Best Details & Smoothest Experience!
“CJ has excellent knowledge and makes the many details and steps smooth and clear - least effort of any mortgage process we’ve done in 47 years. He is meticulous and thorough on follow-through, moving the process smoothly from start to finish. He is friendly and professional all at same time. We don’t plan to move again - but would absolutely use CJ if we didn’t - and will recommend him to any friends and family that are looking to move and need his services. ”

If everyone was this good at their jobs the world would be a better place.
“CJ was an amazing loan officer. He knew his job through and through. He is professional, knows the answers to your questions without having to consult anyone, and his experience level is unmatched in my banking experiences. Towards the end of my loan CJ helped me out where nobody else was, and helped get everything buttoned up even though this was no longer his burden, his fault, or his obligation. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid loan officer to streamline the process to look no further. Top notch, 5 stars, no complaints. Will use again no questions.”
—Austin Vadnais from from Palmer, MA

CJ is very good at his job
“I have used CJ for 2 mortgages now and will continue to use him for future purchases. He is easy to get a hold of, not awkward to talk to. When you need a rush on something he does everything he can to get that done, overall I am just very impressed by him and NBKC in general. Best way to get a mortgage!”

Easy to work with!
“CJ was great to work with through the entire process from getting pre-approved to finalizing the loan. I would highly recommend CJ to anyone who is going through the house buying process. The property was out of state, I'm self employed, which has been a headache with some lenders getting them the documentation they need to be pre-qualified, but CJ made the process easy and their software made it easy to provide the documents that we needed to provide. ”
