Great Experience —Staci from Spokane, WA

Brett was wonderful to work with. He wasn't pushy, straight forward, made the transaction very smooth. From initial contact to funding for refi was 30 days.

RESPONSE:Staci, we are glad to hear the process went smoothly and appreciate you sharing! Brian Unruh, CEO

Great to work with —Johns569 from West Linn, OR

I used NBKC as a referral through the Costco Home finance program and chose NBKC out of the options available. Everything was very upfront for the refinance and the entire transaction went smoothly. Brett was excellent to work with through the entire process. We ended up selling our house and are working with Brett again. Extremely responsive, straight forward, no gimmicks/games, and seems to genuinely want to help people find a mortgage that works for them.

RESPONSE:We're so glad to hear everything went smoothly and we appreciate your great review! Brian Unruh, CEO
