Advice for new home buyers

Work with a lender you feel comfortable with and who makes themselves available to answer all of your questions.

Jim Schneider —Kathy D from Riverside, CA

We have used Jim Schneider with NBKC twice for refinancing. As with our first experience this time was equally as impressive. One of the things we most appreciated was his clarity and guidance when explaining any additional information requested (declaration page from our home owner insurance policy). There was no wondering or guessing what was specifically needed. I’m sure saving lots of time. We appreciated him keeping us updated throughout the process. We closed as expected during these days of historic low rates. WE strongly encourage anyone looking for home purchase or refinancing to consider Jim Schneider!

RESPONSE:Kathy, thank you for the repeat business, the wonderful review, and your recommendation of Jim and the team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Excellent service and support —Roberto V. from Champaign, IL

Jim was great. Walked us through the process of a home refinance and took great care to manage expectations and provide timely responses. In many cases, he would email back immediately even over the weekend to keep the process moving forward.

RESPONSE:Roberto, we appreciate the terrific review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great Experience —user70181337 from Flat Rock, MI

This was the 2nd refinance we have done with Jim. He is excellent to work with! He answers all questions promptly. We closed sooner than I expected. I would highly recommend Jim.

Great Loan Officer —Kyle M. from Old Hickory, TN

We chose NBKC bank through the Costco Mortgage program and this was a fantastic decision. More importantly, Jim was our loan officer and was absolutely phenomenal throughout the process. We had a unique/difficult loan to complete, but he ensured that it was going to get done. Thanks for everything Jim!

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

Jim is the best you will find! —Eric W from Malverne, NY

Jim is top notch, professional, and extremely responsive. There is no one better to work with if you need a loan, plain and simple. I recommend Jim to all of my friends since I trust that he will give them a wonderful experience.

RESPONSE:Eric, thank you for your recommendation of Jim and the nbkc team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Highly Recommend —ibjwalker from Waddell, AZ

Jim was a great help and very responsive. I highly recommend NBKC and Jim is the best. I got the best rate and fees were fair. Thanks again Jim and NBKC.

RESPONSE:Thank you for your recommendation and wonderful review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Best Experience/Advice —Brad from Tucson, AZ

Jim is prompt, honest, and will bounce ideas back and forth to get the best deal for you. Did our initial VA loan with Jim and a refinance 2 years later into a traditional. We are a busy family, and he does a great job with email/odd times of day. Would highly recommend anyone who doesn't want to deal with a massive national bank and their minions...

RESPONSE:Brad, thank you for the repeat business, the terrific review, and most importantly for your service to our country. Brian Unruh, CEO

Review for NBKC and loan officer JIM SCHNEIDER —Benjamin & Pacita Do from Las Vegas, NV

As a fellow Veteran (Thanks Jim for your service), Jim performed his duties with EXCELLENCE! Jim Is always there whenever I needed him for info and status of our Refi and will always either call back or mostly imessage or email consistently. NBKC has a Golden Asset that’s priceless because he performed constantly to our satisfaction and delivered with results. I salute my co-veteran Jim, for a job well done.!!! We are happy about the interest he quoted us and smooth closing day, fast and no problem at all. Closing costs are about the industry standard. If any of our neighbors, friends and relatives will ask for any refi questions or recommendations: NBKC AND CALL JIM SCHNEIDER with no hesitations! This review is coming from our hearts and how satisfied we are. Jim will be the first go to Loan Officer we go for future repeat business ( if Jim is not promoted yet to higher ‘ranking’ ). Thank you very much NBKC and JIM S.

RESPONSE:Benjamin & Pacita, thank you for the incredible review, your recommendation of Jim, and most importantly for your service to our country - we appreciate it! Brian Unruh, CEO
