Advice for New Home Buyers
Find a loan officer with experience, and that you truly like and trust. The home buying process can be stressful and can come with some pain points. An experienced Loan Officer can make a huge difference in how that process goes, and if you pick correctly on your first house, you will have your Loan Officer for life to handle all the other refinances and purchases that come your way in the future.
“My wife and I were first time home buyers and somewhat clueless with the process. Todd did an excellent job guiding us through the process and helping us get approved despite my favorable income. Not only that, Todd is always very reachable and is happy to answer any questions and facilitated all the paperwork in a manageable and understandable way. He made a daunting task seem very straight forward and there were no surprises throughout the whole process. For those going through the purchase of their first home, or are seasoned home buyers, I provide him my highest recommendation. I look forward to working with Todd on future home purchases!”

“This is my 13th move in the last 31 years, and I haven't had a better experience with a lender. Todd jumped in when my other lender fell out and hit the ground running. Would 100% recommend you check out NBKC as your mortgage company and ask for Todd Shaver by name. You will not be disappointed.”

“Todd was great to work with for my mortgage. Always quick to respond and had answers and explanations for all my questions. I also appreciate the lower fees and competitive rates offered by NBKC.”
—Bryan from San Marcos, TX
“I have had 11 different mortgage in my life. The last 4 have been with NBKC. I have been a member of NFCU for 34 years and they could no longer compete with the service that NBKC provides. Todd works around the clock to make sure I have everything I need. Todd has a great sense of urgency and has been able to get me closed in 3 weeks on the last two mortgages. At NFCU I was getting handed off to inexperienced people, timing was not of concern for them. ”

“I have worked with many mortgage lenders and brokers previously and my experience with NBKC has by far been superior. Todd's team and the staff at NBKC were very efficient and flexible to ensure our loan closed. If you are shopping for a great rate and transparency throughout the process go with these guys they are stella!!”

Coaching my son’s basketball teams (8 years so far), watching sports, working out, grilling/cooking, and spending time with my wife and kids.
After graduating from college with a degree in Nutrition & Exercise Science, my first job was at Gold’s Gym. I was a personal trainer and got my first taste of sales there. A lot of stories in those two years spent at the gym, but fortunately one of my clients recruited me to get into mortgage sales, and that has been my life ever since.
