Surreally good experience —Betsy Castorena from Reseda, CA
Mike Yarbrough and NBKC Bank exceeded my expectations for our refinance. The business model that puts customer service first will always be successful. Mike and the team's thorough knowledge of the process, their fintech platform that makes remote borrowing simple and gold standard customer service is why I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking a home loan.
RESPONSE:Betsy, we're so glad to hear the experience was surreal! We appreciate the opportunity to help with your loan and thank you for the awesome review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Awesome Effort —Nate O from Sarasota, FL
Mike and NBKC were great for our VA Loan. Mike was very responsive, forward leaning and a pleasure to talk to. Any time we needed clarification on the process or had a question, Mike took the time to explain (sometimes multiple times!) to us and break down the elements into normal language. I would recommend Mike and NBKC to any friend or family member for their home purchase. Thanks Mike!
RESPONSE:Nate, thank you for your recommendation of Mike, for the opportunity to help with your VA loan, and most importantly for your service to our country. Brian Unruh, CEO

Efficient and very helpful —Karan Oberoi from Placentia, CA
This was our first refinance so we didn't know what to expect. Naturally, we had tons of questions and Mike tirelessly answered all of them quickly! He's very knowledgable and was able to assist us throughout the entire process. NBKC Bank made the entire process simple, and we didn't even have to leave our house. We found them through Costco, and over a few emails, and a notary home-visit, our house was refinanced! I would definitely work with Mike Yarbrough again!
RESPONSE:Karan, we love hearing the process was simply and appreciate the wonderful review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Simply Outstanding Guidance! —David90 from Leander, TX
Mike Yarbrough is simply put an outstanding man and an even better lender! He not only helped my mother get an incredible rate on the house of her dreams (lake view!) but he also helped my wife and I secure the home of our dreams as well almost back to back! Mike went over and beyond always available to talk on his cell and a 30min -1 hour email response every time! I will tell all my friends about Mike Yarbrough. He is THE man!
RESPONSE:Awesome review - thank you! We're excited for your mother and her lake view! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great First Time Home Buying Experience!!! —Glenn and Julia Berd from Tampa, FL
Mike Yarbrough was simply outstanding. He was responsive, attentive, and detailed oriented throughout the entire process. He quickly replied to all our inquires day, night, and on weekends. Since we were first time home buyers, he took the time to explain everything to us and never made us feel foolish about the questions we were asking. We shopped around and was pre-approved at four banks (2 national, 1 local, and NBKC). NBKC had by far the most competitive rates with no additional fees. I would and have already recommended Mike and NBKC to my military friends.
RESPONSE:Glenn and Julia, we appreciate the opportunity to help with your VA loan and sincerely thank you for your service to our country. Oh, an huge congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO

Patient and Knowledgeable —Jeremy Corwen from Silverdale, WA
My fiance and I were first time home buyers. We were flooded with options for houses and lenders. After speaking with many different lenders we finally found Mike, the man we needed. As you can imagine, there is a lot to learn when buying your first house, and Mike gave us all the time we needed to understand every step of the way. Really, he spent hours on the phone slowly explaining every step, fee etc. The knowledge I received from him along the way help this whole process be smooth and comfortabe. Couldn't ask for anyone better. Plus, Costco members get a huge discount. Ya!!
RESPONSE:Jeremy, we appreciate the terrific review and big congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO

Put our dreams within reach —K. Wentz from Fargo, ND
Mike was very helpful throughout the process. My wife and I had thought home ownership was years away, but Mike went above and beyond putting us in a house we can raise our family in.
