Exceeded Expectations —Noah from Austin, TX

In short, Travis far exceeded the service I expected to receive from a mortgage lender. No nonsense, just results! I initially contacted 4 different lenders, each of which provided similar rates and fees. Travis was one of two lenders (out of the four total) that provided clear upfront numbers and answers to my questions in a very timely manner. The other two (I won't name any names) wanted nothing more than to throw me straight into the application process and failed to disclose that their rates came at the cost of mortgage points and they didn't mention the associated fees. At the end of the day, Travis just took care of business. He respected my wishes to keep communication through email (due to my work schedule) and responded to all questions quickly, honestly, and thoroughly. I will continue to use Travis in the future and have recommended him to family and friends.

Easy and Relaxed —bo j campbell from Buellton, CA

This refinance was as easy as they come. Travis responded to all our questions, even on the weekend sometimes. There was no pressure and everything was all taken care of.

Fast, Efficient, Helpful, Excellent Communication —derrickgallagher from Kansas City, MO

We worked with Travis to do a fast (3-week) closing on a new mortgage to buy our dream house, and we were super impressed. He was very responsive to any questions we had, gave us clear direction on steps and documents, and made our loan happen quickly! Our real estate agent said that he was very easy to work with from her perspective as well, and she would recommend Travis to her future clients.

Great Communication —pyostn 05 from Broken Arrow, OK

Travis did a great job of progressing the process by communicating expectations to keep you headed towards closing. Our experience couldn’t have been better.

Very good transaction —adesimone9 from Columbia, MD

Everything from quote to closing went smoothly. Travis was always quick to respond to any questions. I appreciated the ability to submit almost everything online.

Simplified Process, best rate —objectivist111 from Clarksville, TN

I was shocked at how well my mortgage process has gone with this company. Travis Smith was quick and efficient, nothing was drawn out. Their process was ten times easier than two other companies I was working with. They gave me the best rate up front. Another company tried hard to beat their rate to compete, but in the end couldn't compete with the closing costs.

Prompt, Friendly, Easy and Fast! —user9048940 from Philadelphia, PA

I spoke to several lenders and Travis was the best. I had previously had a bad experience with refinancing and I could tell that Travis would make sure that I had a great experience. He was on top of things, very responsive and answered questions that I had with confidence and clarity. It was extremely easy to do and the NBKC tools were great. I am pleased with Travis, got a great rate and it all got done in short order.

Professional, courteous, prompt, and clear —verbidei from Ellensburg, WA

Admittedly, I was nervous about making such important transactions through online means (never meeting Travis in-person). But Travis was remarkable, guiding me through this first-time process with efficient and direct communication and never letting me feel overwhelmed or lost in the process. In addition, he worked to get me a good loan with great rates. And in those last hours, when things looked like a mess with the title company, he stayed in direct contact. Great guy working for a very good bank.

Highly recommend! —sandeshdm from The Colony, TX

Travis was very helpful from day one. I got the best rate in the market. Travis is very knowledgeable and accommodating. as this was my first-time home buying experience, I was bit anxious. In spite of some hiccups, Travis was able to efficiently resolve them and close on time. I highly recommend Travis to anyone who is looking for a home loan.

Recommend Hands Down —Karina63 from Washington, DC

Travis was fantastic. From start to finish, and even with a hiccup (on my end, I decided to take a few weeks break with this loan). So even with a slowdown (caused my me), Travis got the loan closed, on time as per my closing date agreed to in the contract with the home seller. I'm so grateful to Travis and his team for getting this done so quickly (really, really fast) and closed. I was truly impressed with how efficient Travis' team was. Go with Travis, you won't regret it. I'll be back for any future loan items/advice.

About (Me)

What's your advice for new home buyers?

Don't get bogged down by the overall numbers when comparing lenders. Only go off of the numbers each lender can control, and find a lender that makes you comfortable to work with. Home-buying is stressful enough, so find an Loan Officer you trust.
