WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT

"Friendly service from a local, hometown bank!  It was a great experience using Blackhawk Bank to buy our new home. Victoria France's professionalism made the process easy and comfortable as she guided us through every step."

 

"Julia Fiorucci and Jared Fewell were so much help! I found all the Blackhawk Bank staff to be very informative, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly every time I walked in the door, or via phone. The whole refinancing of my mortgage was explained to me step-by-step, and made clear, so I understood it."

 

"We recently switched banks and it was the best decision ever. Never have we had such amazing customer service from the time we opened our checking account to our house refinancing. The representatives at Blackhawk Bank actually care about your financial success and help you along the way from the constant barrage of questions on our end to their timely responses. We are grateful to Sara Reque and Tammy Fanning for their assistance and thoughtful advice. We have found our forever bank!"

 

"As first-time homebuyers, Kelly Pospischil made our experience easy, comfortable and efficient. No matter the question or time of day, Kelly was always available to help us feel at ease. Even before we had our home officially picked out, he was there every step of the way. Kelly always kept us in the know of our loan and what the next step was. We would highly recommend Kelly Pospischil for any of your financing needs."

 

"I appreciated the family approach that Warren Swanberg offered me in my loan process. He gave me the time to chat and be a person outside of the business transaction. Buying a house is a big deal, and to feel like I could be warm and friendly and tell him I was nervous and scared, and for him to make sure I felt comfortable with information was very reassuring and helpful. I never had any surprises during the process or at closing."

 

"Kristi Amenda's experience and expertise are unmatched. I was introduced to Kristi  and I knew from the first conversation that this was the right choice. She always had a pleasant tone and positive outlook - even when there were potential roadblocks. Kristi worked her magic - she kept me well-informed and always offered several options and approaches. I am thankful to everyone at Blackhawk for getting me to closing! And a special thank you goes to Kristi Amenda for her hard work and diligence. 

 

"We felt very comfortable trusting Rob Grindle and his team. They are always just a phone call away and willing to answer any of our questions. In the past 5 years, we have set up two new mortgages and one refinance with Rob and his team!" 

 

"We will tell everyone we know about our great experience working with Rachel Oracki! We were happy with the interest rates for our mortgage and appreciated Rachel's willingness to go the extra mile for us. She always responded quickly via email or text and went through every detail with us. This made the process so much less stressful than it could have been and we felt confident going into closing."

 

"Jared Fewell really took a lot of the pressure that goes along with the homebuying experience off of me. Buying a home is stressful and Jared and his assistant were there every step of the way. I really appreciated all of the communication and timely response time. We had discussions on weekends and after normal business hours. They always got back to me the same day and responded quickly when we were interested in a property. Thanks to Jared and others who helped along the way "

 

"Sara Reque was absolutely amazing! Before coming to Blackhawk, we had a few unpleasant experiences with other lenders. With Blackhawk, we were able to close quickly. Even with a few weird hiccups due to titling issues, we were still able to close on time, locked in a great interest rate and ended up with a cash out refi that was still $100+ cheaper a month. We will ALWAYS come back to Blackhawk for any mortgage needs."

 

“Kelly Pospischil was outstanding. Anytime I had questions, he was quick to answer. Everyone I had contact with was extremely friendly and helpful. It felt like the old days when you had a small-town banker. Please don't ever change. Your way of business is refreshing and wonderful. Thank you!”  

 

"Big community bank - but very up close and personal. I have bought many properties over the years, but working with Blackhawk, and specifically Warren Swanberg, has been the best experience yet. You deal with one person throughout the entire process."

 

"Kristi Amenda  helped bring my dream into reality. I am a single parent who always dreamed of buying a home. I consulted with Kristi  several times about the home buying process. Kristi helped me remain calm and offered words of encouragement and great advice. The paperwork was a bit overwhelming for me, however, with Kristi by my side, she guided me through it so I understood it. I truly appreciate her and would suggest Kristi to anyone purchasing a home."

 

"Rob Grindle and his team were exceptionally responsive. They were amazingly quick to answer my questions and their directions were crystal clear. And, their personal touch made this the least stressful mortgage experience I've ever had. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

 

"I would recommend Rachel Oracki to anyone who truly wants someone that will be working towards your best interests. Rachel was incredibly organized with the documentation that was required, kept me in the loop when it was sent to underwriting, and made me feel secure in my decisions. I cannot tell you what it meant to have someone be honest with me through the whole mortgage process."
