Best lender and best home buying experience
“I'm so glad I stumbled upon NBKC recommendation from a random thread on Reddit. My husband and I have bought 5 houses, so we're no strangers to the home buying process. I was pleasantly surprised that Jim was so easy to work with. He was very knowledgeable about the VA process and gathered all information he needed up front. We were able to close within 30 days without being asked for any additional paperwork last minute. As a cherry on top, we got a really good rate with no points, no origination fees and the lowest closing cost we have ever got. 10/10 would use this lender again for any refinancing in the future. ”
—Anh Ison from Rapid City, SD
Highly recommend!
“I can’t stay enough good things about Jim and NBKC bank. I connected with Jim after having a bad experience with a different lender, and the difference in customer experience was night and day. Jim was extremely attentive, informative, and always available when I needed him. I was approved for an awesome rate (the lowest I could find) and the process was so easy as compared to others I’ve experienced. Thank you so much Jim for your help! ”
—Taylor Keegan from Neptune, NJ
So Professional!
“I have worked with Jim twice now; once on a new home loan and now on the refinance of that home. Jim is so professional yet, friendly and quick to explain everything to me during the process. The entire process went much quicker than I expected with wonderful rates and results. He is our entire family's go-to guy for home purchase and refinancing.”

Amazing to work with - highly recommend !
“I shopped around and through that process worked with several loan officers - far and above Jim Schneider was the most honest and easiest to work with. He was honest, patient, kind, helpful, thorough, and timely! He watched the market for the best rate and contacted me over the weekend to make sure we could lock in the rate. Jim is wonderful to work with and made the entire process easy - best experience I have ever had working with a loan officer! ”
