Super easy & efficient! —Nate Shields from Pleasant Grove, UT
We found Ryan through the Costco lending program, after a friend recommended it. They said it was super easy & efficient, and never had to leave their house...and they were right! Ryan got in touch with us and let us know what documents and info we needed to submit to him, and he took care of the rest! He was quick to answer any questions along the way, and was able to get us the lowest rate possible. Within a few weeks we had someone on our doorstep with closing documents to sign and our mortgage payment is now 10% lower each month!
RESPONSE:Nate, thank you for the wonderful review and sharing your experience! Brian Unruh, CEO

Excellent Overall Refinancing Experience —DavidRoe3 from Atlanta, GA
Working with Ryan and NBKC to refinance our mortgage was easy and flawless experience. Ryan stayed very communicative throughout the whole process, answering any questions that came up. He also kept us up to date to let us know where we were at in the refinancing process. We would definitely recommend Ryan and NBKC to anyone interested in purchasing or refinancing a home.

Best lending experience I've had —zuser201609080547053 from San Diego, CA
Ryan and NBKC were amazing all around and provided the best lending experience I've had in over 5 mortgage and refinance situations. I found them through the Costco mortgage program and the fees that resulted were very reasonable. Ryan worked with me over the course of a couple months when mortgage rates had risen after initially being lowered and having received a crush of applications. When my large financial institution dragged their feet, communicated poorly, and couldn't even get me to the closing table in 45+ days, I again reached out to Ryan, who responded rapidly every single time I reached out. This time, NBKC met and beat the rates of the large bank, and they got me to close within 30 days in a very painless process. I'll go straight to Ryan and NBKC right away if I ever have any future lending needs!
RESPONSE:Thank you for the awesome review and we love hearing this was the best lending experience you've ever had! Brian Unruh, CEO

Quick communication and helped move up our closing date —Theodore from Pine Island, MN
Ryan was great! I found NBKC Bank through the Costco marketplace and was connected with Ryan Lewis. I never felt any pressure from him, but he was quite quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns, even before we decided to go forward in the process. We found a home and settled on a 60 day closing period, but we later wanted to move this date up at the last moment due to the coronavirus situation. Ryan worked quick with our realtor to ensure everything was completed in time, and we closed happily in less than two weeks. I would definitely work with Ryan again!
RESPONSE:Theodore, we appreciate the wonderful review - thank you! Brian Unruh, CEO

Streamlined easy process —user5150740 from Waltham, MA
The process was streamlined and easy. Ryan was very helpful, he prepared everything quickly, communicated efficiently and clearly, and delivered as promised. He responded to to all inquiries within a couple of hours even when it was after working hours. I did not feel any sales pressure. Even after the signing of the loan documents, which typically when his role ends, he continued to be helpful, answering questions and guiding me through the process.
RESPONSE:We love hearing streamlined and easy - thank you for sharing! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great Experience —star55 from Portland, OR
We found NBKC through the Costco mortgage program, and we worked online and by phone. Ryan was the first agent to respond to my request for a refinance quote, and they provided a highly competitive rate. Ryan delivered a professional experience, and we are happy that we decided to work with NBKC.
RESPONSE:We're also happy you decided to go with nbkc - thank you! Brian Unruh, CEO
