About Us

 

Since 2005 we've been helping investors and business owners achieve their financing goals.  In good markets and in tough times we were there to lend friendly, honest, advice.

At Cornerstone, you're treated like family.  Alot of companies say that, but no one makes it happen quite like we do.  After all, Cornerstone was founded by family members Craig Grella and Sal LoPiccolo, bringing together real world experience in the engineering, construction, finance, and business to business industries.

Our experience enables us to understand your needs and to identify solutions quickly and efficiently. We take the time to get to know our clients.  We understand that you are more than just numbers on a sheet of paper.

In the same way, we believe we are more than just brokers, or analysts.  We invite you to view our bios below so you may get to know us a little better.

When you're ready to discuss your next project, we hope you'll consider Cornerstone.
