Exceptional Service, Meets your deadlines, Very Responsive
“Scott helped us secure a cash out/refi in less than 30 days and met our closing deadline. Scott was extremely easy to work with. Scott took care of all the data the loan processors needed, including the insurance information on our home from the HOA. Scott always answered my phone calls immediately, responded to texts and e-mails immediately. Scott always made sure everything was on track and on time. This would not have happened without Scott's efforts and he always managed to ease my anxiety about the process. Thank you Scott!”

Best mortgage experience ever!
“Scott Benson of nbkc (bank) is the best mortgage loan officer we have ever used! And that’s saying a lot as we have bought and sold over a dozen properties in the past 30 years. Scott’s knowledge, professionalism and communication are A+. He was always available to answer our questions and did so with a level of detail that was just right to ensure our understanding. There were no surprises or unexpected fees along the way. Scott was extremely patient throughout the process, as we had been looking for almost fifteen months in a very difficult market. In our experience, buying and selling real estate is almost always stressful. However, working with Scott on the mortgage was stressless and seamless. If you are looking for a mortgage lender, look no further than Scott Benson and nbkc.”
