Cornerstone Mortgage Group

I just want to give the Shaffman group (Scott, Jason and Lindsay) at cornerstone mortgage a positive review. They were great to work with during our home purchase, they gave us an excellent rate and top-​notch service. They were always available to answer questions and the weekly updates that they provided during closing were very reassuring. I highly recommend cornerstone mortgage!

I like how they are very comprehensive on what you need for the loan and what you need to do to complete your loan settlement. I especially like how Dmitry is upfront and lets you know what is going to happen before you commit yourself to what you are buying.

John Baugh was amazing. He came in at the last minute to help with a purchase transaction that was going sideways. My client’s loan was a done deal and they were ready to move in, but the seller’s broker was not doing his job. John came in and got seller’s loan funded ASAP and saved the deal. Thanks John!

Wanted to throw in a nod to Tim at Cornerstone. He worked pretty hard one day to help a friend of mine up north try to make a loan happen on his house.
There were ultimately a couple reasons it wouldn’t work out. However, the service was outrageously prompt. Give these folks a shot. They don’t make you wait around all week for simple answers.

Would you use this company given the email thread below?

P.S that’s the most insulting crock of sh! t I have ever read. You want to do a fraudulent co-​borrower loan with the other guy good luck Im not the guy for that. This deal has changed add I have learned the real facts of Whats going on. I spoke to the sellers this morning and told them we are looking good. I will ignore all calls regarding your loan from here on.

First, the GFE had an appraisal amount of $ 495. I get my cc statement today and it’s $ 750. That’s a 51% increase over GFE. if you do these loans all day long, why were you so far off with the cost of the appraisal? What are you willing to do to make this right?
Second, we are discussing our THIRD loan structure. You had my wife and I with rental income as #1. You said you played golf with Wells guy and ran it by him with no issues. We had to go to second structure with my father and wasted a couple days on that. Then you come back and say we need a third option for the ⁷⁄₁ ARM. If you do these loans all the time, why all these structures for what you called a «well qualified buyer»?
ultimately, you are likely costing me this deal. my wife and i have been looking for a home in PV for over 2 years. My son and daughter were counting on this house. you are letting our family down and shattering the dreams of 2 young kids. Please let me know what you are going to do to make this right.
