Advice for new home buyers

Do as much research as possible when selecting a real estate agent and mortgage loan consultant to work with. They are your trusted advisors when it comes to purchasing your home.

Best Refinance Experience —Craig Bennett from Reston, VA

If you’re a homeowner like me you’ve been inundated with mail from mortgage companies soliciting your refinance business due to the historic low interest rates currently available, it can be confusing to know where to start. I was skeptical about the junk mail and unsure about who to trust - other than maybe the existing mortgagee. Lori was referred to me by someone I trust, and I couldn’t be more pleased with her service and the outstanding results. I just finished refinancing with NBKC through Lori, getting a terrific annual interest rate and an APR that other lenders couldn’t touch. The entire experience was virtual, seamless, and professional. Lori was always available and responsive, despite being physically in a different time zone. The NBKC online technology was easy to navigate. If you’re thinking about refinancing, definitely ask Lori to tell you what NBKC can do for you.

RESPONSE:Craig, thank you for the awesome review and sharing your experience working with Lori and the nbkc team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Fantastic Experience!! —user546739036 from Chesapeake, VA

Lori was on top of things from the very beginning! She kept us in the loop on everything that was going on with our loan, she answered every question we had and even answered questions before we asked. Always available, be it texting, email or voice call, i never felt like we had to wait for an answer to any question. Through these difficult times, we realized that we can do almost anything remotely, especially working with people like, Lori!! This was a great experience!!

Working with Lori is a Complete Pleasure —cmccrystal2 from Bethesda, MD

We just closed on our refinance, it is the 3rd refinance we have done with Lori. Every time the rates drop we give her a call. And just to be sure - I always check with multiple other lenders too. Lori always comes back with the best combination of rates and closing costs. On top of that she is super responsive and great to work with.

RESPONSE:Thank you for the repeat business and the 5 star review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Return Customers!!! —Mike & Whitney B from Port Orchard, WA

We secured a mortgage in 2014 and refinanced in 2020 with Lori Larson's help. On two other occasions we consulted with Lori about financing options when we were looking into other opportunities we were considering. We have been nothing short of highly impressed with Lori's responsiveness and service and we plan on utilizing her services for any future purchase. We highly recommend Lori!

RESPONSE:Mike & Whitney, thank you for the loyal business and sharing your experience working with Lori - we appreciate it! Brian Unruh, CEO

Awesome experience for first time home buyer —johnma from Groton, MA

Lori made obtaining a conventional loan a piece of cake, answered every and all questions I had, and the best part is we did it all online. My realtor, closing lawyer, and the listing agent had never worked with nbkc before and they were all skeptical of using an online lender from another state. Everything went through without issue, and Lori made sure everything was organized and ready for the closing. We had a surprise snow storm, but that didn't stop anything. I believe rates are close or competitive with local banks I've checked out, but the online experience and ease of everything beat out working with anyone else. I was also able to get a rate lock with a timeline that made sense for my needs at no extra cost. I was referred to Lori by a friend, and I would recommend her and nbkc bank without hesitation to any of my peers looking for their first home or a refinance. Costs and terms on the pre closing and final closing disclosure were exactly as expected. Before I arrived at my final purchase, I spent a lot of time talking with Lori and working on scenarios, and I appreciate her spending the time to help me work through these options. I just received my servicing paperwork, and I was able to set up everything online with the subservicer without issue or delay. I wouldn't hesitate to reach back out to her for my needs in the future.

RESPONSE:Thank you so much for sharing your experience working with Lori and the team. We appreciate the detailed and terrific review and big congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO
