so excited about what lies ahead for me and my family. I just wanted to say Thank You for the culture you and Judy have created which enables the best to be their very best! I feel I’ve found my calling, and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to “spread my wings” and fly!
John Kay, Senior Mortgage Advisor

I came to this company 20 years ago and still consider how very lucky I was to get that call to come work for Cornerstone. You did not know when you started this company where it would go, but you had a vision and you went with it, and many of us here today are grateful you did. I have many blessings to be thankful for, and one of them is you. I appreciate your vision, your drive, and, most of all, your being the CEO of a company that takes care of its employees.
Chris Harden, Receptionist
You and I don’t know each other, but I appreciate YOU. I can tell that you are genuinely moved by the human spirit, doing good by others, and a strong faith (as am I). You motivate many, including me.
This business is a unique one, and it comes with challenging days. Knowing you are sailing the “mortgage ship” for us gives me the daily confidence I need to push forward to be my best and offer my best.
We are a newer branch, and it will take some time to grow into my expectations, but because of you (and the company’s culture), I come in every day with a HUGE desire to meet and exceed your expectations of us! Thank you for being you!
Brian Showers, Mortgage Branch Manager | Mortgage Loan Officer

I just wanted to say how impressed I am with Cornerstone. I joined with you all last fall, and I have to say it is far and away the best experience I have had with an employer to date. The “corporate culture” here does not feel very corporate at all. I hope to be here a long time and really appreciate not feeling like just another number. You can really tell people here care from the top to the bottom of the totem pole. It definitely makes a difference.
Brandon Levers, Production Associate
I wanted to thank you for providing the Ninja Selling program to us. I went through the first installation that we had about 4 years ago and then again last fall for the program that was more specific to the mortgage world, and the program has been great. I’ve had a chance to be part of two of the Accountability groups that Rebecca Lorenz leads, and learning what the other LO’s are doing, or struggling with, has been a great learning tool, too. I’ve read way too many business-related books over the years, and the Ninja Selling book is now my go-to book and program to follow. I look forward to what it will do for me in the future as I use the program more and more.
Richard Fuller, Mortgage Loan Originator
Cornerstone’s Mission Statement speaks volumes about you, Judy and the fact that I made the right decision to align myself not only with an outstanding company but also outstanding people. It’s always an unnerving decision to make a change, especially when you’re truly not looking to make a change. Your candor and vision for what you wanted, and have ultimately created, is truly something unique and special in this industry. I’m proud to be associated with this company and look forward to the challenges that lie ahead.

From top to bottom, people truly and deeply care about one another in a way I’ve never seen or experienced before. The way everyone honors our culture and our people is a constant source of inspiration and joy in my life.

Before I worked here, I worked for a correspondent lender in Louisiana where Cornerstone was one of our clients. The loans that were sent from Cornerstone were almost always perfect or nearly perfect, and I always wondered [how] they could do it when not that many other lenders could. Upon moving to Houston, I sought out Cornerstone for employment and was graciously hired by Cindy, whom I had called (as she was always my main and favorite contact). Now that I am a part of this great company, I can see exactly why the loans were the best. It’s the level of pride in the work and [comes from] always striving to be better that really makes us shine. I so value and love my job and am now actively taking a part in helping which feels amazing! I’m 100% on board with diving into this newest setback in the industry to overcome and remain on top. I have been in this business since 1991, and I’m proud to be a part of the Cornerstone family! Please know I will do all I can to help make Cornerstone the best!

Just shows me that one of the best decisions I have made was to join this amazing team. I am looking forward to doing my part to help move us upward and onward. The future I have planned for myself with Cornerstone is going to be very exciting. I am happy to be on the team that gets to lead us through this next phase of our journey.

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.

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.

Shanna Brenner, Processor
Every day I realize what a blessing this company truly is!
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.

Everett H. Elstak, Mortgage Branch Manager l 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.

Thanks for creating, growing and leading a company that we all are very proud to be a part of!

First, thank you to everyone for their heroic efforts and hard work keeping this company running smoothly. I am amazed at what we have been able accomplish in the face of a disaster like Hurricane Harvey. So many of you have been putting in long hours and late nights, selflessly supporting others both at work and home. I am thankful for everyone! I also want you to know that the Cornerstone Cares fund is available for anyone who was flooded out or has any financial hardship from Harvey. We have been able to help a few of you already and it is our privilege to do so. There is a natural tendency to think that you are taking from others by receiving help, but the fund has enough to help anyone who needs it because of the constant generosity of all 1700 of our coworkers (team). And if necessary, Marc and Judy are committed to covering any needs if the fund runs low. So please do not worry about that. This is more than a company: it is a family. And you are all an important part of it.
Mark Belanger, CIO
I am so happy to be at Cornerstone!
Susan Yockey, Loan Officer
I am very impressed with the members of our Cornerstone family. Over the years, I have been blessed to work with some of the best companies in the world, and I know that I am truly blessed, once again, to be a member of such an exceptional family we have with Cornerstone Home Lending.

Aileen Welty, Loan Analyst
I have been glued to the TV watching Hurricane Harvey unfold the last couple of days in disbelief, remembering Tropical Storm Allison when it hit Galveston and the flooding from that, and I know this is so much worse. I realize it probably isn't much but I do have extra space at my house for anyone who may be displaced and if they want to work from my office and stay at my home versus a shelter please let me know. I open my home and office with open arms for any of my Cornerstone family! I almost have the barn "guest quarters" ready which has a bed, bathroom and kitchenette area, so I can make that work as well and give them some privacy.
Janelle Carver, Loan Officer l Mortgage Branch Manager
I felt like I needed to tell you about Derek Bolls. Derek is an incredibly humble man, and he would never tell you about this, but this morning he was checking on one of my direct reports. When I told him she was trapped in her home, had water and could not get out, he asked where she was, and when he found out she was not too far from his neighborhood, he drove over, picked her up as well as her daughter and 2-year-old grandson, and took them to safety. Just felt like you should know what kind of team members you have!
Jackie Witter, Quality Control Manager
You all have such an incredible company. We are humbled and honored to be able to be your account team.

I am so glad there is a Cornerstone Cares Fund that we as CHL team members can contribute to so we can collectively help out fellow team members during a time of personal crisis.
I’ve only been with the company for a very short time, but I have loved every minute. I’m a sales recruiter, and in my short tenure I have found that Cornerstone is actually delivering. I greatly appreciate the nature of our recruiting strategy): don’t get in such a hurry to get a new hire that could sacrifice the culture of the company for. We’re looking for the best, and I know that takes some time. I’m glad to know that Cornerstone understands.
Michael Puyear, Recruiter

My dreams have more than come true!

Jennifer David, Underwriter
I am so blessed to be a part of such an incredible company!
Kimberly Renz, Underwriter
Some of you already know that David Couch (Loan Officer) and his two brothers-in-law bought a 5-ton truck and headed from San Antonio to Houston a few days ago to help and rescue those in need after Hurricane Harvey. I am personally so proud of David as he has set an example that we all should strive to follow! He didn't hesitate, and instead he jumped in that truck and truly went to help; he rolled up his sleeves and went to work! David, THANK YOU for being such a great human! Proud of you!

-Gina Jackson, Senior Vice President l Loan Officer
Thank you for having the vision and a defined mission Marc! I am honored to serve our clients and our Team Members every single day!
-Sam Bursch, Senior Loan Officer
Cornerstone is by far the best mortgage company I have worked for. It has a VERY wide range of loan programs with numerous investors-- and they are still adding more. The culture is unheard of-- they have a family/team dynamic. You aren't just an employee: you are a team member, and that stems directly from the top. The compensation is excellent and benefits are competitive. The best thing to point out is that closing dates are strictly enforced. If a loan needs to close on time, it gets done no matter how many resources and different members, from processing to the credit risk VP, it takes: they will all jump in, if needed. Marketing is quick, and they have a lot of different tools for custom marketing. Ops focuses to ensure that we are out creating, developing, and growing relationships with our business partners so we are not sitting behind a desk working loans.
-Nick Bautista, Senior Loan Officer
Thank you so much for being thoughtful and for running such a phenomenal company. It has been my absolute pleasure to call Cornerstone home – it is truly the best out there!
-Tara Zellner, Senior Loan Officer
Thanks for the Vision video. Really great stuff. As an originator, it is great to be part of something where we are so focused on customer satisfaction and on-time closings. I can really see by this video, and the one last week about us all being team members that Cornerstone is truly a family not just a company I have joined. Thanks again for the welcome, and I look forward to contributing to the success or our team.

Thank you for the opportunity to work with such an amazing company. I am still wowed every day by the support I receive and the feeling of working with a team. So many mortgage companies have no idea how to solve the Red Team /Blue Team environment which, in my opinion, destroys productivity and sends loan officers running out of the door.

Dana Meloneck, Regulatory Compliance
I want to share a recent conversation from a title closer at the closing table who, in front of everyone, said that she loved Cornerstone. Of the three closings she had had that day, the one with Cornerstone was the only closing where the funds were there. She said she never worries about our money showing up. She said it makes a huge impression on everyone sitting at the table. I’m sending this email as I wanted to share these wins with all of our closers. Often you do not get this feedback, and you may not be aware of what a difference you make for our loan officers when they are sitting at the closing table or meeting with industry partners. I wanted to share with you what an impact you make for Cornerstone!
Connie Begger, Colorado Loan Operations
I appreciate that you take the time to acknowledge each employee in a special way.

David Hilburn, Professional Mortgage Banker
Thank you so much for reaching out once again. I try to keep my powder dry and fly below the radar, but this is now three times your reaching out has impressed upon me the value in the leadership that I partnered with. This past Sunday after our service I was quoting to a friend Cornerstone’s Mission Statement: “I exist to use and improve upon my God-given talents to make a positive difference to the lives of my customers.” I was further able to explain our Mission as a company and that it is directly from my leaders. In Wyoming this language isn’t too foreign, but we are still able to recognize the depth of conviction when a statement like this is voiced, especially in the current national climate. I, for one, am grateful, blessed, and humbled to be branded with and through Cornerstone. I have had a vision for years about the legacy I can leave in my two states (Wyoming and Montana), and I know in my core this IS the home for me to launch from. I thank you again for the legacy and reputation that I am proud to be partnered with.
Lana Kitto, Branch Manger
Thank you for rescuing me from my former employer. I love working here!
Wil Harmsen, Loan Officer

I have personally found the culture, support, and energy of Cornerstone to be an absolutely refreshing change from other companies I have encountered in my past. It is clear to see that your leadership and guidance over the years has built an organization that is living every bit of its mission and vision. I am excited to be a part of such an amazing team, and I feel blessed to be a part of the Cornerstone Family.
Jennifer Martin, Talent Engagement Manager
I appreciate your long-term dedication and continual commitment to the growth and longevity of Cornerstone! I cannot say enough about the vision you have achieved with this company, truly a world- class entity.
William R. Burnett, Mortgage Processor

I also want to thank Melvin, Chuck, Stu, Mike, as well as Rebecca, Sabrina, Noel, Sherri, Connie, the team at production support, IT, and, last but not least, my great processor Stephanie!
Jewel Casablanca, Senior Mortgage Consultant

Daniel Harkin, Loan Officer
This will be my last year in the mortgage business. After 50 plus years of doing all aspects of mortgage lending, it is time for me to retire. I have enjoyed the time I have been with Cornerstone.

Amy Smith, Senior Loan Closer
It’s an honor to work with such a great company!
Kyle McCormick, Loan Officer
I have received the two most incredible gifts from you in the last week and want to say, “Thank You.” Of course, last week we were sent the book Living Forward (my son is reading now; I’m next). And then today I received a birthday card and umbrella. I’m sure you are very busy and probably have an incredible team that takes care of these things but, I just want you to know how much it means to work for a company that treats people like people not employee numbers. I feel Cornerstone has the ‘family feel’ I need in my work environment. And for that, I say, “Thank you!”

Rebecca Packer, Underwriter
What an amazing company we work for! Not only do I get an email offering this gift (Living Forward book), but I had instant emails from a few employees saying we should do a book club! Yes, please!
Rebecca Lorenz, Business Development
I am honored and blessed to be part of Cornerstone. Thank you.
Donald R Ziegler, Senior Residential Mortgage Lender
I just wanted to acknowledge how much your message for my anniversary meant. I appreciate your taking the time personally to call me. Those small things are what continue to make this company great!

I appreciate the opportunity to be part of the Cornerstone family!
Brad Dusek, Senior Residential Mortgage Banker
I am very happy to be here.
Lisa Holland, Associate Counsel
I really enjoyed the video and the Cornerstone culture that has been extended to me thus far. I look forward to contributing to that culture as much as possible, now and into the future. The team that surrounds you and me are regarded as family in my book. I am certain these relationships that are being built will not only prosper with giving and visions of success, but also help so many additional lives in the process of doing what we do. I would like to extend a personal thank you to you and the company for making me feel right at home with my new family.
Scott Martin, Loan Officer
I would like to personally thank you for giving the company employees Good Friday off. By having this day off, I am able to fully participate in my churches events that are held for Good Friday, and I have grown personally in my faith because of this opportunity. I just wanted you to know how much it truly means to me and my family. This is an awesome company, and I feel blessed every day when I come to work among some fabulous individuals.

Never in my life have I experienced such an accident as we did a week ago Monday, never in my life did I think a car accident would put me in a hospital for five days, and never in my life did I think we would be exposed to the generosity that you have shown us. Again, all I can offer at this point is a very sincere thank you and please express our gratitude to the Cornerstone Cares committee, who bestowed this blessing upon us. I am soon very grateful to you ALL for: 1 - Being AMAZING, 2 - Making this [transition to Cornerstone] happen, 3 - Helping us get off the ground so quickly, 4 - Making us feel welcome and, 5 - Being our new FAMILY! You are all very special…and have built something REMARKABLE! I hope you can go home feeling like the super stars you are tonight! Much love from your BIGGEST fans!
Lori Richardson, Loan Officer
I wanted to take a moment to say “Thank you” for the opportunity to work with Cornerstone over the past three years. The culture that you created and nurtured has made Cornerstone by far the best company I have ever worked for. As you know, I left recently to accept a position as manager at another organization. It wasn’t that I was unhappy, only that I could not pass up this opportunity for growth. It was the confidence I gained being a part of Cornerstone that prepared me for moving into this leadership role. I will always think fondly of the family here at Cornerstone.
Jessica Yarborough, former employee
It’s an honor to work here: I love this company and the people that run it . . . Awesome. Thank you again for the opportunity to be an employee at such a wonderful place!

I really love working for Cornerstone, and I love being a part of Region 12. We have really grown as a Region over these last 6 years!
Veronica (Roni) White, Region 12 Closing Team Lead
I can honestly say that the people in this Company are the best group I have ever worked with.
Chris Childers, Condo Intake Coordinator
I’m happy to be part of a company with such a strong, service-driven, value-based, and growth-minded vision: it is what attracted to me to Cornerstone. I’m thrilled to be part of the team!
Christine Gippe, Closer
Thanks, Marc, for having such a great company to work for! You do a great job for all of us.
Tom Beck, Senior Residential Mortgage Lender
I have to say, this has been a very short 5 years. Time flies when you’re having fun. The company has been very comforting to me after my husband had his stroke almost 4 years ago and all of the doctor visits since then. It really helps when you know you have a family like ours at Cornerstone. Being a full time employee and full time caregiver can get a little stressful at times but my families here have been very supportive.
JW
Thankful to be here!
Nancy Moreland, Mortgage Branch Manager
I enjoy working for Cornerstone Home Lending. I have been out of the country for the past month visiting my daughter in Australia; consequently, I am late thanking you for your continual support of the Cornerstone family.
Dave Mosnik, Loan Officer
It’s been an incredible two years. I look forward to many more!
Scott Grau, Production Associate
I couldn’t help but share this with you this wonderful morning, after having the privilege of hearing Les Brown speak at our church yesterday. He is an amazing motivational speaker. He shared with us this weekend that to reach our BEST, we need to let go and surround ourselves with OQP (Only Quality People). It takes 17 positives to drown out and replace one negative or limiting belief you have been fed. He challenged us to consider these questions: Are you that OQP for those in your sphere? Are you seeing and speaking the BEST in them? If you aren’t or can’t, then maybe you need to let go and let someone into their space that will. He encouraged us to go be amazing and let someone else know THEY are too. We have amazing teams, here at Cornerstone, and together we are building greatness that nothing or no one can bring down or steal our joy. Keep up the great work and leadership.
Tiffany Bruner, Processor

It's been a really incredible week as I've never experienced anything like this flood before, but all I lost was my car as a result of it, so I consider myself very lucky! Thank you for your kindness. It was very impressive the way Jeff made a plan and helped me get out of there so quickly.

My best year ever—in 10 years of being in the business—working for a bank was $15 million, of which 50% was refinances. My first full year with Cornerstone was $25 million at 95% purchase. This year I will close $40-50 million, 95% purchase. Thank you for building such an awesome company. Looking forward to top producer trip this year, and from there growing to the $100 million a year club.
Chris Davis, Loan Officer
It never ceases to amaze me how special you continue to make us all feel. I appreciate so much everything that Cornerstone represents, and I’m so happy to be a part of such a dynamic company! I can’t believe it’s already been 5 years. How time flies when you’re with the very best!
Angie Haag, Senior Loan Officer
I wanted to send a SPECIAL “Thank you” to each and EVERY one of you who have worked SO hard (and continue to) to make our transition to our new Cornerstone family a smooth one! You have gone above and BEYOND, and we are beyond grateful! For years I have heard about the Cornerstone family from Marc, Judy, Andrina, Gene, Jim and others . . . and I will tell you every single thing they have said is 100% TRUE! You guys are committed to excellence, taking care of people, and making them feel at HOME - and it shows in EVERYTHING you do. Thank you for going the extra mile for us during a challenging time: your commitment to honoring God shows every time you extend your heart (and your hands) to us, and we are blessed as a result. Many thanks for making it possible for us to touch lives through you. Please don’t ever forget what a difference you make!

Maddie Barksdale
I’m blessed to be here.
Michele Kehres, Compliance
I had breakfast this morning with an former work colleague from my past, and as I sat there listening to him describe his new company and fellow employees, I said a silent prayer thanking God for each one of you because I was reminded of how unique our culture is at Cornerstone and how, without each of you and your leadership, none of us would have the opportunity to do what we do, much less be able to work in an environment where we are supported and loved. You all are the best leaders in the world.
Tom Lott, National Talent Acquisition Director
Thank you so much. I am very excited for the opportunity to grow with Cornerstone.
Rebecca Stallings, Processing
I really do like the culture here.
Pete Stoughton, Information Technology
I feel extremely blessed to work for this amazing company and only see good things to come.
Brianne Snell, Processor
I receive a lot of thank you notes and emails after closing, but this one really touched my heart (Maybe because it’s been a rough week). “Good morning, Denise - The level of service provided by Cornerstone has actually surpassed my expectations! Thank you for helping us purchase our new home. I appreciate your efforts and, especially, your positive and problem-solving attitude as purchasing a house can be a stressful experience. I will definitely come to you for my future lending needs, and I will not hesitate to strongly recommend you to friends and colleagues. I also want to thank my realtor for recommending Cornerstone. Working with Cornerstone was a very good experience.” This is why I LOVE what I do. I am blessed beyond measure to work for an amazing company that employs amazing people that share the same passion that I do. There are so many caring hearts involved in the process of making a family’s dream of home ownership possible. I am so grateful for each and every one of them. I am especially grateful for you two who made Cornerstone what it is. I can’t tell you how honored that I am to a part of the Cornerstone family. I hope this email makes your day even better, as it has mine.

It is an honor to be a part of the Cornerstone family once again (although I feel like I have always been a part of the family). I still have to pinch myself to remind me that the opportunity I have been afforded is real. So many companies fail to share their successes with their employees, but you two go out of your way to make each and every employee feel special and appreciated. I cannot say enough how much of an honor it is to be back with the family and to represent our mission and vision proudly. Thank you for making this company great.

I have recently joined the Cornerstone Home Lending team in Boulder, Colorado. The transition has been such a positive experience with the management team and the support staff. I have asked myself more than once: “Is this for real?” it has actually been fun to come to work. Cornerstone provides so many tools and support systems to help the loan officers serve our clients at a very high level of professionalism. I am looking forward to having a very successful year (and for many more after that). I so love the story of how you and Judy were led to start Cornerstone. I have actually shared the story with a couple of my real estate agents who totally understand that story. Thank you so much for the opportunity to join Cornerstone, and I hope that I will be a positive addition to the company.

It means a lot to me when I hear from you year after year that we are closing record-breaking numbers on software systems that I have directly designed, overseen the implementation of, deployed, and maintained. This is truly a unique company, as no one, especially in the mortgage industry, has the Enterprise Software Systems Ecosphere that we have built up over the course of a decade. We currently have over 150 software system components we maintain and extend every day to keep the cogs moving in the company, and we are adding new additions every year! It goes without saying that I am truly grateful that our paths have crossed 10 years ago, but it doesn’t hurt to see it in an email every now and again. Here is to another great decade of productivity!
Dwayne Rahman, Principal Software Architect
I am very excited to be back. I am sorry I ever left, even if it was only for one month.

I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for the privilege of working with you at Cornerstone. It occurs to me that Cornerstone is a big family. At the helm are the two partners that founded the company. Both of you have developed great families on a personal level. That is no easy accomplishment in today’s world. NOW you have built a great company using those same family values. You treat your employees “like family.” That attitude has permeated and influenced many of us over the years.
Nancy Newhard-Belcher, Senior Vice President
I just wanted to take a second to thank you for so much that you have given to me: first, the opportunity to work with a company that truly sees the customer as a family and more than just a loan or a profit; second, for taking the time to lead us in such a way with a servant leader approach; and third, (I could go on and on, but I know we are both busy) for this video and reminder!

Thank you, Marc and Judy, for everything that you have done for me the last 25 years!

We have dear friends Amy and Darren C whom we referred to Cornerstone for their mortgage last summer. They were thrilled with the service and loved the Dangora Team. Unfortunately, Darren Cdied of a heart attack recently, only 9 months after moving in, leaving his wife and twelve-year-old daughter here on Earth to do life without him. I sent out a Meal Train link to set up meals and donations for Amy and Kaitlyn. Ashley [our transaction coordinator] volunteered to take a meal. She did not know Amy well—just that she was a client. Ashley is an example of the culture of Cornerstone and why we do business with like-minded, servant-oriented people that are truly an extension of our team. This really touched me that Ashley would take time to make a meal and minister in this way to Amy. Thank you for not only serving our clients we send you at the highest level, but truly doing all you can to make a difference and impact in others’ lives for life, not just during the 30-day transaction period. Ashley, you are APPRECIATED more than you know! Sometimes it's the little things we do that can make a BIG difference! Bless you!
Troy and Denise Schroder, Keller Williams Realty Elite
I have been in the real estate or mortgage industry for over 30 years, and this is my all-time favorite place to work. I intend to be here for many more years.
Vicki Clark, Senior Loan Processor
I have had smiling faces at every closing this week. Wanted to share those smiles to some very deserving people (Besides I work for this guy that believes that you make the people you work with smile). Great role model. Cindy and Tammy, thank you for bailing me out when I didn’t realize underwriting one of these took longer. And then there’s Juan—hero close—and Jenny, who is always a hero. Two Realtor agents in a room talking about what a great program this is and how well Cornerstone handled it is always a welcome event. I told Marc not long ago I feel like this place is amazing. Amazing, wonderful teamwork.
Pam Eastwold, Vice President l Production Manager
My time here at Cornerstone has been a dream come true!
Kayla Duffle, Transaction Coordinator
Excellent vision. I absolutely share your values. By the way, I couldn’t sleep the other night . . . thinking about your reply to my email to you about enjoying working “for” Cornerstone, when you said that “we work ‘with’ each other.” I am so excited and want to create value for the company; it really feels like home here. I am indeed quite impressed with the team and our dedication to a quality product with emphasis on relationship building. It is a pleasure to work with Cornerstone. Have a blessed day!

You have built something very special: I can tell from your story of how the company started that you put God first and follow what He would have you do. What a refreshing experience! I cannot wait to grow with Cornerstone and feel very blessed to be a part of this family.
Mary Wedman, Client Experience Assistant
I am very excited to begin my relationship with the Cornerstone family. I print the vision statement as soon as I set-up my equipment which just arrived.
Ann Teich, Underwriter
Still excited to be here. Looking forward to more anniversaries.
Henry Salomon, Training
The Cornerstone story gave me goose bumps. I wasn’t looking for a job when this opportunity presented itself, so I too prayed for God to guide me. The fact that it was named Cornerstone was a huge impact. I know I made the right decision and look forward to the journey.
Rafael Gabeiras, Transaction Coordinator
I want to thank you for the kind and gracious welcome! It is not quite often when a company’s CEO personally welcomes you to a company. Your gesture is just another one of the many acts that have been displayed towards me which lets me know that joining the Cornerstone FAMILY was the best decision that I could have made!
Nickita Breaux, Underwriter

Thank you for your continued support of me and the wonderful ladies on our local “Sharla Ellis Team.” I placed at the top of the production report this past month, but I know I can’t do this alone by any means. Please join me in being recognized for your efforts—you are #1 in my book—you are right there with me in the trenches each day, working very hard to make me shine, and I am grateful each day to be surrounded by such good people who strive to make a difference. Many thanks!
Sharla Ellis, Senior Vice President
Thank you for the AMEX gift card. We are taking our grandsons on a short trip next week, and I’m going to tell them that they each have an extra gift to spend from my “bosses.” They will think this is really cool and that I work for a neat company (which, of course, I do). Thanks again – I really do appreciate this.

Justin Cox, Loan Officer
I just wanted to take a minute, Tammy, and thank you so much for this opportunity! The week of training was incredible, and it was wonderful to get to know you. Since I have started, everyone has been so nice and helpful. The Leads doing the reviews are wonderful! Mario has been so helpful with any questions I have thought of. And even the IT people were fantastic, helping me get set up and explaining everything in terms that made sense. I am so very happy I took the leap of faith and joined Cornerstone! I hope someday to be added to the tenured employees on the Wall of Honor!
Kimberly Renz, Underwriter

I just left a closing. It was special to see the excitement and anticipation of home ownership on our borrower’s face. She thanked me over and over for the help we provided to make this possible. The smile, the excitement, and the anticipation showed belong to all of you! Thank you, Rose for always providing that extra effort. Thank you for calling FNMA and calling me after hours on a Friday afternoon. You are a tremendous resource for CHL.

What a great ten years! I cannot believe it has been that long. I am proud to say that I have been at Cornerstone for 10 years: It is the longest I have ever worked at one company before. You have built an amazing company with great values, and you truly know how to make your employees feel appreciated for how hard we all work. I have really enjoyed working with you over the years and look forward to many years to come. Thank you so much for all that you do and for all of the wonderful surprises today. I feel super special.
Robin Gifford, Senior Loan Officer
I have been meaning to respond to one of your emails that have so very kindly welcomed me aboard the Cornerstone Family. I cannot tell you how much being part of Cornerstone means to me! The bank I worked for previously had similar values, but when they hired a new Loan Ops Director, those values failed to trickle down. It was still hard for me to leave that company until I met the people at Cornerstone! They all explained Cornerstone’s values, and the tenure of the majority of the employees, in a way that I knew these values DID apply throughout the company. This, and the simple fact that I knew I could learn a lot from these women, were the reasons I chose to work here! I’ve been looking for a “home” for years, and I feel like I’ve finally found it here at Cornerstone! It means a lot that Cornerstone is so vocal about their values and support of their employees & customers! In today’s competitive market, I feel like this sets us apart from other lenders. I never heard anything bad about Cornerstone when I was doing my research. In fact, when I turned in my notice to First United Bank, the Vice President asked me where I was going. I told her, and all she could say was “Yep, that’s a good one! It would be selfish of me to even try to convince you to stay at this point.” Thank you for the welcome and for establishing a company with these stellar values, that I can be proud to say I am now a part of!
Erica Parker, Senior Loan Processor
Just wanted to remind you again about how INCREDIBLE Cornerstone is . . . it’s been at LEAST 2 weeks since I last told you!

I just received the flowers for my 5-year anniversary, and they are so beautiful. It was incredibly thoughtful of you to have them sent to me here in Italy. It means so much to me to work for a company where I feel so appreciated. I have thoroughly enjoyed these last 5 years, and I am looking forward to many more with Cornerstone. Thank you so much!
Sarah Muths Lee, Capital Markets
Wow! Can’t believe it has been 15 years. I have always appreciated how Cornerstone has remained committed in consistently acknowledging their employees. It has made this company unique. Thank you so very much for acknowledging this monumental anniversary in such a spectacular way.

I love my job and my Cornerstone family!
Darla Cutler, Government Lending
I’m honored to be a part of such a great group of people.
Will Koenig, Mortgage Advisor
Thank you so much. I look forward to many, many more!
Sherry Merritt, Conventional & Government Underwriter
I originated loans for over 12 years before moving into the appraisal area, and if my past mortgage company employer had the support, corporate culture, and the can-do attitude that we have here at Cornerstone, I’d still be originating! Thanks for creating a great place to work! I am very proud to work here.
Phil Frank, Appraisal Coordinator
Thanks for the Birthday Wishes! So happy to be at Cornerstone!

Blessed to here with Priority (a Cornerstone affiliate)!
Chris Lopez, President l Priority Home Lending
I entered the purchase market in February 2013 with another lender. I had no idea what I was doing or how I was going to get business, and I had very little instruction on how to do it. After two years, I started with Cornerstone in Jan 2015, and March 2015 happened to be my biggest month ever in the business. I closed 10 loans for $1,674,108 and was ecstatic! By the end of 2015, I closed 97 loans for $17,500,000. This past February 2016 I hired a Production Assistant, and in March we hit a record month of 26 funded purchase loans at $4,603,423! Just last month, I hired my newest team member for the role of Loan Officer Assistant. My team makeup now consists of a Senior Loan Officer, a Loan Officer Assistant, a Production Assistant, a Transaction Coordinator, and a Processor. We are currently working to finish this year strong and to continue training while preparing to surpass our goals for 2017. I am beyond blessed to be where I am. I’m surrounded by professionals/mentors who continuously push me to grow and to be better each day. I am excited for what the future holds, and I look forward to continuous growth and life changing opportunities.
Dominic Dangora, Mortgage Advisor

Cynthia Rutherford, Transaction Coordinator
I’m extremely happy to be a part of a great company – thank you for the opportunity!
Leona “Lee” Alexander, Production Associate
As I’ve told others in management who have reached out, my team and I can’t fund$14 million in home loans in the month of August done without an incredible company behind you. Here’s the cool thing: I put 47 loans in the pipeline by July 20th to close in August, and we closed 46! That one that missed out was a purchase that got pushed out 2 weeks due to inspection matters, and we close in a week. I’m hoping that incredible August will catapult me to that “next production level.” I’m eager to help more folks out, and I certainly have the efficiency/system and bandwidth to do $10mil a month.
Dustin Camping, Senior Loan Officer
I am not sure who picks the birthday cards out that you send, but I have to say, they are always spot on with the personalities of the recipients, which is frankly and utterly amazing and somewhat disturbing. Thanks for mine: it has a vending machine of shoes on the front . . . Wow, did you know I have 63 pairs at home? Someone made me count them as part of a bet.
Sabrina Nowling, Vice-President Marketing
I am truly blessed to be part of the Cornerstone family. I hope to meet you at the OPS conference next month. I hear great things about it and am excited to attend.
Marci Green, Underwriter
Our group from a bank gained strong confirmation on why joining Cornerstone was the right move. I want you to know just how supportive and positive all the Cornerstone employees have been during this process. Andrina has been working tirelessly and has aligned a team who show a genuine interest in our success. No doubt there will be a few more twists and turns as this is a large task with many people (and regulators) involved. The future is bright Cornerstone on the East coast. Both Chris and I welcome the opportunity and embrace the goals we will achieve.
Glenn Astolfi, Loan Officer
Thank you so much for the anniversary greeting – it is such a blessing to work for such a wonderful Christian-based company! I look forward to the next 10 years!
Kelli Wesley, Secondary Marketing
I just wanted to say “Thank you” for the opportunity to participate in this Fitness challenge. It was a lot of fun, and it pushed me more than anything else has before when it comes to exercising. I’m sad that I’m already done and wish there was a competition for 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 steps by the end of December.
Teresa Dunn, Closing Coordinator
It occurs to me that I did not thank you for my gift card a couple of months back. Thank you very much. The monthly Fun Day drawing is a nice perk and kind of you to do.
Sean A. Martin, Senior Loan Originator
Thank you so much for the anniversary wishes! It has been an amazing year with Cornerstone for our team, and I am blessed to work for such an amazing company! Looking forward to many more years!

Theresa Steinkamp, Senior Loan Analyst
There is a reoccurring theme that I experience every day: We are incredibly blessed to be part of this amazing place we call Cornerstone! Thank you all for creating an environment where we all know we are part of something special!
Diana Cagle, Product & Pricing Manager
I recently read about the Cornerstone Cares Program, and as someone who was personally affected by a family tragedy, it brought tears to my eyes. I had not known about this program up until about a month ago. Not knowing how this Company would affect my life personally, I know that I can make a difference for someone else. I would like nothing more than to pay it forward for the families that need it in their time of crisis or tragedy. A year ago this past Sunday, our son suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. He was not even 2 years old. He was rushed to Kingwood Medical Center where he lost consciousness and needed to be sent via life-flight to Texas Children’s Hospital for emergency brain surgery. At the time I was a stay-at- home mom of our two, wonderful boys. Working with Cornerstone, my husband, had the flexibility to work remotely and be WITH me through every step of Carter’s recovery. We were admitted for just over 24 days. I put everything on hold in order to give 100% of my focus to my son’s recovery. He was in need of extensive therapy and rehabilitation services. He had physical therapy and occupational therapy until this past April and just this past month, he GRADUATED and tested out of speech therapy. He is not only catching up to his peers but also thriving beyond our wildest dreams! We were invited to a patient reunion party hosted by Texas Children’s Hospital this past July where my son’s doctors and nurses were absolutely floored by his recovery. He is the best representation of a miracle I could ever imagine. This amazing Marketing team rallied behind us through this past year. They came together for us, brought us a gift basket with all the necessary items we would have never thought we would need. They cooked meals for us when we got home so we could spend all of our time getting our son settled back in at home. These amazing people made it possible for us to be present. That means more to me than I could ever truly express. It has been a long year, and we couldn’t be more grateful for Cornerstone and the amazing people we both get to work with now. I have been with Cornerstone since May of this year, and, I have to say, it has been the best decision I have ever made. When the opportunity came up for a part-time position, it was my husband’s love and passion for this company that made me understand that this was more than just another job: this was going to be the door to a whole new opportunity for our family.

It’s been a great 6 years.
Shawn Helmer, Senior Loan Processor
I love working for such a wonderful company with a warm, family atmosphere.
Cindy Hoffart, Accounts Payable Manager
Thank you for thinking of me today! Both Cornerstone and my loan officer Chris Ledesma inspired me to obtain my MLO license. I just took and passed my test last Friday, so in two short years, I have gone from zero mortgage industry knowledge to being a licensed LOA! Thank you!
Starr Graham-Baldwin, Loan Operations
It’s been a great, two years! Looking forward to many more!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I have read the brief narrative as well as done my research in regards to Cornerstone. Needless to say I am impressed, and I am glad to be called a member of the Cornerstone Mortgage family. What impressed me the most was that I noticed in the mission statement as well as in the narrative, the mention of God and your faith. I love and welcome the opportunity to work for a company where upper management has a belief in God and is not afraid to speak of it. I thank you for the opportunity and look forward to a long endeavor with Cornerstone.
Renee Davis, Closing/Loansoft Helpdesk
I love working for this company!

Thank you for building such an amazing company. I assure you that I will continue to do everything I can to help the company grow!
Jessica Baldwin, Mortgage Lending Advisor
It is so hard to believe that it has been a year since I came to work at Cornerstone. I know I have told you this in the past, but wanted to revisit it again on my anniversary date. You called me out of the blue just over a year ago. If you had told me then I could be happier here at Cornerstone than I was at my previous employer, I would have told you that is not possible. Ironically, from our first conversation I felt as if I had come home. As part of the Dinkins region, that feeling continued. I am not saying life is perfect nor that I haven’t had some stumbles along the way as I learned my way around the company. However, your mentality of a servant’s heart has filtered throughout this company, and each day I feel the support of everyone in virtually every department from the condo team to the 401K team, to the ops support we have in our region. Thank you so much for inviting me to join such a great company.
Pamela, Loan Officer
Three years have flown by. Love being on the team here!

Gabby Carrasco, Executive Assistant l Compliance Analyst
Thank you both for the gift card. I appreciate it so much and want you both to know that it has been my pleasure and honor to work for Cornerstone for the last 15 years. A lot has changed, but I still believe it’s the best place to be.
I have thought about sending an email like this on several occasions over the last 3 ½ years I have been with Cornerstone. I was in “corporate America” as an insurance adjuster for 25 years before losing my job. I, then, made a career change and became a loan officer. Although I do not have other mortgage company experience to compare my experience with Cornerstone to, I do have “corporation” experience. I am very impressed with Cornerstone and have been since I was hired. The current ranking showcasing Cornerstone’s performance does not surprise me at all. I am very proud and feel very blessed to work for this company.
Bobbi Hamm, Loan Officer
II am so honored to be a part of such an amazing company! Never have I been so blessed and encouraged by such incredibly inspiring leadership like I have here. I am beyond thankful for this wonderful new “work family”! It is truly a gift! I hope this is only the first of many more years to come!
Taylor Clifford, Compliance Analyst
I say something similar every year, but it is true – what a wild, wonderful trip it’s been! We had hoped and prayed for success but didn’t imagine we could achieve it to this degree. It is the confidence we have in our Mission and Vision that made it [such success] possible over these past]28 years. I’m so very proud of our company. Plus, on the family side, there is such joy in seeing all of our kids grow up and having their own families and accomplishments in and out of the company. We are truly blessed.
Cindy Simmons, Senior Vice President
Thank you so much for the gift card for my 15th Anniversary! It is very generous of you and is truly appreciated. I am very happy to be working for such a great company!

Cornerstone has such a great cultural environment. I am blessed to be here!
Sydonia Shields, Funding Analyst
Working for Cornerstone has been such a blessing in my life. I have met some of the most dedicated, hard-working, competent people here. This company and its employees honestly walk the walk related to our Vision, Mission, and Convictions. We all work hard, but this last month I’ve experienced firsthand how Cornerstone “cares for its people.” Everyone has been so very supportive throughout the month when I needed time off to attend to my husband’s cancer treatment appointments and, even now, when I need to take a couple minutes here and there to help him. I’ve always felt valued for my knowledge, experience, and hard work by every company that I’ve ever worked for, but this is my first experience feeling cared for, and I know that Cornerstone cares. You and Judy have managed to create a very special and unique company. You have hired some amazing people. I am very grateful to be here.
Love working for Cornerstone and Nader! It has been a blessing.
Valerie Faaita, Senior Loan Processor
It’s a privilege and an honor to be a part of Cornerstone.
Audrey Thibodeaux, Compliance Analyst
I love it! I am so grateful for Cornerstone. I worked for 15 years as a mortgage closer for Stewart Title, and I never felt like a valued employee. It makes it very hard to get up and go to work every day as you can imagine. I no longer feel that way. Thank you again for running a class act organization.
Janet Olson, Ops Support
I am very excited to be a part of the team!
Bethany Ramos, Public Relations
First off, I would like to thank Tammy Pullen for inviting me to the Operations Conference over-the -top event! The organizers planned phenomenal classes and easy registration. The events were fantastic, but I was really impressed with the Big Top theme: men walking on stilts, eating knives, carrying monkeys, and doing tricks. The décor that went with all of this extended even to the table decorations on the breakfast and lunch rooms - all of this did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. And then, a band, leading all of us to the big paddle boat dinner and cruise – just unbelievably awesome! To top it all off, with a huge raffle with some unbelievable winnings! Just wanted you to know all the planning and hard work your committees put in on this could not have gone off any better. Wow! I really appreciate it and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Deborah Woodyard, Underwriter
Everyone has made me feel so welcome. I am happy & excited to be part of the Cornerstone Family!

Jeannie Cogdill, Loan Officer
I’m way, way, way overdue to say, “Thanks!” I’m overwhelmed at how generous and thoughtful the Cornerstone family has been after my house fire. I received the gift card you mailed and really appreciate your kindness. The Cornerstone Cares and Go Fund Me donations have been such a blessing to my family. There is so much work ahead, but all of the well-wishes, prayers and donations have made it easier to take care of the day-to-day stuff and feel like we’re getting back to normal.

Jay Crowell, Vice President l District Manager
Thanks to you and Judy for the special effort to commemorate my 15th anniversary. The time has passed quickly! Looking back at the projects completed and issues solved, one wonders how we lived until 5:00pm some days. Cornerstone is now my longest-tenured job; I also have two 8-year jobs and two 5-year jobs in my career, so it takes two of those to equal CHL.
David Ammons, Assistant Vice President in Post-Purchasing

We had our office luncheon today and we all conveyed how truly blessed we are for everything that you do. I came back to my desk to see the email attached and wanted to share it as it was the result of effort from all of us. We do really important things that serve a higher purpose. These loans that we process and close aren’t simply paperwork, as you know: they are people’s homes and children and lives, and I wanted to say, “THANK YOU” for who you are and supporting us on the journey to support others. Super Proud.
Michele Smith, Senior Loan Officer
When I get calls from other companies trying to lure me away, I always list the reasons I will never leave Cornerstone: The support we receive from all the help desks that allow us to make more sales and avoid problems. The support of management that helps us reach our goals and stay focused on our customers. The support of an excellent staff, underwriters, closers, processors, etc. that continually keep us updated on changing guidelines and skills so we can close more deals successfully. But most importantly of all, the integrity and values of my company that make me proud to be a part of it every day. I consider every day I work at Cornerstone a gift - which is why I will probably work here until y’all kick me out to the nursing home!
Diane Rifai, Senior Loan Officer
Words cannot express my gratitude to you, Judy, the Owners, and Leadership Team for your generosity. Thank you for recognizing everyone with such a special surprise. Very honored and blessed to be working with you and Cornerstone Home Lending
Kevin P. Sullivan, Mortgage Branch Manager
I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for the warm welcome Cornerstone Home Lending has provided for the new Atlantic Coast Group. These types of transitions are never easy, but I feel we are on our way to being fully operational and up-to-speed in the near future. I also wanted to thank you for the holiday bonus. That was a very kind gesture for our short time with CHL. I believe it made a tremendous impact on the staff as to the type of company we just joined. I believe it was least expected but tremendously appreciated.
Craig Anderson, Business Development Manager
I just wanted to thank you for the special email I received on Christmas Eve!

Your recognition means a lot as the growth and success of Cornerstone Home Lending company; that you still take the time to acknowledge your employees is a really BIG plus. It has been a pleasure to be employed here for so many years and look forward to doing it a while longer.
Mary Bullacher, Loan Servicing
I am thankful every day to work with such a wonderful company that has passionate and professional employees and leadership. Working with 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 skin cancer surgery. Working with Cornerstone employees restored my trust and faith in co-workers that I had lost while working as a state regulator. Working with 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 continue to do so.
Mary Bullacher, Loan Servicing
I can say firsthand that you have one heck of a team working hard for our company each day, and I feel privileged to work beside such an amazing group of people. I’m thrilled to have been a part of making this year so successful and here’s to many more to come.
Tiffany Inman, Executive Assistant
Thank you for being so generous! I greatly appreciated it. I LOVE working with Cornerstone (and Andy Woodside). This is the best company that I have ever worked for and your vision is what makes it so great!
Janis Gunn, Senior Loan Processor
Five years has gone by fast, but in other ways, it seems like my early days here are distant memories. I was hoping for a different experience vs. my previous employer when I joined Cornerstone (after working at large financial institutions) and I certainly have gotten what I was hoping for. It’s been a lot of fun. Congratulations on building such a unique company and culture!

Sabrina Nowling, Strategic marketing Director
Thank you for this kind email and all you do for Cornerstone as a successful company and culture. I joined Cornerstone towards the end of 2015, and the company culture and personal character of David Bravo were undoubtedly what helped me finalize that decision. The 2016 year has been difficult in some ways, personally and professionally, but my commitment and appreciation for a company I am still so young with, are only stronger. I have a lot of blessings and consider ending up at Cornerstone to be one of those! I am looking forward to a FABULOUS 2017.

David Stephenson, Mortgage Branch Manager
I’ve been with Cornerstone for less than a year, but I’ve been in the industry for 35 years as a Loan Processor, Processing Manager, Underwriter, Broker and Loan Officer. I surely wish I’d come to Cornerstone years ago, for I love working here! I’m very appreciative of the way you treat your employees, the training and support that is offered, and the Policies and Procedures that you’ve set up. I have been trying to take advantage of all that is offered: I read the book Living Forward that you so generously offered and have gone away and written out my plan. My manager here, Nader, is going to help me go through it and work on implementing the changes. I’m so grateful I’m here at Cornerstone. I love being connected with a Godly company where relationships are important and where the efforts of all involved are appreciated, not just a select few. Thank you for your generosity. May the Lord continue to bless Cornerstone and cause us to be a light in a sometimes dark and dishonest industry.

You inspire your Cornerstone team to reach their potential with weightless grace.
Fred Crowell
I began working for Cornerstone this past August. I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to be a Cornerstone Home Lending employee. I have worked for many, many years in the mortgage industry, and my motivation has always been to help families to reach their homeownership goals. I am a member of the Sharla Ellis team. Before we all went home for the Christmas holiday this past Friday, I told Sharla that one of the things I am most grateful for this year is to be a part of such a remarkable team of hard working women. Sharla and our team inspire me to continue my growth within the mortgage industry. I am inspired by Cornerstone’s Mission Statement as well. It is within me each day that I am here at work. Your generosity is most appreciated.

Thank you for the opportunity to work with Cornerstone Home Lending. I came over three years ago and have been very impressed with all of the people I’ve come in contact with over the past few years.

This is a wonderful company with an excellent mission and a company easy to be proud of. I look forward to many more years!

Jenny Scott, Vice President, Operations Manager
Cornerstone is an amazing company to work with. It’s comforting to know that the owners and upper management really “get it” and put loan officers is a good position to sell a great company. I feel blessed to work here!
Michael Heldt, Underwriter
So glad to be here and thank you for creating an incredible culture.
Daniel F. Gonçalo, Talent Engagement Manager
I have worked with Wells Fargo and Chase in the past and have never felt as happy as I feel at Cornerstone. This year has been great, but I know the ones that follow will be so much greater.
Arlette Gonzalez, Loan Officer
Thank you for letting me be part of this amazing company.
Connie Doll, Production Partner
When I reflect about my opportunity in banking that led me to mortgages and my desire to help and bless people with homeownership, I’m thankful every day that my wife’s job brought us to Dallas and that I was introduced to Gina. I know that I had the knowledge and skill set to be successful in the mortgage industry had I stayed in Kansas City, but can’t help but KNOW that without Cornerstone, I wouldn’t be as successful as I am today. From you and Judy, Cindy Annis, Gina Jackson, Rose Moore, Mary Dinkins, Paula Barksdale, Kerri Etheridge, Kim Link, Shelley Mills, Jenny Scott, Lisa Taylor and countless others that bless my life every day, I wouldn’t be able to help all these families looking for fair, knowledgeable and quality service. This is something I’m truly proud of and you should be too. It has taken me some time, but by having Faith at home and work, I’m able to recognize and speak openly about it. Thank you for your continued efforts in enriching your employees’ lives, for they extend to and enrich the lives of others every day, and it doesn’t go unnoticed.
Brett McClellan, Production Partner
Thanks for your leadership and service and for making Cornerstone such a great place to work. I’m grateful.

Ramona L Brooks – Regional Closer
It’s been a pleasurable two years!
Karen Cassera, Loan Processor
I’m very grateful to be a part of this company every day, and being remembered on my birthday solidifies that. I’ve worked for some good companies in my career but have never received a personally signed card from the CEO. It’s one of the things I tell people most often about why this is a great company to work for – as a large, national corporation with so many offices and people . . . it just never feels like that. I can always talk to someone on the phone when I need help and everyone genuinely cares about everyone else. The idea of TEAM at Cornerstone is embodied in real people every day. It’s an amazing feat to make a company of this size feel like a small, personal group. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this family.
Megan Clark, Mortgage Loan Underwriter

Jan Hubbell, Loan Officer
I started working for Cornerstone when I was still in high school. Since that time, I’ve been to plenty of social events and talked with a bunch of people, and I cannot think of one person in 16 years who hasn’t told me that “Cornerstone is a great company to work for.” You both have done an awesome job of creating and maintaining an excellent reputation in an extremely competitive industry, and as an employee, thank you!
Jeff Charbonneau, Loan Officer
I couldn’t ask for a better company or team to work with.

Thank you, and to borrow a marketing phrase from a popular fast-food chain . . . I’m lovin’ it!
Richard York, Underwriter / Condo Project Review Department
Thank you so much for the flowers and gift card! They just got to my desk a bit ago. I can’t believe it’s been five years, already. I’m definitely blessed to be a part of the Cornerstone family and look forward to many more.
Melissa Wolfe | Licensed Production Assistant
It’s been a great first year. Cornerstone is a great company, and I am honored to be able to work here. I have learned a lot and have gained many new friends/family.
Tahlia Cavazos, Production Artist
Thank you for your providing the tools needed for us to succeed. I met with Gene Humphries yesterday for brunch, and we have discussed the possibility of opening up another branch in our neighboring town of Loveland. My wife and I are very excited about this potential opportunity for future growth in our home town of Loveland. We will keep our Fort Collins branch so this will be a big step for us. I am sure you already know, but Gene is a true blessing to all of us and with his guidance, I am 100% certain will reach our goal. On a side note, I really want to thank you for your support in retaining the top loan officer in our branch. Dustin Camping has been with me and my office for over 8 years prior to our joining Cornerstone. He is staying with us and will be a big part of our future.
David Stephenson, Mortgage Branch Manager
Happy to still be here, working with so many great people.

Ryan Earl Leahy, Licensed Mortgage Professional
I just wanted to let you know that Stan Thampi from the corporate technology dept was amazing. As you know he arrived in Albuquerque on Sunday to install our new hardware and get us through the “new” Citrix conversion. He worked through the wee hours of Monday morning so that when we arrived for work, we were set up and ready for our training with John Bryant. The conversion went very smoothly and anything that was missing on our systems or that needed tweaking was immediately handled and fixed by Stan. He had a very positive attitude and friendly personality and did everything humanly possible to make our conversion as painless as possible. He treated each of us as if we were his only “customer” and made sure we were comfortable and working properly before he left yesterday. He is a bona fide example of “the Cornerstone difference.” So I wanted to tell you what a great employee he is. Thanks so much for sending him to Albuquerque.
Joanne Posen, Senior Account Manager
I love working here!
Brenda Buller, Loan Officer
You guys are the greatest—thanks so much! To top everything off, you guys have created the greatest company to work for, and that is priceless!

I love how our workplace feels like a family, especially since homebuyers themselves are usually families. Thank you for all you and the team have done to build Cornerstone to be what it stands for today.
Kelli Martin, Web Content Administrator
Thanks for reaching out. Originating and managing as a JV at a different company for the previous 6 ½ years was a very trying experience, to say the least. Mary Dinkins assembled the team of Jenny Scott and Paula Barksdale do a tremendous job supporting our originators, processors, underwriters, and closers. We at Bankers have never seen a support team work harder and truly care about each and every closing like they do. Their attitude and work ethic are to be commended as a rarity. I know I speak for our whole team when I say that your mission statement is fulfilled daily.

Jeff Robert, Loan Officer
I want to thank you for having built a company that takes its Mission, Vision and Convictions so seriously. I came to Cornerstone in July of last year, and it has been a great experience. I have to tell you, I was considering a few different mortgage companies at the time, and the difference maker for me was the part of the mission statement, that said, “We exist use and improve upon our God-given talent. . . .” That really resonated with me, and I liked the idea of going to work for a company that acknowledges where our gifts come from. I could also tell in my visit to the regional office in Ft. Collins that everyone there was living out the Mission, Vision and Convictions. I have continued to see that at work almost every single day. I just wanted to share those thoughts with you.
Brian Fulcher, Mortgage Branch Manager
Still feel blessed to work here every day.

We are blessed and grateful . . . for the compassionate company and atmosphere you have created. We appreciate the deep personal friendships that we have built with you both and so many other great people over the past 12 years. This is not typical of just any company. Cornerstone has nurtured and grown from a vision and a commitment to a culture of caring and compassion for its employees. It does work, it does matter, and it does show in the growth and success of the company. We know and appreciate that Cornerstone really does care, and we are grateful to be part of the family! Our love and thanks to you for everything.
I enjoy working for Crestmark (Cornerstone affiliate) so much!
Twyla Cravy, Senior Loan Officer
My tenure at Cornerstone has been 6-years of personal and professional growth. I'm excited about the opportunities ahead.
Nader Chahine, Mortgage Branch Manager
Being here has been a pleasure. Thank you for this team in Florida. I think our brand is about more than making money: I think it is about helping families, including my own. Thank you for all you all do and for the culture that defines this company.
Michele Smith, Senior Mortgage Banker
I can honestly say that I have enjoyed working for such a strong leader and genuinely good person as Andrina every single day of the five years and am truly thankful to the two of you for providing me—and every other CHL employee—the opportunity to work for such a solid, motivated and forward-thinking company. My mortgage career has spanned well over twenty years now (ouch), and I can say without reservation that CHL is THE best company I have ever been a part of and is, in my opinion, by far the employer of choice in the mortgage industry.
Michael Newton, Regional Production Manager
It was great meeting you in Colorado. I was interviewing a potential branch manager candidate yesterday, and she kept going back to your video. She said her husband overheard it in the living room, and he said, “Who is that? What a great message!”
Chuck Biggs, Loan Officer, Area Manager
I can honestly tell you that in my 38 years in this business that Cornerstone is one of the very best companies that I have ever worked for.

Again, thank you, and the people that make Cornerstone the great company it is, for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful company. I am truly blessed to be here with you all.
David Barnes, Loan Officer
It’s a pleasure to work here. I sit on the board of an organization called the Opportunity Coalition, and last week our guest speaker was Eric Chester, a local author who has written several books. His most recent is about to be released, and we were fortunate to receive a copy. It’s entitled On Fire At Work and focuses on how great companies ignite passion in their people without burning them out. If you have a chance, get a copy: I just know you would love it.
Christina Whelan, Loan Officer
Thank you so much for your kind voicemail! I have greatly enjoyed my six years here at Cornerstone! I am proud to be a part of this company!
Kathy Lynn Halkins, Creative Director
I am happy to be a part of a company with such great values and vision. Looking forward to make a difference and helping the company achieve more goals in years to come.
Omar D’elia, Web Designer
I discovered how special Cornerstone Home Lending is on the first day I spoke to your recruiter, Don Snyder. He described the culture at the office in Plano with Wallly Elibiary and the entire staff. He also told me how special everyone is at Cornerstone. On my first day of work, I arrived to be greeted by everyone. They gave me flowers and took me out to lunch. I then received my Cornerstone keychain and cup. After our morning meeting, we all joined in prayer, so I knew after the first day how blessed I was to be joining this company. Every day since then I’ve discovered something new that impresses me, such as watching your video regarding the Cornerstone Cares program,[to] which I want to give weekly. I am just thrilled to have had my prayers answered and [be] given the opportunity to become a part of the Cornerstone family.

Every day I wake up feeling so blessed to be able to drive to the corporate office and work! Work to me means giving of myself and assisting others within the company in making people I don’t even know live the American dream – owning a home! How great is that!? Lately for some reason I’ve been thinking of you both. One of my thoughts is that I haven’t said “THANK YOU” enough in the 23+ years I’ve been here and known you.

Thank you again! The opportunity to work with you here at Cornerstone, and the significance you bring to our lives, is beyond words.
Cody Hart, Manager of Profitability Analysis
I want to express my gratitude to you for providing me with the perfect place of employment. I have been working with Cornerstone a little over a year, and everyone I work with is like family to me. I am located in Dallas and have been to the Houston office a few times. I will never forget the first time I was there: everyone treated me like I had known them for years, very welcoming and kind. I spend most of my days smiling because I have been blessed to be a part of the Cornerstone family. This year has been the hardest year of my life: I went through a very bad divorce and learning to be a single mom to my 2-year-old daughter. Cornerstone was and still is my happy place. Working for people that always tell you they appreciate you and let you know they are happy you are on their team makes employees feel like they work for a company who cares, and that means so much. I am looking forward to many more years at Cornerstone.

Doug Shehan, PMO/DGQ Manager
It has been my pleasure to serve Cornerstone as a Customer Service Rep in the Loan Servicing Department for the past 10 years.

I hope to continue this mission for many years to come.
Debbie Wleczyk, Loan Servicing Department

Another one of our finest moments this morning, My Cornerstone Cares friends!

Lots of tears and goose bumps upon goose bumps! So very proud of this company and the kind and gentle spirit we exude when our extended family needs us. We are truly blessed! Thank you so very much.
Cari Reed, Regional Business Manager
Cornerstone Home Lending is a great place to work. I thank God for the vision the two of you had to provide excellent mortgage service to the community that has now expanded into many states. I join with you in understanding that employee morale is very important to an organization and see it exhibited, as an HR Benefits Specialist, in some ways all employees do not see. I pray God will continue to give you dreams, understanding and opportunities to continue blessing individuals and families with home purchase and employment.

I hope that I can retire with this company (I still have 25 more years to go). Thanks again for giving me opportunity to work with you.
Karim Lakhani, Closer
It is a pleasure and a real honor to be part of the Cornerstone Team. It’s nice to be able to come to work each day secure in the knowledge that what I do makes a difference – that I may be able to offer a better way of life to each person I speak with.

I look forward to offering my contribution to the company’s success in the coming years.
Suzanne Kieffer, Senior Loan Officer
It is a true pleasure to work at such a great company and with such wonderful people.
Dawn Daley, BI/Business Manager
Your Team has created such a great environment here at Cornerstone. I swear, every employee I’ve ever interacted with whether it be by phone, or via email has always been so helpful, kind and understanding. For example today, I apologized for a mistake that I made, and the response was “It’s okay; we are here to help.” I can tell you from experience, this does NOT happen at every organization. This “Can do” and “How can we help?” attitude is so refreshing. I truly feel blessed to be working here!

It’s been an amazing and rewarding 4 years.

It’s official: Pierre and I made President’s Club for 2013! This is a result of hard work in the crippled market of Las Vegas and also the direct efforts all of you have made over the past year to support us. We are deeply grateful for the calls you took, the files you rushed, the problems you solved, and always with the feeling that we mattered. What an amazing family, separated by states but not by the love of our Company, jobs, or time zones!
Vicky Frontiere, Certified Mortgage Planner & Pierre LaPres, Loan Officer
Cornerstone has a unique set of people who take a lot of pride in what they do, and we really have a great opportunity here. So, I wanted to write a quick note of gratitude…

23 years ago today I joined this wonderful company, and have been thanking my lucky stars ever since! I was such a pup when I started, and when I look back to what you and Judy have helped me accomplish and how I was able to provide for my family, it truly just blows me away that you had faith in me to open this branch!
Just a quick note to express my appreciation and gratitude to you, my Cornerstone family, and everyone behind the scenes for your great help and assistance this past year. 2013 was an awesome year but not without challenging circumstances, tightening parameters and market fluctuations. My volume production placed me 2nd overall within the company, yet I am keenly aware that I did not do this without the support of each of you [in our support staff] and what your departments contribute. Together we are helping many families realize dreams of homeownership. Cornerstone is a special company and has special people whose work does make a difference. Again, thank you so much for the part you play in my success.
Sharla Ellis, Senior Vice President
I am lucky that I work with such a good group. I will miss them and Cornerstone when I leave in ten months due to a military move with my husband.
Pam Mcneal, Loan Operations
I could not have made it thru this year without the support you all provided. I can tell you though what we battled through this year only made the team stronger. For 2014 we have set the goal of breaking the last record Robb and I set together, and that’s total volume. So, we are shooting for 125 million or higher this year. Looking forward to many more years with Cornerstone!
Andy Woodside, Vice President/Mortgage Branch Manager
I have so enjoyed and feel very fortunate to be working for Cornerstone. I am looking forward to 2014.
Kathy Smith, Underwriter
I love working at Cornerstone. I love this company, the people I work with and the company’s motto and mission. I feel blessed to have ended up with such a fulfilling career with a remarkable company
Lucinda Dorgan, Loan Processor
I just wanted to take the time to let you know how much I appreciate your never giving up on recruiting me. After being in this business for 18 years, moving to another company was not something to take light hearted or jump into. As loan officers, we get approached every day from other lenders who all have the same story about being the best, … but it’s really true at Cornerstone. I can’t believe it’s almost been 3 years since I started at Cornerstone. I thank God every day for my career, Cornerstone and for the opportunity. When I’m meeting with new realtors, I just get all goosey inside. I find that my excitement about Cornerstone just bleeds out of my pores! I can now meet with realtors and it’s not just lip service. Cornerstone IS REALLY THE BEST! I tell clients that Cornerstone runs their business like I would, if I was the owner. Again, thank you for encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone by adding an assistant to my team last year. It was literally a leap of faith. My goal for 2014 is to add a 3rd person to my team. This time it comes a little easier to do since I can see the increase in volume by always stretching my comfort zone.
Angie Haag, Senior Loan Officer
It has been a fast but very great year! I love Cornerstone and am so happy to be a part of this family. It has definitely been a great experience, and I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work for such an amazing company!
Shalene Bentley, Processing Coordinator

We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone at Cornerstone who has invested so much time and so many resources in our team. We are so appreciative of the business and marketing opportunities, education, coaching and all that we have been offered to better our business and our team. We are proud to be part of the Cornerstone family and are very grateful for everything you all have done and continue to do to make sure we are successful. When Kevin and I decided to make this a family venture, we were invested 100%, and we continue to work hard for Cornerstone, our customers and our family. It is wonderful to know that our company is as committed to our development and success as we are.
Mary and Kevin Francis, Production Partner and Residential Mortgage Banker
As always, many thanks to you and Judy for providing the opportunity for all us to contribute what we can to make Cornerstone the company it is today. It is truly a special place to work.

Catherine Zanoni, Loan Officer
I feel so very blessed that 14 years ago I was referred to this company and was hired. I was newly divorced and was a single mother of a 3 year old and a 7 year old. Life has not been perfect but because of the people I work with and for, I have raised my family with pride. I know that a lot of it is because of the generosity and caring attitude of this company. GOD BLESS you for your donation to the victims of West. My sister’s home will have to be rebuilt, and her insurance will provide for that, but a lot of others are not as fortunate and have lost the main source of income for their families. I know that they are not thinking of that right now and can mourn only their lost loved ones, but in the weeks and months to come, the monetary gifts will take a little stress out of their lives as they rebuild.
Tammy Denton, Production Manager

Thank you for your generosity to our clients. I have 2 past clients that had a total loss on their homes [due to the Oklahoma tornadoes]. One lost her husband to cancer 3 years ago. She moved from Colorado to Oklahoma at that time to be closer to friends (To say the least, she has been through a lot in the last 3 years). She was very appreciative of the gift. Kathy Halkins met with both clients and they received the contribution. They were both deeply moved that our company would go above and beyond for them. Thank you for caring.
Debbie Clark, Business Development Manager
Thank you for doing this [Donation to Oklahoma tornado victims]. It has broken my heart and filled it at the same time to talk to people in Oklahoma and to see their strength, resolve and positive attitudes. Not sure I would be able to be that way if this had happened to me. This is just one more reason why Cornerstone is such a special place to be part of.

That [Donating to the Oklahoma relief efforts] is so sweet of you. This is another reason I am so proud to work for Cornerstone. One of my customers, James &Ashley Cxxxxx (age 27 &25), just bought their first home on 3/22/13. They lost everything. Here’s another thing…this young couple bought this house because they take care of their elderly parents that can’t work. I thought at the time, “How awesome is this young couple to take on so much responsibility at such a young age!” They are self-employed painters and lost all of their equipment they use to make a living. Thank you and to the Cornerstone Family for making a difference in lives!

Lynn Rome, Loan Officer
My sister is in the process of looking for a home and did make an offer on a property. There were multiple offers placed on the property, but the seller offered my sister a chance to match the highest offer due to the fact that my sister was using Cornerstone. The seller said that Cornerstone was known for making their closing dates and that she would rather work with my sister, as a result. Anyway, I just thought that this was neat: it is interesting to hear what other people have to say about our company.
Shelley Cob,. Appraisal Coordinator
Despite the turmoil in the mortgage industry, I have felt such peace and security over the last five years. It is so nice to be with a stable company who does what is “ethically and morally” right! Thanks again!

Jennifer Weber, Web Design Manager
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate being one of the monthly Fun Day Drawing winners! And the fact that you included the time I was with Cornerstone before we separated from FNB means the world to me. When I hear my 20-something children complaining “about how their employers don’t care and they don’t treat them well,” I wish they could all come work for CHL! Thank for caring, thank you for treating us so well, and thank you for understanding how hard we work. It’s a great thing to be appreciated, and you, too, are appreciated!!

I am so completely impressed by the people, the resources and the Cornerstone culture and I’m thrilled and excited to be here. Mary Dinkins and Rose Moore talked to me 10 years ago about joining Cornerstone. At that time, I was very happy where I was and didn’t accept their offer. Now, I really wish I had. But, I finally made it and I’m raring to go. Also want to tell you what a fantastic trainer you have in Susan Barnhill – our week with her last week in Houston was incredible.

My wife is a Broker Manager overseeing 3 offices and 45 agents. We eat/sleep/live ‘the business.’ I cannot agree more with “our” core values as you state them – because I own them and live by them. Thank you.

Another great month has passed – and I can’t help myself again – you are probably tired of seeing me write each month, but I have to again express my gratitude to the Cornerstone family and to my awesome local team for all that everyone does to support me and my efforts. Wow and Wow on all that we are doing (together we are making great things happen). Wow and Wow on the support we give to one another.Wow and Wow on helping to sometimes turn the impossible scenarios into possibilities (I just got off the phone with Alison in Secondary, and Dan Cooper is making something possible for me that otherwise would not be possible … but that seems to happen all the time with each department and all the non-vanilla situations we seem to have … thank you for finding ways within what is acceptable to make many things work … you are AWESOME!) Hat’s off to all of you: you are hard-working, dedicated, miracle workers! We are serving clients and our referral partners in a fabulous way! I am so happy to have your continued support and help that allows me to do what I do.
Sharla Ellis, Senior Vice President

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.

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.

The Cornerstone Care program has given us a chance not only to catch up with our payments but also, more importantly, to breathe again. It’s been a long road, and a giant weight has now been lifted. Thank you for keeping my sons in the home they love. I feel blessed and honored to work here. Please know that I am going to sign up right away to participate in the contributions to this program. I have to start small, but I believe in helping in any way I can to keep this program going.

I am on my way back from Todd Duncan's Boot Camp and want to send you a heartfelt “Thank you” for sending me. It was a huge gift and, although I have been exposed to many of the concepts through coaching, I am determined to put these ideas to use and finally build a sustainable, profitable business.
Mark Townsend, Senior Loan Officer
I just wanted to send a HUGE “Thank you” for investing in my future at Cornerstone. Boot Camp was an eye-opener and is going to challenge me to increase new relationships and deepen current ones. I loved being around so many other eager loan originators from our company. Just seeing so many from our company shows me that you live our vision of growing Cornerstone with our God-given talents. What a blessing this is to see! Cornerstone is a truly amazing place, and I thank God that I have the privilege of working for leaders like you all. You always go above and beyond—it does not go unnoticed by me and others in our company. How great is this and how great is our God (Awesome that I can say this to you)!
Joe Lombardo, Mortgage Loan Consultant
It has been a wonderful year [for me at Cornerstone], and an amazing 4 years [that have passed]!
Erich Hoff, Public Relations
Cornerstone is making a HUGE showing at Sales Mastery Boot Camp (44 out of 122). The dinner was a great opportunity to confer with other Cornerstone folks from other parts of the country on what an incredible organization we are part of. Todd Duncan had some VERY nice things to say as well about our leadership and Marc’s commitment to excellence. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’m WILDLY excited about 2014 and all of the opportunity that it represents. My commitment to success is my best expression of gratitude.
Todd Frederking, Loan Officer
I truly love working with Cornerstone and would love to retire with this company if it is at all possible

We re-learned, shared, and discussed powerful pillar points that will translate into value-added blessings on Cornerstone in the days, weeks, and years to come.

A huge kudos and congratulatory thanks to the dedication and commitment of CMC Team Member Diane Rivera in the Condo Department for what she brings to the table. Her talents and precise communication got this project approved with minimal emails back and forth and reviewed in the time frame she expected. This enabled us to meet our clients’ expectations along with the trusted service kudos from the agent and developer. I am thankful and appreciative we have someone like her employed at CMC as we must stop and remember there is more to our company than the sales force driving our revenue/volume: it’s the people behind the scenes that truly help loan officers put the final pieces together seamlessly, and one of those employees at CMC is Diane Rivera.

Personally, my career experience has been with companies that have professed a desire to develop personal yet professional relationships but have often fallen short of the mark. So far, Cornerstone has already proven to have a genuinely different approach to the same goal and seems to be unequivocally succeeding at creating and maintaining relationships characterized by a like-mined passion to do what is right and good. While I will be the first to admit to any trepidation, I am wholeheartedly excited to begin a true career in which I can positively impact my colleagues, customers, and even those I have yet to meet.

Leslie Bergen, Producing Mortgage Branch Manager
I am so impressed with Cornerstone!
Andrea Kehres, Servicing
I just wanted to take a minute to say “Thanks!” I was shocked last week to find out that one of the paid holidays was my birthday. I have been in this industry for close to 30 years and have not worked for a company such as this that I feel truly cares about its employees. The small things that show appreciation add up and make me want to do a great job for Cornerstone.
Renee Reisweber, Underwriter
It has been a blessing working for this company. God bless you and Judy and all the Cornerstone Family.
Paula Cruz, Shipper
Thank you very much for sharing the story of how Cornerstone came to be. I have indeed already discovered this is a great company to work for. It was really apparent during my interviews here in Fort Collins, CO, that everyone was happy to be here. I can’t express how important that is, especially coming from a previous environment that wasn’t as positive. I look forward to making a positive impact here.
Matt Eberhardt, IT
Thank you so much for your warm Anniversary message. It is a pleasure being here at Cornerstone and I look forward to many more years to come!

Libby Swedberg, Conventional Underwriting Help Desk Team
I was recently talking to a psychologist-friend of mine who is getting ready to open her own practice. She was asking about my job and curious why I would continue to work long hours when, in her mind, I could easily have the choice of staying at home, working much less, or finding an easier job. I explained about some of the incredible people I work with, how dedicated they are, how sincerely nice they are, how good they are at what they do. I pulled out the Cornerstone card with our mission, vision, and values. And, I told her about signing onto the computer every day with a promise to make a difference! Some people may say it is needless, but I explained to her that for me, it is a great reminder to get my attitude right—from the start. She asked to keep the card to model her own business after. She told me that she was honestly AMAZED to learn about a company with that much commitment! It made me proud to work here and I thought you might enjoy hearing that.
Alice Von Seggern, Underwriter
Little do people, who are OUTSIDE this great company, realize how blessed and fortunate we are to have an underwriting team that is as committed to our customers and our referral partners as our production teams are. Truly amazing! THANKS AGAIN, for all you do for us, you are truly appreciated!!

What an amazing team we have at Cornerstone! Due to unfortunate circumstances that took place in one of our branches yesterday, we had to call in Cindy Simmons “over-flow” processing team for help. We even had loan officers in other branches offering to pull non-critical files from Cindy’s team so they could better assist our branch in need. Thank you for your support!
Mary Dinkins, Regional President
It has been a wonderful 5 years. Together with Cornerstone we’ve all been able to achieve more than I ever dreamed.
Brian Bomar, Mortgage Branch Manager
I feel so privileged to work with and for such amazing people.
Lana Clary, Production Assistant
It is after 7:00 Vegas time, so it’s 9:00 PM in Texas. Our recently re-hired processor Stacy is still working at the office to get out disclosures and meet compliance. She ran into a glitch so out of desperation she emailed Paula Barksdale in Houston, who has a sick daughter at home. Paula graciously answered her phone, and got Katrina Hightower on the other line. They are currently helping Stacy get the job done. Completely unreal and amazing! There is just no place like this Cornerstone home, and no people like those who call it home. You all exceed expectations every day, and we greatly appreciate all of you.
Vicky &Pierre, Production Partners
I have a great team and awesome support system with Cornerstone. I feel very fortunate to work here.
Lisa Kassuba, Senior Loan Officer
I appreciate you all so very much and wanted to express my gratitude. To produce large volumes like this definitely takes a team effort, and once again, you shined! Look at the dreams we are fulfilling and how we are making a difference in the lives of the families we help! It’s terribly exciting! I hope you have a wonderful month ahead! Let me know if I can be of assistance to you in any way.
Sharla Ellis, Top Producing Loan Officer
I also want to say what a pleasure it is to work for such a great company that cares so much about its employees! It makes moving to a big city and being overwhelmed so much nicer.

I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am to work for a company that is willing to right a wrong when others are not. I recognize that it’s the culture that you both have fostered over the last 25-years that allowed Tammy &Stephanie to act decisively to approve the exception. I feel so fortunate to have participated in making a difference for this family [borrower] and want to personally thank you on their behalf.

Jeni Beecher, Loan Operations
I’d like to take this brief opportunity to share something wonderful with you. I was given the great opportunity to travel to Johnson City, TN, this week to train new hires just before they launch their new office over here. During casual talk about the mortgage industry, the bank they previously were employed with, and so on, one of the ladies told me that she had interviewed with two other lenders prior to considering Cornerstone Mortgage. She said that the determining factor for making Cornerstone her next home was our Vision Statement. I couldn’t keep this wonderful comment to myself and wanted to share with you what I so often hear after speaking with new members of your phenomenal organization. Thank you for the confidence you instill in your employees and for leading by such great example.
Lucila I. Bernal , Cornerstone Education
I am continually impressed with the commitment to excellence and knowledge here at Cornerstone. I truly love helping make people’s dream of home ownership a smooth, exciting, and joyful experience. I look forward to working here many years,

Penny J Benton, Underwriter
Thank you for the warm welcome to Cornerstone Mortgage Company. I am thrilled to be working with people who really do want to give the customer excellent service. With your permission, I plan to use the Vision Statement as my “calling card” as I reintroduce myself to the Realtor and Builder community in San Antonio. I am looking forward to a long, happy and productive tenure with Cornerstone Mortgage Company.
Jean-Marie Warren, Senior Loan Officer
Thank you for the introduction and attachments of the Cornerstone Story and Mission Statement. I truly consider myself fortunate to have this opportunity and feel as though I should be delivering Lou Gehrig’s “Luckiest Man” speech in the mirror each morning. The Vision, Mission and Values of Cornerstone are a breath of fresh air as a guide to conduct business. Upon first learning of the guiding principles you have set for Cornerstone, you reminded me of a person I greatly admire Jon M. Huntsman, founder of the Huntsman Cancer Institute and author of “Winners Never Cheat.”
Joe Harvey, Loan Officer
It means a lot to be able to say that I have a boss who truly cares about the employees. It's no wonder Cornerstone ranks as one of the Top Best Places to Work. I am honored to be one of the employees. Thank you, Marc, for always caring! And thank you for continuing to give me the opportunity to call Cornerstone home.
I would like you to know that I really enjoy working with the people at Cornerstone. I have found everyone willing to help in every way—from getting us licensed to how we present ourselves to our clients. It is very refreshing to come on board with a new company whose employees are not only knowledgeable in their profession but are happy in their work. You are to be commended in the way you have structured your organization as well as surrounded yourself with such capable people. “Wanting to make the loan” and quick responses to our needs and questions are such different notions from other employers’ philosophies. Thank you for your warm welcome and kindness during this transition. I am very excited about Cornerstone—its mission and vision— and becoming part of your growing family.
Bob Schwalb, Loan Officer
Having been with CMC almost 15 years, I have taken for granted the blessing of working for such a wonderful company … a company filled with compassion for others and a company that lives our Mission every day.

Julie Piepho, Executive Vice President

It is a pleasure to be working at Cornerstone Mortgage. The vision statement was a huge reason I came (The “God” part).

Julie Negri, Sr. Loan Officer
Being the new kid on the block with impressions freshly formed, I thought I'd share with you how impressive these first few weeks have been in ways far too numerous to mention.
Sheldon Berk, Loan Officer
My family returned from our mission trip to the Ukraine last week. I would just like to take an opportunity to express how grateful I am to work for a company that supports mission efforts such as these, by allowing me to be gone for two weeks at a stretch. It is never lost on me just how blessed I am to be part of the Cornerstone family!
Angela Breidenbach, Operations Manager
Hey, everyone, I’m back and working today and willing to do anything. I’m a little at loss for words for how much the team has completely rallied for me this week.

Doug Brown, Loan Officer Assistant
It was great to spend time with you at BCE last week. I forgot to mention how appreciative I am for your commitment and actions to keep the underwriting queues flowing efficiently. The positive feedback we’ve received from our borrowers and referral partners has been tremendous.
Nader Chahine, Mortgage Branch Manager
I was not optimistic that we would be able to close all the loans for September by looking at your queues mid month, Rose and Tammy. While I know the day is not over, I wanted to say THANK YOU and hats off to your teams for making it happen! I know there was a lot of overtime to get here and really appreciate you sacrificing your time to get the job done. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

I truly have enjoyed my three years at Cornerstone. It is a great company, and I appreciate the many opportunities here for growth, [not only] for the company but also for myself.
J Gallagher, Accounting
As Tom Peters (author of In Search of Excellence) made his presentation today, I could not help but note the similarity of his presentation ideas to your view of Cornerstone. I know the idea of your employee being the number one client is a philosophy which is dear to your heart. Pretty simple stuff really … Help your employees help their clients, and all will be rewarded. Congratulations to you both on the success of Cornerstone Mortgage Company!
L Charbonneau, Industry Consultant
It is hard to believe I have been with CMC for five years: it has gone so fast! I am truly blessed to work for such a wonderful company.

I am a blessed to be a part of the Cornerstone team.
G DeMarois, Loan Processor
As always, we came together as a team and made it [funding] happen! The borrower knows we went the extra mile, and the builder was WOWED by how quickly we got it done. I am THANKFUL to be at a great company with a great team and a CAN DO attitude that has been lost at a lot of companies but not at Cornerstone. Our vision and our purpose speak volumes that we live by what we stand for!
Janelle Carver, Loan Officer
We have more than half of our underwriters committing some of their Thanksgiving weekend hours to serve CMC. What a great TEAM!
Tammy Pullen, Underwriting Manager
This has been a great year, and I’m very happy to be part of the team here. Even though I worked with most of the people in CO about 10 years ago, I felt at home with the others here and at the corporate level from Day One. I’m looking forward to many more anniversaries here!

Rhonda Wolff, Business Development Coordinator
I really appreciate how supportive you were when I approached you with a request that we participate in DELRAP. I recognize that not a lot of correspondent lenders are participating in the program, so it made it all the more special when you agreed to do so. I’m excited to inform you that this morning Cornerstone input our first DELRAP project approval, and we’ll be closing the loan in the next couple of weeks. I have been especially impressed with Tammy Pullen’s leadership and determination as she pushed through the obstacles with HUD and guided Diane Rivera through the evaluation of the project. I can’t begin to tell you what a victory this has been, and the number of inquiries I’ve been receiving from the local Realtors seeking to work with someone that can facilitate FHA financing on condos. Thank you so much!
Nader Chahine, Loan Officer
I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for you. Having the opportunity to work in the mortgage industry and be of service to such great sources and clients [in addition to] being a part of making homeownership dreams come true has been one of the greatest blessings in my life, and I am so very grateful! Thank you for the opportunity to work with you, and thank you for all that you do to make a difference in the lives of so many people.
Sharla Ellis, Loan Officer
At this time of year we are reminded to give thanks for the many blessings we have been privileged to receive. I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for your continued support and guidance.
Andrina Valdes, SVP Builder Division
Thank you for inspiring me to send these [thank you notes to people who have made a difference in our lives]. I wouldn’t have done it without your influence. I feel that the leadership philosophy of this company—as displayed by you, Gene Humphries, Jim Hunter, Tim Oddo, and the Colorado Team, in general—is the driving force for me in making this such a wonderful environment to which I come to work to each day.
Lisa Martin, Senior Mortgage Loan Officer
I am the new Business Development Manager for the Jackson, Mississippi, branch. I recently moved from Houston, Texas, where I attended Bible study with Bridgette Dickson and Lauren Lucas from your PR department. I was amazed with all of the positive things they always had to say about Cornerstone. After being here a month, it is great to see that you truly care about your employees. I read the letter you sent to our office and immediately wrote two notes to individuals that I am thankful for. Thank you so much for your letter and the AWESOME project you asked of us.
Alyson Rossetti, Business Development Manager
I wanted to say “Thank you” so much for the very thoughtful idea [of sending notes to thank others for what they mean to us]. It has inspired me, so I will be sending these two cards out—and others as well—to show my gratitude. The atmosphere that permeates this company is like nothing I have ever experienced before. It really breeds compassion and team work. Thank you again for creating and nurturing that!
As I have said before, you are awesome! I am glad to be here and thankful for a great place with people like we have!
Tim Lombardo, Senior Mortgage Banker
We could not do what we do without the support of our amazing underwriters! A sincere “Thank you” to all of you.
Ryan Leahy, Senior Loan Officer
We do have the very, very BEST underwriters: they are always there to take calls after hours, working on weekends and holidays so we can get our loans closed. Many thanks to all of you!
Elaine Shepperd, Loan Operations
For 21 years I have been blessed to be a part of the Cornerstone family, and this is the reason! We do what we do to be what we are, so on that note “Way to go, underwriters!”
Janelle Carver, Loan Officer
I have to admit, these past three years have changed my life. I thank Cornerstone so much for welcoming me and making me feel like a valued employee.
Joy Agee, Appraisal Coordinator
Posting by the San Antonio Branch’s Builder Division: What a wonderful thing to be in a position to give to others who are less fortunate. The support and donations were more than we ever imagined, and I am truly blessed to be working with people with such giving spirits. Each basket comes with a $25 gift card to HEB for the purchase of the turkey. With 22 baskets, we well exceeded our goal as a branch of 10 families. Because we received names and addresses for 16 families, we still have 6 extra baskets. If you know someone with a family who may be wondering if they can afford a Thanksgiving dinner this year, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you for giving me the opportunity of being a part of a wonderful company, and I hope to invest many more years here at Cornerstone!
Dameion Vital, Commissions Accountant
I feel very blessed to be on board with Cornerstone. Everyone has been fantastic so far. I am eager to make myself a great asset to your team.

I appreciate your taking time out of your busy day to remember me on Year 2. I truly enjoy working here and am grateful that I have been given the opportunity to work for Cornerstone.
Melissa Staller, Senior Loan Officer
Working for Cornerstone continues to be a blessing.
Liz Kundrath, Closing Coordinator
Our entire Secondary TEAM is the BEST in the World! They are always extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful! We saved a deal tonight and, more importantly, helped a large builder relationship. I just wanted to recognize the facts.
Sam Bursch, Senior Loan Officer
To our Processors &Closers: I don't think I have ever had a smoother month of processing, closings, minimal fund-around’s, and minimal OFC’s that allowed us to meet deadlines, etc. amid a state of large volumes and transition (and a little chaos). Amazing! Wow and wow! Hats off to all of you and thank you to the centralized team for being there during our transition. Cindy, you guys [in operations] came to our rescue and made/are making a difference. We'll need you for a little while longer and appreciate your positive attitudes.
Sharla Ellis, Loan Officer
It’s certainly been my pleasure to work with such a great group of folks for the last six years, and I hope to continue a lot longer.
Debbie Wleczyk, Loan Servicing
You are a great leader, Marc. I am so thankful for you and for your commitment to Sales Mastery. I loved being with you guys. I can’t wait to continue to help you and Cornerstone’s dreams come true. Thanks for being there.
Todd Duncan, Sales Mastery Founder
Thank you for your hospitality during our visit out to your Houston Office. What an awesome company you guys have built!
Joe Wiggins, Mortgage Professional
I want to thank you for the opportunity to attend the Sales Mastery Seminar this year. We appreciate your generosity, and you can be sure that we will put our abundance of learning and information to good work. We are very glad that we made the move to Cornerstone and look forward to completing our career here. We so appreciate the culture of the company and are very aware that this comes from the top. I told Todd that I plan to be on that stage five to seven years from now to say what a great ride it has been, and that if you do the right things and work for the right company, you can achieve your dreams. So, in closing, thanks for providing the right company and for making Sales Mastery an extra special event.
John &Cristie Stapp, Production Partners
I am a first-time homebuyer! While I have heard of horror stories regarding other lending companies and their process, Cornerstone blows such myths out of the water. I have experienced the Cornerstone difference firsthand, and I have learned that we really are family! What a wonderful blessing to be able to be provided so with so much!
Erich Hoff, Public Relations
I am frequently impressed with the professionalism and the selfless acts that our support staff at Cornerstone exhibit. I just wanted you [everyone who played a part] to know that it does NOT go unnoticed. Thank you for pulling off yet another impressive ON-TIME CLOSING!
Marla Wynn, Senior Loan Officer
I want to tell you what an incredible experience Cornerstone has been in my life. Thank you for the opportunity you have afforded me.

Bridgette Dickson, Project Manager, PR Department
WOW! How does one say, “Thank you” for a day like yesterday? Thank you so much for all the wonderful gifts from the vendors. I don’t ever remember shopping in my life without looking at the price tag first. Oh, my goodness, all those hugs were fabulous (Surely set a worlds record for me in a day!) It was so much fun seeing everyone. How very generous you are with all of us, especially like yesterday with our great Christmas lunch, bazaar and auction! I am so proud of how our company has grown into a very unique and special company. God is continually blessing us. I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for me personally. It is great to work for a company that cares about us. I love you and your sweet family with all my heart.
Flo McGee, Receptionist
Mr. Laird, I just wanted to let you know that you have an amazing team. I recently closed on the purchase of my home, and I was working with Keith Ward, Maribel Arevalo, and Dane Bigner. This group was wonderful to work with. I work in the real estate industry and have had the opportunity of dealing with dozens of lenders every month. This team outshined them all! First, they beat the other lender I was shopping by over a thousand dollars in fees. Then, despite the circumstances of my transaction (it was a HUD foreclosure), they were able to get my loan done within 2 weeks of receiving the executed contract from the seller (For most lenders I deal with, this would have been impossible given that it was and FHA loan!). Additionally, the seller needed a HUD 48 hours prior to closing, and when they were working the figures, they discovered that I was leaving around $1500 of seller concessions on the table and were able to relock my loan at a lower interest rate, getting new docs to title in time for me to close by my contract date. This also enabled my agent to get the BTSA that was offered because we were able to close before that deadline expired as well. This team’s knowledge, foresight, experience, and professionalism were evident every step of the way, and made what could have been a logistical disaster, a seamless and fluid transaction. I appreciated the empathy that they all exhibited, because although I close loans every day in my profession, I am rarely on the other side and, at times, can forget how hectic and stressful the whole process can be. This team always kept me informed about where my loan was in the process, and this helped assuage any distress on my part. Thank you for your part in creating such a great team. Keith, Maribel, and Dane are a huge asset to your company. I will be referring anyone I come across to Cornerstone Mortgage from now on.
Patty Potter, Escrow Assistant
I have enjoyed my time here and have certainly learned a lot. I appreciate all of the support and assistance we receive from so many departments within Cornerstone. Without that, we would not be able to make things work so beautifully here. Thank you for the opportunity.
Susan R. Eaton, Office Manager
It has been my honor working with this company. I am very happy to be here!
Alejandra Zendejas, Client Care Coordinator
It is certainly a privilege to work with such an amazing team.
Erich Hoff, Public Relations
I am so happy to be part of the Cornerstone Family and hope to be with this company forever.
Karim Lakhani, Closer
I’m glad to be with a wonderful company!
Shay Washington, Payroll Administrator
Thanks for leading a great (great morals and ethics) company.
Dustin Camping, Loan Officer
I can’t say thank you enough for setting up this wonderful program [Cornerstone Cares] for Cornerstone employees. You just made Christmas very bright for a good family. May God continue to bless you and your families, and may He continue to guide this great company
Derek Bolls, Compliance Officer
I feel fortunate to be a part of this group.
Kathy Smith, Underwriter
I am as excited about a new year as I’ve been in a long time – and that includes last year when we were beginning our journey with Cornerstone. Everything that endeared me to Cornerstone when we were looking for a new home in 2010 has come to life and become part of my everyday life. I absolutely love it here! I have worked very hard in 2011 to “re-invent” myself as I’ve moved to a new way of doing business (out of the banking world and into the correspondent world) and have really begun to see some rewards from a production standpoint.
Mike Smalling, Area Manager
I really enjoyed my time in Houston. I continue to be amazed at the happiness level of the employees. What a great place to work! Thank you for the opportunity.
Cathy Stroud
Thank you for the warm welcome and introduction to the Cornerstone family. Just finishing out my second week with the Oklahoma City office, I can easily see why our customers are so impressed with the service provided by Cornerstone. I look forward to being a part of Cornerstone and seeing what successes the future holds! Thanks again.
Kevin Arter, Sr. Processor
Thank you so very much. I do so enjoy working here in this wonderful company that you have built.
Rose Lamb, QuEST Compliance Analyst
Thank you for your leadership and example. I hope to bring you honor to you and Cornerstone in the great opportunity you have provided my team and me. I also hope to develop into a leader of your commitment, consistency and capacity.
Just wanted to take this time to thank you for your exceptional leadership. I am extremely grateful to be part of this amazing company. Looking forward to my next 8 years.
Rocky
Wow. What an honor to work for a company with such great leaders whose ideas show that you are always looking for ways to make our company the place to be!
Donna Dotson, Cornerstone Mortgage Company
Marc, good morning! Thanks for your email - I feel very welcomed and "at home" already settling in to my new company. It is clear that Cornerstone's vision as a company is very much in line with my own values and vision. I feel privileged to be a part of the team and look forward to being a productive, long-term team member. I look forward to meeting you soon. Best Regards,
John W. Burnam, Jr.
Dear Marc, Starting on Monday, I will begin with Cornerstone, and already I see evidence of your vision, energy and perseverance. It has been nothing short of exceptional. Today I am writing to express my gratitude. Everyone I have encountered has exhibited kindness, enthusiasm and a genuine desire to help. Surely this is a reflection of the corporate leadership. In the tomorrows I hope to share, we will celebrate our successes and blessings. Hopefully to the degree we ask why did it take me so long to get here. All My Best!
Don Cadena
Hi, Kim and PR Team – What a wonderful meeting my team had yesterday with your group in Houston! What a classy group you are! We are so excited to hit the ground running and build our volume through consistent and wonderful marketing efforts!! You guys took care of every detail for us – from Bernard transporting us, to flowers in our room, to even handing me a sandwich on my way out the door to the airport last night (that was a big wow factor) – you made us feel so welcome … and, of course, we are so in awe of everyone’s many, many talents and this incredible company. Love you guys – let’s make things happen in a big way for 2010! We are committed, we have a “big, hairy audacious goal” to meet this year … and we know that we cannot fail with you on our side! Thanks, again, from the bottom of my heart!!!
Sharla Ellis
Mr. Laird and Mrs. Belanger, First of all, I want to give God thanks for ordering my steps and for His many blessings. I also want to thank both of you for allowing me to be a part of this excellent, special and blessed company. I will work hard with dedication, loyalty, honesty and integrity in order to “make a positive contribution to the lives of our customers.” I will represent Cornerstone proudly at a very high standard. I will adhere to the Vision Statement and values of Cornerstone. Thanks again and may God continue to richly bless both of you and your families.
Alfonso Ross, Sr. Loan Officer
Marc, I appreciate everything you and Judy have done over the 13 years I have been here! You guys are great mentors. I thank God for you daily.
Keith Ward, Loan Officer
I am very proud to part of a GREAT company. Thank you, Mr. Laird.
Josie McKinny
I gave the generous Cornerstone Cares gift to one of my staff members, and she immediately broke down. It was as if a huge burden had been lifted off of her shoulders. She cried for a long time (I can still hear her sniffling in there). I had to stop this morning and thank God for this company, for all of you on this committee, and for Marc and Judy’s foresight to set up a program such as this so that we can assist people when they need it the most. Thank you. That gesture means so much to the recipient and to me.
D.B.
Thank you. I am proud to be part of the Cornerstone Family I remember your telling me 19 years ago that I would not be bored with my job. Boy, that statement was more truthful than either of us would have guessed!
Becky Smith, Sr. Loan Officer
Marc; Thank you for the Welcome e-mail and the Cornerstone Story. I joined this industry because of divine guidance many years ago, and so I really appreciated reading your history and story. Over the past dozen years in this industry, in both originating and managing, I have worked for some very large and—what I thought were—great companies. Only now do I truly feel at home, however, knowing that Cornerstone was and is a destination for me. Thank you again for your warm welcome and vision. Sincerely,
Dave
Hi Marc, Thank you for your kind words. I have never worked for a better company than Cornerstone! I am truly happy here and plan to stay for many more years!
Jeni Beecher
Marc, our underwriter, and I were talking the other day about the culture here. He was in shock about something, and I said that I couldn’t fathom being anywhere else and wished there were a way I could get our recruits to actually experience the culture rather than simply hear us talk about it. Funny that most of us go about business everyday and take for granted the awesome gift we have been given in this flourishing garden that you so diligently tilled, planted and groomed for so many years before we arrived. Know that there is a whole group of frozen Minnesotans that get it and are truly honored to be a part of the Cornerstone family. Have an excellent day and thank you again for all you’ve done and continue to do each day.
Carrie Guarrero, Sr. Loan Officer
TO: The Closers of Cornerstone Mortgage Company. A HUGE thank you for navigating us through one of the most difficult times our industry has been (and is) experiencing. Your hard work and commitment to protecting our company is most appreciated.
Marc Laird
Hi Marc, Just got the birthday gift and card. Thanks very much. I’m honored to work for your company!
John Schutze
Good Morning, Marc &Judy, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your efforts and support for our 1st annual talent competition. I had a wonderful time and felt like I made many new friends. I am so lucky to work for a company that cares about its employees and treats us like family. I look forward to our future as we grow into the most successful company in the country. Thank You,
Jason
Marc, I want to both thank you for providing such an amazing company to work for and tell you how truly blessed I feel to be a part of Cornerstone Mortgage. With much appreciation and thanks,
Kristi Lester
I wanted to say thank you to the both of you for allowing such a great company to have an opportunity for such a great production conference. It was a privilege for me to attend, and I’m so thankful to have met both of you face-to-face, much less enjoy a dinner together! It was really a wonderful time and I cherish meeting face to face people I work with on a daily basis. Thank you so much,
Necole Jacobs
Thank you for the wonderful Operations Conference I was privileged to attend this past weekend everyone was so wonderful, and the information I received during the conference was greatly appreciated (and the Wii door prize was pretty awesome, too!) I am very blessed to work for such a fantastic company. Thank you again,
Nicole Blair
Marc, thank you so much for an amazing conference—it was very rewarding!
Tessie
Marc, the conference was fantastic! I loved the wonderful presentations, making new friends and seeing old ones, and just having fun.
Lucy
Thank you, Marc. You always make me feel so good to work at Cornerstone!
Colleen
The conference was wonderful, enriching and rewarding on both a personal and a professional level. Thank you for making Cornerstone such a wonderful company to work for.
Béné
I wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your allowing us to come together at the 3rd annual Operations Conference. Not only do we get to see the people we talk to daily, we come back with new and improved ideas/guidelines that will help us perform our jobs in a uniform manner. It is always great to be able to talk to others to find out how they handle certain situations and to be able to answer questions they might ask of us, questions they wouldn’t normally ask during the course of their busy day. And, most importantly, as hard as we work during the normal course of business, to kick back and have fun is so refreshing. Just to let you know, we appreciate all you do for us! Thank you again!
Nancy Flory
Hi Marc and Judy, I just wanted to say thanks for the Ops Conference. And, special kudos to Diana and Julie for an exceptional job in planning and execution. I could tell from the first week I started that Cornerstone had something special – it is your people! Thanks,
Doug Brown
Marc and Judy: I would like to thank you so much for giving all of the operations people a chance to get together to network and continue our education. I was able to bring 18 employees (from The Woodlands, Houston Memorial, Austin, Mississippi, Georgia) to Houston and offer them tools that they can take back and share with their respective offices. As a manager, I try to visit all my offices at least once a year in order to have that personal connection. Bringing them to Houston allows them to meet other employees that they normally talk to only through email and over the phone. Putting a face with the voice is so important. Thank you for letting me be the voice and face of Cornerstone Mortgage Company. The 2010 Ops Conference was awesome!
Kim McGee
Just wanted to take the time to send you a “Thank You” for the Operations Conference this past weekend. It was enjoyable and provided a lot of good information! I always enjoy these conferences and love having the opportunity to meet people from other offices that we communicate with but don’t always necessarily know personally. It helps having a chance to put a face to someone we work with outside of our own office. I look forward to our conferences in the future. Thanks for providing us an opportunity such as this to come together for the betterment of ourselves and Cornerstone Mortgage Company. Tammie Dobrinski Thank you for the anniversary greeting. I would like to compliment you on creating a very pleasant work environment.
Deborah Berry
Good morning, Thank you for putting on the event last night. It was very nice, and yes, Cornerstone does have talent!
Paula Metzler, Sr. Loan Processor
Thanks so much, I had a great time, and everyone did such a wonderful job! I am honored to be a part of this family! You guys are fabulous! Thanks so much!
Paula Barksdale
Mr. Laird, I want to thank you for the opportunity that I have been given at Cornerstone. I was in another business for 15 years, working for the same company, before making the jump to World Savings 7 years ago. Well, you know all about what happened … first with Wachovia and Wells. Now, I’m here with a deep appreciation of this exciting, new financial career. It is not often the Chairman and CEO takes time out of his very busy day to send an email to a new guy, but this is how it has been for me since Day One at Cornerstone. Once again, I am very happy to be here and will work 110% for you and your company every day. Sincerely,
AL Litzler
Mr. Laird, I just received my welcome package, and all I can say is WOW! I have worked for Cornerstone Mortgage for 19 business days now, and, in that time I have been so welcomed by everyone here. Everyone from whom I have asked help has done so with such a patient heart and sincerity that it has really taken me aback. I have formed relationships here that I would already consider friendships. The almost daily emails from management regarding tips on FHA, RESPA updates, etc. have left an impression that Cornerstone cares for its employees and that it fosters an environment of learning and constant professional growth. The end of the month was also refreshing: when my team and I had loans that were down to the wire, David and Kathy came over and asked what was closing, what was outstanding on each loan, and, most importantly, how they could help us get our loans clear to close. Even after I made the decision to work for Cornerstone, I was excited but hesitant. I was not leaving a job where I was unhappy or one in which I did not get along with my boss or co workers: I left because Cornerstone is a more established company that offers better benefits and is closer to my home. In other words, I left for all the logical reasons. I can truly say now, without hesitation, that I have made a wonderful choice. I feel that I have found my home away from home. This is a truly caring company in every aspect. It’s the little things that I have experienced here that have left me with a big impression, and I feel that, like everything else, these kindnesses trickle down from top management. The attitudes and work ethics of the people here all stem from you, Mr. Laird, and that says a lot. I have had a wonderful experience in my short employment here, and I hope to be an integral part of Cornerstone and its success in the future. Thank you for all you do,
Jackie Aguilar
Marc, Quick note to say “Thank you” for your leadership and management of Cornerstone. You and Judy have done a fabulous job of being proactive, not only allowing us to survive in a tough environment but actually flourish!
Mike Krautz, Loan Officer
Thank you for taking the leap 22 years ago and starting Cornerstone! What a tremendous company you have built – you should be so proud!! I appreciate both you and Judy and the opportunity to work with you at Cornerstone.
Julie
Hello Marc, Thank you very much for the welcome message. I can already tell that the word Family is not just being thrown around here. In my first few days, I have been in contact with representatives from Secondary, PR, UW support, and IT. Each person took the time needed to address my initial question and extended his/her assistance with any related issues going forward. Great first impressions! I look forward to expanding Cornerstone’s presence in the Pacific NW.
D Walsh
Marc, always know that you have my utmost respect and thankfulness. I continue to pray for the Lord’s powerful inspiration and wise direction through you for the plans that He has for Cornerstone. He goes before us and behind us, and hems us in. He alone is our standard, and never changes. He is our Rock, our proverbial “cornerstone”!
Sandy
Thanks so very much for all your support! This year I have grown so much as a professional, and it feels so great to be a part of such an amazing organization. Thanks again. I look forward to many years to come.
K Tautenhahn, Sr. Loan Officer
Realizing I’m a couple days late, I still wanted to tell you three how grateful I am to be a part of the continued Cornerstone Story. I’m glad you all had the courage to do what you did 22 years ago. Thank you for your honor and your commitments! Happy (belated) Anniversary to you! Blessings,
Carrie
Marc, Thank you. I have felt very welcome since my return last week. Everyone in Houston has been tremendously helpful and responsive. It’s great to see the same names and hear the same voices I knew so well from the last time around. Makes me feel welcome and confirms that this was no doubt the right choice. To our success!
Matt
Thank you for your support. Thank you for allowing us to play a role on your team. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to use our gifts. I am grateful for our partnership and our friendship Marc. Just wanted to make sure you knew.
Daniel
Marc, Thank you so much for the warm welcome. We already feel that we are part of the family and are so excited by this new beginning. I loved your [Cornerstone] story, and, as you already know, am a firm believer in God's hand in our lives. I have received many "signs" that we are in the right place, and want you to know how blessed I feel.
Angela
Hi Marc, I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to be back at Cornerstone. I know that the Beliefs &Values that you helped create for Cornerstone are the difference between living a life of going through the motions versus a life lived with purpose. I know I will help bring value to Cornerstone, but I just wanted to say thank you for creating a place for people like me that are looking for a place to “improve upon our God-given talents and make a positive contribution” to those with whom we come into contact. Thank you
K Francis
Hi Marc, I just want to say thank you for the gift card. What a great surprise! I can't believe it has been ten years—it certainly has gone by quickly. I love working for you and Cornerstone: you have an awesome company that doesn't compare to others. I feel fortunate to be a part of this organization. Thank you again.
S Noebel
I can’t begin to thank all of you enough for the job that you did in introducing (or reintroducing) Cornerstone to our group in Colorado. I’m so proud to be associated with such a special group of people!!!
G Humphries
Marc, Thanks for the nice email. I truly feel blessed to work with everyone at Cornerstone. Thank you and Judy for building such a unique and special company. With our platform, support system and family atmosphere, I am excited about helping Cornerstone grow with the right people. Thank you,
Trey
Thank you so much ! I really enjoy working here it is a wonderful company to be a part of. Thanks once again.
Heather
Thank you for making this such an awesome company to work for.
J Vinson
Thank you Marc. I appreciate the information, and I’m excited to learn more about Cornerstone. I have to say that so far the Cornerstone employees that I have worked with have been fantastic. I’m excited to come to Houston to meet more of the employees. Thank you,
S Young
Marc, I can’t tell you how excited I am about this move. At every step so far, we have been met with open arms from your gang. On-boarding new people, in my opinion, is a critical component to creating the atmosphere that projects a “family” work environment. Thus far, with only small hiccups, our transition has happened seamlessly. This speaks volumes of you and your management team.
Don Ziegler
I am very proud to be a part of this organization. Cornerstone makes me feel like family, and I can say I am truly excited about coming to work every day!
Susan
I really feel privileged to be a part of Cornerstone Mortgage, and I wish for many more years!
Amy
I want to thank you so much for the fabulous time at Lake Tahoe for the Top Producers Trip! We were spoiled, pampered, and enjoyed the amazing accommodations, food and attention to every detail. The Cornerstone “family” is composed of such wonderful individuals! I enjoyed getting to know more of them and spending time with those who have already become friends. Thank you for your leadership, your vision, your encouragement and support. You mean so much to both Dean and me, and we are blessed to be a part of Cornerstone.
Sue Johnson
I am so excited to be a part of this company and wonder, “Why did I not come sooner?” God’s timing is always right on time, however. Thank you for making our company such a wonderful work place. I love Cornerstone.
Connie
I feel Blessed &Honored &Very Privileged to work for Cornerstone! Thank You for your excellent Leadership of this Company.
Robin Boyd
Gentleman: I just finished viewing the videos that Jay sent me this afternoon. My wife and her parents sat down and watched them, and, needless to say, we were all very impressed. My mother-in-law, who has been involved in wealth management for the past 35 years, told me she had tingles while watching the videos and felt as though I may have found my home. I, too, was extremely attracted to what I saw, and what truly amazes me is that the values I have built MY business upon are so perfectly in sync with those of Cornerstone’s! For the past 8 years I have attempted to make customer satisfaction; consistent contact for life through valuable lines of communication with clients; honesty; integrity; and being a man of my word my top priorities for producing success in the mortgage industry. I have desired to make those my cornerstones, all while working in an environment that stifles them on a daily basis and with no support system to speak of. It seems as though the Lord has been preparing me every step of the way for this opportunity. If I ultimately decide to make the switch, and if you decide I would be a good fit, I see limitless levels to which I will be able to take my career. I feel extremely positive about this opportunity thus far but will continue to do my research and look forward to a follow up meeting next week. After realizing what Cornerstone is truly all about, I am completely honored that I am even being considered for a position in your company. Thank you for the time you have spent with me and thank you for the opportunity to learn more about Cornerstone.
Loan Officer Candidate
Working at Cornerstone is almost as much a calling as it is an opportunity.
Dean
I wanted to thank you for the birthday card and blanket. I had a great impression of Cornerstone before I started with the company, but now as an employee, it’s even better. All of the people are great and so helpful and warm. I’ve very much enjoyed my first couple of months.
Jeanette Rodriguez
Thank you for the welcome. I am definitely looking forward to growing with the Cornerstone Family! It has been a fairly painless transition thus far, and I know it has every bit to do with the people we are surrounded by!
Dawn Couch
It is an honor to be part of the Cornerstone family. Thank you for making it such a great place to be.
Jennifer
I love my job, I love working with my Team, and I’m honored to be a part of the Cornerstone Mortgage Family.
CAR
Thanks for all that you do to make us feel welcome and special. I love working here and hope to be here for a long time!
Guy
Marc, Thank you for sending us this [Cornerstone] story. It helps to know that I am a part of something “bigger” than myself, as well as an endeavor that God obviously has ordered and directed. As a former pastor—I had no idea about your faith before coming on board—I know that I am in the right place. I feel that God has directed my path here. Thanks for being “unashamed” and for providing this opportunity for all of us.
Britt Little
Cornerstone is definitely a company like no other, and I am delighted to be a part of it.
Brenda Hatfield
Cornerstone has provided a wonderful experience thus far, and I plan to be one of those names that show up celebrating his 10 and 20-year anniversary. I have never worked for a company that has such a tremendous sense of family, unity and stability. This is a great environment to come to every day.
Mario Giraldo
Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I am very happy to be back in the family here at Cornerstone and see God working in my life to make this happen. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't already aware of the special people (and I'm meeting more of them every day.
Katrina Hightower
I have loved every year during my tenure here. Thank you for having a loving, caring, Christian environment to work in.
Tammy
I enjoy my job and love this company. I am truly honored to be a part of such a great organization.
Kim Lee
This was my first full week back in the office [after losing my dad]. I reminded myself how sincere your concern and condolences were and recalled the outpouring of support I have received from everyone at Cornerstone. It truly is a family environment, and to have the CEO of one of the largest mortgage banks in the nation recognize me, an employee from a different branch, really speaks volumes for the kind of company this is. And this isn’t an employee just brown-nosing the CEO about how great the company is: this is me saying, man to man, “Thank you for the support.” It’s truly comforting to know that not only are your friends and family there for you but even your company is just as sincerely by your side during this time.
Blake Mahon
I am very happy to be part of the team! I could not ask for a better place to be!
Kristie Ozuna
I absolutely love this company!
Monica Henderson
Thank you so very much for the gift card. It is an honor to be part of the Cornerstone team, and I am thankful every day that I have a job that I truly enjoy and look forward to going to each and every day. I couldn’t ask for a better employer. Your compassion for your employees is something you don’t see a lot anymore, and I am blessed to be a part of it.
Theresa Steinkamp
It feels good to be with a great company that has great values and truly cares about its employees. I truly feel appreciated here and look forward to continuing on with Cornerstone for many years to come.
Jessica Jaksha
Thank you for remembering my BIG anniversary, Marc! The years have flown by - with, as life goes, ups and downs along the way - but time [that I have spent here at Cornerstone is time] that I wouldn't have changed for anything else. It has been a blessing to be a part of Cornerstone. I so appreciate the journey together -
Gail
Thank you so much for this email – the story of how Cornerstone began is inspiring. I am very happy to be a part of the team. Being here is an answer to my prayers, and I am so very glad to have this position.
Kathy Cole
For me it has been a inspiring to work somewhere that has the same core beliefs that I do. It is also humbling to be led by individuals that understand and live with a spirit of gratitude for all the blessings this life has to offer. Thank you for creating an environment that allows us to express what is on our hearts and souls as well as our minds here at work.
Elizabeth
I really enjoy working for Cornerstone. I honestly believe there isn’t a better place!
Lana Ewing
In all my years, I have never worked for a company that has shown its employees how much they take the time to really think about us. I consider myself so lucky that this is the first company I interviewed and was hired at on my move here. I want to thank everyone involved who extended this [donation for assistance with hospital bills] to me. I really can’t even express how touched I am (and believe me when I tell you I am usually not at a loss for words)!
Lisa
Thank you, Marc, for the kind words and it’s been both an honor and a privilege to work for Cornerstone. I look forward to many more years of service here.
J Baisden
Thank you so very much for the personal welcome to the company. I am happy to be here. Everyone that I have encountered has been extremely nice and eager to help. I acquainted myself with the origin of the company and the Vision Statement on my first day. It makes me proud to be a part of the company. I am looking forward to being here for many years to come.
F Seberry
I wanted to thank you for the birthday card and present and for you and all of the team making me and my Branch feel welcome. You all do a wonderful job of making us feel important and I know we made the right decision joining this great organization. We look forward to many years of fun and excitement with you all.
T Beck
Marc! I have been here a little over a week, but everyone I’ve spoken with and have come across is so genuinely nice and so supportive. It just feels overwhelmingly great being here, and I very much enjoyed yours and Judy’s story.
K Hoang
I must say that using Cornerstone Lending has been a dream. I cannot remember in recent memory having dealt with a nicer more cooperative group of people. The funder on this file has been so accessible and genuinely nice which is a rarity these days.
L Padelford-Garcia
It’s has been a wonderful experience working here at your company. Every time I proudly tell someone I work for Cornerstone Mortgage – in particular, to the ones in this business – they say “Cornerstone is a great company to work for!”
Sayure
First and foremost – thank you Marc and Judy for the investment you are making in the lives of your Cornerstone family, but also, and just as important, in those of our partners.
R Eickhoff
As a production person I want to tell you how much I appreciate your commitment to customer service. This is very impressive. Is it all right to send this e-mail out to my agent to show your commitment to them?
Lisa Kassuba
I walk into the office today with a new perspective on the relationship with my referral partners and true understanding of “going deep”. On Friday Steve &James presented the “Filter” to a group of nearly 50 agents, and the response was amazing. The message they delivered was clear and passionate. The process of reaching out and reconnecting with my referral partners was very empowering for me: this event is a catalyst for change in my business and, inevitably, for me personally. I am grateful and proud to be a part of a company that cares so much about their employees, customers, referral partners, and community. Thank you for making a difference.
N Chahine
Compliance is an extremely important service to our company, and Cornerstone’s QUEST is the most production-friendly group in our industry. On behalf of our Regional Managers and Loan Officers, I want to sincerely express our appreciation for the stellar job you and your team have done helping our Loan officers and their assistants through the licensing processes. Thanks for your support of our loan production teams, and our commitment to loan quality and customer satisfaction. You continue to amaze us all!
Marc Laird
I have been here for two months now and wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate the values of this company. I am excited about our upcoming Building Champions session here locally.
A Storteboom
I just wanted to say thank you and let you know how much I really like this company. This company truly puts family first. Coming [here] from a huge company that did not put family first is a breath of fresh air, and I am proud to say I work at Cornerstone Mortgage.
Petrina
I just received a Cookie Basket for my 5th anniversary w/ the company. Thank You both! That was such a nice surprise: I was totally taken off guard. You both continue to do nice things for your employees, and, I greatly appreciate it. I look forward to many more years with the company.
S Cooney
I wanted to let you know my experience with the company so far has been outstanding. The training, helpfulness and hospitality of everyone I have come in contact with so far has been spot on! It is a breath of fresh air to finally work for a company that appreciates its employees, and shows it in everything they do. I am thankful for this opportunity.
B Wells
Thank you [for the anniversary greeting]. I still feel blessed being here everyday.
D Ellis
I just wanted to send you a quick thank you for putting together the Building Champions seminar in Northern Colorado for us. We attended it this morning and REALLY enjoyed it. It really was some great information, and the guys were great speakers! In this crazy world, it is nice to go to something like that to remind us of those daily things we need to be grateful for and to keep success coming in our lives. Again, thank you very much for such a great opportunity and benefit!
Julie J.
Truthfully, it has been a great 5 years, and I look forward to the next 5. I just want to thank you both for the generous gift I received from you two this morning. You don’t know how much this means to me. I have never worked for a company where I felt so appreciated. Thank you so much [not only] for the signs of appreciation but mostly for the opportunity to work for such an outstanding company.
R Johnson
Thank you guys SOOOO much [for the anniversary gift card]! You are so precious. I am always reminded of how lucky I am to work here!
Lana Clary
I really appreciate both of you for allowing me the opportunity to work for such a wonderful company. Thank you for the gifts. They brought tears to my eyes because I felt so appreciated and recognized. No other company can come close to Cornerstone Mortgage Company. I work with some wonderful people and feel very blessed each and every day for having everyone in my life. My commitment is to Cornerstone and the customers I work with on a daily basis. My goal is to make their dreams come true when it comes to their mortgage needs. Cornerstone gives me the ability to do that, and the reward is the happiness that emanates from their warm smiles and thank you’s. I am truly blessed and I look forward to working for many more years to come.
L Olgin
Thank you very much for the gift card. It’s always nice to know that we [as employees] are appreciated. It’s nice to know that Cornerstone lives by its Mission Statement.
R Jenkins
I received the lovely surprise of an American Express gift card this morning for Employee Appreciation Day. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and recognition!
L Bernal
I’ve never been associated with a company and managers that appreciate and support their employees the way you two do.
J Ballard, Senior Vice President
I am so sorry that I have not thanked you sooner. It’s just been a very busy month (or more)! But truly, the past three years with Cornerstone have been an absolute pleasure and joy for me! I look forward to the next three years, plus so many more.
Jackie W.
I am truly grateful to be working w/such a great company. Thank you for making this anniversary extra special
Deanne Castillo
My husband and I recently closed on a home that your staff assisted us with the financing at Cornerstone Mortgage Company. We could not believe that such a team of people still existed in this world. We have sold and bought homes for the last 36 years, and we had never ever had the type of help your staff gave us. There are not words to describe what a super staff you have. These ladies went over and beyond the call of duty. You guys are the BEST in TEXAS.
J &L Hernandez
Seriously, I have huge admiration for the way you run this company.
Harold
I am so glad I made the decision to join Cornerstone last April. God has blessed me with such a unique opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful culture. I want to keep a never ending “attitude of gratitude” in everything I do at work. Thanks for your leadership,
Chris
Thank you so much for my birthday present and card. It was so thoughtful of you to remember me since I have only been here about 7 weeks. It is such a pleasure to work for a company that appreciates its employees and tells them on a daily basis. I hope to be here for many years to come.
S Richard
I have not had the pleasure of meeting you as I am a new employee as of May 3rd. I currently have my office at The Woodlands branch but hope to move to new office facilities in Kingwood next week. I will be joining my “family”: we have worked together for 10+years. I wanted to thank you for the funny birthday card and the gift. I have never before received personal recognition of my birthday from the CEO of a large company. It is quite unusual and another indication of the quality of co-workers I have joined.
K.D. Sword
You have made a wonderful decision with Cornerstone – they are an absolutely awesome company. I have known Marc Laird and Judy Belanger for many years, and you cannot find a better Leadership group anywhere!
Jackie A, Managing Director - Mortgage Services
It has definitely been both positive and profitable [to be here at Cornerstone], and I’m thankful everyday that we are here. I don’t think we would be in this position had we not come on board. Thank you for your help in getting us here, and, hopefully, we’ll continue growing with Cornerstone for a long time.
Nick
I can't believe it's already been 3 years with Cornerstone! Best decision we've ever made. I don't think there is any other way we'd be where we are now otherwise. I always knew this was a great place, but this spring I found out just how special it is to be part of the Cornerstone Family. The outpouring of genuine support I received during the darkest hours of my life really made me feel that this is home. I can't imagine ever being anywhere else.
Blake
It is hard to believe I have worked a combined 13 years for Cornerstone. It is such a great place to be, and it is an honor to work for you. Thank you for all of your help and confidence this year. You have helped me grow as an employee and as a person.
S Harris
I wanted to thank you for the gift card last month. I decided to pass it on and used it to sponsor my sister-in-law’s “Relay for Life” team for the local Lakeville Relay For Life coming up later this month. Kind of fun to know that the gift you gave keeps giving and will help the cancer battle. It was fun to be able to give a donation and not have to worry about how to budget it!
N Fredrickson
I can sincerely say that I love my job and I am very thankful for the opportunity to be a part of Cornerstone.
C Dent-Pullen
[This has been] a fantastic year for me, and there is nowhere else I’d rather be.
W Larson
I am excited to finally be here and be a part of the Cornerstone Family. My sister, who is now retired, was a part of Cornerstone and is so complimentary of both you and Judy that this feels very “right” for me. Thank you again for the “Welcome aboard.”
N Saliba
I am a new employee in Louisiana, and I love the company. What an awesome company! I am glad to be a part of it.
P Gaudet
I am very happy to be at your company. I have been in the mortgage industry since 1990, and I do not like to change companies. I was very unhappy with the customer service that I was able to offer at our previous company (I was there for just under two years and nine years at the company prior). Our whole office was familiar with our new manager, and she and several others have gone out of their way to help us re-establish ourselves. Thank you for structuring a company that I am proud to be a part of.
S Place
I think that this is a truly amazing company and I am blessed to be part of it. I have filled out the authorization form to be a part of the Cornerstone Cares program. I pledge to increase my contribution as my production and income increase. Thanks for letting me work here!
J Levenson
I just wanted to thank you guys for everything! You all have been a pleasure to work with and so very helpful in every way! You guys made what could be a very confusing and somewhat complicated process a breeze. Working with people that can answer the many questions that come up and do it so that it actually is understandable is priceless! I will recommend you guys to anybody and everybody in the future! Thanks again
K Pittman, a satisfied customer
It’s becoming more evident that we [Cornerstone] are a known, local lender that is turning more “Houses into Homes” and only see our volume ever so growing in our market and the market share likewise. Thank you all for your support and patience in allowing our Team to explore other opportunities for mortgage financing with CMC in this troubling housing debacle. Without your support it would be a very difficult undertaking.
B Smith
Thank you! I LOVE my job!!!
K Wesley
Thanks also for your message last evening - we are blessed to be a part of such a great family of friends.
Gene H
I really do feel blessed being giving the opportunity to work for such a great company and great people around me.
Nedal
Thank You so much. I really love working with this company. Everyone here makes you feel like family.
T Fisher
You guys are pretty amazing and never stop impressing me. I’ve never seen a culture even close to Cornerstone’s. I had forgotten how much I miss working closely with you.
C Klein
I haven’t had the opportunity to meet you or Judy, but your love and care for my family during this past year in multiple venues have not gone unnoticed. I am truly blessed to be working for such a wonderful spirit filled establishment and I am honored to work for and with you. I look forward to many more years of financial and spiritual prosperity.
H DeWitt
Thank you for sharing the Cornerstone Story. It was reassuring to learn my first week at Cornerstone that it was recognized in the Top 100 places to be employed in Houston by the Chronicle, but the Cornerstone Story allowed me to learn a bit more about those that founded and lead this organization. What a great story about following divine inspiration, staying focused, exercising faith and courage! I’m excited to be here and am confident that this was a good move for me and my family.
E Cruz
Thanks Marc. I really appreciate it. Being here has far exceeded my expectations coming in.
D Scott
It has been my pleasure to work with such great company and Team Support.
G Martinez
I truly enjoy and appreciate Cornerstone. It is a great company. Thank you for your kind words of acknowledgment.
D Daley
I am thrilled that Houston citizens are going to learn what we already know at CMC! Both you and the company ARE THE BEST.
THE NEWHARD TEAM
Congratulations to you and Judy! This award naming Cornerstone as a Top 100 Workplace in the Houston area is a well deserved award! 19+ years and still going strong with you guys.
Becky
Congratulations, Marc. This is a wonderful company that you and Judy should be proud of.
B McClellan
We as agents don’t make any money if we don’t have a loan officer that knows the financing end. In today’s challenging market, I wish that all my clients would use Cornerstone. Again, I wanted to thank you and your company for doing an outstanding job.
P Cao, CDPE
Thank you so much for the birthday card and blanket. It was very thoughtful of you to remember me on my big day. Especially when someone as busy as you takes the time to personally acknowledge me on my special day, it reminds me why I love working here so much. It’s not just a job but my work family.
M Staller
Thank you, Marc. I am looking forward to many more [anniversary] milestones! I am truly blessed to have such an awesome company to work for.
S Maxwell
Thank you for providing such a wonderful company to work for. I’m more than happy to continue contributing to the success of Cornerstone for years to come.
V Parish
A customer just called the corporate office, wanting us to know that the service he received was EXCEPTIONAL! He raved about our loan officer’s professionalism, sense of urgency, and courtesy. He had many more kind words, but the most telling was his comment, “If I had 10 people like [this individual] in my company, what a difference it would make in the service I could deliver to my customers!” I have truly enjoyed being here the last three years and I looked forward to growing with my Cornerstone family for many more years to come God Bless you.
Janie
Thank you so much for sending out such motivating emails. It is very rare in the mortgage business to find positive and motivating emails being sent out to the entire company. It is very much indicative of what you do and how you keep your employees (the Cornerstone family) motivated and thinking positive.
D Guillochon
I truly love my job and Cornerstone!
D Cutler
As a new employee working in the Dallas office, I have to tell you how impressed I am to be a part of this company. I have been here for 3 weeks and have already seen the commitment Cornerstone has to its employees and customers. Accolades to a fine management!
C Lindhart
I can’t believe I have been here 7 years: time flies when you work with such great people and a great company!
C Avila-Ha
Thank you so much for the birthday card and gift. It is such a blessing to receive a happy birthday wish from Corporate. May God Bless you always for your kindness to your employees. This really means a lot to me.
P Castro
I’m writing this to commend a key member of your team. Joe is a great person to work with. As you know, I have many opportunities to reconcile issues regarding LO commissions, loan fees, HUD cures, and, most significantly, Branch P&L hits. In nearly all cases, my needs are time-sensitive and require a sense of urgency to meet payroll deadlines, month end, or to satisfy an irate LO/branch manager. When I need information, Joe’s “will do” attitude means I’ll always get it much sooner than later. I have no doubt that Joe’s work ethic combined with his commitment to excellence has saved our company money. Joe is also very respectful to others and represents a shining example of your department’s professionalism. Joe sets a high standard of cooperation and commitment to serve for others to see. He makes my job easier!
David B.
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to send me a card and present for my birthday. I have never worked for a company where the owner is so hands-on and thoughtful of his employees. Thanks for giving me a place to go and work each day.
A Litzler
I haven’t had the opportunity to meet you or Judy but your love and caring for my family during this past year in multiple venues has not gone unnoticed. I am truly blessed to be working for such a wonderful spirit filled establishment and I am honored to work for and with you. I look forward to many more years of financial and spiritual prosperity. Thanks for the email
H DeWitt
I really do feel blessed being given the opportunity to work for such a great company and [with such] great people around me.
N Khoury
Thanks also for your message last evening. Both Susan and I are appreciative of your thoughts and prayers and the unwavering support of all at Cornerstone. We are blessed to be a part of such a great family of friends.
Gene
I’ve been in the mortgage business for years … enough time to not be easily surprised. But you did it! Amy and I each received a FedEx package yesterday (about 1 week into our tenure with Cornerstone). We were each pleased and surprised to find a thoughtful welcome gift from our new employer. There you go – a completely new experience for both of us. Oh my! WELL DONE! Thank you all. What a pleasant way to start what I’m sure will be a long and mutually profitable/enjoyable relationship.
R &A Cavender
It is a joy to work with Cornerstone. I look forward to many more years!
Suzanne
It helps to know that the world still has honest, dedicated people of integrity who genuinely care about people in places that impact the livelihood of citizens.
L Williams
Thank you for taking the time to send a personal note. I am not surprised though – Cornerstone’s attitude toward its employees is one of the things that makes it such a great company. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year already. Congratulations on staying ahead of the curve on all the regulatory and compliance issues that have been coming our way faster and faster. I know it takes a tremendous commitment of time and manpower to keep us ahead of the competition. Thanks also for your Cornerstone Cares program. It recently helped one of our co-workers here at our office and made a huge difference at a tough time.
D Brown
I plan on more years to come with CMC! We appreciate your patience and CMC for allowing us to work through our shortfalls in this tough economy to figure out our next move.
B Smith
I just want to thank you so much for sending me this beautiful journal for my birthday, and what a funny card! I am just blown away by how “in touch” you are with your company and its employees. I really love my new Cornerstone family and am so glad to be here!
C Dupuis
Thanks for the note! I always tout Cornerstone as being a great company to work for and have had a great year!
S Walters, Loan Processor
I just wanted to send you a thank you email for the journal book &card sent to me for my birthday! I love it and it really touched my heart to work for someone and a company that is so thoughtful! Thank you so much…it is just what I needed!!
S Trahan, Loan Operations
I just received the special stone with a note from the two of you in regards to the Cornerstone Care Fund. I wanted to take a minute to tell you thank you for the [inscribed]stone and also for my job. I feel truly blessed to be able to work at such a remarkable company.
D Rivera, Loan Operations
Thank you so much [for the anniversary greeting], I am very glad to be here and thank God for this great, new experience.
L Hufstader, Loan Processor
I have to tell you that I have been well taken care of by everyone so far. I was very impressed by how quickly the guys had me set up. I know what an opportunity I have to make an impact here, and I intend to work as hard as I can to take full advantage. I am honored to be here, to be working under Julie, and I look forward to proving you guys right for choosing me for the job.
M Belanger, Manager
I just wanted to say thank you for the very warm welcome that I have received when coming to work here at Cornerstone. The values that this company holds are a breath of fresh air and something that you do not find in many companies today. I look forward to using my talents for such a wonderful company.
R Poehl, IT
I truly have enjoyed my three years at Cornerstone. It is a great company, and I appreciate the many opportunities here for growth, [not only] for the company but also for myself.
J Gallagher, Accounting
As Tom Peters (author of In Search of Excellence) made his presentation today, I could not help but note the similarity of his presentation ideas to your view of Cornerstone. I know the idea of your employee being the number one client is a philosophy which is dear to your heart. Pretty simple stuff really … Help your employees help their clients, and all will be rewarded. Congratulations to you both on the success of Cornerstone Mortgage Company!
L Charbonneau, Industry Consultant
It is hard to believe I have been with CMC for five years: it has gone so fast! I am truly blessed to work for such a wonderful company. I have had a great five years as regional operations manager and look forward to many more fine years as a loan officer. I appreciate the opportunities I have been given. Thank you for creating an amazing company that I am proud to be a part of.
J Freeze-Skret, Loan Officer
I am quite impressed at how well this company treats its employees.
C Colantonio, Loan Officer
This is an awesome company to work for – I love being here. You and the Cornerstone family are so generous and have been so supportive over this past year. You can never know how much it means to Scott and me. Thank you again for making coming to work so enjoyable.
D McClennen, Administrattion
I love working at Cornerstone and with Sharla. She is amazing, and this company is amazing. It's really nice to be recognized.
T Jueschke, Loan Processor
Once again I am a proud of being part of this! Thank you!
M Gonzalez, Loan Processor
I am a blessed to be a part of the Cornerstone team.
G DeMarois, Loan Processor
I genuinely enjoy working for this company and I’m proud to be a member of the team.
Jordan Shows, Appraisal Coordinator/ Quest
I just started with Cornerstone, had my first closing yesterday, one today and am thrilled I made my decision to move out of the Broker community to Cornerstone. The support I’ve received from my team members is incredibly impressive. Your email [re: the Employee Assistance Program] is very generous as well and shows the strength of your leadership in taking care of your people. I appreciate that.
Megan McDonald, Mortgage Branch Manager
Wow! This is amazing. Thank you Marc! Just when I think we can’t get any better…..The wonderful changes that Cornerstone makes gives me hope and helps me remember just how blessed I am.
Paula Barksdale, Secondary Marketing Pricing and Product Manager
Marc, Thank you so much for always caring about all of us. This is great.
Flo McGee, Receptionist
I just want to say, “Thank You.” I hung up with one of our LIP’s (loans in process) about ten minutes ago, and we talked for an hour, mostly about why I love this industry, my job, and my company (He owns a very successful consulting firm and travels the world to tell companies what they need to do to grow their market share and become more successful). By the end of our conversation he offered me a job, but only if I left my current situation b/c he said he knows how much of an impact I make every day (happy tears in my eyes). And then I read this email you sent [re: the Employee Assistance Program], and I was overwhelmed with gratitude. I don’t need any of the services below, and I hope I never do …But I appreciate your vision and everything you are doing for our people. Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you have a good one. Keep up the great work!
Emily Duggan, Mortgage Consultant
Wow, this [newly implemented Employee Assistance Program] is pretty amazing. Thank you very much for caring so much about all of us. You’ve just given me one more thing to be grateful for as a Cornerstone employee.
Liz Kundrath, Closing Coordinator
At some point I quit pinching myself to make sure it is real. I am so thankful for you and Judy and your servant leadership. I feel valued and appreciated even if I personally never use the services. There truly is no place like Cornerstone.
Dean Johnson, Regional Manager
Thank you so much for all you and Judy do for us! It is a blessing that I thank God for every day, working here with people I consider family.
Darlene Caballero , Condition Coordinator in Branch Co-ordination
Every time you send something or make a statement like you do in your Cornerstone intro video, you remind us why Cornerstone is so very unique. I hope you truly recognize what a positive difference these little things make in our lives. On-boarding people, opening up offices, closing loans, dealing with investor changes, a little NMLS and Dodd-Frank bologna, layering upon layering of guidelines and staff trying mightily to keep up with Loan Officers who want it done yesterday – it’s exciting and, it’s stressful. People are crumbling all around us, and we truly view you as a rock. We look to you for direction and guidance, even when you don’t think we’re looking. Thank you for always doing what you say and allowing me to be able to deliver on my promises. I know that each member of my team is grateful for you. Have an awesome, fearless, God-led day Marc!
Carrie Guarrero, Vice President and Regional Manager
Thank you for your convictions, your vision and for your refusal to compromise on your beliefs!
Nichole Frederickson, Processor
I am so glad that as our leader you have the moral courage to send these emails! It is a privilege to work at CMC.
Nancy Newhard, Senior Vice President and Loan Officer
I received the signed card from you guys [in Public Relations/Marketing] this morning, congratulating me on my first year with Cornerstone. I was absolutely blown away that you guys would all personally sign the card and make a point to send it out to me. You guys are amazing and are the reason that I love working for this company. A lot of companies have values posted because it sounds nice, but I’ve never been in a company where the actions match the words as much as they do here. It’s a blessing to work with each one of you and look forward to many more years of doing so. This Thanksgiving I’m thankful for Cornerstone and colleagues like you. I’m blown away. Have a great weekend!
Jacob Washburn, Mortgage Advisor
I just needed to let you know how important getting this email was to me today. With as difficult as our industry is right now, God always manages to show up for me when I need him most, and today he did that through you. I am really blessed to have you at the wheel here. Thank you from the bottom of my little stressed out, mortgage loving heart.
Donnell Kelley, Production Manager
Thank you for my card (You’ve Still Got It). Things have been a little tough over the last few months for my production, so this reminder gives me a step up today that I, in fact, can do it and hold my own destiny. Thank you for being a great leader of this company and for doing everything you can to give us a advantage over our competitors.
Baine McClure, Senior Loan Officer
I feel blessed to be associated with such a wonderful company, especially with the support that we, the employees, are given.
Debbie Clark, Loan Officer
My wife and I prayed with great thanksgiving this morning that I am at Cornerstone. Thank you for the opportunity to be here.
Jay Crowell, CMP Vice President, District Manager
I would like to thank you, Judy, and the accounting department for giving me the opportunity to be a part of a great company and team. I hope to be here long enough to get my picture on the wall for being here 10+ years, something I saw for the first time earlier this week after being here two years. I am truly blessed.
Dameion Vital, Commissions Accountant
It’s continues to be my pleasure to work for such a great company.
Debbie Wleczyk , Loan Servicing
Thanks for setting up these live help lines. I have used them periodically since they have been available and it is EXTREMELY helpful to have a live person to talk to right away when trying to clarify details for a loan.
Penny Kast, Loan Officer
Just a quick email to say thank you for all you do. I love working for you and this company!
Heather Bomar, Senior Mortgage Advisor
I truly appreciate the thoughtfulness of it [your anniversary note] and the way you and your executive leadership team care for our people. I am honored to be part of a company that cares for its employees and operates with such integrity. I look forward to being part of its continued success as we grow together and serve with excellence. Thanks again for the note.
Kevin J. Hansen, Loan Officer
I'm a new Loan Officer to the company here in Greenwood Village Colorado, and I just want to say, “THANK-YOU!” I've never experienced such a high level of communication from top management and sincere interest in making sure we ALL succeed! It's always been real obvious to me that the only way to win is if we all win together, and although a lot of companies know this, they don't practice it. I've only been here a short time, but the difference with Cornerstone is so obvious and remarkable.
Karin Fischer
Being part of such an outstanding company has been a real change for me! It is so nice to be treated well and to feel important. I am looking forward to a great year here at Cornerstone. Thank you for making that possible.
Becca Taylor-Mercil, Processor
I consider it an honor to work for this company and all of the incredible people I am surrounded with. Thank you for all the opportunities you give to us.
Dana Meloneck, Assistant Compliance Officer
You continue to amaze me, and I feel so blessed to work with you. Accounting just told me about your additional donation to AIM [a charity dedicated to the disadvantaged in Val Verde, Mexico]. That is truly amazing. Thank you very much.
Dean Johnson, Regional Manager, Cornerstone Home Lending
It has been a fantastic year. Again, thank you, I am blessed to be a part of such a wonderful team.
Erich Hoff, Senior Graphic Designer
I am so excited to be a part of the Cornerstone Team. Everyone here is so friendly and great to work with. I really appreciate this opportunity and can't wait until I have it all down so that I can blow it out of the park! Plus, I am grateful that we have a CEO that checks in with his new employees and is open to questions. That’s Awesome! Thanks again and for taking the time to welcome me to your wonderful Cornerstone Family!
Mallory Jane Robison, Production Assistant
You are an amazing leader, and there is not another person on this earth that I would rather be working for and learning from. With sincere respect and gratitude,
Lisa Haynes, Servicing
I am truly thankful for the opportunity you all have given me at Cornerstone and can think of no better group to be associated with as we enter a new year with its challenges, changes and opportunities.
Daniel E. Cooper, Consultant
I would like to thank you for making it so very possible to open an account with Frost Bank. My reason for doing it is to make sure I have money put aside for Christmas next year. It is doing things like this that makes Cornerstone a one-of-a-kind company to work for.
Donna Durrenberger, BANKING DEPT
When I count my blessings, working for Cornerstone is one of them. Thank you for Cornerstone!
Janet Levenson - Cornerstone
Thank you for applying a start-up deposit into the FROST bank accounts for all of the Cornerstone employees who signed up today … (ONCE AGAIN, going above and beyond the call of an employer!).
Thomas Du Bry, CMC Underwriter
Although I have been here for just 6 months, but I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciate this company. I am proud to be part of this great company.
Anne-Marie Fish, Division Finance Officer
It is a great pleasure to come to work each and every day at Cornerstone Mortgage.
Andy Woodside, Production Partner
Thanks for being so good to us, Marc &Judy!
Melanie Hadley, Sr. Loan Officer
Thank you so much Mr. Laird. You have no idea what a blessing it has been to me to work for Cornerstone group. It really is a company where they care about employees and I truly love what I do, I love my job.
Irma
Thank Marc I'm honored to be a part of such a great company
R Zepeda Ponce
Thank you. I still feel lucky to be here everyday!
D Ellis
Marc, thank you so much! I could not ask for a better group of people or company to work with. Your vision and support is a vital part of Cornerstone’s success and employee satisfaction. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of it all! Have a wonderful day!
H Meier
Thank you Sir – it is an honor and privilege to work for this great company! I value my job!
N Jacobs
Thank You. I have really enjoying working for this company. I do think it was a blessing to get the opportunity that Cornerstone has given me. Thanks again.
N Khoury - Government Underwriter
Hi Marc, I am sitting with my daughter waiting to meet her kindergarten teacher, and was thinking about how blessed I am to be back at the Burnsville branch of CMC. Even through the shake up going on this week, it is more apparent than ever that Carrie and the rest of the team are more dedicated than ever to upholding the CMC core values and mission. The fostering of employee dedication and commitment to its own is amazing. You and Judy have really created an outstanding vehicle!! For example, When I came back as a temp in June, it was so amazing to call down to IT and have Eva welcome me back (couldn't believe she remembered me after 2 yrs!). The intense feeling of genuine concern and family atmosphere cannot be equaled in any other company. Within the branch, it was such a relief to be able to come in and hit the ground running. I'll tell you, that it has been a long time (during my absence) since I looked forward to work everyday and felt that I was a valuable part of an amazing team. I now have that again. Since I have made a short story very long, the moral of the story is this: Thank you for your vision. Thank you for your dedication to CMC. Thank you for gathering an amazing group of people that pride themselves in making a difference in the lives of others! Off to meet the teacher!
N Fredrickson - Processing Support
I have really enjoyed this first year. The Temple office is a great office to work in they are all very nice and treat you just like family. I hope that next ??? years are just as nice as this first one has been. Again thank you so much.
Fisher
Thank You! It’s and honor and privilege to work here. I would have never predicted the ups and downs in this industry over the last few years, but it has made me much stronger and better originator. I am proud to be a part of Cornerstone Mortgage.
R Bonahoom
Thank you. I am so happy to be back at Cornerstone Mortgage Company. I have had a great year. I look forward to many more successful and productive years here at Cornerstone.
D Daley
Thank you, Marc, for allowing me the opportunity to work for such an outstanding mortgage company!!
S Wentz - Loan Originator
Thank you so much. I really feel truly blessed to work for a great company. I am so excited. I look forward to many more.
K Tran - Mortgage Loan Funder
Thank You for founding Cornerstone. It’s easy to work for people that care. I am proud to work here. Sincerely
B Smith
I viewed your message this morning and came away inspired. Although I’m relatively new with Cornerstone, and just closed my first set of loans this month,I’m already thoroughly impressed that the company backs up its words with performance. I’m very proud to be associated with your company. The values from which Cornerstone operates no doubt is the foundation of its success.
S Trantham
This is great Marc. . . Thanks for taking the time to record this message to us during an important time in our industry. Companies who continually seek ways to keep their vision fresh and keep their mission focused for their employees, I believe, become and remain great companies. I have been here for 8 years and you have always taken every opportunity to extend appreciation to Cornerstone’s employees. Thank you for all that YOU do…
K Ippolito
For the first time in 5 years my wife and I were able to take a well needed vacation. The reason we did not take a vacation was not financial – it was because we could not leave our business and confidently know that everything would be taken care of while we were gone. It is such a relief to have everyone on the same page and understand how important it is for a loan officer’s reputation and future business to make closing dates. I want to take this moment to commend you and your team on creating the team and the systems that create superb service. I have been searching on behalf of my team for years to find an organization such as yours only to find empty promises and systems that delay progress of files that cause missed closing dates or always cause scrambling last minute and calling in “favors.” I appreciate your efforts and I am now beginning to believe what you have been telling me from the beginning, “Don’t worry about that because you will not be leaving Cornerstone”. And, I don’t intend to.
R Earl Leahy
Thank you! I absolutely love my job &Cornerstone!
D Cutler
Thanks very much! I feel like I am where I belong!
D Huddleston
Thank you very much for the warm welcome and the nice welcome gifts as well. I am excited to be here and am looking forward to learning everything I can as quickly as I can. I am very happy to be a part of the Cornerstone family. It is truly an answer to prayer.
L Weber
On behalf of the Bellaire branch, I’d like to extend a big CONGRATULATIONS on being selected Lender of the Year for Colorado! As our Regional Production Manager you have been very instrumental in our success. With your help, and the backing of Cornerstone, our branch has grown from 2 loan officers and a contract processor in a 900 sq ft office in July 2007, to 10 employees in a 2900 sq ft office today. We’ve set new branch records in number of units closed last month for our branch of 33, and volume of $5,447,698. We’ve also already exceeded our total volume of $29.44MM and units of 155 for the ENTIRE year of 2008 this year just through the month of July 2009 with $32.2MM volume and 175 units. We’re very excited about our growth, and with people like Julie, Cornerstone, and all of you on our team, we’re looking forward to everyone’s continued success. Again, a big CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU to Julie for all of her hard work, and a big CONGRATULATIONS to the entire Bellaire Branch for making this all happen.
B Mahon
Thank you for the warm welcome! I’ve only been here a couple of weeks, and I really love the atmosphere in the office and have been welcomed with open arms. I am very happy I was chosen to be a part of the Cornerstone family. I really love it here!
T Fox - Processor
Thank you both so much for our Employee Appreciation/Spa Day. We all felt very “Special”. We all look forward to that each year. Our new employees could not believe you-all actually do that every year. I appreciate Cornerstone so much. Love Flo.
F Mcgee
I wanted to apologize for the delay in communicating my thanks, but thank you so much for the Employee Appreciation Day. We all had a great day. It's so nice of you to do this for us, and let me tell you, I brag about what we get at Cornerstone to my friends and family, and they do help remind how lucky I am to be working for you guys!
P Barksdale
Hi! Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I have really enjoyed working here – and I feel very fortunate to be part of such a great company! The PR team is amazing, and they have all been incredibly helpful and welcoming.
R Spatz
Thank you. I love working here.
C Mathews
Marc and Judy, Thank you so much for this awesome gift and for really caring about each one of us so much. Love
Flo
Hi, there! Thank you for offering Life Planning to all employees. I ’m on the call to learn a few more pointers – love Steve, love you, love life planning, etc. and etc. Marc, you are one in a million. I cherish my association with you, and I am honored to be a part of Cornerstone. Still loving every single, solitary minute of being here!! Thank you, thank you for this marvelous opportunity!! XOXO,
Sharla
Good stuff Marc. You and I share a similar view about people and how to support and lead them. I thought the piece was well done and humble. Keep up the good work.
J Baker
This company never ceases to amaze me. Your dedication to your employees is beyond my greatest expectations. In the two and ½ short years that I have been here, each day brings a new-found respect and deep appreciation that God led me to this company.
J Witter - Compliance Analyst
All of us who are truly grateful. It’s you and Judy that have put us in such a great position to be so successful in a very difficult time for our industry. Thank you!
R Smith
I just received my birthday card and present from you. Thank you very much. I really enjoy working for this company!
M Shirley - Senior Loan Processor
I’m very excited to be part of the team and proud to represent Cornerstone Mortgage! I just wish I had joined the team back in July 08 when I first met with you and David Bravo! I had to test the waters with another company to see the true value that Cornerstone offers. Boy can I see it now!
J Schutze - Mortgage Planner
I must say, 'Absolutely amazing!" I didn’t know Cornerstone Mortgage Company had this "Care Fund.” I was very touched by the video and think that this Care Fund is unbelievably amazing and that it is in place to help the Cornerstone Mortgage Company “family.” What a blessing; what a company!!!
D Guillochon - Senior Loan Processor
Hi Marc, Thank you for taking time while you are in Greece to congratulate me on my anniversary (My Goodness). As CMC grows and gets older, seems like my anniversary rolls by really fast. I can’t imagine my life without Cornerstone in it. You and Judy are like family to me. Thank you for the personal welcome to Cornerstone. I have already told friends and family that I could tell from Day One that Cornerstone was a special company. I am excited to be here.
D Brown - Sr. Loan Processor
Thank you, Marc. I have enjoyed the past eight years, and I am honored to work for a company that acknowledges God and has awesome management and employees. Hope to stay here until I can one day retire. (Ha, what’s that)?
S Arthur
I am so happy to be part of a company with such amazing core values and principles. I am also excited about being part of Cornerstone Cares, as I feel that it is something so much bigger than myself- and that’s a great feeling. I have really enjoyed my first month here in Janelle’s office and also wanted to say what peace it brings to me, both personally and professionally, to be employed by a company that I can see myself being part of for many, many years to come. With great thanks,
K Lester - Director Of First Impressions
Thank you for sending me a link to this video! I can’t express to you how excited I am to be part of a company that truly cares about its employees. I’m a part of the Cedar Park team which works out of the Austin office. Let me just say, there isn’t a person in this office that wouldn’t give you the shirt of his/her back or take 5 minutes to help you find an answer to a question. It’s an amazing feeling to come into a workplace full of employees who truly enjoy the company they work for. I have had 2 rushed files close over the last week that wouldn’t have even been close to making the closing date at my previous company. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I CAME TO CORNERSTONE!!! Thank you for bringing me on board with Cornerstone!
R Schutze - Mortgage Consultant
Thank you so much for remembering me in your busy schedule. The time here has flown by. I feel honored to work for such an outstanding company. I intend on serving for many more years to come. Thank you again and have a fantastic day!!
K Link
I am thankful for the opportunity of working here.
Andrea Messineo - Loan Servicing Department
Thank you Marc – I’m still absolutely loving it here at Cornerstone! Thank YOU for caring about the people and the culture of your company to the level that you do – I am constantly impressed. Here’s to another fantastic year!
H Bomar
It has been great! If anything ever happened to Cornerstone, I probably would just make my exit from the mortgage business. Couldn’t imagine dealing with this broken industry at so many of the broken companies out there.
B Bomar
I have truly been blessed and have enjoyed being a part of the Cornerstone family! The flowers sent to our office are absolutely gorgeous!
Nicole
Thank you. It is an honor to work for such a great company.
J Gallagher
Thanks so much for asking. We’re doing well and learning a lot. Sharla and her team have been getting used to Cornerstone, which has gone very well. Things have been such an improvement over our previous work environment I have had to keep reminding Sharla that we will occasionally have road bumps and a few disappointments. That has been true, but they are just part of the business of mortgages, and fortunately have been few and far between. Each week brings a greater understanding of just how committed this company and its people are to providing an excellent experience for mortgage customers and those who serve them. Mary Dinkins is exceptional. So Martha and Cindy and Sandy and Chris and Derek and…well, I’m going to risk getting in trouble if I leave anyone of the so many out. Suffice it to say, we recognize there are some gifted people in the organization. We feel very blessed and know there is a reason we ended up here.
R Jones - Utah Area Manager
Time flies when you are having fun, I look forward to many more years of working hard for CMC – it’s a great company.
Jessie
Hi, guys - hope all is well with you! It's just one of those days where I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Just wanted to send a quick email to express (again) my gratitude for the opportunity you've given me to work here at Cornerstone. I love being here and being a part of such a special group. Have a great day. Thanks, again!

Thanks so very much for giving me the opportunity to learn about and generate my Life Plan!! It was extremely soul-searching and incredibly fulfilling to create this “living plan” and then be coached on how to maximize its use all the time. My coach was Kevin McGovern and he inspired me to dig deeper; I’ve ordered “Visioneering,” and “Thinking for a Change,” as he suggested for further growth. Cornerstone’s heartbeat is so atypical in today’s business world, and it’s because of your commitment to make it and keep it that way ~ thank you for making a difference in my life!

Kudos to Marc!! I have never worked for a CEO/Owner/President in my 28-year mortgage career with the compassion to follow up like this!

I am thrilled to be here, and I look forward to many more anniversaries with Cornerstone. This is a Great company that you (and some other great people) have built. Of ALL the promises that Bomar made me - many of which I had “heard before.” I have not been disappointed for a single minute. Have a Great weekend and 2010!

Marc &Judy, Thanks for the strawberry arrangement and the opportunity to work here for the last 15 years! The delivery here caused a minor uproar: before it was over, the whole office knew what was going on and came to the lobby. I heard comments about how many years others would have to work to get to their 5-year or 10-year anniversaries. You just don’t hear that from the average employee in ANY industry. Anyway, we had a little fun on a Monday afternoon.

I have only been here in the Hutchinson, MN, office since mid-October, but already can tell it is a company that values its employees. I have been so warmly welcomed and assisted by everyone. Have a great day.
J Johnson, Mortgage Planner
Good afternoon Mr. Marc. I am very happy to work for a company where your people are important. Thank you.

Oh!! I LOVE working for Cornerstone Mortgage: the experience has changed my life tremendously! Just over a year ago, I moved here from Ohio with my one-year-old son and got the opportunity to come work for Cornerstone. You all had such faith in me, and, now, twelve months later, I have already moved up from being the receptionist to that of an appraisal coordinator covering four different branches! I would never have thought such opportunity was out there, so, again, I thank you very much for having the confidence in me that allows me to progress in your wonderful company. I truly mean this from the bottom of my heart. I actually look forward to coming and doing my job each day (Working with such great people can make anyone enjoy their job). There is not a day that goes by that I don’t thank the Lord for leading me in this direction. You and your company are a true blessing to my son and me.

Okay… my eyes are swollen and my nose is raw, and I think I may need a ride home because my contacts are messed up. The Cornerstone Care check that I received is amazing: I have sincerely never been touched by so much kindness and love as I have by my coworkers here and the Cornerstone Family as a whole. I know that there are always people out there going through so much more and struggling through tough times as well, especially these days. Coming to work where I receive such encouragement from everyone has been my escape into normalcy these days and has provided a place of strength and protection for all of my family. I appreciate more than I could ever express how much your generosity has helped us as a family get through this period of time (it has been financially, emotionally, and mentally draining). Most of all, my team’s prayerful and demonstrative support has given my family and me the strength to keep our heads up. From the daily outpouring of love and concern to the flexibility of hours that allows me to deal with the important issues and have the time to give heartfelt support to my child, I say thank you!

Hey Marc, I am a part of the Cornerstone team in Seattle. Things like this [Thanksgiving video emphasizing the importance of family]are why I love being at Cornerstone. We have a strong, thriving business, but the company culture is centered around what is really important. Thank you for creating this type of culture, and thank you for allowing Jay, me, and the rest of team to be a part of this company. Happy Thanksgiving!

I want you to know that I appreciate both the American Express gift card and the Cornerstone Cookie bouquet. It has been a blessing to come and work here at Cornerstone Mortgage Company over the past ten years. The quality people you have employed here are a delight to work with.

What a wonderful 10-year experience I have had at Cornerstone Mortgage Company. I am truly blessed to be working for such a great company with outstanding leadership and coworkers. When I joined Cornerstone Mortgage Company 10 years ago, I believe that God placed me here as part of His plan for my life, and I hope that my presence has been a positive influence on the people that I have met, for so many of the people that I have met in this company have been uplifting and a positive influence on me. With sincere appreciation,

Derek and Julie, I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job that you have done regarding training with the new license regulations. I remember being at another mortgage company, and we had 2 months’ notice to study and learn new methodology with the comment, “Here is the written manual, and good luck!.” Instead of being extremely nervous and frazzled, we know we are in good hands. Thank you again for not throwing us to the sharks!
C Spragg
Marc, Thanks to the support you and Cornerstone provide, it has been a great five years.
L Kassuba, Sr. LO
I am utterly overwhelmed! Your integrity, Christian business practices, and magnanimity continue to amaze me. Thank you for being a person of faith and family and a man who practices those principles on which the company was founded. I offer my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for this company and for you.

Thank you, Marc. I have really enjoyed working with everyone here and also look forward to a great 2010. I really do appreciate everything you and Judy do for Cornerstone and your employees.

Hi Thank you for sending a copy of your company’s Vision Statement. Monte was recommended to me by our financial advisor and when I first set down in Monte’s office there was a copy of your statement on his desk. It is refreshing to be able to know companies with honesty and integrity that I can recommend to others. Please let me know if I can ever be of service to you or your company. Blessings &Good Fruit!
