Fantastic Experience
“Herb was amazing to work with! We had such a great experience with him. He was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. He was always there when we needed him or had questions and he kept the whole process running quickly and smoothly. We highly recommend him!”
—Anna & Hayden Matthe from Camp Hill, PA
Extremely helpful and customer friendly
“This is my second time working with Herb. NBKC always has great rates and lower than average fees. He knows a ton about the VA loan process and helped my push back on some of the negative connotations from real estate agents who do not have as much experience working with VA loans. I highly recommend him for anyone needing VA backed financing. ”

Great Experience with Herb and NBKC
“Herb Mason was top notch through the entire loan process. From the beginning he explained how the process would take place and what to expect. I can honestly say he was right on the mark. He was always quick to respond to my many questions which gave that local bank experience even from halfway across the country. ”
—GLS from Orlando, FL
Nailed it again!
“Herb is the absolute best lender to work with. I fully trust him and his team to ensure my family is taken care of. I’ve worked with him for over 15 years. I will only work with him in the future. If you want superior service, call Herb and NKCB! ”
—Jim from Port Charlotte, FL
Top-notch service from a top-notch loan officer
“Herb was amazing throughout the process. He consistently put us at ease and put our needs first throughout a stressful transition. He was patient, thorough, and always had our best interest in mind. He demystified the process and was available any time I needed him to clarify or answer any question. I couldn't be happier with the service he provided, and I will actively seek him out for any future loan needs. I've worked with several lenders and loan officers in the past and this is the first time I've felt compelled to illustrate the quality of service provided. Thank you again, Herb.”
—Ben Diamon from Dayton, OH
Helpful, Patient, Attentive, Responsive, and Knowledgeable
“Herb was excellent to work with! I made the mistake of submitting my information to a popular mortgage shopping website, one of those where you can “compare” mortgages. I was immediately bombarded with calls from at least a dozen lenders wanting to give me their rates. Not a single person left a voice message except for Herb! His message was friendly and professional and I decided to start with him. Surprisingly, Herb was able to give me a quote without checking my credit score (as I didn’t want a bunch of people rushing to check my scores) and based on his initial estimates it was very competitive numbers. I’m a real estate paralegal for a large law firm; every day I see peoples’ interest rates and closing costs. Herb’s estimates and numbers were lower than other lenders I work with. We ultimately decided to work with Herb and are so glad we did. Even the other paralegals in my office who worked with his loan coordinators said they were top-notch! Save yourself the hassle of shopping mortgages and give Herb the first try! We will totally use NBKC and Herb next time!”
—CharlieM from Athens, GA

Herb Mason is unmatched.
“Herb Mason is unmatched. I was completely impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, and customer service. Closing pricing was better than the competition . Efficiency and punctuality is second to none. He resolved and we closed two very complicated mortgages. Highly recommended. ”
—HENRY D JAMES from Miami Beach, FL
Herb is the consummate professional!
“We have now financed two new homes through NBKC over the last 10-months. Herb Mason was our loan officer both times and did a superb job for us. He was honest and forthright throughout the process and worked hard to get us the mortgage loan terms that we wanted/needed. One of us is self-employed, which didn't present any obstacles thanks to Herb's expertise! We strongly recommend Herb Mason and NKBC! You will not be disappointed with the experience. In fact, we have referred our children to Herb to assist them with financing their new home purchase. ”
—Alan & Deborah Gianc from Selbyville, DE
