Originally financed our home through NBKC three years ago. Couldn't have been more pleased by the helpfulness of the agent or the low rate (much better than the large competitors). Now time to refi with lower rates and again NBKC is leading the way. Extremely easy to use, good closing costs, excellent rate. The only drawback is that NBKC sells your mortgage to one of the large lenders so you only get to work with them for a short time. (They are very open about this during your loan application.) A joy to work with. Highly recommended.
