Scott Benson was Great!!
“Scott Benson was our mortgage loan officer for the purchase of our new home in South Carolina. Whenever we reached out to him he responded quickly. He worked together well with our financial advisor throughout the process. He always ensured we knew what came next, and in the end ensured that the lawyer's office had everything they needed, as required, for the closing. In the future, we will definitely reach out to Scott if we choose to refinance or to get a Home Equity Line of Credit. He is a 5 star guy and we highly recommend him!”

Would recommend Scott without hesitation!
“The most important qualities to me when working with a lender is that the individual be knowledgeable, responsive, and low pressure. Scott scored perfectly on all three categories. Scott was a pleasure to work with, answered all my questions accurately, was very responsive (even went above and beyond and responded to my inquiry while was on vacation, yet he was always very relaxed and never made me feel pressured to choose him as a lender or choose a particular lending program. the NBKC online platform was extremely easy to use and made the process a breeze. Thank you, Scott!”

Scott is trusted loan consultant
“We had found our California dream home but still hadn’t put our current primary home on the market. I reached out to Scott as we had completed several past transactions and they all went very smoothly. We knew this was going to be more challenging and we needed a “pilot” we could trust to get us through this complicated transaction. Scott was the perfect choice and we closed on our new home today. Scott returns call promptly, uses the best technology, and keeps things positive throughout the entire experience. When questions come up he is quick to answer or to get back to you if he needs to consult with others. Scott had the experience, knowledge and confidence to help us easily navigate every hurdle with minimal stress and ultimately came up with a creative way to save us tens of thousands of dollars in interest on this new loan once our existing home sells. This isn’t the last home we will own and we will definitely reach out to Scott when we buy our next dream home. ”
—ZJayH from Sonoma, CA
