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.

Attentive Advocate —hello4632 from Kirkland, WA

Wesley is one of those rare people you get to encounter who truly are in your ballpark. He was helpful through the whole process and has saved me thousands of dollars. This is extremely rare and fortunate to have found him.

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

Wes & nbkc were the cream of the crop. —zuser201709191001226 from Clinton, MT

After extensive research and multiple quotes from LendingTree sources and Costco Executive Member sources, Wes & nbkc rose to the top because of his communication and transparency plus the rates nbkc offered. Ultimately, the terms were a little worse but my appraisal didn't come in quite where I'd expected. I have already recommended him to friends and will do so in the future.

RESPONSE:We appreciate the opportunity to earn your business and thank you for already referring us to several friends - thank you! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great to work with! —Judy R from San Diego, CA

Working with Wes was Outstanding —drkt from Kailua Kona, HI

After the run around from another lender, we went through Costco Lending Tree and found Wes. He was always professional, friendly and helpful in getting our loan closed. Thank you, Wes for excellent service.

Wes did a great job. —Thom Campbell from Knoxville, TN

Wes was in constant communication and stayed on top of issues as they came up. The whole process went well and was even better than when we first purchased our condo. He answered all of our questions and made us feel very comfortable that we were being taken care of.

RESPONSE:Thom, thank you for the terrific review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Extremely Helpful —nick from Cleveland, OH

Wes was available every time I called to discuss questions, process, review documents, etc. he was very upfront about timing considerations and gave honest opinions on the best path to successfully close.

Excellent service —Alexia Shonteff from Scottsdale, AZ

Wesley was by far the most efficient mortgage loan originator I have ever worked with. He was quick to respond to all questions and followed through until the very end. I would not do business with anyone but Wesley. He is upfront, honest and provides all the details before you make a decision. Truly excellent!

RESPONSE:Alexia, thank you for sharing your experience and for the wonderful review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Highly Recommended! —jmloi1023 from League City, TX

Work with Wesley Mcdonald, with only less than 30 days before closing. The guy keep the promise given us great mortgage rate and we closed on the exact date. Walk us to the whole process, so easy to work with, very efficient and well-organized financial team. Would highly recommend Wesley and NBKC Bank.

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