Mike Yarbrough was wonderful to deal with during our house buying process. He answered every question we had, and at closing, all we had to do was sign! Everything was prepared and ready for us, even though we weren't in the same state, and it was all extremely easy. We had a VA loan, and Mike knew all the of the rules and requirements concerning the VA Loan. We definitely recommend him for a home loan, he's great!!

Mike was great throughout the whole process of getting a loan for my new home. Quick to respond, quick to adjust to my changes and needs. He made it seem easy. It is a stressful process buying a home, and Mike made sure that the loan process was not part of that stress. Thanks again! I would highly recommend!

Mike Yarbrough of NBKC Bark was incredible to work with and I would highly recommend anyone seeking lending services to start with him. He was impressively responsive and professional, and met all of our needs. Amazing!

This was the third loan we have placed through NBKC (two purchases and one refinance). Each time it has been a smooth, seamless process. During our second purchase our original loan officer was promoted and Mike Yarbrough stepped in to take over. Mike picked up the ball and kept it moving without the least bit of delay. Mike is a great communicator and was very helpful in answering any of our questions and keeping us up to date on the process. With support from bankers like Mike Yarbrough, I have every reason I need to continue working with NBKC on my mortgage needs.

Mike really took the time to understand what we were looking for in a loan including down payment options that would allow us to secure a great loan. The entire process was very fast also and Mike kept me updated at each step so I always knew where in the process we were and what was needed of me as well as others involved (insurance, appraiser, etc).

Except for underwriting conditions which were eventually settled, the entire process was smooth and quick. Everyone was patient and understanding with the processing and closing. Very good experience.
