Flexible and responsive

The Lender I Trust With My Clients and My Own Home
“As a realtor, I work with lenders regularly, and Craig Park is the one I trust enough to recommend to my clients. He truly cares about helping people get the best deal possible, and I’ve yet to find another lender who can consistently offer rates and terms as competitive as his. He recently handled my personal refinance as well, and the service was exceptional—great communication, honest advice, and a smooth process from start to finish. Highly recommend.”
—Ashley Hoer from Platte City, MO
The best team to work with!

—Stephanie Becerra from Chicago, IL
Easy and quick communication
“Craig may be the only person i have ever “met” with quicker communication skills than i have - answering emails within minutes, any time of day. The whole loan process went smoothly.”
—Daniel Rosino from Cedar Park, TX
Very Responsive
“From the start of the process Craig was very efficient and responses to all our emails and phone calls. He was even responsive to emails on the weekends when we didn't expect it.”
—joe watts89 from Lees Summit, MO
Smooth, honest, and stress-free for first-time buyers
“As first-time homebuyers, we knew next to nothing about mortgages, but Craig and his team made the whole experience painless. He never made us feel silly for asking basic questions, and he took the time to actually explain things over the phone. The communication was also fantastic. Craig answered most emails within an hour, phone calls were returned the same day. Somehow his team made underwriting — which everyone had warned us would be brutal — feel like a non-event. Highly recommend Craig and his team! ”
—Eleanor Innis from Lansdowne, PA
Wonderful to work with
“Craig and Molly were excellent partners in helping my husband and me secure our first home purchase. It went more smoothly than I could have imagined. I would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home!”
—Kennedy Murphy from Milwaukee, WI
Craig Park was Amazingly Fast (9 days from initial contact to Closing!!) , Very Responsive & Efficient, Smoothest transaction I ever had.
“I can't praise Craig Park and the entire NBKC Bank team that worked on the funding of our new primary home. I contacted Craig Park with less than two weeks to closing and he assured me that he could get us our mortgage by closing. Every step along the way Craig Park was supper clear with communications of the steps we needed to take and the progress. The entire I was preparing myself for a last minute scramble for something to fall apart and not having the funding for the closing. But on day 9, with a week to go until closing, we were giving confirmation that we were granted loan. Cant't thank Craig Park and his team enough. Craig will be my first call on all my future funding needs. ”
—Anthony Fasolas from Myrtle Beach, SC
