Advice for new home buyers

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

Straight forward and hard-working —DustinBurkett from Sykesville, MD

Jim did his best to make the most out of our money. Definitely was the hardest working person in the whole process of buying a house. He returns calls and emails quickly and answers any questions asked.

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

Great Transaction —rsuckey from Lincolnton, NC

Jim was such a pleasure to work with. He answered all my questions, and addressed all my concerns. It was a pleasure to work with him. I will recommend him to anyone looking to get a mortgage. Can't say enough about his experience.

Best Bank Experience Ever —Rich Creed from Fort Leavenworth, KS

Jim is absolutely superb. He is the consummate professional and an outstanding communicator. Knowledgeable, helpful - he reduced the stress of buying our house significantly. We highly recommend him to anyone.

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

Easy Peasy —n8lemley from Redlands, CA

Very quick and easy process. No issues, and everything was covered in detail. Wouldn’t hesitate to do the process again with Jim and NKBC bank. Top to bottom a good experience. We used the Costco loan program that caps fees, and there were no hidden challenges either. Would recommend to anyone looking for an easy low cost and competitive program and lender.

RESPONSE:We love hearing Easy Peasy - thank you for the terrific review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Excellent in every way —B Jackson from Sumter, SC

This is the second time I have used Jim. He is very straight forward, is able to explain things in simple terms, but is thorough. He was always available when I had questions and was very good at walking me through all of the different funding options. My first purchase was very painless from beginning to end and would highly recommend him. The second time was even better. He contacted me and said "I think we can refinance, I can save you $200 a month and it won't cost you anything...are you interested?" Again he walked me through all the options and sure enough we just closed and my payment went down $200 with out any closing costs. He was a pleasure to work with and if I buy another house there is no doubt I will use Jim again.

RESPONSE:Thank you for the repeat business and for the terrific review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Extremely helpful —tyler smith 27 from Maiden, NC

I was originally using another bank for my VA loan until I found out my builder wasn't VA approved like advertised. The bank I was using hung up with me and said I was out of luck. Jim jumped right in got the builders VA approved and helped me with every step of the home buying process. Jim was a huge asset to have in my corner!!

RESPONSE:Tyler, thank you for sharing your experience working with Jim (he's a veteran also). We appreciate the opportunity and sincerely thank you for your service to our country. Brian Unruh, CEO

1st Time Home Buyer —mjstop from Sumter, SC

Jim was a pleasure to work with, making the stressful time of buying a first home go as smooth as possible. He presented me with all of my options and offered the pros and cons of each choice. He answered all of my first time home buying questions with great detail to help me understand the process. I would highly recommend Jim to any home buyer.

RESPONSE:Congrats on your first home! We appreciate the great review. Brian Unruh, CEO

Smooth Process —Christan from Waldorf, MD

He made sure to keep me informed throughout the entire process. Jim took great care and diligence in the services he provided. I would definitely work with him again in the future.

RESPONSE:Christan, congrats on your first home and we love hearing seamless and stress-free! Brian Unruh, CEO
