Derek was great working with. During the process, he always checked on me how the home search was going and if there was anything he could do help. I enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to everyone.

I was so impressed with Derek! I was very quick to respond to all my texts and e-mails, even on nights and weekends! I threw Derek a curveball and switched my loan type in the middle of the process and he was happy to help me accomplish that....

Todd, thank you so much for the incredible review and sharing the experience. We appreciate it! Brian Unruh, CEO
I found NBKC by way of the COSTCO lending program. I chose NBKC and Derek even though I had a matching interest rate and better lender credits quoted from another lender. The fees with NBKC are the lowest around. They only need the amount to...

Gabe, thank you for your recommendation of Derek and the nbkc team! Brian Unruh, CEO
