Advice for new home buyers

Pay additional principle on every payment.

VA Refinance —moonparks93 from Alexandria, VA

I would highly recommend Shawn at NBKC bank. My husband and I were very unhappy with our previous lenders and we were very skeptical about loan companies and the refinancing market in general. Shawn at NBKC Bank responded to our questions and concerns in a very timely manner and helped us to refinance smoothly and quickly. He changed our previous perspective and stereotype toward mortgage companies.

RESPONSE:We appreciate the opportunity to help with your VA loan and sincerely thank you for your service to our country - thank you! Brian Unruh, CEO

On purpose and over the top! —John F. from Everett, WA

Shawn is dedicated, on purpose, responsive and cheap! In short: the best of all worlds. We had a great time, got the job done and completed on time and in place.

RESPONSE:John, we appreciate you sharing your experience working with Shawn and the nbkc team - thanks! Brian Unruh, CEO

Would definitely recommend —darrencrews70 from Everett, WA

The whole process was much easier than I anticipated. Shawn did a great job of keeping everything moving along to make sure we closed on time. Would definitely recommend to others.

Consumate Professional, Strong Communicator, Sets Expectations —Brian H. - Redmond, from Redmond, WA

I connected with Shawn after I fired a different provider who couldn't close a loan in less than 2 1/2 months. Shawn kept me well informed on the steps and information needed, and the progress to closing. He made it seem simple and he set the right expectations as he found the best rate and worked on our closing. It was a pleasure and a relief. I highly recommend working with Shawn.

RESPONSE:Brian, thank you for sharing your experience working with Shawn - we appreciate it! Brian Unruh, CEO

VA IRRL —user27472517 from Bristow, VA

I was skeptical about using something through Zillow. However i gave it a go. Shawn got me from 4.15 to 2.75... Thats insane isnt it? Very quick to respond to any questions. Low rate, low fees, quick turn around. I am extremely pleased.

RESPONSE:We appreciate the opportunity to help with your VA loan and sincerely thank you for your service to our country. Also, thank you for the 5 star review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Timely & Responsive, plus Accurate Quotes —Bryan from Rosemount, MN

My experience with NBKC & Shawn in particular was flawless. The rate was the lowest I could find, and the closing fees were rock bottom. Both outmatched the local competition. When the loan closed, the terms and fees were almost exactly as shown on the first estimate done by Shawn. But the best part was the responsiveness. I did have several questions along the way to my refinance, and Shawn responded within an hour to every question I had, as well as kept me in the loop as the process progressed from one step to the next. I could not have asked for a better experience.

RESPONSE:Bryan, we're so glad to hear it was a great experience and we appreciate you sharing! Brian Unruh, CEO

Shawn —Rebecca, Ut from Midvale, UT

My son found him in 2018 to get the best possible loan rate for his home, so my son recommended him to me when I moved to Utah in 2019. Easy and courteous to work with and also timely. I would gladly recommend him to others.

RESPONSE:Rebecca, we appreciate your recommendation of Shawn and so glad your son told you about him! Brian Unruh, CEO

Highly recommend Shawn and NBKC Bank —gudesigns from West Hempstead, NY

This was a seamless experience. Shawn was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend him. We did have some delays due to Covid-19 but despite that, this was still an easy refinance. Highly recommend Shawn and NBKC.

RESPONSE:We love hearing that you had a seamless process and appreciate your recommendation of Shawn and the nbkc team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Leader of the Pack —Andrew from Herriman, UT

I have had the pleasure of working with Shawn on two occasions, both occasions were wonderful experiences. He is respectful and knowledgeable. He is also very efficient. I will highly recommend Shawn to anyone seeking a good Loan Originator.

RESPONSE:Andrew, thank you for the repeat business and the terrific review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Pretty good customer service! No run around which is awesome. —daddypaulie from Andover, MN

Shawn was on task and kept me informed of the loan process throughout. My only complaint is the time it took to close for the refi was over a month. In their defense they are swamped with refi's currently due to the great rates but I had no indicator that it would take as long as it did from the lender (I had no hiccups either). Communication was fantastic compared to other lenders I was trying to work with and Shawn was clear with his information and explained answers in ways I could understand.

RESPONSE:Thank you for sharing your experience working with Shawn and the team - we appreciate it! Brian Unruh, CEO
