Great experience —Jess from Zimmerman, MN
Working with Ryan though this process was amazing, he knew what he was talking about and everything went smooth and quick. I had started a refinance with another company and found Ryan when I got frustrated with the other companies level of professionalism and communication. I am so happy I switched, the costs were lower, the closing was quicker and I felt like I was working with someone who cared and knew what they were doing.
RESPONSE:Jess, we appreciate the wonderful review - thank you! Brian Unruh, CEO

Look no further —haggags from Eagle, ID
Ryan helped my wife and I as out of state buyers. We are planning to relocate and found our dream home. Even though our situation wasn’t the most ideal, Ryan was honest, patient and persistent. Due to previous negative experience with other lenders, we asked a million questions. He was always available to help to our surprise. Best of all he honored his word and got us the most competitive rate and one heck of a loan deal. Closed as painlessly and quickly as possible. We couldn’t be happier. Thank you Ryan & NBKC.
RESPONSE:We're so glad to hear the process was quick and painless and congrats on your new home! Brian Unruh, CEO

Knocked it out of the ballpark!! —Neil D from Colorado Springs, CO
Ryan was fantastic. Great communication. He always followed up and kept me up to date. We closed perfectly on time on our CO home. Previously, I had only used local lenders but Ryan & nbkc provided a great first time online experience. I highly recommend Ryan and hope to work with him again in the future. Many thanks!
RESPONSE:Neil, thanks for sharing your experience working with Ryan and the nbkc team! Brian Unruh, CEO

More helpful than you could ask, always reachable. —zuser201502161351534 from Raymore, MO
After hearing about how difficult first time home buying can be, I was pleasantly surprised thanks to Ryan. Spelled out exactly what he needed and how to get it. He was always quick to respond with calls or emails and was reassuring whenever concerns arose. Worked with my realtor very well. I can't say enough good things about the man and would recommend him to anyone who is not familiar with the home financing process. Now my fiance and I are in our beautiful home and he played a huge part in making that happen! Thanks Ryan!
RESPONSE:We appreciate the fantastic review and big congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO

Highly recommend Ryan and his company! —kilpayne from Kansas City, MO
Ryan was extremely helpful throughout the process. No surprises or unexpected costs. Very quick process. I am extremely satisfied and happy!!! Thank you very much Ryan! Can not say enough really nor do I have the words. But I better keep typing because I have to come up with at least 150 characters or this survey won't let me proceed.....and so now I'm rambling because you know I really feel like I owe to this guy now since he even at one point when I was freaking out about the final loan approval, talked me down and got me calm.
RESPONSE:No freaking out is allowed when you're working with nbkc... Thank you for sharing your experience working with Ryan and the team - we appreciate it! Brian Unruh, CEO

Thorough, responsive, adaptable —Candice Dennehy from Charlotte, NC
We found Ryan Lewis through Costco, where NBKC came highly recommended. He processed all our our paperwork quickly and, despite being in different times zones, responded to every one of our questions/emails within a few hours (more often within an hour). As first time home buyers, we felt we were in great hands throughout the process. We even had an error on our end with paperwork, and Ryan rapidly processed the numbers and got us back on track to close on time. He worked with us to get a great interest rate, too! Adding to his reliability, we worked with a veteran realtor who was at first skeptical about our using an online lender. She was VERY impressed with Ryan and is also looking forward to working with him in the future. We would highly recommend working with him!
RESPONSE:Candice, thank you for your recommendation of Ryan and big congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO

Ryan from NBKC Bank —Kevin E. from Dover, OH
Absolutely awesome online mortgage experience with Ryan from NBKC Bank!!! He was able to be contacted almost 24/7, with any questions, which kept things moving right along. Who would have thought that buying a house could go smoothly. They clearly have done their homework and are great at it! I personally can't think of one single thing that could have made my experience any better.
RESPONSE:Kevin, we are glad to hear everything went smoothly and appreciate you sharing! Brian Unruh, CEO
