Advice for new home buyers

Have an understanding of a few important factors - budget, location, credit score, type of home. A home buyer sometimes qualifies for more than house than they are comfortable paying for monthly - make sure the payment fits within your budget. When a buyer has an idea of location, they should researched crime statistics, school districts and points of interest they want to be near. A home buyer should know ahead of time what their credit score it as this will have an impact on approval, rate etc. If credit is not where it should be, they should slow down the process and take the time to work with a professional repair company to get those scores up. It will save buyers a lot of money in the future. Protect your credit – it is valuable. Deciding whether they prefer a maintenance free condo with general homeowner association fees or a single family home are also important aspects to home ownership. I would also encourage a new home buyer to ask as many questions as possible; there is no stupid question.

Excellent —roylee24680 from Littleton, CO

I had started a refi with another lender, but had the good fortune to connect with Barbara. Barbara was able to secure me a lower rate, lower fees, and no appraisal necessary, all of which saved me a lot of time and money. Barbara was very knowledgeable and available during the refi process and I would 100% recommend her.

Great rate and easy process —Hayes Beard from Lewisburg, WV

I used Barbara at NBKC to refinance my home in West Virginia. She did an amazing job and I could not be happier! I’m even a Costco member now thanks to her tip about lowering my fees (be sure to ask her about). I got a very competitive rate and the process from start to finish could not have been easier. I highly recommend Barbara and NBKC!

First time homebuyer —genill from Wayne, NJ

I’ll start my noting how difficult it was to get REAL person when applying to other mortgage babks. On the other hand, Barbara from NBKC bank, was a dream to work with. As first time homebuyers we had 1000 questions. She was always available, reachable by phone and email, more than happy to guide us step by step. She effortlessly facilitated communication with the entire team (lawyer, realtor, title company). She even managed to help us close about a month earlier than expected. I would recommend Barbara and NBKC bank to my family and friends. I will definitely return for my second home!

RESPONSE:Thank you for the wonderful review and big congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO

I highly recommend Barbara! —bethanym from Puyallup, WA

Barbara was amazing to work with! We had a really tricky situation with irregular income and a newer business. I didn't know if it was going to be possible to refi. But Barbara worked hard to make it happen for us. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed throughout the process. I highly recommend her.

RESPONSE:Thank you for your recommendation of Barbara and the nbkc team! Brian Unruh, CEO
