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!

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!!

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!
