INNOVATIVE LEADER AND PERENNIAL TOP PRODUCER KELLY ZITLOW REJOINS CORNERSTONE HOME LENDING

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- After a brief departure from Cornerstone Home Lending (CHL) in early 2022, Kelly Zitlow (NMLS 164330) makes a big comeback by returning to CHL as the Executive Vice President of Sales & Engagement.

In addition to continuing to originate loans, Zitlow looks forward to bringing innovative strategies for an ever-evolving industry to CHL's mortgage sales team in her new role as EVP of Sales & Engagement. "I could not be more excited to be back 'home' with Cornerstone Home Lending. During a time when many mortgage companies are struggling, Cornerstone Home Lending continues to be a standout leader in the industry, providing strength and stability in the market by expanding product/service offerings and carefully considering the needs of its clients," said Zitlow.
