Advice for New Home Buyers
Have fun and stop to enjoy the process, as you only get to buy your home so many times. Use your Loan Officer as a member of your team rather than act as a client of theirs.
“Chris was wonderful to work with. He was available and happy to answer all of my questions and was super helpful throughout the entire process. I was very happy with my experience working with Chris!”
—Lauren King from Kansas City, MO
“Went under contract right before thanksgiving him and his team worked thru the holidays to make sure I closed on time would definitely recommend NBKC! ”
—jcook0925 from Minneapolis, MN
“Chris was super fast, precise and clear in his communication and guided me through the process with great professionalism. I felt like a rebel moving from my current bank - but they simply could not compete with NBKC in cost, rate and timeliness. ”
—gbeland from Logan, UT
“We are incredibly thankful to Chris Jumps for his outstanding support in helping us buy our first home! His services were truly exceptional, and words cannot express our gratitude. Chris consistently provided rapid responses to all our questions and guided us through every step of the process with unmatched patience and expertise. We feel so fortunate to have had him by our side during this important journey. Thank you, Chris, for making our dream a reality and for being such an invaluable part of this milestone in our lives!”
—Dominic Reyes from Loxahatchee, FL
“Chris helped in what I feel was a unique situation. Not only was I in the way with my daughter's purchase of a condo, the condo was part of a probate process. He had to deal with 'tit for tat' lawyers who wanted their own way. Chris was able to get the loan completed which allowed the probate process to close. ”
—Ron Newhard from Chicago, IL
“From the beginning of the process (when I sent an inquiry about a rate quote) through the application and all the way through our closing, Chris Jumps and NBKC provided outstanding service. He helped me understand the whole process while I was shopping for the mortgage; and every step of the way, they gave all the information I was looking for, when it came to finalizing the paperwork and financing for my purchase. Chris answered my every inquiry nearly immediately. He made himself available by phone, email, and text. And, they offered the best loan terms by the numbers (rate, points, and fees). ”
—Erik Nilsson from Montclair, NJ
“From the start of my home buying journey, Chris at NBKC impressed me. During pre-approval across multiple lenders, he was the most responsive, knowledgeable, and offered the best initial rates. Later, facing a tight closing timeline and very competitive housing market, I unfortunately went with a realtor-recommended broker and was shocked to find myself with a higher-than-average rate just weeks before closing. Panicked, I reached out to Chris. He was incredible. Within 24 hours, he completed underwriting and secured a rate a full 1% lower than the other broker – and the lowest available that day! Chris's expertise and speed saved us from a potentially costly mistake. To be exact, he saved us $160,891 over life of the loan, and $1245 on loan application fee. Highly recommend Chris and I know I owe this man a beer if we ever cross path. If rates ever go down in the future to refinance, Chris will be the first person to call. ”
—Moe from Andover, NJ
“We can't sing enough praises for our amazing mortgage loan officer! As first-time homebuyers from Cincinnati, Ohio, we were navigating unfamiliar territory, but our loan officer made the process seamless. His availability and prompt responses (often within 15 seconds!) were impressive and reassuring. His expertise and knowledge of mortgage options were exceptional, and he secured us an incredible deal that exceeded our expectations. We felt confident and supported throughout the entire journey. If you're looking for a stress-free and successful mortgage experience, look no further! - Evans and Doreeter, thrilled first-time homebuyers from Cincinnati, Ohio.”
—Blessed ones from Hamilton, OH
“Chris made the process of securing our loan simple and seamless. He was easy to get in touch with, and he responded quickly with attention to detail. ”
—Erin Hammerle from Snellville, GA
“We had an amazing experience working with Chris Jumps when purchasing our new home! From start to finish, he was incredibly transparent, always quick to respond, and available whenever we had questions. His clear communication and helpful guidance made the process smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciated his expertise and dedication, and we couldn’t have asked for a better loan officer. Highly recommend—5 stars all the way!”
—Kimberly Gonzalez from Midvale, UT
