Advice for new home buyers

Be patient, your home is out there. You will know it when you see it. Find a lender and an agent you have a connection with and listens to what you need.

Responsive and personable —zuser201701021315207 from Salt Lake City, UT

Having Laura to help us with our refinancing process was wonderful. She was always responsive with my many questions and always friendly and happy to help. In a world that has become so automated and computerized it was very nice to have a friendly human to hold our hand through this all.

RESPONSE:Thank you for sharing your experience working with Laura and the team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great experience! —Debbie from Portland, OR

Laura was great to work with from start to finish. She was quick, responsive, and helpful. I was nervous to use a non-local bank but decided to give it a try since it was through Costco and offered a great rate and fees. Glad I did!

RESPONSE:Debbie, we're glad you had a great experience and appreciate you sharing! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great Experience —Joyce mullins from Ariel, WA

Laura was great to work with. She could explain things in understandable terms. She always responded immediately to any questions and was "on call" the last 2 days to make sure we didn't have any last minute questions or problems. We had originally set a 30- day close. Loan closed late due to VA appraisal process, not lender.

RESPONSE:Joyce, we appreciate the opportunity to help with your VA loan, the awesome review, and most importantly we sincerely thank you for your service to our country. Brian Unruh, CEO

Laura Whisner and NBKC are the Best Ever! —jeff kimferris808 from Kihei, HI

We did a Home Purchase with Laura two years ago and when the interest rates dropped we knew Laura was, without a doubt, our number one choice for Refinancing. We love working with her - prompt, professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with - what more could anyone ask for when considering a home loan. Keep up the great work Laura. Take care.

RESPONSE:Jeff, thank you for the loyal business and the 5 star review! Brian Unruh, CEO

RESPONSE:Kaiser, wow, what a heartfelt and amazing review. Thank you so much for sharing! Brian Unruh, CEO

Absolutely the Best —pacificeagle611 from Chocowinity, NC

We’ve worked with many lenders over the years and Laura Whisner is absolutely the best. During all aspects of the mortgage process, Laura made herself directly available to answer any questions that needed clarification. Although she represented NBKC Bank, she was a true advocate for the borrower by offering positive guidance throughout the process. As an example, during our closing process, a funding concern was raised by the closing attorney for the seller. She immediately was able to provide authoritative guidance to all attorneys involved to quickly resolve the issue. Without her intervention, our closing would not have happened, which would have caused a serious domino affect with follow-on linked plans. She’s absolutely the BEST!

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

Responsive and supportive —ashishpr3 from East Brunswick, NJ

I came across NBKC bank during my search for a good lender. Laura was my loan officer. I must say I am glad I got a chance to work with Laura. She was patient in answering all the queries in various stages of the process. She ensured closing date stayed unchanged. I would highly recommend Laura from NBKC bank.

RESPONSE:Thank you for your recommendation of Laura and the nbkc team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great lender —aymanebrahim57 from Albion, MI

LAURA WAS GREAT. ANY TIME I NEEDED ANYTHING OR HAD A QUESTION. SHE ALWAYS ANSWERED AND GOT RIGHT BACK TO ME IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. i would definitely use them as a lender again.

RESPONSE:Thank you for the terrific review! Brian Unruh, CEO

She was great —dan78694 from Granby, CO

Laura is the type of person that makes you feel like a friend when you get on the phone with her. Honest, kept things simple, understands the process. Thank you Laura

RESPONSE:Thank you for the wonderful review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Never met a problem she wouldn’t solve! —oaksroger from Merritt, NC

Yes, I said wouldn’t solve, not couldn’t solve. Most people in her industry have access to the same tools and products that Laura has. She will use them to get a job done rather than find reasons to say no. Just bought our second home financed by Laura. She had changed companies, but I tracked her down, because I trust her and wanted my new purchase handled correctly. Besides, she is a super nice lady and a joy with which to work. Third mortgage with Laura. She has become more of a friend than anything else. This was a really trying time in that with everyone working from home, she had less control and the processing was not easy. Regardless, she got it done and if anyone has negative statements about Laura, they are wrong.

RESPONSE:We're glad to hear you found Laura and we appreciate the terrific review! Brian Unruh, CEO
