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.
“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! ”

“Chris was great and made the process easy! Chris was always available to answer questions and responded quickly during the entire process. NBKC came through with low rates again. This was my 3rd home loan with them.”
—Eric I from Merritt Island, FL
“My experience with Chris had been absolutely amazing!! He went above and beyond for me during this process. He communicated efficiently and effectively, he answered all of my questions (no matter how small) respectfully, and he displayed incredible care and concern about my purchase and loan needs. I can't say enough positive things about him! You won't be disappointed. ”
—Ta'Shema Odoms from Farmington, MI
“I always have high expectations when dealing with financial people. Chris far exceeded all of such expectations - from the initial phone call to the closing. More than I expected and my realtor also made a couple very favorable comments resulting from her interaction.”
—hippensteels5 from Nashville, TN
“Chris Jumps came highly recommended by our realtor, and it turned out to be one of the best referrals we've ever received. From our initial contact through to post-closing, Chris was consistently informative, quick to respond, and incredibly easy to work with. He is a true expert in his field who genuinely prioritizes his clients' best interests. His service was outstanding, and NBKC provided excellent rates with unbeatable fees.”
—Anisa Kheir from Houston, TX
“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
“I reached out to many vendors and a broker after getting my quote from Chris. Nobody else was able to offer a better quote. He gave us his best quote right off the bat, no back and forth needed. Working with Chris was also very smooth and easy. He was often available after business close and happily answered all of our many questions. As first time home buyers this was a confusing process that was made very easy by working with an expert.”
—Tim Wendt from Prairie Village, KS
“This was my first time buying a home and Chris was nothing but helpful. He walked me through every step and was so honest. Ever other lender I talked to during this process was dodging me and making things way to complicated. Not Chris. He kept in simple and straight forward. This process moves really fast and he was one step ahead of the game with me. He was easy to reach. Whenever I had a question a few minutes would pass and I would get a response. There are not enough great things to say about Chris! ”
—Taryn Tomas from Los Banos, CA
“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
