We had a phenomenal experience with Black Diamond from start to finish. Zach met with us several months before we started “shopping” to help us understand our financial situation and how we could prepare to meet our home buying goals. 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!

After years of searching, we finally found a house, but it would not be an easy transaction.

They were very communicative and helpful, always just a phone call or email away. I would give them more stars if I could.

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. We will definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you Black Diamond for everything.

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!

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.

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.

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 ❤

They always make the process speedy and seem effortless!

I had a great experience with Black Diamond Mortgage. I would recommend them to anyone buying in Montana. Everyone was extremely responsive and made everything easy. Buying a house is stressful and you need to work with folks that know the market and guide you through exactly what to do.

Zach and Dave were amazing to work with! We experienced some twists and turns throughout our house buying process and they walked us through it all in a way that gave us confidence in them and the decisions we were making. We couldn’t recommend Black Diamond more!

Thank you Black Diamond for helping me with my refi. I feel completely comfortable with the new loan Maria and David were able to secure for me. Black Diamond has helped me in the past. If my situation comes around again and I need financial support I will not hesitate to call on David and Maria at Black Diamond Corporation.

Terry was very helpful with getting us a new home loan, explaining everything and staying in touch throughout the construction process. Despite a few setbacks in the end that were out of everyone’s control, Black Diamond Mortgage did all they could to close successfully and keep us happy! Thanks so much Maria, Terry and Sam for your hard work!

We had such an easy experience and Darel helped us every step of the way. His knowledge and expertise made this so painless and we had a quick closing thanks to our awesome realtor Meghan Salois with Remax. Thank you Black Diamond Mortgage for having the best team in town!!

Superior service and knowledge. Can't thank Dave and his team enough for all the time, effort and consideration that went into our current mortgage. Consistent, clear and timely communication. Dave, Zach, Heather and Maria all contributed. This is the third time we've used Dave and the Black Diamond team and we highly recommend them.

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!

Maria and her team went above and beyond helping us through a crazy house purchase! From finding some “fine print” details to help us to making phone calls to get the transaction completed, they made it happen. 100% recommendation Black Diamond Mortage!

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!

Absolutely impeccable service!! Excellent communication and our loan was done one week before close so we were able to close early. I would recommend Terry and Zack Falk to anyone. Thank you Terry and his wonderful team for making our home purchase go so smoothly. Best Regards

I had the immense pleasure of working with Zach Falk through the process of financing my new home, and I cannot say enough about him. He went to every length to ensure that, amidst the difficulties of attempting to close early, everything went smoothly and each step of the process was clearly communicated to all parties involved. Without Zach, I'm not sure we would've made the tight timeline work, and for that I am so very grateful. I will recommend Zach and Black Diamond Mortgage to any of my connections who are looking to buy a home!

Matt and the Blackdiamond team exceeded expectations. If you are struggling to get a loan, these guys will help and not stop! I got exactly what I needed, with good terms. They even lined out a notary up in Homer, Alaska for me because I wasn't in MT during closing! They took care of everything. Wouldn't have been possible without them. Highly recommend to anyone in Montana wanting to buy a house!

I just got done purchasing my FIRST home in Montana. Black Diamond goes above and beyond to make your experience buying a home as stress free as possible. They know how hard it can be buying a home and they have the experience that other offices just don’t have to come together and make it work for their clients. What’s amazing is they don’t bog you down with big words and crazy issues they run into that you don’t need to know about. They do ALL the work for you and, let me tell you, it’s excellent work. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, who you want to build connections with, and for the FASTEST service around choose Black Diamond Mortgage.

Black Diamond and Maria Phelps made our Montana home buying experience feel seemless. Communication was always prompt, and we always knew what was expected of us to help secure our loan. Maria worked tirelessly to get us the best possible rate and helped us get the home if our dreams. The entire staff at BDMC were helpful and we would definitely use BDMC for any home purchases in the future. Thank you for helping us secure our forever home!

We received our initial home loan through Black Diamond and have used them for three refinances, which speaks for itself! With Maria and Dave, we always knew we were getting the best possible rate and lowest closing costs. They were always responsive and punctual even when we knew they were juggling multiple clients. Plus, they are genuine, treat you like an individual, and are cool; So what’s not to love? Keep up the great work!

Black Diamond was 100% amazing on all fronts - they were personable, professional, timely, and organized. My wife and I were first time home buyers and Black Diamond made an overwhelming task seem simple. Zach and the team are awesome! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great loan and an even better experience.

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Black Diamond. When we were searching for mortgage companies, we had a difficult time getting people to respond. Dave responded to us right away and in no time we were working with him on our house. They go above and beyond and are full of integrity. I would highly recommend (and do to anyone I know looking) to work with them for your mortgage needs.

As a Realtor, Black Diamond Mortgage has always been one of my favorite Lenders to work with when representing Buyers AND Sellers. They keep both sides informed during the transaction from start to finish with email and text updates that are clear and concise. Recently I was able to work with them as a consumer and I experienced the #BlackDiamondEffect. Exceptional service! I felt like I had my own personal team working around the clock finding the perfect loan to fit my unique situation. That's service! Thanks Dave, Adelina and Maria!

We have been working with Black Diamond for the past 1.5 years or so and they have been fantastic. Dave reached out to us a few months ago because mortgage rates were improving and he was able to secure a much better rate for us going forward. A fantastic company with truly great employees.

When we first visited Black Diamond Mortgage, we were doubtful that we had the ability to purchase a home.Not only did Maria and Dave help us acquire financing, they helped us through the owner finance process. They answered all our questions (we had a lot of questions), gave us great advice, and made our first home purchase a great experience. I highly recommend stopping by to talk to them if you are interested in buying a home.

Black Diamond Mortgage Company followed up on every question we had. They called us regularly to see if we needed anything. They made the process go smoothly and quickly without a hitch. They were even available outside of the work day schedule to give us help and advice. It was truly a great experience.

  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.
