Advice for new home buyers

My best advice to new home buyers is to find a Real Estate Agent and a Loan Officer with the heart of a teacher. When you find a professional with the heart of a teacher, they will naturally take the time to explain the process and walk you through every step to make sure you feel comfortable and educated.

Knowledgeable and responsive —randy from Fort Worth, TX

NBKC was one of the options offered via LendingTree for a refi consolidation. It wasn’t their top recommendation, but it was within reason for comparison. They won the business because of Wes, though. All the initial calls went the same except for the one with Wes. He was able to answer all the questions and provide insights to current and coming regulations that shed light on why other lender reps were having to go research. He helped us make the best choices for our needs and stayed in regular communication throughout the process with transparent updates. Other lenders were slow to reply after the first call and showed no evidence of critical thinking ability to steer us in the right direction. If you want someone to work with you toward a great experience, Wes is the one.

RESPONSE:Randy, thank you for sharing your experience working with Wes and the team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Wesley Mcdonald —Faith G from Snellville, GA

My son used Wesley for his refinance. He encouraged me repeatedly to do the same. I was pleasantly surprised to see how stress free this process has been.Past experiences had me very wary. This was the exact opposite. I felt like I was working with a friend who wanted the best outcome for me. His recommendations and timing was accurate. Wesley is very professional, and I never felt pressured. I would recommend him for your mortgage needs. You will be in good hands. Faith

RESPONSE:Faith, we love hearing that the process was stress-free (and also that you found us through a referral from your son) - thank you for sharing! Brian Unruh, CEO

Refinancing with Wesley —Alex from New York, NY

Refinancing my mortgage with Wesley has been a smooth process. Wesley kept me in the loop, always responded quickly, and stayed on top of all issues that arose. I would highly recommend anyone to work with Wesley.

Very prompt and responsive —Tushar Dagade from Dublin, CA

I have nothing but compliments for Wes. I was a little hesitant about refinancing and NBKC was one of the options suggested by CreditKarma. I can even say, I decided to move forward with NBKC for refinancing just because Wes was the point of contact. He is very professional and knowledgeable. It was my first time refinance and I was impressed that everything went easy. I would 100% recommend him

RESPONSE:Tushar, thank you for the 5 star review and your recommendation of Wes and the team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great —Rajiv Chokshi from Claremont, CA

Wesley kept us informed of what processes and where we were in the refinance process. He also was available for any questions or issues with a prompt if not immediate response.

RESPONSE:Rajiv, thank you for the 5 star review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Wes is an outstanding representative of NBKC Bank —LINDA from Miami, FL

My loan refinance through NBKC Bank went very smoothly and as expected. NBKC Bank's interest rates were competitive and their closing costs were lower than my lender was willing to offer or match. My dealings were strictly with Wes who responded immediately to my initial email contact through the Costco Mortgage Program. Wes guided me through the loan process from start to finish with exceptional follow up. Wes was very professional, knowledgeable, extremely responsive and friendly. It was a pleasure working with Wes. He's a real asset to NBKC Bank.

RESPONSE:Linda, we are glad to hear everything went very smoothly and appreciate the 5 star review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Wes was knowledgeable and efficient! —Carol from Florence, AZ

We enjoyed working with Wes McDonald. He was very knowledgeable, efficient and patient. He made the process of refinancing seamless. He was always available whenever I called or emailed him with a question. We would highly recommend Wes to anyone who is looking for some one who will work with and for you. We were unaware that Coscto even offered refinancing through NBKC Bank.

RESPONSE:Carol, we appreciate the wonderful review and your recommendation of Wes and the team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great job working through a complicated sale —Penny H. from Naples, FL

Wes was very patient and helped us through all of the steps of obtaining a loan, while at the same time waiting for us to close on the sale of a complex co-op. He quickly answered our questions and concerns whenever we contacted him. We appreciated his patience and expertise.

RESPONSE:Penny, thank you for the wonderful review and sharing your experience working with Wes and the team! Brian Unruh, CEO
