Thank you Inessa Masevich, Lis Arneson, and Cornerstone Home Lending! We are incredibly happy that we had the opportunity to work with Inessa and her team at Cornerstone Home Lending. We met Inessa through her volunteer work with first-time home buyers (she put on a great presentation about real estate finance). We reached out to Inessa when we knew we were getting serious about the home-buying process and she was eager to help us get going. We knew how important it was that we find someone willing to take us step by step through buying our first home, and Inessa did just that. She delivered on her promise to us to communicate with us, to help us buy our home within the parameters of our financial means, and to answer any and all questions we had to the best of her ability. Not only that, she went above and beyond to secure our finances in a timely manner so that our offer letters were competitive in this crazy housing market. She also got us a spectacular interest rate! Inessa and her team always made themselves available throughout the process and we cannot express how grateful we were to be able to have quick and efficient communication with the team. Inessa and her team are informative, professional, trustworthy, and friendly. We would recommend Inessa and Cornerstone Home Lending to anyone looking for a quality home-buying experience. read more

Words don't do us enough justice to better express ourselves how grateful my wife and I are to have worked with Inessa. As first time homebuyers ever, we had so much to educate ourselves on the nuances of mortgage shopping and application. Inessa, who we would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a passionate loans officer, literally held our hands as one would to a baby starting to learn how to walk. She patiently led us through our mortgage shopping and application process, did thorough research and answered our questions with great detail to our satisfaction. Compared to other officers we previously had worked with, we can confidently say that Inessa is very responsive to our questions, took time to research and share resources and different options of Loan products to help us make better informed decisions. We did not feel rushed through the process, and Inessa went above and beyond her call of duty to reassure us and get us the best loan product. We are incredibly grateful that have worked with her. We certainly look forward to working with her again. We strongly recommend Inessa as someone of impeccable integrity, and one that regularly keeps her word. We are forever indebted to Inessa. read more

I am 21 years old and I don't know anything about buying a house. I met Inessa through my realtor and I am glad I did because she was a really knowledgeable and nice person. She helped me through everything with loan topic related. She explain our benefits as a first time buyer and includes everything we could get as well. It took my family and I to get a house 1 year or so. My dad and I were in the same loan and my credit score were great but dad credit score was really low so we had to wait to bring it up. With this dilemma she helped us a lot and even told us what to do, so we can bring my dad credit score up. When my dad credit score was all good then we started the process again and she walked me through everything and informed me all the documents that I needed to attain. We had some ups and downs in the process but I stuck through with her and she did with us too. By the end of everything we eventually got our very first family house and I couldn't have done it without Inessa. Even after we got the house she still helps me out with how to pay our mortgages. So now my dad and I are in the title of the house and I am proud to say that it's great to be young and be a home owner! read more

When we started looking for our first house we reached out to multiple banks to get pre-qualified loans. However, during the phase of making an initial offer we learned that the aforementioned banks were all backloaded with refinancing requests spurred by the covid-19 low interest rates, and could not convert our pre-qualified loan into a pre-approved one. My housing agent recommended Inessa, and she is the hands down the most professional and diligent loan officer we've ever worked with. Within the first couple of days establishing contact, she was able to get the crucial paperwork we needed to make the offer. In the meantime, she responded to all of our questions promptly and very thoroughly. We were very well taken care of throughout the entire house purchasing experience and also received continuous top qualify service afterwards. The interest rate we locked in was lower than any of the bankers' offerings. We highly recommend choosing Inessa and her business. It would simplify the closing experience so much that buyers can actually focus on selecting their favorite houses. read more

Inessa and her team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. This was the third refinance I've been through in the last few years, and Inessa's team handled all the information requests, review stages, etc. incredibly well. With other lenders, I've had to email banking statements multiple times, chase for email updates, etc. But not here! Their LoanFly app and portal made the document gathering and sharing a breeze. Inessa communicated promptly and kept us informed of the expected close timing, and the timing of any major interim steps, along the way. Signing was coordinated well in advance and was completed on time, which meant nothing had to be refreshed in terms of supporting documentation, disclosures, etc. Inessa helped us lock in an incredible rate, and also deftly navigated a property title nuance. I'd recommend Inessa and her team to anyone craving a positive and professional experience with a mortgage broker. read more

I just bought a house and got a loan through Inessa. I'd planned on a lengthy search but found THE perfect place in less than 2 weeks after starting. I was TOTALLY unprepared for this good fortune. Among many other things, I wasn't able to find last year's tax docs, including 3 W2s. I found out that H&R Block doesn't keep copies of those, 2 of my former employers couldn't care less about my repeated pleas, and that the IRS has such a byzantine system for ordering copies, it sent me every record they had for me from that year, except for the W2s. However, not only was she able to somehow get them, Inessa kept me from *freaking out* about losing the perfect house because of 2 pieces of paper. AND, she was able to give me a few pointers on boosting my credit score to save thousands of dollars in the long run. If you need a loan and want some handholding, look no further. read more

As first time homebuyers, we had a lot to learn about the process and a lot of nerves to overcome. Inessa kept us calm through the process - we had several unique elements to our purchase, and any time we sensed a hiccup Inessa would say "don't stress" - and she followed through on everything perfectly and made it happen. I know she put in a lot of time and energy on our behalf, but was always so gracious when working with us. Inessa and her team were incredible to work with to make our dream of homeownership come true. Inessa was a great communicator and incredible advocate. Our homebuying process was as smooth as could be with her guidance and organization! We cannot thank her enough for her time and support. We are so fortunate to have had Inessa as part of our team, and we will look forward to working with her again if we have the opportunity! Thank you Inessa! read more

Inessa was fantastic to work with! This was our first home purchase, and Inessa made sure to explain everything clearly, walk us through the timeline, and was available to answer all of our questions. I think at one point we were texting at 7pm on a Sunday, which just shows how she is willing to go above and beyond! The thing we are most thankful for was at the very last moment she saw the mortgage rates had decreased and she worked with us to get an even lower rate. Inessa's attention to detail, industry knowledge and customer service is what makes her stand out among the masses.  I would recommend working with her 100 times over - and we plan to work with her on any future home purchases!! read more

Working with Inessa was the best experience that we could possibly ask for. When looking for houses (first time home owners) we really did our research, we needed a house that made financial sense with the right terms. Our first approach was with our bank and even though we were somewhat happy with what they offered us, our realtor suggested Inessa and the rest is history. She got us a great deal that surpassed our expectations and she explained every detail of the transaction (we do ask a lot of questions) and most importantly, she'll make every penny count and will fight to get you the most out of your money until the end. I can't recommend her enough! Thank you Inessa, Adriana & Alberto read more

Inessa was a pleasure to work with. We enjoyed her presentation at the new homebuyer class we attended. She was knowledgeable and thorough. We loved that she showed us various options on a couple different houses we were looking at. We were very happy with our rate, as she waited to lock it until the right time. She also referred us to an amazing realtor. Even during this busy season, her team was able to close our loan early enough to have the floors done before our lease was up. It was perfect timing for us to move in. She sent a very thoughtful gift as well. We would highly recommend cornerstone and Inessa! read more

As first time home buyers, we are very happy to have found Inessa and her team through a referral from our real estate agent! Inessa was an excellent guide throughout the process, taking the time to thoroughly explain everything (making sure to get my 5/10 initial understanding up to a 9+!) and always very responsive to our questions and updates through closing. She secured a rate for us that we are very happy with, and we were able to close a bit early even with added complications related to COVID. Definitely would recommend to friends and others, particularly first time buyers like us! read more

I have been a client of Inessa's and have also sent her my own clients that needed a mortgage or refinance. She is super responsive, extremely knowledgeable and honest. She has repeatedly gone above and beyond and always gets the job done. She has super competitive pricing (trust me, I've shopped around) and a team that is super accommodating and fast. My clients always give me glowing feedback about their experience with her, and I know this to be true because of my own experience. Highly recommend. read more

We really enjoyed working with Inessa and her team! Inessa was friendly, helpful, and happy to answer questions we had regarding loans. We are first-time homebuyers so everything about the process was new to us! Inessa's team was quick to reply to our emails and helped us stay on track to close by always letting us know what they needed in a timely manner. We had 3 weeks to close and that wasn't an issue, Inessa made sure it got done. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get a home loan! read more

Inessa an her team were very helpful! We had been working with Inessa for a long time and she made our dream come true! Her team had patients and an a great attitude towards the whole process. I would 100% recommend her team to anyone buying a home. Her team knows exactly what her clients want and will never take no for an answer! She always found a way to make sure we had what we asked for and was honest in her recommendations. With all honesty, look no further team Inessa is the way to go! read more

Inessa was SO helpful in working with us to purchase our first house. She made what can be a cumbersome process streamlined and easy. She even took extra time to walk us through "Home Lending 101" to make sure that we understood and were comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. We recently refinanced our home through Inessa as well and again she made it a streamlined and comfortable process. I highly recommend Inessa and her team for any of your home lending needs! read more

Inessa was fantastic! We uploaded all of our info off the bat, and she made it a walk in the park for any last items required for the underwriter to approve; her team is extremely knowledgeable and were extremely responsive when we had any questions. As a first time homebuyer, we had a lot of questions and uncertainties, and Inessa made us quite at ease... I would describe it as, 'no news is good news'. Thanks again Inessa, Lis, Francine and the rest of the team at Cornerstone! read more

Inessa and her team are awesome to work with. I purchased my first home and refinanced my mortgage with her as my loan officer. Both times, Inessa was very patient explaining the mortgage process and answering all of my questions. She was always easy to get a hold of and responded in a timely manner. Working with her makes it obvious that she truly wants to best for her clients. In the end I was incredibly satisfied with the results and I cannot recommend her enough. read more

We really enjoyed working with Inessa and her team as we bought our first home. She helped us secure our loan and was so knowledgeable, helpful and easy to work with. The whole process was seamless. We especially appreciated that she always took the time to call us and explain all the little details and options that were available to us. If made us feel so much more comfortable with the home buying process. Thank you so much Inessa, it was truly a pleasure. read more

Inessa and her team were absolutely fantastic to work with on purchasing our first home! They were always available to answer any questions we had and were very transparent about the status of our loan. The process was so smooth we could hardly believe it! Inessa and her team worked around the clock to make sure we closed on time and had all of the information we (and our realtor) needed. Very grateful to them for their hard work! read more
