Wonderful —StephenPetritsch from Vail, AZ

From the beginning Chad was very friendly and highly informative. He kept us posted throughout the whole process. It was by far the smoothest home buying I have ever experienced.

I got My American Dream with Chad’s help —saladinodesigns from Julian, CA

had heard horror stories about online lenders, but I was having a difficult time with a local lender, it just made sense when it can down to it. Chad had all the experience and knowledge walking me through the whole process, finding just the right loan for me, an educated single mom of two in my early 40’s. He was upfront and logical and took the time to listen to all the entracacies of my financial situation. He always answered the phone or called me back with in 8 hours, he worked tirelessly on my loan and helped me every step of the way. My best friend is looking to buy a home and I have already told her about Chad Barnes. I recommend him 100% if you want your dream come true too. It can happen, don’t believe that you can’t. You work so hard everyday to give the best to your family, and it can come true with the right, knowledgeable lender. This Mother’s Day feels really good, my kids, dog and I are loving our new dream home in Julian, Ca. Our little piece of heaven thanks to Chad! Chad you and your wife are welcome anytime for dinner and apple pie!! Sincerely, Loretta Saladino

RESPONSE:Thank you for your recommendation of Chad and for sharing your experience. We appreciate it! Brian Unruh, CEO

Exceptional Service! —hmarenus from Glendale, CA

I first tried rocket/quicken for my home refinance loan. They were slow and the products they were offering me were not competitive. Then I decided to try Costco. within 30 seconds of pressing the submit button on my computer, Chad was calling me from NBKC. After explaining to him what I was trying to do and giving him some additional financial information, he was able to offer me an excellent, very competitive loan rate. At all times during the refinance process, Chad was always available to me, and immediately responsive to my questions and concerns. The other two lenders who contacted me from the Costco program also were responsive and seemed fine, but Chad was simply exceptional.

RESPONSE:Thank you for sharing your experience and we're thrilled that we earned the opportunity to help out! Brian Unruh, CEO

Chad is great to work with —MichelleHaas5 from Crescent City, CA

I initially started going through a different major VA mortgage company but found the delay in communication frustrating. I searched Costco's mortgage website and found NBKC bank. I took a chance with NBKC and was connected with Chad. Chad did a great job! He always responded quickly when I had questions or needed information. Plus, the interest rate was much lower and the fees were typical, nothing above average. Thanks Chad for making this process as easy as possible!

RESPONSE:We're so glad you found us and allowed us the opportunity to help with your VA loan! Thank you for the wonderful review and most importantly thank you for your service to our country. Brian Unruh, CEO

Excellent Lender! —Ruth B. from Morrisville, PA

We found NBKC bank through the Costco referral program, and Chad was our loan officer. He was very responsive and knowledgeable, made the mortgage process easy for us! The rates were competitive and the online application was good.

RESPONSE:Ruth, we're glad the process was easy and we appreciate the wonderful review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Superb Service —Kyle B. from Aldie, VA

I started the home buying process at the beginning of Nov 2018. NBKC was one of many lenders I initially reached out to for an initial quote request. Chad was by far the most responsive and helpful individuals that I interacted with, helping me through every step of the process and always being available when I had a question. When I decided it was time to buy, Chad made sure I had all the information I needed. When a house showed up on the market and I had to move quickly, he worked the weekend to make sure I had the right documentation to submit along with my offer. After my offer was accepted, he promised that we would be able to make a compressed closing date and he came through. At the end of the day I was just one of many that Chad was likely working with day in and day out but I always felt like I had his full attention. For a process I don't plan to go through more than a few times in my life he made everything extremely simple and straightforward. I would recommend Chad (and NBKC) to anybody that is looking to buy a house.

RESPONSE:Kyle, thank you for the awesome review! We love hearing simple and straightforward and truly appreciate you sharing your experience. Brian Unruh, CEO
