Tena is so incredibly easy to work with and thorough. I have worked with her on multiple mortgages and will again if need be. I can not say enough good things about her!

Tena Cornwell at South State Bank was such an important asset for us as we went through the loan process. We needed a loan in just 3 weeks. She worked quickly and diligently to get all of our paperwork in order. Our loan was approved and processed in time for our closing date. We highly recommend Tina and South State for any of your mortgage needs!
