About Rhett Bouvia
Advice for New Home Buyers
Get pre-approved not just pre-qualified before you look at homes!
Way above EXCEPTIONAL
“An exceptional experience. Having been in our starter home (condo) for 39 years we ventured out into a home of our choosing. Being rather new to the game of purchasing a home, we were pleasantly surprised with the ease of the process. Mr. Bouvia did an exceptional job of listing everything that was needed for loan approval. He didn't keep coming back asking for more and more information. Once all items were submitted we only waited a couple of days for loan approval, followed by an ontime closing just 30 days later. Loan rates with other companies were much higher in comparison to what Rhett was proposing. This home purchase process was extremely smooth and I would not hesitate to employ Rhett's services once again. Five Star all the way. Thank you Rhett for a most wonderful experience. ”

Exceptional Loan Officer
“Rhett was great to work with. He was the best rate for the purchase of our home in 6/2025 and let us know we could get a better rate on a refi with no closing costs. We closed quickly and shaved ~10% off our payment. I will gladly work with him in the future.”

Absolute superstar in a time crunch
“We made an offer on a house and the sellers needed to close in less than 3 weeks. We were referred to Rhett by our realtor, and couldn’t be more thankful. The bank we had been pre-approved with was all wishy-washy about whether they could get it done. Rhett and nbkc came through with flying colours. We spoke to Rhett the morning we realized we needed to make the change, which happened to be a day we also needed to be traveling for work. Rhett got us through all our documentation and approvals with amazing assistance in one day, while we were driving! Absolutely no issues at closing, he even got a lower interest rate due to additional funds from the seller. We would absolutely recommend with the highest confidence - and will only ever consider using him!”

Amazing Experience with Rhett as first time Home Buyer!!
“Highly highly recommend working with Rhett on any Home loan. I recently moved back to the States from overseas and was a first-time home buyer and Rhett made the experience literally seamless, so easy, and actually just fun. He worked with me being in a different time zone the entire process and having to acquire credit reports ect. from another country. I never felt stressed; he literally took care of everything without a hitch. Look nowhere else, just call Rhett :) ”

Outstanding
“Rhett Bouvia helped us through the process of purchasing a house for the first time, making everything simple and easy for my wife and I to understand. He displayed a genuine sense of care for us through the entire process, something that is more uncommon as years go by. I would 100% recommend Rhett to anyone as he was one of the most kind, professional, and knowledgeable people that I have encountered.”
—jonahbuss from Paola, KS
Best lender in the country!!!
“Rhett gave us the quality of care which is so hard to find these days. He was so responsive when we had questions and patience enough to explain the same things over and over again. Rhett was so smooth to work with we could have closed this loan out in 2 weeks!! ”
—Tanner Murray from Greenwood, MO
MVP
“Rhett helped me and my wife buy our first home and his knowledge, expertise and communication skills made it super easy and low stress. Rhett was timely and professional in every interaction and regularly provided updates to put me at ease. Can’t recommend him enough. ”
—Kevin A. from Norfolk, VA
This is your guy!
“Rhett helped us buy our first home and I have nothing but positive things to say. He is responsive, patient, an expert in the field, and overall a great guy. He truly cares about your experience and is on your side every step of the way. Would recommend to anyone with mortgage needs - Rhett’s your guy!”
—Miranda S from Meridian, ID
Professional, Dedicated, Compotent
“Rhett was the second lender we connected with in our home buying process and he blew us away. He worked extremely hard on a week when he was on semi-vacation out of office to structure our loan; he was clear about what documentation was needed and didn't ask for anything unnecessary; he got us a deal that was thousands of dollars lower than what we got from the other lender. Throughout the process, Rhett was responsive, compassionate, enthusiastic, and professional. We are confident we got the best deal possible and heartily recommend Rhett to everyone looking to structure a home loan.”
—Kent from Kansas City, MO
Enthusiastic and Clear
“Rhett's enthusiasm and friendliness stands out. He was always willing to engage and worked hard to be available. He kept on top of communication, so I was clear what the next step involved. He made efforts to not just do his responsibilities but go beyond to be helpful.”
—Seth from Overland Park, KS
