Terrific!
“I worked with Scott to refinance my mortgage, and it was smooth and low stress. This was the second time I worked with him, previously it was to purchase my house. Highly recommend! ”

Great Experience
“I’m not sure what I expected, as this was the first time I have experienced the process, but it was a joy to sit back and watch your collective expertise in making this whole thing work. Your communication, knowledge, and genuine care in this complex process are much appreciated. In my career as a music educator, teaching and conducting high school students in a band, I always got a thrill from seeing a hundred individual parts come together to produce a cohesive end product. I wish we could have done it as well as you all did in this process. It was a thrill to experience. ”

Well informed and always quick to respond
“We used Scott for a home purchase in late 2023, and then refinanced that purchase in February 2026. Scott is very responsive and always quick to answer my questions. He never hesitated to call and go over the numbers with me, ensuring I felt confident in the transaction. Unlike some loan officers who can feel like car salesmen, I always felt Scott was working for my best interests. I will definitely use Scott for future purchases, refinances, and recommend him to family and friends.”
—MattB from Cornwall, NY
Big Thanks to Scott!
“Working with Scott Benson was a game-changer for our home-buying process. In a market where every offer counts, Scott went above and beyond by personally calling the listing agent multiple times to advocate for us. He made it clear to the sellers that our loan approval was rock-solid and even committed to an aggressive 21-day closing to make our offer stand out. It’s rare to find a loan officer who is that proactive and willing to fight for their clients. If you want a lender who does more than just push paper, Scott is your guy.”
—Damien Tonnelle from Phoenix, AZ
Easy-Peasy
“Working with Scott was delightful, if that can really be said about applying for a mortgage! Really was easy enough especially since this company is tied in with my financial planner. Lots of the required information was provided directly which saved me from digging it up an sending it in. I would definitely recommend Scott and NBKC.”
—Len Scarpace from Fallbrook, CA
Great lender
“Scott has been great for both the purchase and refinance of my home. When we closed on the house, he assured me that he would be in touch when rates dropped enough to justify a refinance. He followed through and made for an easy refinance. ”
—conversefields from Terrebonne, OR
