Makes complicated…easy!
“Jackie has helped us twice with our VA mortgages and made the complicated process of home buying easy. Home buying can be a dreadful task…we never stressed! Jackie & team kept us informed, made documents easy to review/sign, locked us in at great rates and had closings scheduled in minimal time Thank you!!”
—TimFink5 from Rockledge, FL
Professional and customer service oriented.
“Jackie is the definition of a lending machine. She is professional, knowledgeable, creative, and persistent. During the process she noticed the rate decrease one day prior to a FED announcement and swooped in to get me that rate where as other lenders would have kept me at the higher one. I've used her for multiple home purchases and would never use anyone else again.”
—Mike F. from Bulverde, TX
BEST LENDER EVER
“As a first time homebuyer, Jackie was AMAZING to work with. She was so helpful and answered any questions I had and really made my first home buying experience seem “easy.” Truly couldn’t have imagined working with anyone else. Highly recommend her for your mortgage needs. ”

Fantastic
“It was a pleasure working with Jackie. During our mortgage process we dealt with 3 other banks to see who could offer us the best rate. Jackie was by far the most responsive and professional and offered the best rate. I highly recommend her.”
—Eileen from Dumont, NJ
The best lender!!
“Jackie Runk is one of the best lenders/officers I have worked with. Very professional, punctual and informative. I’ve worked with many lenders before and by far Jackie has been the best. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. She is very versed in VA loans and you can tell she has experience and very good customer service. No unnecessary back and forth and to the point, exactly the way I like to work. Thank you for making this already stressful home buying process so much easier! 10/10. Absolutely would work with her again. ”

Just an Amazing Person!
“Jackie was incredible! It was my first time buying a home and she answered every question I had quickly and honestly. I can truly say that I did not run into any surprises during the home buying process because she was that thorough and involved. Always a professional, but also demonstrated her personal dedication to ensuring the success of our loan approval. I could not have asked for a better agent.”
—Sean Carnahan from Kingsport, TN
She is the best!
“Jackie was so helpful. This was for our first house, and she was very positive, patient and resourceful. She was great at responding quickly via phone and email. We were so glad that she was a part of our home buying experience. ”

She is the Best, I guarantee
“Jackie, was extremely informative, always available, day or night 7 days a week, she explained in detail every step of the process to us. She virtually held our hands every step of the way. She obtained the best rates, minimized closing costs, ensured all i's were dotted and all t's were crossed and all of this working with us from about 2500 miles away. She was very kind, very friendly and extremely patient with us through this whole process. If you want a stress free home loan from this wonderful lady, she will give you 150%. I would highly recommend her and NBKC to anyone in the United states. If you don't use Jackie, you will only be hurting yourselves.”
—Donna Carnahan from Kingsport, TN
