About Us

Flagstone Financial was founded in 2001. Darren Smith, with his CPA and MBA in finance, was brought on as a partner in 2005 to run the commercial lending division.

We offer all mortgage types, though, due to our extensive financial backgrounds we specialize in jumbo & super-jumbo mortgages. Our concierge lending approach means that every client no matter the size of the loan will receive the best personal service and attention to detail throughout the mortgage process.

Flagstone Financial has been recognized not only by our industry peers and regulatory authorities but more importantly, our clients for consistently being the best at what we do.

We provide a "Concierge Lending" approach with our clients. That means you will receive the best personal service and attention to detail throughout the loan process. You'll have the direct line, cell phone and e-mail address for Darren and his assistant assigned to your loan. There are no call centers at Flagstone. We believe in the "human touch" along with personal responsibility and accountability for your mortgage needs.

When you work with us you are not just a transaction, but a client with whom we seek a long-term relationship to be your lender for life. Our company's Mission Statement is as follows:

We will treat every client - Professionally, Respectfully, Honestly, & Fairly.

The most important thing when seeking a mortgage is not just a great rate and low closing-costs, but working with someone you can trust. Over ninety-five percent of our business is repeat and referral. The only way to achieve that it to work in a manner that makes you referable - to be referable your clients have to not only know and like you, but trust you.

We encourage you to read some of the actual testimonials on our website. These are real letters from real clients that obtained loans of all types, conforming, jumbo, super jumbo and home-equity loans telling their story of working with us. We've posted them so that you can see the type of experience and service that you can expect when obtaining buying or refinancing with Flagstone Financial.

Whether you're looking for a jumbo or super-jumbo loan to buy a home, refinancing your conforming loan for a better rate/term, or need a home-equity loan, our goal is to make it the best mortgage experience you've ever had.
