Great to work with —ANgela from Roseland, VA

Rhett was great to work with. When we had an appraiser low ball our refinance he really helped me brain storm on what our options were. He listen to me rant and was always there to answer a question or ask someone a question. Really appreciate all the help and we got an updated appraisal and close within two weeks.

RESPONSE:Angela, thank you for the wonderful review - we appreciate it! Brian Unruh, CEO

The best customer experience I've ever had —David from Phoenix, AZ

I have now had two separate loans with Rhett, a home purchase and before that a refinance, and somehow he turned banking loan origination into an experience that I enjoyed and felt confident that I everything was handled responsibly. What Rhett does is not normal customer experience, it is extraordinary, and I couldn't recommend him or nbkc more highly as a partner. Honesty, fast responses, quality information, patience, personalized experience, the list goes on. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

RESPONSE:David, we appreciate the repeat business and your recommendation of Rhett and the team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Outstanding Experience —Caitlin Jason from Deland, FL

Rhett is an extremely hardworking lender to work with. After starting my home buying process with a different company and not liking their customer service I reached out to Rhett. He was able to quickly get everything processed and for a great deal less then the lender I was previously working with. He is quick to answer any questions, text messages or calls at all hours of the day or night. I cannot say enough good about him or his work ethic. If you are looking for a knowledgeable lender don’t look any further.

RESPONSE:Caitlin, thank you for the wonderful review and sharing your experience working with Rhett and the team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great experience —ecbl from Issaquah, WA

Rhett was so helpful with our refinance! It was a smooth, easy process and he got us an amazing rate! He was always prompt in responding to us and explaining any questions we had.

RESPONSE:We love hearing that you had a smooth, easy process and appreciate the 5 star review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Attentive and effective —StephanieKaufusi from Orem, UT

We have worked with Rhett twice now and recommend him to everyone looking for a loan. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. Purchasing a home is not an easy process and there are many things that go into it. Rhett would consistently answer all our questions in a timely and courteous manner and proactively kept us updated on the status. There was no delay and things moved quickly because of his attentiveness to details. We’ve loved working with him and will continue seeking him out anytime we need a home loan or refi.

RESPONSE:Stephanie, thank you letting others know about us, for the awesome review, and for the repeat business - big thanks! Brian Unruh, CEO

Everything you could want in a lender —Jordan Buchanan from Sugar Land, TX

For a first time home buyer, my experience was everything I could hope for. Rhett answered emails sometimes within the minute, but always within a few hours and was always willing to answer any stupid questions we might have. He was up front with us about everything and just seemed to want to help us, rather than get our business. No pressure with anything, just there to help. And really seems to understand the ins and outs of what he does.

RESPONSE:Jordan, thank you for the awesome review and big congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO

Best First Time Home Buying Experience! —tdnguyen912 from Houston, TX

Rhett is a phenomenal loan officer. He made the loan process extremely easy to navigate and to understand, especially as a first time home buyer. After shopping around for about 10 different lenders, Rhett's customer service and attentiveness won us over. Not only was he able to quickly respond to our millions of questions; he was also able to get us the best rate possible. I highly recommend working with Rhett!

RESPONSE:Thank you for the terrific review and your recommendation of Rhett and the team! Also, big congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO

First Time Home Buyer —Madeline Buchanan from Sugar Land, TX

The home buying process can be confusing, especially the first time. Rhett did a great job breaking things down and helping us understand. Quick to respond and always so helpful. Thanks, Rhett!!

RESPONSE:Madeline, thank you for the wonderful review and big congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO

Over and Above - Every Time! —jakedmosby from Pomona, CA

We’ve worked with Rhett to finance our first home purchase and three refinances since. Rhett’s customer service and knowledge are unsurpassed and we’ve yet to see NBKC’s rates beat. We’ve referred Rhett to many friends and family and they’re always thankful that we did. One of our friends decided to refi with NBKC even though he’s an employee of a local bank! When Rhett say’s he’s available 24/7, he truly is. We’ve sent emails to him late in the evening expecting a reply sometime the next day only to get a text and a phone call right away – this despite Rhett being two hours ahead of us. We started working with Rhett well before we spoke to a realtor and felt so confident in him that we went against our realtor’s advice to work with a local lender instead. Our instincts were confirmed when our realtor later told us that she was so impressed with Rhett that she ended up referring her daughter to Rhett.

RESPONSE:Thank you for the repeat business and the awesome review - we appreciate it! Brian Unruh, CEO

Im calling him on all future refinances. —James Welch from Sterling, VA

I had come off of 4 or 5 lender calls all basically saying that me being 1099 is a bunch of work and not worth their time. Then I met Rhett. I told him that other lenders said I would be a challenge and it may not work out. He told me not to worry we would close in 30 days. Then proceeded to walk me through- literally everything I needed to get him. This was my first refinance and the complexity was added that I recently went 1099. Rhett made it happen. This is the person you want to refinance with hands down. Im never looking elsewhere.

RESPONSE:James, thank you for sharing your experience working with Rhett and the nbkc team! Brian Unruh, CEO
