About Ryan Caldwell
Advice for New Home Buyers
Take the plunge, it's a wonderful investment and having owned a home for 20 years it's nice being able to raise a family in a place you can call home.
Accurate, Fast, Friendly - Closed in 30 Days
“NBKC Bank was highly recommended and we’re so happy we got to work with Ryan. We wanted to close in 30 days and Ryan made it happen. My husband and I have bought and sold a few houses and this was easily the smoothest, most efficient loan approval process and closing either of us have ever had. Any time we had a question, Ryan always responded quickly, plus he got us an incredible interest rate. NBKC is a great bank with the amazing loan officer Ryan Caldwell. Have Ryan process your loan approval - you won’t be disappointed.”
—Jenny Fleming from from Orlando, FL
Better than outstanding
“Ryan is the best loan person I have ever worked with in any capacity. I first contacted him on a Friday night, not expecting a response until Monday. He responded right away. In fact, I never had to wait long for a response from him on anything, I couldn't believe it. He is very kind, extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. This was for a refinance but I wish I had known about him for my initial loan. He made an otherwise aggravating process seamless. I can't recommend Ryan enough.”
—Ginger Smith from from Houston, TX

First time home buyer
“As a first time home buyer Ryan was great to work with. He took the time to explain the process of buying a home to me and helped me calculate what I was able to afford. Ryan set me up with great loan for a first time home buyer with a great interest rate. He was very easy to get ahold of and kept me informed throughout the loan process. I personally would not want to work with any other Lender than Ryan and would most certainly recommend to all my family and friends.”
—Will mcdermott from from Kansas City, MO

Great Experience!
“Had a great experience with Ryan as my loan officer. We had a seamless quick closing and even though we were in different time zones Ryan was very responsive at all hours of the day. We closed on time with no issues. Ryan kept us informed through the whole process and was great to work with.”
—Rachel C from from Moorpark, CA
NBKC
“As a loan officer Ryan was good. I would give 5 stars to him personally. NBKC's underwriters were another story. I have purchased, sold and refinanced numerous homes in my lifetime and by far, this was the worst experience I have ever had to deal with as far as lenders go. The requests for financial documents was never ending. there were 70+ documents that had to be uploaded. If you're dealing with a financial institution, you would think they would understand the difference between personal taxes being filed on a calendar year basis and a corporate tax returns that are filed based on a fiscal year. Had to explain how the HVAC industry is a seasonal business and a majority of our revenue is made in the summer. Corporate tax returns showed a profitable business each year. A justification response was required for income amounts because the underwriter didn't see an exact deposit for my paycheck being deposited in to my personal accounts. I had to explain, my wife's check and my check were deposited together and you had to add them together to see the deposit amount. The list went on and on. Mind you, we put over 30% down, 800+ FICO score, debt to income ratio very low, plenty of liquid assets. So in closing, the loan was funded and I would use Ryan again, but not NBKC. Pack your patience if you do. DISCLAIMER: Closing date being delayed was not due to the lender, caused by seller related delay.”
