—Nick from Chesapeake, VA
Perfect fit

—Eungsik Kim from Lawrence, KS
Always available
“Lori was great! She was available every step of the way in getting our loan and making sure we hit all the deadlines. She answered all questions quickly and professionally. Would definitely use again!”
—Diane Storrs from Hixson, TN
ReFi on the fly
“We just had our new build home completed and closed with a mortgage @ 7.25% which was a bit of a shock, but... our wealth manager suggested that we chat with Lori at NBKC to review options... either to recast the loan with proceeds from our recent sale of our house we moved from, or to explore a refinance. Then we met Lori Larson. That was the perfect move at the perfect time. Needless to say, with Lori's expert guidance, we used some of the proceeds and refinanced with NBKC... significantly reducing both our mortgage rate and monthly cost by $1,900! And, Lori shepherded us through the process in less than a month... we first spoke on September 16th and will close on October 8th. Lori is an experienced and skilled financial professional with outstanding customer service values. Our whole experience was a win win all around!”

Wonderful experience
“Lori is so helpful, nice, and easy to work with. She really knows her stuff!!! Lori goes above and beyond to get you the very best with the least amount of money spent. My experience with her was wonderful, she walked me through each step, explained everything, and really built my trust with her. Lastly, she got me the best possible deal (better than any other lender I was working with) and made the closing process easy. Great experience as a first-time homebuyer. I will be recommending Lori to everyone I know :)”
—Courtney F from Rowlett, TX
Honest & Extremely Helpful
“My wife and I recently purchased our first home. The process could not have been any smoother thanks to Lori's exceptional work. I had so many questions as I did not even know where to start, but Lori was always willing to take the time to explain everything to me in great detail. She did not take the opportunity to reel us into doing business with her by exaggerating her estimates; instead, she was very honest from the start and provided conservative closing cost estimates to give us a realistic expectation. This led to quite the surprise when we saw a good portion of the closing costs refunded, making the purchase that much sweeter. She's the lender to go with if you're looking for honesty and a guiding hand throughout the home-purchasing process.”
—Boris Kotsyubuk from Mather, CA
The best we’ve ever worked with!
“We are a military family which means we buy and sell A LOT. Lori is by far the hardest working lender we have had the pleasure of working with. Amazingly quick response time, always willing to explain if something was confusing and extremely flexible when working with your schedule. She always has a friendly demeanor and is more than happy to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend her!!!”
—helenlovesjunebug from Holly Ridge, NC
Professional & Responsive
“I had the pleasure of working with Lori Larson as my lender, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her service. She was incredibly efficient, always quick to respond, and kept me well-informed throughout the entire process. Her clear communication made everything so much easier, and I never felt left in the dark. Lori’s professionalism and attention to detail really stood out, and I felt confident every step of the way. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable lender.”
—Francis Z from Duluth, GA
Best rate and excellent service
“I must have shopped around with 5 different lenders. Lori was able to beat them all or most importantly had the best communication. I got the quality of service of a local bank with the rates of a national lender. I messaged at her at the most random times and she always answered my questions. I highly recommend, especially if you are a first time homebuyer or using VA. ”
—Tyler Jeck from Fayetteville, NC
Highest Quality from Lori Larson
“Lori Larson was the best and most trusted lender I could have asked for and I can genuinely say she is EXCELLENT. My homebuying experience began with Lori and not only did she provide multiple loan projections to consider, but she also always found availability to answer my questions so I could make the best informed decisions. I spoke with many lenders and not a single other one was as transparent and able to present loan projections as clearly and as comprehensively as Lori's which I really appreciated since day one. In one instance, her due diligence single-handedly saved me from buying a condo with more issues than appeared on surface when she found and shared deficiencies she found on FannieMae. Again, when we found our current condo, the seller wanted to expedite the close and Lori made it happen by following up with everyone to make sure deadlines were met. Lori's invaluable quality of work and character make her the best and I would absolutely work with her again and recommend her to anyone else looking for the highest quality.”
—Peter Y from Hackensack, NJ
