Our Loan Agent Jim Schneider was absolutely outstanding in all aspects of our loan process. Mr. Schneider was always very quick to respond to any of our questions even if it was a weekend, holiday, or evening. We would definitely use him again.
NBKC did a very good job with our home refinance, providing us with a very competitive rate and excellent customer service. Both Jim Schneider(Loan Officer) and Pat Schlimmer(VP) made themselves available to answer any and all questions and reassure me over any concerns.
If anyone is considering a home refinance, I would highly recommend NBKC
Mr. Schneider ,in my opinion, went above and beyond my expectations in processing my VA-Streamline loan. His expertise is equaled by few. I would recommend Jim to my family and friends as a competent Loan Officer, one that succeeds in getting the job accomplished on schedule. Sincerely: Ken Omasta

Jim was awesome. This was not our first experience with purchasing a home so we know what separates a good lender from a bad lender. NBKC out did our other experiences and Jim gets all the credit. Thanks for having someone like him on your staff. Expect our references to NBKC!

This was a far easier experience than I had feared. Jim kept us informed every step of the way and answered questions we had quickly. I was not sure about doing business with a bank so far away, but Jim’s professionalism and customer service was why we chose this bank.

Two weeks from initial contact to closing. I was beyond satisfied, I was impressed. The materials and instructions I was given were very well organized and helpful in collecting the required information.
Jim went out of his way three different times to help me with my application and keep the process moving. The mobile notary that came to my home was knowledgeable, pleasant, and helpful. This was a very positive experience. I don't know how it could have been better. Thank you!

I want to convey my appreciation for your assistance in acquiring my refinance with general ease. I didn't want efforts by my personal loan officer Jim Schneider in making it possible to go unnoticed. This wasn't a spur of the moment quest for me. I pursued the right option with the right company, broker or bank for months and yours NBKC was the most accommodating with rates and professionalism, without the smoke and mirrors. Everything was clear, upfront and simple. NBKC Even offered better options and services than traditional military or supposedly veteran friendly institutions that I’ve done business with over my twenty plus year military career. I was impressed and pleased with NBKC 's mortgage business model and pleased with the way my file was handled. I was especially pleased that I didn't have to go through the dreaded nut roll I'd anticipated and appreciated the communication and professionalism that facilitated the development of confidence and a timely efficient closing. This was a highly positive experience, unlike that which mortgage seekers have grown to expect and dread, I will and have shared with my peers and associates, and I will recommended you (Jim and NBKC) should either need similar assistance.

Jim Schneider was outstanding in our refinance process. After making the decision to refinance - NBKC was our 2nd choice. Unfortunately, our first choice was unable to close the deal as went with a broker vs. bank. After weeks of frustration with the local broker, I re-connected with Jim and within 3 weeks of that initial call we had refinanced our home. We locked in at 4.75% 30 year fixed which was a huge improvement from our 6.5% ARM. Jim was knowledgeable, courteous, straight forward, and incredibly responsive. The process at NBKC was flawless and efficient. After several closing on homes prior to this one, this was by far the best experience. NBKC should feel very fortunate to have such an outstanding employee representing their firm.

My refinancing was completed in less than a month, and Jim could not have been nicer! I initially contacted LendingTree, and was harassed by so many lenders who wanted my business that it was refreshing to deal with someone as courteous and considerate as Jim. He was the only lender who actually called during the hours I requested. He was also available after hours to answer any questions I had. I have since recommended him to my friend who is in the process of buying a house, and she has decided to use him also. All in all it was a very positive experience!

Experienced, friendly, and FAST!
Jim was absolutely fantastic. He anticipated what he would need from me long before the underwriter requested it, and closed with zero hiccups! He offered a great rate and was informative through the whole process. Any time I emailed him he got back to me immediately, even sometimes during non-business hours!

Jim was great the entire way. He explained every step and assured me we would close on time. The rate easily beat 2 other lenders, including the preferred lender from the builder.

Jim was amazing during our process. We were met with many sceptics for using and out of state lender, but Jim definitely proved their logic invalid. His communication and support throughout the process made everything so much easier. We have already been recommending him to others.
