“When we acquired Encompass Lending in April 2021, I stated that I believed the acquisition could help us attract additional successful mortgage teams and smaller lending operations to our company. I am pleased to prove that statement true through this acquisition of Cornerstone First Financial,” says Josh Harley, Fathom Holdings’ founder and CEO.

Mark Livingstone, Cornerstone First Financial Founder and CEO, added, “For more than 20 years, our company has been guided by deep-rooted ethical values, trust, and an unwavering work ethic.
