Black Lab Finance were a critical part of our team when buying our home (Feb 2026). Jake is super well connected, level-headed, responsive and always brings his A-game. Their platforms were easy to use and made the process painless, plus Jake has unmatched experience in the industry. It’s also super easy to support a local family owned business who are serious about contributing our community. If you are borrowing, you want BLF on your side!

Jake was so easy to work with and made the whole home loan process stress free and seamless. His knowledge and expertise in the finance world is unbeatable! He has an amazing team on board, so any finance requirements, he can cover. I, 100% recommend Black Lab Finance for any home loan or personal loan. We never dreamed we would be able to own our own home, but here we are.

Having dealt with dozens of banking institutions over 40 years, my partner and I have never had such a professional and genuinely caring experience like what we have had with Jacob. We had exhausted our options to find a bank to lend us money for a commercial property, combined with a residential residence. After 8 months of knock-backs, we had given up. Until I was given Jacob Arden's phone number. He came and met us in person, understood what we needed and delivered ten-fold! Jacob never gave up. He was constantly in contact with both myself and my partner. There were stumbling blocks but Jake just kept going! Jacob demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. He took the time to understand our financial situation and found a lender who was happy to help us buy our property. The guidance and support we received were invaluable. Jacob's commitment to transparency and customer satisfaction truly sets him apart in the industry. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable finance broker! Black Lab Finance is the B*E*S*T ! PS: We loved our gifts, the chocolate and lollies ;) It's the little things that you least expect, that mean the most.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Jacob Arden at Black Lab Finance to purchase our first home, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From our very first meeting, he was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to our needs. Jacob took the time to guided us through every step of the process. He provided valuable insights about the local market, helped us navigate the paperwork, and answered all our questions—no matter how small or big. We would HIGHLY recommend Jacob Arden from Black Lab finance. An exciting yet scary and stressful experience made so much easier and We can’t thank you enough for that. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you again Jake.

​My experience refinancing our home with Black Lab Finance was positive and straightforward. They were professional and took the time to explain all our options clearly. They handled the entire process efficiently, and the communication was great. I felt confident that I was in capable hands. I would recommend Jake and team to anyone looking to refinance their mortgage.
