The GREATEST lender ever
“Rhett is THE man!! He came highly recommended and it shows why. The process was so smooth and easy with him behind the wheel. We challenged him to close fast and he was ready. Rhett is very easy to talk to and it felt like we were doing business with a friend. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone!”
—J Stires from Atoka, TN
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.”

Best in the Business
“I got in touch with Rhett Bouvia through an online service while looking for mortgage lenders. I was expecting a "salesman" but got so much more and couldn't have been more happy to have worked with someone like Rhett. As a first time home owner I had alot of questions and Rhett went above and beyond talking to me on the phone (sometimes for an hour) just to explain to me the ins and outs of the housing market. He provided valuable advice along the way and was always immediately responsive and on top of things without a moment of hesitation. If anybody is looking for a mortgage lender that truly has your best interest at heart I highly recommend Rhett Bouvia”

Like others have said in their review "Rhett is the Man!"
“Rhett is Amazing, seldom do you find a person who works in the banking industry that has the clients best interests first. Rhett somehow makes you feel like you are his only client, he seems to always be available or return your calls promptly. This is my first time using Rhett as my loan officer and he is the only loan officer I will use in the future. I cannot recommend Rhett enough. ”
—James P. from Boise, ID
Extremely Helpful and Refreshingly Genuine
“Rhett is great to work with. He is always there for you to clarify questions and is willing to help immediately. I have worked with him several times and will continue to do so. I never have to wonder if he is providing a competitive rate or is forced to provide competitive offers to get the rate down. He is awesome!”
—Drew H from Rochester, MI

Rhett was exceptional and extremely knowledgeable. I strongly recommend you give him a call.
“Working with Rhett was the best and easiest part of buying my home. His knowledge and experience helped ensure the builder was on-time with my new home construction and we were able to close with no issues. Rhett also kept me updated with the latest rates and provided great insight on the rates until I was ready to lock-in. I could not be happier with my rate. Thank you Rhett for getting my daughter and me into our forever home. I highly recommend Rhett for all your loan needs, his professionalism and expertise set him apart from everything else. ”

Extremely honest, knowledgeable, and kind!
“Our experience with Rhett was both professional and enjoyable from start to finish. He has extensive knowledge in the field, is extremely responsive at all times, and always went the extra step to ensure we were well informed of our options and empowered us to make the right decisions when it came to buying our first home. I can safely say I would recommend Rhett to any friends or family looking at purchasing a home as I have full confidence he would do whatever it takes to make sure they were setup in the best possible situation. I highly recommend Rhett to any who come across him for a trustworthy and stress-free lending process.”

Rhett is the best!
“Rhett is a really great at his job. He gave me the best deal. But what is more important is his work ethics and professionalism. He thoughtfully guided me through the entire process, always kept in touch to update me on interest rates, and was always available to answer my questions. He was also able to close in a very short period time -- sooner than expected! ”

Rhett’s Got Your Back!
“Like the title says, Rhett’s got your back! I worked with Rhett in purchasing my first home while working overseas. He was referred to me by a friend of a friend who said “His bank has historically had excellent rates. They were one of our main competitors. Good dude, honest guy." True to his words, from a financial side, NBKC has the best rates across multiple lenders including banks such as USAA, Navy Fed, & VU. Working with Rhett was great. He’s flexible, provided updates quickly, and ready to talk while making the time difference work. In addition, he was able to help me connect to a realtor that would work at my pace. Most importantly, Rhett went to bat for me. While there were some challenges due to my circumstances of being overseas and using the VA loan, Rhett worked both internally to NBKC and externally elevating issues as needed to get the right level of expertise to address my circumstances and keep the mission moving forward. Rhett has a Can Do spirit, gets things done, all while getting the most competitive rates. He’s a good and honest person who’s got your back and I’d recommend him to anyone. ”
