About Rhett Bouvia
Advice for New Home Buyers
Get pre-approved not just pre-qualified before you look at homes!
NBKC
“Rhett provided outstanding service! He was thorough, professional, knowledgeable & accessible throughout the entire loan process. Smooth as can be!!”
—R&N Dawson from Smyrna, GA
Excellent experience
“We had a long journey in buying our home. Having to compete in a sellers market we had to put several offers on multiple homes before finally our offer was selected. For all offers we wanted to have a very strong offer for which financing is very important. Rhett was extremely supportive throughout the process. Any time we requested, he prepared a custom approval letter for the specific home and even kindly offered to be available for a call from the seller agent to vouch for our credit background. Once we had our offer selected, the loan approval was extremely smooth and we got everything ready well before the closing date. I am very grateful for Rhett's kind support, responsiveness and efficient handling of our loan and wish him best of luck going forward.”
—Vahid Khanagha from Potomac, MD
Rhett is Awesome!
“First time homebuyer here and we had a lot of questions that came up along the way. Rhett was super helpful and guided us through the whole process with ease! He really made sure we understood all of the numbers allowing us to make the best decision long term! Highly recommend going with Rhett!”
—Jordan Anderson from Houston, TX
Excellent Communication and Responsiveness
“I enjoyed working with Rhett and his demeanor during our conversations. I instantly knew he was giving me upfront and current information because I did my research before looking into a refi. He didn't try to sell me on his company or services which is important for me. Once we passed the phone call phase of this process, the email communication was on going and everything wrapped up in a decent amount of time. I think their rates are pretty good compared to other companies.”
—MasonizedU from North Wales, PA
Pleasure to work with
“Rhett is always a pleasure to work with. He is upfront with everything and he stayed on top of it while guiding us through the entire process. If we had any questions or concerns he cleared it up right away. The communication between him and our realtor was seamless. We were first time home buyers and used a VA loan, what we thought would be a difficult process turned out to be a breeze with Rhett and the realtor that he recommended to us. ”
—M. Johnson from Allenhurst, GA
Rhett was the best!
“We used Rhett at NBKC for our loan. He was very thorough and great at explaining information- as first-time homebuyers, this was amazing. We got approved at a rate better than competitors. He was always available for questions. He was very kind throughout the whole process. Our realtor and closer spoke about how nice and efficient Rhett and NBKC were to work with. Could not recommend more.”
—Earl Neel from Tulsa, OK
Rhett is a paragon of customer satisfaction
“The most important thing you need to know about Rhett is that he is extremely customer focused. As far as I can tell having worked with him, that is his primary mission. The rates he is able to provide are extremely competitive, which is crucial, but he offers so much more than that. I have literally never worked with someone more responsive. Even if he is busy, he will let you know he is busy and will let you know exactly when he will connect with you. In a process as stressful as buying a house, I can't tell you how reassuring this is. He never left us hanging. Rhett is very knowledgeable and gets things done fast. From start to finish we closed in 3 weeks, and that included having to do a second appraisal. I compared lenders before choosing Rhett, and met some really great people with competitive rates, but honestly, there was never much doubt that we would choose to do business with him. He's that good. I will recommend him to every person who is looking to buy or refinance, and we will definitely work with Rhett again. If you want a smart, hard-working, and very customer focused lender, who can provide great rates and close quickly, this is the guy.”
—Brian Frichette from Littleton, CO
Could not ask for a better banker
“Rhett was outstanding from start to finish. Was very transparent thought the process and worked bet diligently to complete our loan. He was quick to respond to questions and even during the weekends. This is our 3rd home and Rhett and his team was the best by far. ”
—zuser201609291626405 from Benton, TN
Rhett comes through again and again
“We worked with Rhett on our previous home loan and we wanted to use him for our loan for a new construction. The builder had a preferred lender, but Rhett was able to get us a better rate. Rhett was always very quick to respond and always upfront about any pertinent details. He always put our interests first when we were deciding between him and the builder's preferred lender. Highly recommend, you won't regret working with Rhett!”
—D L from Herriman, UT
