Freedom Through Financial Education

Cornerstone offers a full range of services to help you with one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make — your home.

Homebuyer Education

Buying a home can be an exciting transition in your life, but it can often feel a little overwhelming. Cornerstone’s counselors offer HUD-endorsed counseling to ensure you’re guided through each major step of this process.

You can choose to come in for face-to-face counseling, attend one of our full-day workshops on homebuying, or both! In any case, you’ll walk away much better prepared to make the critical decisions.

Reverse Mortgage Loans

Also known as Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (or HECM Loans), a reverse mortgage allows you to tap into the equity you’ve built up over the years in your home. This option is ideal for retired homeowners, though anyone of age 64 or over is encouraged to speak with one of our counselors to explore their options with this type of loan.

We’ll help answer any questions you have and make sure you fully understand the process so you can talk to lenders with confidence.

Foreclosure Counseling

Few things are more stressful than the thought of losing your home. From questions of debt to wondering what sort of options you have, facing the possibility of foreclosure is something you don’t have to do alone.

Our counselors are trained by the nationally recognized NeighborWorks America program to help you deal with the issues that can arise from getting behind on your home loan. We work with you on a one-on-one basis, free of charge, to make sure you understand all of your options and rights.
