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

Greatest Loan Officer Ever —ancooksey from Layton, UT

If there was an all-time great for lending Shawn is it! From start to finish he gave us a personalized communication we wanted, there wasn’t a day or time I could not reach him. He was so professional and on top of everything from start to finish. I have never done business with anyone but Usaa and a coworker recommended NBKC bank. I am so happy I used them not only did I get a lower rate but he made the process fast and seamless. I will come to Shawn again and again as long as he’s in the industry.

RESPONSE:Terrific review - thank you! We appreciate the opportunity to assist with your VA loan and sincerely thank you for your service to our country. 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

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

Thank you, Shawn and NKBC —Biju N Bhaskaran from Jacksonville, FL

I researched and contacted three vendors when making a decision of who I should choose. You included all the necessary information for me to make a decision and presented the information in a one-page table that was easy to read. You even spent time in explaining them over the phone as well. That made it really easy to make a decision. Even though it was my first time buying a home, your work made the entire process really easy and fast. Great job!

RESPONSE:Terrific feedback and we appreciate the great review! Brian Unruh, CEO
