Advice for New Home Buyers
Do not empty your retirement accounts for a bigger down payment.
“Everyone at NBKC was great. Unfortunately my appraiser was the complete opposite and caused a lot of problems that Matt and his team worked to resolve. It really slowed the process down but was no fault of NBKC, they put in a lot of extra work on this”

“We had the pleasure of working with Matt and Ellen for the purchase of a new home. They were exceptional! The loan options offered, the communication, professionalism, etiquette, availability, knowledge, insight, care…you name it…it was all a 10 out of 10! Very grateful to have found them and to be able to do business with them. They will definitely be the go-to team in the future, for our next loan/mortgage needs. Thank you Matt & Ellen for a great overall experience, in a matter that is so important in anybody’s life! You made it easy and less stressful! All the best 🙏🤗”

“Matt and his team made it feel like we were their only client. Attention to detail, follow ups, and excellent communication at any time of day or day of week. Could not recommend Matt and his team more!”

“I would recommend Matt to my friends and family, and will strongly consider using him again when I refinance my mortgage. Matt communicated frequently and professionally with me throughout the process, and was very responsive via email and text, including on weekends. I always knew where my application was in the process. All Matt’s and NBKC’s lending disclosures were very transparent and understandable. My situation was very vanilla, so I cannot speak to his ability to handle more tricky financing or purchasing situations. I bought a townhome in Marland with 20% down, well within my budget, though opted for a higher rate and a lender credit, as I plan to refinance in 1-2 years when rates are expected to drop. NBKC’s interest rates and overall costs for those rates was very competitive vs. other major national mortgage banks I considered. Matt also helped me lock in a lower rate a couple weeks before closing when rates significantly dropped. Matt and NBKC’s lending process was efficient and relatively easy, though I had some hiccups with some investment accounts not linking via NBKC’s automated asset verification tool. The loan team was easily able to process my loan in under 30 days, before I even needed it to close.”
—Stephen Simms from Aberdeen, MD
“My dad has used Matt for his property purchases and swears by him! Fast forward, now all of my siblings (myself included) has used him for our home loans! He is extremely responsive and works hard to make the process as smooth as possible, along with his assistant Ellen. Literally, the best interest rate given out there especially during these high interest rate times. We will be sure to use him in the future for any refinancing or future purchases we may make. Very thankful! ”
