Absolutely Outstanding – The Best Lender We've Ever Worked With!
“We worked with Alex McNamara at NBKC Bank for our refinance, and he was absolutely amazing! Even with a 2-hour time difference between us in Oregon and him in Kansas City, Alex was always available, often late at night and even on weekends. He answered every question quickly and clearly, making the entire process incredibly smooth and stress-free. Alex went above and beyond in every way. His professionalism, dedication, and personal touch truly set him apart. This was by far the easiest and most pleasant mortgage experience we've ever had. We can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“Working with Alex was a pleasant experience. I didn’t feel that I was just another “number,” but, Alex made me feel I was the only customer in the entire world. That is what I call REAL customer service. If I needed information, he got on it right away. Yes! I would definitely recommend Alex Thomas McNamara. ”

Wonderful experience with Alex!
“As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions and were learning the process. We shopped around and Alex was able to offer us the lowest rate AND was the easiest and most straightforward to communicate with! He was always available to answer questions and advise us on next steps. We had an extremely smooth closing thanks to him! Would recommend him for anyone!”
—Margaret Murphy from Kansas City, MO
Amazing Experience!
“As first-time home buyers, we expected the mortgage process to be stressful and overwhelming—but thanks to Alex McNamara at NBKC, it turned out to be the exact opposite. From the moment I filled out the online form, Alex called immediately and was there every step of the way. Whether by text, phone, or email, his responsiveness and communication were top-notch. What really stood out was not just his professionalism and deep knowledge, but how genuinely kind and easy to talk to he was. He made a complex process feel simple and manageable, and at every turn, it felt like we had a friend looking out for us—not just a loan officer doing his job. Alex is as competent and reliable as they come, and I honestly can’t imagine working with anyone else if we ever go through this process again. Truly a great person and a pleasure to work with.”
—Auston Marineau from Saugatuck, MI
Made the process so easy
“I can’t thank Alex enough for his assistance on our loan. The process was smooth and effortless. Alex explained everything so well, which, as first-time homebuyers, was so valuable. He helped us secure the best rate possible, and checked in every step of the way to make sure we were comfortable and confident. Would recommend him to anyone. ”
—Dan Duncan from Kansas City, MO
