“Andy Adkins is a blessing to his community. Work is worship and his craftmanship comes through in the kindness and sharpness of his communication with the customer, underwriting officers, supervisors, real estate agents. Andy is the best lending officer I could have asked for my home purchase in CA. He went above and beyond in communicating with my agent through time difference to clarify items for a smooth closing. Andy keeps communication channels open and no question is silly, small or stupid. As a new home buyer, I truly appreciated this demeanor as there are many questions in the mind of a customer. Andy sets a high bar of customer service in the lending industry and I cannot recommend him enough!”
—Gini from San Jose, CA
“Andy is one of kind 'Super'lender. He is agile, communicated with all parties involved, including his internal team. His dedication is truly to help people close home loans and genuinely want to make a home buying experience smooth. I cannot recommend Andy and NBKC bank enough! ”
—Ragni M from San Jose, CA
“I had an excellent experience working with Andy on my refinance. It was my first time doing one so I had a lot of questions. He was knowledgeable and patient as he answered all of my questions and advised me on the best options to select given my situation. I'm happy with the rate and closing costs that I got and now understand the workings of refinancing so much better than I did before.”
—Michael from Overland Park, KS
“What can I add to the rest of these stellar reviews. I AGREE! Andy was always available during our process of securing our home in TN and selling our home in NC. He was always going above and beyond to make sure everyone in the process had all the documents and information they needed so nothing fell through the cracks. If you want a low drama, easy and smooth home finance, then get ahold of Andy like yesterday. At the end of the whole process I felt like Andy was a friend. I will absolutely recommend and use him again.”
—Dan Admonis from Mount Pleasant, TN
“As first time homebuyers, I cannot thank Andy enough for helping me and my wife navigate the process of purchasing our home. Andy made himself available at all hours of the day for any questions we had (believe me, there were a lot). When I spoke to Andy, I felt like I was talking to a friend rather than being treated like just another client. As much as we appreciated Andy as a person, we really appreciated his honesty and transparency on the business side of the house. We received a full explanation of everything we were paying for rather than being left to guess what all the charges were actually for. As VA homebuyers, my wife and I went back and forth on whether or not to put forth a down payment. Andy crunched the numbers several times for us to help us make the right decision. On top of that, he helped us secure a super competitive rate given today’s market, and we even walked out with a check at closing! ”
—Skyler Kirby from Oklahoma City, OK
“I have worked with this lender multiple times. As always the whole process from start to finish was seamless. Pre approval was easy, as was approval. Appraisal was done very quickly”
—hewettd from Georgetown, TX
“Andy assisted us with multiple mortgages (purchase process & refinance) and I cannot recommend him enough. He patiently provided us with various options to help us get the best financial outcome. NBKC has some of the best rates around. He made himself available to discuss any questions that came up during the process, big or small. Definitely the right person to have on your team when navigating the mortgage process!”

“Andy was incredible to work with. I first reached out just to ask how to prepare to buy a home, and a year later when I was ready, he helped me close the deal. As a young, first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions and Andy answered every single one with patience and clarity. He was always available, extremely knowledgeable, and truly cared about helping me succeed. I highly recommend him. I cannot stress enough how much of a help Andy has been EVERY single step of the way. I will recommend him every day of the week!”
—Jorge Rosas from Baton Rouge, LA
“I had an outstanding experience working with Andy from start to finish. He was incredibly responsive, always quick to answer questions and provide updates, which made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. His knowledge and expertise were evident in every interaction—he took the time to explain each step clearly and ensured I felt confident in every decision. What truly set him apart was his professionalism and dedication. No matter how small my question was, he was always patient, thorough, and willing to help. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to provide exceptional service. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and responsive loan originator. Working with him made what can often be a stressful process feel seamless and well-managed.”
—Marion Kimani from Jacksonville, FL
“We worked with Andy to buy our first home, and again on a refi as rates dropped. He was superb on both occasions. Other lenders we approached for a quote would take days or even weeks(!) to respond. I worry a bit for anyone who is so attached to their technology, but as a customer, it was amazing to have answers to questions literally within minutes. And boy did we have questions! Andy was terrific at holding our hands through the process, explaining the alternative options, and helping us make the right decisions. As the dust has settled, and we've evaluated our choices, it's only confirmed that we made the right choice in working with Andy. Buying a home is so stressful and confusing, but it helps a lot to have a great partner at the bank. ”

What you focus on grows, so focus daily on the positive outcomes you desire in your life and they will absolutely come true.
I make an award-winning cherry pie from scratch. As a kid, my grandmother Helen always made me one every time I went to the farm to visit. She never had a recipe written down so when she lost her memory, I lost the best pie ever made. Store pies are awful, so I researched and tried tons of recipes before finally finding one that was close. After a few tweaks I had it and won 2 pie contests with it! I use her old rolling pin when I make the crust. Thanks Grandma!!
