Advice for New Home Buyers
Your loan and home buying experience is only as good as your loan officer! Be patient, ask questions, and take notes.
“Mark recently helped me to purchase my first home. His service is second to none and I would highly recommend him! His communication skills really set him apart and he helped me through every step along the way. Not only is he an excellent communicator, but he also made himself available whenever I had any questions or concerns. If you are in search of a lender then look no further, Mark is the man for the job.”
—Erika from from Kyle, TX
“Mark was very helpful in making this process go as smoothly as possible! 10/10 would recommend! This was my first time buying a home and Mark was great at helping me through the loan process and educating me on my different options. ”

“We have some previous experience with home-buying so we can definitely tell the night and day difference between working with Mark and previous loan officers. He is straight forward and efficient. Also quick to respond to your questions and helps you every step of the home-buying process. We have had difficulty in the past finding a lender that understands the nature of our job as travel healthcare professionals, given that everyone's financial picture might be different but Mark was able to assist us.”
—Rouchelle from from Mc Intosh, FL
“Mark was extremely helpful and, as a first time homebuyer, explained everything well and made it easy to understand. I'm also a single mom and a FT nurse at a busy hospital, so he would send reminders to me via text and/or email so I wouldn't miss any deadlines. There were always open lines of communication between Mark, my real estate agent, and myself and that made it really easy to make sure that everyone was always on the same page. ”
—Ashley from from Wilmington, DE
“Mark assured we were on top of locking in the best rate possible by frequently touching base throughout our home search process. He was always responsive.”
—Alexandra from from East Brunswick, NJ
“Mark was amazing from start to finish. He was always responsive and going out of his way to ask even the most minute question and as a first time home buyer, I had many of them. ”
—Maggie Koch from from Indianapolis, IN
“I knew nothing about the home purchasing/loan process, and Mark made it very easy for me. It was great having personalized customer service from start to finish which I didn't find at the first lender option I looked into. He made sure each step of the process was very transparent and had my best interest in mind. Definitely would recommend. ”
—Ben Heiliger from from Lawrence, KS
“It was a pleasure to work with Mark Holthaus at NBKC Bank on our recent home purchase. Mark was responsive to all questions, dependable and reliable in accomplishing the task at hand. He went above and beyond to make sure our loan closed on time, while always looking out for our best interests. We are very happy with NBKC Bank and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark to others. Thanks again!”
