Advice for New Home Buyers
Start saving money for a down payment early.
“Anthony helped us when we bought our first home in Spring 2020. He worked with us over the past month to refinance and got us a great deal. He is both efficient and thorough. He is a great communicator who explains the complexities of mortgages and refinances in an easily understandable manner. Go with Anthony when buying a home or refinancing.”

“This is my second time working with Anthony in the past six months and he is always a joy to work it. Anthony is very thorough and stays in consistent communication day, evening, night, and weekends. I high recommend and have recommended Anthony to my contacts.”
—Keondra D. from Oak Ridge, TN
“We went thru 2 other potential lenders before deciding to work with Anthony and NBKC Bank for our recent refi. The other lenders did not care enough to preserve our personal information by not sending it thru the Internet unsecured, something that leaves it open to being taken by hackers and used in identity theft. Anthony and NBKC had all of our information both going to them and then back to us secured as much as possible. He bent over backwards to answer our questions in a timely fashion, get us the information we needed from the bank and letting us know what they needed in return. The whole experience went smoothly and we have been very pleased with Anthony and his assistance. Would definitely recommend working with him!”

“What’s We say about Anthony, he’s professional and straightforward about the loan. He told us right away ,you got a loan when We submitted all documents. We thank you for gave us an opportunity to know your bank.”

“After navigating a horrific lending experience during my first attempt at home ownership, my best advice is this: Skip the fully automated, fully online platforms (Rocket Mortgage, Ally, etc), and just give Anthony Lewis at NBKC a call. I did my research on NerdWallet.com, shopped the top four lenders recommended (even my own personal bank), and what I discovered is that Anthony & NBKC deliver the absolute best of both worlds: a fast, convenient way to apply online, upload supporting documents when it's convenient to your schedule AND a dedicated, single point of contact who will, like "Footprints in the Sand", never abandon you (not even on the day of close when your own realtor isn't giving you the warm and fuzzies about what comes next and he is on a MOTORCYLE trip but still makes time to answer your questions). He analyzes your data and documents, listens to your personal home ownership goals, and leverages an expansive library of personal experience and mortgage process knowledge to find the most ideal mortgage option that suits your circumstances. When I'm ready for my "next-level" family home, then my investment property mortgage, and even my "empty-nester" home base, Anthony & NBKC will always be my first choice for mortgage lending. But don't take my word for it. Do your research, check NerdWallet.com, and shop a few other lenders when you put in your application with NBKC. I guarantee, when you compare your interactions with the reps of the other lenders you're shopping with the level of service you receive from Anthony, it will be a no-brainer. PS He pushed my loan to close in 22 (TWENTY TWO) days. Just sayin'.”

“Anthony is amazing. I was a first time homebuyer and he walked me through every part of the process and answered all million of my questions. I cannot recommend him enough!”
—Ben W. from Melbourne, FL
“Highly recommend Anthony for your home purchase. He delivered as promised. Very friendly and open to speak to, he educated us on many aspects of traditional loan, as we were first time home buyers. It was absolute pleasure working with Anthony! He was able to get us all possible rebates based on our credit score. He worked well throughout the transactions happening in CA, while he was located in MO. The time difference did not get in way of closing on time.”
—Ragni Murugesn from Palo Alto, CA
“Anthony helped me and my wife with getting the loan in a very smooth way. He is a fantastic person to work with. He was always available any time of the day to answer all the questions we have. I really recommend Anthony as a lender.”
—asit Chowdhury from East Brunswick, NJ
“I am so happy we found Anthony and NBKC. They are an excellent lender to work with, and Anthony maintained excellent communication throughout the entire transaction. They were even ready to close BEFORE our closing date- how often does that happen? Anthony also did a great job answering questions and helping us work through complexities pertaining to the appraisal. We plan to use NBKC again in the future if/when we buy a home again or refinance!”
—Ashley A. from Henrico, VA
“I had put off refinancing because I didn’t want the tedious hassle that is typical of such transactions. Right away, Anthony dispelled any concerns I may have had. He is patient and highly client centered. He walked me through each step, explained and clarified elements of the process, and let me know what to expect at each point. He readily responds to questions and concerns. I highly recommend him. He is the best!”
