professional and responsive —vivian from Stamford, CT

Oh my gosh, where do I begin with the wonderful service that Brett Schnake gave us. Brett made home buying easy. Brett was very professional and responsive. He was great throughout the entire process. He explained everything as we went along and made it an enjoyable process. We were not in the same area so working with someone on a big life event was risky, but Brett turned it into an amazing experience. Brett’s knowledge on mortgage products are superb, his response time was always faster than I would expect and his service was always top notch. I can't say enough good things about working with Brett. Thank you.

Responsive and quick! —Lane from Orinda, CA

Brett was extremely responsive throughout the home buying process. We moved very quickly from our initial conversation to our offer acceptance and close. Brett was great and helped first-time home buyers get in to a house we love.

Trustworthy, Knowledgable, and Prompt!! —A B from Kirkland, WA

Brett is an All-Star! I was referred to Brett, and initially a bit hesitant to use a smaller bank versus my massive, well-known, checking-account-bank (name rhymes with Thrace), but those fears were quickly put to rest by Brett's promptness, transparency about the entire process, and extensive knowledge of every part of the application and loan. In addition, he beat my bank in interest rate AND did it with lower closing costs. He guided me from loan approval to loan closing, and never once gave me reason to doubt his complete competency and trustworthiness. Despite manifold questions (first time house buyer...) he managed to always reply, either via email or a phone call, and answer each query same day, with layman's terms and deep knowledge. I will certainly be recommending him to my friends when it is their turn to undertake this intimidating process!

Great Loan officer from start to close —Rod from Gatewood, MO

Brett was always very responsive and helpful from the start of the process all the way through closing day. He was happy to explain what was going on and was on top of anything that needed to be done to move the loan along.

Great Experience —Sean from Virginia Beach, VA

Brett was extremely professional and helpful throughout the whole process. Whenever, I had questions Brett was always available and responded very quickly. The overall experience was great and I would recommend Brett to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Awesome! —Lauren from Virginia Beach, VA

Brett was awesome and so helpful. He was extremely patient with us, especailly since it was our first home. He answered all our questions and always got back to us in a swift and kindly manner. We closed on a house in VA while we were located in CA. The day we got to VA was the day we signed papers and moved in. I highly recommend working with him.

Great to work with —Johns569 from Portland, 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.

Worth the Trust —Jason Himsey from Fredericksburg, VA

Brett was an absolute, consummate professional! My wife and I attempted to purchase a home a few years ago. LendingTree provided the lead and Brett worked hard to earn our business then. He called us within seconds of me hitting the submit button. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the purchase. However, due to the absolute customer first attitude demonstrated by Brett, we returned to him directly when we found another home a few years later (April 2018). Brett was very responsive throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything in detail, no matter the time of day. There were a few days where he responded close to Midnight my time. That level of customer service knocked our socks off. Closing went well. We will certainly return to Brett for future home lending needs.

Excellent, would recommend! —user2376528 from Overland Park, KS

Brett was quick to respond, professional, and great to work with! I was recommended to work with Brett from a co-worked, and I couldn't have been happier.

First Time Home —zuser20140422212030135 from Burbank, IL

Brett was great to work with. He was always open to all our questions, he guided us through the whole process, kept us informed. To be honest, he assisted us much more than our realtor, and he’s out of state. Their service is GREAT!!! Thank you so much for making our first time experience easy.
