“This is the 4th home that we have bought and by far Lori has been amazing to work with. Lori has made our transition of moving to another state seamless and was very responsive to answering questions and providing correspondence in ensuring we met timelines with the builder of our home. We highly recommend using NBKC bank and Lori in finding your next home!”
—Kenyon and Chinel from from Charleston, SC
“Our rep Lori Larson is the most competent rep I have ever worked with. The process was fast, well documented, and easy to navigate. Go with Lori for the lowest cost, pain-free mortgage experience possible. I highly recommend Lori!”

“Lori has been so amazing during our whole process. I tried using her once before but was unable to after she did so much work, so I knew I had to use her again after her immediate responses. Lori was always eager to answer our questions, no matter how big or small. She communicated well with our realtor, the closing agent etc. We even had to change something last minute, she accommodated made it work immediately and never got flustered. It was a pleasure working with Lori...and she had great rates. Highly recommend Lori for all of your lending needs.”

“We completed a complicated non-conforming loan with Lori. She went beyond expectations, got us the lowest rate, and was a wonderful communicator. She was detail oriented, so we didn't have to be. She answered all our questions professionally - big or small. I highly recommend her.”
—KBadola from from Miami Beach, FL
“I have a great experience working with Lori. She is very professional and responsive. Thanks to her and NBKC bank, the whole process of my home purchase went so smoothly that we were even offered an option to closing within 21 days!”
—Lei Shi from from Suwanee, GA
“I have purchased many homes and worked with several lenders...and have to say, Lori is THE BEST EVER!! I'm very thankful that my realtor recommended Lori! My husband and I were preapproved by another lender. Unfortunately, the house that we found was out of the comfort level of our current realtor who recommended that we find another realtor. We were planning on staying with the same lender that we started the process with, however when I contacted that lender she was on vacation and unreachable. The home purchase needed to move very quickly and I did not have time to wait for our current lender, so we moved forward with a recommendation from our new realtor, and that was Lori! I reached out to Lori, sent her all my financial documents and by the very next morning, she had Pre-Approval letter ready to go! I was blown away by not only her super quick response but the options that she had for us superseded our original lender, significantly! Needless to say, we decided to work with Lori. The entire process was hands-down the best that I have ever experienced. Very responsive, very informative, and she even gave options and recommendations. Lori knows her stuff! We are extremely happy our decision to go with Lori. I won't work with anyone else from this point going forward. Thanks Lori, we appreciate you!!”
—CaraSolano from from El Dorado, CA
“Lori was a joy to work with throughout our home search across the better part of a year. She guided us through complex questions, helped us navigate a tricky closing (including an overseas POA due to deployment), and went above and beyond in her communication/responsiveness. We will undoubtedly always turn to Lori for our mortgage needs. It was also very clear she works hard to build trusted relationships with the realtors she works with.”
—Kate Cullen from from West Harrison, IN
“Lori was awesome in obtaining our VA loan! We had a very complicated situation and she hung in there every step, always communicating and assisting along the way. Thank you so much Lori!! I will be telling everyone about your stellar customer service. Thank you!!”

“Lori is a wonderful lender to work with. During our loan application process she was always on the top of the things and was always available to answer any questions that we had. She went above and beyond to make sure the loan will be approved on time for the closing. Lori will always be our go-to lender if we want to get another loan. We will also highly recommend her services to all our friends and family.”
—Ramin from from Milford, CT
“This is the second time I've used Lori for a mortgage loan. She was responsive, provided alternatives that we weren't aware of, and made the loan application and origination process the easiest part of the home purchase process. Will continue to use Lori for all our mortgage needs and recommend others do the same!”
—Mary Eichenberg from from Lenexa, KS
