Advice for New Home Buyers
Don’t buy a home at the maximum you can get qualified for. That will not leave you room to save for retirement, college for kids or emergencies.

“Ryan made the entire mortgage process incredibly easy for me as a first time buyer. He answered all of my questions immediately and thoroughly and helped guide me through due diligence all the way to closing (early!). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.”

“Ryan was amazing to work with and helped us purchase our first home. Coming into this with very minimal knowledge of the home buying process was very stressful and overwhelming, but Ryan immediately made us feel so comfortable. I really appreciated him taking extra time to explain every little thing to us in depth. He was so kind and knowledgable. You can tell he truly cares about his clients. I did not get this from other lenders I spoke to before him. It was exactly what we needed as a first time home buyer! We will definitely work with him again in the future!”
—Bailey from Kansas City, MO
“Ryan is the best. We had a terrific experience with him, and NBKC, from Bridge Loan to Home Mortgage to Refinance. He gave us guidance and answers we didn't even know we needed, saving us stress and money along the way. Ryan was incredibly responsive not only throughout the process, but even after the loan closed! He has our full trust, and we would go to him for any future needs. ”
