About Scott Odell
Advice for New Home Buyers
Find a realtor that you trust. Find a lender that takes the time to prioritize questions and concerns. Advocate for yourself and your family. Don’t let anyone pressure you into making choices that you’re not comfortable with, or that you don’t understand. Buying a home is the largest financial commitment that most people make in their lives. It should be a positive experience, and the professionals working on your behalf should strive to make the experience remarkable.
Best mortgage experience I've had
“Scott was truly terrific to work with and our experience with NBKC has been great! This was our second time using NBKC and both times I've been impressed with how easy it is to work with them to get the best rate that works for us. Being an active service member, it was great to work with a fellow veteran, Scott, who could easily navigate the VA loan process. I'd be happy to work with him again!”

Pleasant and professional.
“I had an amazing experience refinancing my mortgage with Scott! As a first-time refinancer, I had so many questions and concerns, but Scott was incredibly patient and took the time to explain every step of the process in detail. I truly appreciated how transparent and straightforward he was—never pushy, just focused on providing the best service possible. What really stood out was how efficient and responsive Scott was during the bidding phase. He moved quickly to secure great options for me without making me feel rushed or pressured. The whole process felt smooth and stress-free, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Scott! Thank you for making what could have been a daunting process so easy.”
