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.

Fantastic!!! —Tim from Gastonia, NC

Travis was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He not only was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions but also gave me a "head's up" prior to any communication that I would be receiving so I would know to look for it. I've used him three different times and every single time has been seamless.

RESPONSE:Tim, thank you for the repeat business and the terrific 5 star review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Returned for another loan —user1794458 from Gig Harbor, WA

I remembered that Travis was responsive, direct, knowledgeable and easy to work with, so after over 60 days of poor service/communication trying to refi with my current mortgage holder, I scanned thru my Gmail to look him up. It worked! He was as professional as I remember and I'm so happy that I made the switch back to Travis.

RESPONSE:We're so glad you found Travis and appreciate the opportunity to earn your business again! Brian Unruh, CEO

Easiest refi ever —ritchiecraig57 from Shingle Springs, CA

I think the entire process was completed in a month. Travis requested all needed info the first time. Very satisfied with the process, Travis was very responsive

RESPONSE:We love hearing this was your easiest refi ever - thank you for the terrific review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Back Again —Satisfied Texan from Austin, TX

Short and Sweet: For as long as Travis decides to work in this line of business, we will be his customers. Gory Details: We first worked with Travis about a year ago in October of 2018. It was our first time buying a home and while we had many moving parts (finishing school, moving across country, and starting a new job), Travis got us to close on our house about half a month ahead of schedule. Unfortunately (outside our control or Travis') we closed during November of 2018 when mortgage rates were at a peak. Fast forward to August of 2019 and my wife and I noticed interest rates were at a low. We decided to reach out to Travis to see if he could run some theoretical numbers for us as if we were to refinance. He provided us a quote with a great rate and low closing fees. We decided to move forward with the refinance and Travis delivered as promise for the second time. There is no doubt we will be back again for any future needs.

RESPONSE:Thank you for the terrific review and the repeat business! Satisfied Texan = great news! Brian Unruh, CEO

Easiest refi ever! —paperplanes from Westminster, CA

The most painless refi I have done. After doing 3 previously, doing my first online refi was a snap. Travis kept me in the loop and didn't encounter any unexpected requests. The rate was one of the lowest I could find and the fee was super low. I almost didn't believe it could be so easy. I don't think i will do it any other way from now on, it's too easy!

RESPONSE:We love hearing your refi was painless! Thank you for sharing! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great Refinance Process —Kev10 from Fort Washington, MD

This is the second time that we refinance with Travis. I called him for the second time because I knew the process was going to be great and smooth. Thanks Travis.

RESPONSE:We appreciate the repeat business and we're glad to hear the process went great and smoothly! Brian Unruh, CEO

Good Refi experience —Bill W from Bradenton, FL

Travis was very responsive to all my questions. He kept us updated on the status of our Refi loan. When we had a small concern during the process, he was on it quickly and got it resolved. Most importantly, he got us an outstanding rate!!!

RESPONSE:Bill, thank you for sharing your experience working with Travis and the nbkc team! Brian Unruh, CEO
