What clients say about Rod
I appreciate all involved in the process, THANK YOU!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We cannot recommend Rod See and the entire Cornerstone Home Lending team highly enough! Buying a home can be one of the most stressful experiences, but Rod made us feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way. He was incredibly responsive, patient, and transparent, taking the time to explain every option and helping us make the best financial decisions for our family. There were several moving pieces throughout our transaction, and Rod consistently went above and beyond to find solutions, communicate proactively, and keep everything moving toward the finish line. His professionalism, knowledge, and calm demeanor gave us tremendous peace of mind during what could have been an overwhelming process. A heartfelt thank you as well to Rose and Monique, and everyone behind the scenes at Cornerstone. It truly felt like an entire team was advocating for us, and their dedication made all the difference. Because of Rod and his team, we are now homeowners of our dream home. We will forever be grateful for their hard work, integrity, and genuine care for our family. If you’re looking for a lender who treats you like more than just another transaction, Rod See and the Cornerstone team are simply the best. Thank you for helping make our dream a reality!
Good follow through! Even when things appeared to be falling apart, Rod gave reassurance!
When I had questions, I received answers. There were some delays that had nothing to do with the LO. I must say this portion of the process was smooth. “If you’re looking to become a homeowner, I recommend Rod See!”
Purchasing a home is a huge deal, Rod along with his team made things effortless. If I ever had questions or concerns, they were always there to help, and I could not appreciate them more! Monique was also fantastic! She helped me throughout the process and was incredibly understanding and helpful with my many questions and concerns as a first-time buyer.
After six years of following Rod's emails and attending his webinars, homeownership still felt out of reach. Two lenders told us no. Rod looked at our credit and numbers and said — we can work with this. Not only did he get us approved, we were approved for more than we were even asking for, which made all the difference. Because of the complexity of our loan, he brought in Rose, and that was the game changer. She became the heartbeat of the entire process — communicating every step, staying steady when buyer fatigue nearly won, and keeping our hope alive when we were ready to give up. It wasn't easy, but it was worth every moment. I'm writing this from my new home. Rod believed in us when others didn't, and Rose carried us across the finish line. Cornerstone didn't just close a loan — they changed our lives. If you're sitting in an apartment wondering if it's even possible — call Cornerstone. It is.

My experience with cornerstone was a very successful experience. Also very educational for me to learn a lot of things about buying a home or just buying property in general, but the team at cornerstone that works with RODERICK SEE is a great team starting with RODERICK Rosie Monique Jennifer, and all the rest of the staff at cornerstone I’ll rate this company with five stars because they are good at what they do i’ll be behalf of the Williams family me and my family want to thank cornerstone for helping us purchase our first home thanks cornerstone

Homebuying FAQs
Purchasing a home enables you to receive tax benefits while building equity that you can cash out in the future. Owning a home also gives you the opportunity to truly personalize your space.
Yes! Prequalifying first can help you save time and effort before you get too far into the process. You will know upfront how much home you can realistically afford. It also lets real estate agents and sellers know that you’re a serious buyer, which can be an advantage when making an offer.
Your lender will consider a number of factors when determining your maximum loan amount. Some of these include your debt-to-income ratio (how much of your monthly gross income goes toward paying debts), cash available for down payment and closing costs, and credit history.
Your loan officer will work with you to determine which loan product benefits you. They will review your current finances and future financial goals. Your loan officer will also consider factors like your target monthly mortgage payment and how long you plan to live in the home.
A fixed-rate mortgage has an interest rate and payment that stay the same over the life of the loan. With an adjustable-rate mortgage, the rate can either increase or decrease, based on market factors. The monthly payment can also go up or down based on the rate adjustment.
A conventional mortgage is a home loan that is not offered or secured by a government entity (like FHA or VA). Conventional mortgages typically conform to the loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Administration (FHFA) and are eligible for purchase by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the two government-sponsored enterprises that guarantee the majority of mortgages in the U.S.).
Unlike government loans like FHA, VA, and USDA, conventional loans can be used for more property types (primary residences, second homes, and investment properties). In addition to the popular 30-year fixed conventional loan, there are also more choices for loan structure, including 15-year or 20-year terms and adjustable-rate mortgages.
