The Kind of Broker You Hope to Find
“Honesty is the most important quality I look for, and that is exactly what stood out with Jackie. She was upfront about everything and never tried to sneak in hidden fees like so many others do. On top of that, her expertise saved me money. I thought about waiting, but she used her experience to lock in at the perfect time. Quite literally had I waited a day longer, I would have had a higher rate. She also beat many other quotes from different Lenders right away, which gave me complete confidence I was in good hands. I am grateful for how she handled the process, and she will be the first person I call for any future mortgage or refinance.”
—Alex from Sterling, VA

She was always quick to respond, super organized, and made sure we understood what was going on throughout the whole process.

She stayed on top of every detail and kept everything moving smoothly all the way to closing. We’re really grateful for all her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a lender who truly cares and knows what they’re doing. Thank you Jackie! ”

Jackie is great
“I have completed so many notes with NBKC with Jackie as my loan officer I can't keep count anymore! She locked us in at the lowest rate. She makes the process easy and NBKC has blown all other lenders out of the water on rates. Loan funding has been under 30 days on all three. Truly a specialist on VA loans.”
