Jackie was amazing to work with. She is personable, professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and made the entire loan process painless AND enjoyable. I can't thank her enough for her guidance and skills. I closed my loan yesterday and couldn't be more pleased.

As a member of the Armed Forces my family moves a lot. But I have never had to purchase my home form out of state like I did, until it was time to plan my retirement. Jackie Runk was amazing at keeping me informed about my loan. She walked me through the paperwork and even answered questions on a weekend when I needed it. She made my experience feel personal, as if she was helping a family member. even after my loan closed and there wasn't anymore required of her to secure the loan , she still checked in on me. I would definitely return to her if I was looking for anther loan. Jackie Runk is a professional among professionals.

Jackie Runk, is AWESOME!!!! Jackie walked us through the whole process and treated us like we were her only customers. I was planning to finance my new home through another bank. In fact, I had already started the process when I asked one of my co-workers who they used for their home loan. He told me he used Jackie. I said Who is Jackie Runk? At that point five heads popped up over their cubicles and stated exclaiming the virtues of Jackie and NBKC Bank. Since that time, I have talked to several other customers of Jackie's and the response was universal, She is AWESOME!! She didn't just process the loan, she massaged it. Several times during the process, she provided expert advice that not only kept us qualified for a loan but got us the best available rate. As long as Jackie is a mortgage loan officer, I will use no one else.

Jackie is by far the most knowledgeable mortgage loan officer I have ever worked with especially with regard to VA loans. She knew of ways to use our VA Eligibility even with part of our eligibility tied up in another property when all other loan officers I had spoke to said it couldn't be done. The whole transaction with seamless and we live in another state. I would highly recommend her.

Jackie handled two refinance loans for us in 2010 and 2011. She is by far the best Loan Officer that we ever worked with. Her professionalism, knowledge, thoroughness, expediency, patience, great communicator and excellent customer service are a few of the attributes Jackie displayed. We thank NBKC for having such a wonderful Mortgage Loan Officer!

Give Jackie a raise... seriously. This woman sold us, befirended us, expedited for us, ran shepherding for us, and basically kept this thing together - atop this, she knew more about what could be done and what could not be done than 5 other loan officers (from other institutions) which I spoke with before selecting you folks because of her. She is the quinticential loan officer who makes the job look easy and you folks are sincerely lucky to have her working your business.

Jackie made us feel as though we were her only clients. Both my wife and I were deployed during a majority of this process but she made it happen for us. Look forward to working with her in the future on refi of two other properties we own and recommending her services to friends and family.

Jackie has exercised sound judgment and has been a wise and kindly counsel during the course of my loan. She rendered efficient, faithful and unobtrusive but invaluable service through out my loan process. I appreciate the energy, the enthusiasm, the resourcefulness and the skill with which she served as my loan consultant. Jackie also showed high moral integrity, principles, and unselfish devotion. It would be impossible adequately to express the gratitude I feel for the kindness which she has extended to me.

It’s been a long time since I have had the pleasure of working with a person that applies the dedication, support, and service to a customer as Jackie. I thought this level of superior customer service had long disappeared with nerve-racking automation. Thank you, Jackie, for great communication and a great refinance!
