About Mike Yarbrough
Advice for New Home Buyers
Interview 2-3 lenders before you start shopping and don’t feel you must use the lender a realtor recommends.
Knowledgeable, professional, responsive, a step above the rest.
“Mike was wonderful to work with. He made the entire process easy by helping my husband and me every step of the way. I had a ton of questions and he would respond promptly and knowledgeably.”

Great Service, Communication, & Knowledge
“I've had the pleasure of refinancing twice with Mike. Very friendly, personable, and answered all my questions - and trust me, I asked a lot. The second time, he contacted me advising rates were at a record low, which I had no clue. If he didn't reach out, my mortgage would be 15% higher than what it's now. Highly recommend Mike, great person in general and a great professional to work with.”
—Chris W. from from San Bernardino, CA
Very informative and responsive
“Mike was great to work with throughout the process. He was able to answer all of our questions in a clear and understandable way and he always did so in a timely fashion. He was also extremely fast at pushing our application through the process and we were able to close on our refinance very quickly.”

Wow!
“Mike was great! He was very quick to respond to emails and made the whole process stress less. Not to mention, he gave me a heck of a deal! I will definitely recommend Mike to anyone buying or refinancing in the future. You will not regret it!”

Great communication & a pleasant experience
“When we were refinancing, I requested information from three different lenders to compare rates and costs. Mike helped me understand the refinancing process and the costs involved. He patiently fielded my questions and uncertainty as I looked at various offers. I especially appreciated his prompt replies to my emails, and closing costs with NBKC were significantly lower. There are a lot of players involved in refinancing, but Mike made it seem easy and kept me well informed. Our online closing was much simpler than past in-person closings. It was a pleasure to work with Mike.”

“Mike is diligent and follows through. He is helpful and keeps you informed. Thanks for the help. We closed on a refi with an excellent rate. Historically low and Mike helped get us there.”

gently persistent and a keeper
“We would like to appreciate Mike's gentle tenacity to keep following up for almost four weeks while we considered another lender. And it clicked since we decided to switch to Mike@NBKC. Thank you Mike for helping us with this loan process. It was a pleasure working with you.”
—LiveLongCA from from Cupertino, CA
Mike Yarbrough was fantastic!
“Mike Yarbrough was out loan officer and he was fantastic! Any qualms/concerns I had about working with a non-local loan officer (I live in Albuquerque) were quickly put to bed by Mikes responsiveness, availability, promptness, professionalism, and his guiding my wife and I through process! This was our first home purchase and Mike was there to help ensure the things went smoothly, and on time, such that, come closing day, (1) we’re well informed, (2) there were no surprises, so we could sign with confidence. I highly recommend Mike specifically for anyone looking for a mortgage lender!”
—Mark O. from from Albuquerque, NM
Professional, Caring, Focused on Client
