Advice for new home buyers

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

Very helpful. —clarissa daniels from Gurley, AL

Travis was on the ball throughout the process. We were extremely pleased with his initiative to complete the process and we were confident that we would close on our house at the appropriate timeline. Travis tried his best to get us to our closing without any complications. We were able to stay relaxed throughout.

RESPONSE:Clarissa, thank you for sharing your experience working with Travis - we appreciate it! Brian Unruh, CEO

Best VA lender! —Kristi Galvin from Rockledge, FL

My husband and I have Travis on speed dial! We are a military family who moves every 1 to 3 years and buy and sell with each move. Travis is the only lender we will use because we trust him to be honest with us through out the process and to provide us the best options. Our last 3 mortgages were through Travis and all our future ones will be too! Best VA lender!

RESPONSE:Kristi, thank you for being a loyal nbkc customer and a sincere thank you for your service to our country! Brian Unruh, CEO

No words can explain how great it was to work with Travis —Michael Hazelwonder from Holts Summit, MO

Travis is an amazing loan officer who went above and beyond for us. With the hard work and dedication from Travis and his manager, we were able to close on our first home in less than 30 days. Throughout the process, Travis was on the ball and always there to answer my questions and calm my anxieties with professionalism and care. When we first started, Travis informed us that industry standard turnaround for closing on a house is 45 days and that trying to close before 30 days would be difficult and unlikely but he constantly worked hard on our application and turned it around for us. I would recommend any and everyone to work with Travis and NBKC. Travis is also very knowledgeable about the different loans types and can point you in the direction that benefits you the most.

RESPONSE:Michael, thank you for sharing your experience working with Travis and big congrats on your first home! Brian Unruh, CEO
