Maria Phelps was exceptionally professional, responsive and informative when coordinating the recent sale of our primary home and the purchase of another. With her help, we were able to sign documents for both transactions on the same day, inspite of there being 2 different title companies involved. In the past decade, Maria has helped us in the purchase of 3 homes, as well as 1 refinance. She is our go-to person at Black Diamond Mortgage.

Recommend Ben with 5 STARS. Ben personally was fantastic! We were in the process of choosing a leader and was feeling stressed out. Best thing he told us was 'you're new homeowners learning the ropes. If you choose me, this is a relationship from here on out, from this home onto your next. He said he didn't want to ever lead us wrong because he wanted this relationship to continue. If we ever needed him to call anytime and he'll be there for us.' Of course not those exact words but he sold us right then because he made us feel comfortable, and from day one he always did is best by us. He even showed up at closing just to make sure he was there to answer any questions we had. Also, I accidently called him on a Sunday at 7:00am not realizing the day or time, and he said no worries at all and got right to business. What service! Truly, we are so happy with the Ben with Black Mortgage and Heidi Lane our Realtor duo we had. Great teamwork, always kept us informed from both angles, and we'll send referrals to both any chance we can. Thank you Ben! Sorry it took me a month to leave this review for you. But we LOVE our house and couldn't thank you enough for everything

Black Diamond Mortgage What can I say? Well let me start by saying the BEST mortgage company we have ever worked with. These people went above and beyond for us. When I say that I truly mean it.

Kept me from losing my mind throughout the whole process. So if you need a mortgage company that is beyond dedicated to helping you get your DREAM HOME this is the one to choose. They are absolutely amazing. I can’t stress enough how great they are. Look no further this is the mortgage company you need!! Thank you for everything Kevin & Amy North

We purchased a property from out of state prior to our move, and Heather was very knowledgeable about the lending and home-buying process, as well as extremely communicative and patient. Throughout the entire process, it felt like she was on our side and wanted what was best for our family. I appreciated her honest and genuine personality. I would highly recommend her and her team and wouldn't hesitate to work with her again!

We had a phenomenal experience with Black Diamond from start to finish.

Throughout the loan process, we received excellent customer service from the entire Black Diamond team. My husband and I were first time homebuyers and had lots of questions. We felt comfortable asking anything and everything and trusted the guidance the Black Diamond team provided. I will recommend them over and over again.

When my wife and I thought that we had no options left to consolidate our debt after trying to apply through our mortgage company, my wife decided to call black diamond mortgage as they helped us purchase our home to begin with. They were able to help us get a home equity loan that we had no idea we could even apply for. They were helpful, communicative, and kind throughout the whole process and being able to attain this refinance is truly life altering for us. I have recommended black diamond to others and will continue to only send friends and family to no one else. From the bottom of my family's hearts thank you so much!

Last year I did a mortgage with Heather and Kristina and immediately went back to them this year to buy a 2nd property in Bozeman. this one was more of a challenge given it was a new construction with tons of delays from the builder/subs and the City of Bozeman to get the paperwork filed and the condo completed. Again they were super professional and kept me appraised of the situation and the loan all throughout the process. I know interest rates are crazy but I wanted a unit for my college student at Montana State that he could easily walk to classes from the condo. Happily we closed last Fri and I just figure I am dating this mortgage rate and married to the property. I will work on paying it off or refinance with Black Diamond Mortgage in the future once rates correct. Separately, I worked with Heather Nelson and her processor Kristina @ Black Diamond to do a reverse mortgage on a condo I bought in Bozeman. It will be an investment property this year and our college son and a roommate will live in it next year. I am self employed and finding financing can be a challenge. They were the best to work with! Heather kept me informed the entire process, assisted with the steps required to close. The closing was virtual and very easy with a notary Heather recommended in CO where I live the majority of the time. I will use Black Diamond Mortgage again for my next property in MT. They are full of Aloha!

We were looking for homes in the Whitefish, Kalispell area and needed a mortgage company to help us find the best rates since interest rates are so high. I googled mortgage companies and found Black Diamond. Called and I got to talk with Zach, he was very helpful answering all of our questions. Started a loan application and within a day he gave us the preliminary pre approval with just a little bit of information and our credit check. Huge relief and such amazing customer service. We really started shopping for homes and found one that we liked. We put in an offer, the offer was accepted and had our pre approval and loan started the next day. It was an easy 30 day close. Black Diamond really made us feel like part of the family and they would do everything they could to help us. They really are amazing. We would highly recommend them to anyone.

I initially called Black Mortgage because I found out that my other lender was from CA and going to handle my MT loan. I wanted someone local. I was in touch with Zach first. From the beginning, he made me feel like I was already a part of the team. He stayed in contact with me for months when my other homes' financing fell through. FINALLY when I was ready to purchase in MT, him and Maria worked so well together to make my dream come true! And to top it off, Maria was present at Signing Day! I am so lucky to have found such a caring group of individuals. Thanks!

As a realtor, I can heartily recommend Rylee Kuntz, Loan Originator at Black Diamond Mortgage. She was creative, hard-working, responsive, and thorough. She and the team at Black Diamond Mortgage made it happen for my clients who are now the proud owners of a beautiful property in the Flathead Lake area.

We cannot give enough praise to Zach, Kristina and the whole team at Black Diamond Mortgage. They took a threat level midnight situation with a previous lender to a 14 day closing. Superior communication skills, amazing organization and actual follow through. We will recommend this company over and over again! Thank you guys SO much!

If I could give them 10 stars, I would! We could not have had a better experience with Black Diamond! From start to finish, they were knowledgeable, professional, super responsive, and willing to do whatever they could to help us get a house. We needed a fast closing and they worked so hard to make it happen. Maria and Katrina were both so incredible! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I don’t even know where to begin with how incredibly amazing our experience with Maria at Black Diamond Mortgage was. My fiancé and I are both self employed , which carries a lot of challenges when buying a home. Maria made the process educational, fun & quite predictable (which is a good thing in this market … we didn’t want any surprises) ! I went into it unsure of how long it would take & uneasy about our home buying status. Maria was extremely responsive and helpful every single step of the way. Now , I sit here in the morning sun sipping coffee in our beautiful home , so full of gratitude for Black Diamond and the roll they played in making our dream a reality. These people are doing more than connecting people to lenders … they want success for each and every person who crosses their path.

We had a great experience with Black Diamond - one of the reasons we chose them is because someone reached out 'after hours' on a Friday as we were prepping to make an offer on a house, and they were able to get us a quick preapproval and letter etc. Extremely helpful during the process. As with any mortgage process, there were bumps, one especially a day or two before closing, the lender made some unusual requests, and the team made sure to help me find info they were asking, and ensured an item that was not relevant was taken off the final checklist of docs required. Worked primarily with Zach F. and towards the end Heather N. was also extremely helpful and responsive.

The team at Black Diamond helped us finance our first home recently. They’ve been nothing but professional and helpful along the way. In a crazy housing market, when need your team to be dialed, they have been quick to respond and get all our ducks in a row. Having a local team that knows the market, and knows you as a borrower has been such a pleasant experience. We will 100 percent use them in the future and recommend them to friends and family when buying in the Flathead valley.

I felt I wasn't ready to be a homeowner. I needed to be one though because of current economic situations. First time going through this process had me insanely full of anxiety. Black Diamond and Ashley Peters worked so hard to calm me and listen to my fears. I admit, I pushed back. I tried to find options in other lenders, as I thought it was the responsible thing to do. I did not find a better offer and in fact, their offers continued to better suit my needs. I appreciate them and their work, their care, their help and for my home. I'd recommend them to anyone. Regardless of where you think you need to be financially, they have multiple ways to help you. Go see them ❤

From the time we started with they were easy to get a hold. I would get texts and phone calls answer even later on to the evening. Which worked great with my work schedule. Everything was done quickly after we got them the information they needed. Seemed to have good communication between each employee, even if we talked to someone different then our go to person the other person new our account. Had some good personal touches, I would get a text once a week just to see if how things were going. Overall great experience.

As a licensed real estate agent, and as a client, I can tell you first hand that Black Diamond Mortgage is awesome! Zach Falk -loan officer, is a great communicator, on top of it, and the BDM team that I got to know while under contract was wonderful. In the end, they delivered as hoped and expected and I have no regrets but am full of appreciation.

Black Diamond helped us convert our construction loan to a VA home loan. Zach confidently guided us through a challenging process and ultimately landed a better interest rate than we ever anticipated. Black Diamond and Zach have earned unreserved kudos and recommendations. We will definitely do business with them in the future.

We have worked with Black Diamond three times now and are always very pleased. Dave, Zach, Maria and Sam are all so friendly, efficient and great to work with. We appreciate the relaxed atmosphere in the office and Dave’s willingness to share his knowledge. Dave and Zach listened carefully and thoughtfully to us and created a plan that worked best for us.

Black Diamond Mortgage, and Darel Handley were exceptional in providing our mortgage finance. There were many challenges to our process. Darel was so patience and encouraging. His commitment to helping us purchase our dream property was supportive even when it looked like it might not happen. You could tell he worked for us so hard because he wanted us to have it too! Definitely recommend with no hesitation!!

This may be my first online review of anything period. Terry at Black Diamond Mortgage was fantastic to work with!! My wife and I were first time home buyers this past fall/winter and had many questions regarding everything related to the home buying process. Terry was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and a great communicator. 5/5 stars. We strongly recommend Terry and his team and will be using them for future home purchases.

Maria Phelps does an excellent job at ensuring that the lending process is smooth from beginning to end. She has great communication with all parties of the home buying process from buyers to real estate agents and title companies. Working with her, I have all the confidence buyers will be well qualified and be in excellent hands. Highly recommend Maria!

Our house would not have closed had it not been for Terry Falk. The multiple heroics he performed to not only rescue our loan a big loan company had dropped the ball on but then to resolve a non-stop set of issues from the seller. Not sure how to even sure how to expresses the level of gratitude necessary to appropriately recognize the way he went over, above, and beyond all reasonable expectations. We actually switched to Black Diamond Mortgage Corporation because our buyer's loan with them was going so much smoother than our own. They know what they are doing and are the best in the game! Thank you, Terry and Black Diamond!

Moving mountains is a great way to describe the team at Black Diamond. Matt Rizzolo and Maria Phelps and others behind the scenes. Prompt, Patience, and thoroughly loan magicians. Tip of the cap to Maria for going above and beyond. Matt was very creative and is the BEST loan officer in the valley. I live in WF and will send all friends and family to Black Diamond. Thanks again and WOW. I'm so impressed. Wish I could get another loan but I got 3 with them and couldn't do anymore. Or I would. Please do yourself a favor and see BlackDiamondMortgage

We had a wonderful experience with Black diamond Mortgage and Maria as our agent. She was very helpful,always available, and with very many options. Maria has a go getter attitude of making things happen. She helped us when other banks refused or wanted to force us into risky loans with much money down. Maria was fair and able to obtain the mortgage we desired with less money down. Thank you!

  We used Black Diamond for the closing on our house this past winter. We had to change dates multiple times due to personal reasons and they were extremely flexible with us, even over the holidays. Dave made multiple personal trips to our house for meetings instead of making us figure out babysitter/daycare so we could go into the office. If we move again, there is no question that we will use Black Diamond.
