Advice for new home buyers

Take your time with the find and talk with your loan officer every step of the way.

Great Experience —cdisque from Queen Creek, AZ

As a first-time home buyer, Travis was extremely helpful, honest, and knowledgeable about the entire process. He worked with a very short closing window, and never missed a step. And he was very personable too!

RESPONSE:We are so glad to hear you had a great experience and big congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO

Timely, available, and trusted —Joel Braman from Denver, CO

Great experience; I have already started working with Travis on financing another project. This will be the 4th closing with him. I find him professional but approachable.

RESPONSE:Joel, thank you for the loyal business and the 5 star review! Brian Unruh, CEO

Awesome —Charles & Maryann from Clarkdale, AZ

So, my wife was trying to re-fi for lower rates...she kept getting bad run around service. When she told me I reminded her Travis was our man to go to. And just like an old friend he came thru in record time. So, she will remember to ask Travis to take care of us. ( sorry she forgets a lot)

RESPONSE:Charles & Maryann, write down Travis' name and stick it on the fridge so you remember next time! We do appreciate the loyal business and the wonderful review - thank you for sharing! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great service, fast hassle-free closing —Puja Upadhyay from North Ridgeville, OH

We had a wonderful refinancing experience with Travis at NBKC bank recently. He was not only very professional but also prompt at responding to our queries and providing helpful suggestions. I would highly recommend Travis and NBKC bank for great rates and a hassle-free closing.

RESPONSE:Puja, we appreciate the wonderful review and your recommendation of Travis and the team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Outstanding lending customer service —Jake K from Salem, OR

I am very pleased with NBKC and Travis. This is my second transaction with NBKC and with Travis. My positive first experience gave me the impetus to do a repeat transaction. Was able to get a rate lock during the first call itself - less than 20 minutes with estimate of closing costs. Travis smoothened the process of getting to a successful close within the agreed upon timeline and ensured I was updated continuously throughout the process. He is extremely responsive to questions and clarifications. I will, unhesitatingly, recommend Travis and NBKC for home mortgage and refinance.

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

Our lender for life —hidalgoel from Albuquerque, NM

Once you find someone who is easy to work with, he's a keeper. This is our second mortgage with Travis and hope this last one is the last mortgage for us, but if not, we've got Travis' number! Thank you, Travis, for being professional and responsive to our needs.

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

Travis Tjaden —jlum737 from Honolulu, HI

Travis Tjaden was absolutely great to work with and explained everything I did not understand every step of the way. He is patient, positive attitude, informative, considerate of my time and was responsive to any/all questions I had about the loan, rates, process, filling out forms, etc. He was responsible and emailed me financials quickly and efficiently. He will give you a variety of options and perspectives if you ask him but does not pressure you into a commitment until you are ready. A friend of mine recommended him having had a great experience with him. I also checked out other lenders offering similar deals but felt like Travis was the most honest and forthcoming. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a loan.

RESPONSE:We appreciate the fantastic review - thank you for sharing! Brian Unruh, CEO

Personal service —baroberts06 from Waynesboro, VA

Travis provided exceptional service throughout the loan process. He was patient, knowledgeable, and listened very well to our needs. My wife and I were very pleased with the product Travis and NBKC offered! I highly recommend that you contact them for your next loan.

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

Professional, friendly & competent! —sandiedugas from Parker, CO

Travis took care of everything we needed to get our loan refinanced. He always responded to our calls/emails immediately. Our process was quick and smooth. This is our second time working with him, and we would highly recommend him!!

RESPONSE:We love hearing quick and smooth - thank you for sharing! Brian Unruh, CEO
