BEST COMPANY- MUST USE AT LEAST FOR QUOTE
“Mark and NBKC are the best company to work with. If you want the easiest transaction with the best rate please use this bank and Mark. He is super responsive and does an amazing job. I received 4 other quotes from other lenders and they couldn’t come close to the rate I got and the professionalism of Mark. You are crazy to not use this company and Mark, at the bare minimum use them to get a quote but what you will find is you will end up working with them! Great company and great worker! ”

Top-Notch
“We recently had the pleasure of working with NBKC for our mortgage, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Mark Holthaus, our loan officer, provided exceptional customer service. He was transparent about every step of the process, ensuring we fully understood our options and the terms of our loan. One of the standout aspects of NBKC was their competitive interest rates and low fees. The application process was efficient and straightforward, and Mark was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance through the complex paperwork. Despite a few minor hiccups with some of the online tools, the overall experience was overwhelmingly positive. The online tools provided by NBKC were generally helpful and easy to use, although we did encounter some issues connecting our accounts. However, this small inconvenience was quickly overshadowed by the prompt and professional service we received from Mark. He ensured everything was completed in a timely manner, which was crucial for us. We highly recommend NBKC and Mark Holthaus to anyone in need of a mortgage lender. Their clear and consistent communication, personalized service, and quick approval and funding process made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Thank you, Mark, and the entire NBKC team, for helping us secure our first home!”
