Cornerstone First Financial NMLS ID #292897 Wisconsin Ave, Washington

Read all the great reviews and really was excited to talk to a mortgage broker about purchasing our first home. My credit is on the lower side and saw that they had a program for 580-640 credit scores. The person on the phone said I needed a 630 in order to qualify. uhhhhhhhh then the website needs to be changed. He didn't even give me a chance to explain or allow me to speak with someone about potentially ways of raising my score in order to qualify. It's a shame that one person can ruin the whole thing for you.

I worked with Tammie Griffiths at Cornerstone and I cannot say enough good things about her or my experience with her. I am a Real Estate Attorney licensed in Maryland since 1989 and Tammie is one of the BEST I have EVER worked with. She did a great job and followed up to be sure everything was complete. AFTER closing, when everything was done, we encountered a small problem with property taxes which was NOT even a problem for Tammie but she went to great lengths and above and beyond to help us solve the problem. The buyer, the seller, the agents and everyone involved is HAPPY because of Tammie's hard work and dedication. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is buying or refinancing a home !!! She's the BEST !!!

I did a lot of research before I chose a broker to handle my refinance mortgage. I chose Cornerstone First Financial based on my research and referrals. Chris Swope was very patient with me, as I questioned everything in order to get the best rate with minimal fees. In the end, the loan processed easily and efficiently. Thanks Chris!

When you've got a VA loan, you want this to be the team that helps you navigate the quirks. The team at Cornerstone First Financial was GREAT every step of the way in our closing process. Mark and Emily sent us everything we needed in advance to help our closing process go smoothly. They're extremely responsive and know their business and it helps they're salt of the earth people that treat you like a person and not an account. Closing on a home was stressful for us as we did not know how/what to expect but they were great at guiding us and keeping things on track. thank you!

Doug Rice and the Cornerstone Team put our needs first and took care of us every step of the way. The great customer service, knowledgeable advice, and persistent attention to detail helped our family now and far into the future. Our new loan is perfect for our family! Thanks so much.

Johanna and the team at Cornerstone First Financial were amazing to work with. They provided alternative options that we had not considered and were able to save us a considerable amount of money. The process was simple and streamlined and we got it done in two weeks. Can’t go wrong with Cornerstone.

I can't say enough about the work of Cornerstone First Financial team! Thanks for a smooth refinance with a great rate and top notch customer service. I highly recommend working with them - you won't be sorry!

Tammie Griffiths made my refi so easy. She is truly a self-starter and took care of what I needed before I knew it. I enjoyed working with Tammie. Her professionalism and confidence put me at ease and made the process an enjoyable one. If I ever need to do this again I will definitely be in contact.

Chris,Thank you for the excellent work at getting this transaction to completion. It went smoothly at signing and the rep that came to our house gets 5 stars from Sharon and myself. You can be assured that I will recommend you and your company for mortgage services.

Cornerstone First Financial is more than just a lender, it is a company who cares just as much about your financial well-being as you do. I've never considered a private lender and only worked with large, well-known banks/credit unions. However, this was the best decision I made for my family. What separates them from large financial institutions is they go above and beyond to get you the best rates, they are always available to discuss your loan, and they have financial experts who will dive into every detail of your closing statements. I didn't just get a loan officer, I got a personal, financial adviser who saved my family a lot of money. I had the same expert from the time I called until the day of closing when he showed up with a flower to give my wife as a house warming gift. We highly recommend working with Joe Rodgers if he is available. I was very impressed with how meticulous he was with every detail of the closing cost spreadsheet and mortgage payment information. There is no comparison, go with Cornerstone First!
