Advice for new home buyers

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. ”

Wesley McDonald is the reason we chose NBKC —Todd H. from Pickerington, OH

Wesley was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. I originally started to do some initial investigating in mortgage lenders because I had planned on refinancing sometime in 2020, but the fact that Wesley put me at ease immediately with his knowledge and his manner, I had made my mind up immediately to go with NBKC without looking into other lenders. I was very happy with my decision!
