“Ty Swartz was absolutely amazing throughout my entire home loan process, not just once, but across multiple homes over the years in different states, including helping with my parents’ home as well this year. His communication was outstanding from start to finish. Ty is incredibly hardworking, always responsive, and took the time to answer every single question, whether it was during normal business hours or after hours. He kept us updated every step of the way and made sure we fully understood the process of securing a home. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care truly set him apart.

From our very first conversation, he made everything clear and easy to understand. NBKC Bank was upfront with their best pricing immediately, with no games or haggling required. Ty stayed on top of every detail, including items outside of his direct responsibility, and consistently went above and beyond expectations. He is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and efficient, which made a typically stressful process feel smooth and well-managed.

Cliché as it might sound, getting new house keys in my customers hands. Truly nothing more enjoyable than that first phone call after documents have been signed and they own their new home.

While at Kanas State, I was an equipment manager for the football team and my gameday job was to hold the headset cord for Legendary Hall of Fame Coach Bill Snyder. So, I have many miles logged walking side by side with Coach up and down that sideline hearing every word spoke into his microphone and every play as it was relayed to the team.
