Jim Schneider at NBKC —pchiaradonna from Chester Springs, PA

I had a very good experience working with Jim. Jim and his team of processors were thorough and efficient. I was able to close my refinance in less than a months time. I found him to be prompt in answering emails or phone calls. Highly recommend him.

Friendly, efficient, responsive, effective —bendubu33 from Santee, CA

Quick IRRRL on a VA. Great job. Highly recommend him to anyone doing a refinance or home purchase. The fact he’s in the middle of the country was not a challenge at all.

We are so grateful to work with Jim Schneider. He handled the purchase of our home almost a decade ago and continues to support us with amazing refinance opportunities and a remortgage.

1st Time homebuyer - Jim wis highly recommended. —c12jared morris from Sumter, SC

We are first time homebuyers using the VA loan and Jim was nothing short of amazing. Answering thousands of questions, to helping us get all our documents correct all while we were stationed overseas. Very responsive and understanding of our situation.

RESPONSE:We appreciate the opportunity to help with your VA loan and sincerely thank you for your service to our country. Also, huge congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO

Not honest or punctual —aliciap1986 from Scottsdale, AZ

Jim had us working towards the wrong closing date 3 wks before closing. Therefore my husband and I organized are living situation based off that. We had movers, new home appliances, painters, etc starting the day after our “closing date”. Little did we know 3 days before we were suppose to close we received an email stating that Jim was not going to hit our “closing date”. Sure enough he put the entire blame on my husband and I. It cost us $1500 extra for us to close 3 days later due to not having a place to live, renting a uhaul and hiring two sets of movers. He had failed to send us a report that we needed to sign a couple days before closing. Since he didn’t send it to us on time it cost us $1500. He refused to help us with submitting the refund request. DO NOT use him as a lender. If you get assigned to him please request someone else. My realtor even said he was by far the worst she has ever worked with.

RESPONSE:We certainly pride ourselves on meeting, and exceeding, our customers' expectations including closing dates. It is rare that we do not but it sounds like we did not in your case and for that, I am sorry. We appreciate the opportunity and wish you the best in your new home. Brian Unruh, CEO
