GBDidn't know what a barndominium was… I Didn't know what a barndominium was… In an effort to keep this short, sweet and to the point don't deal with a mortgage company that doesn't understand real estate. We decided to give our business to North American Savings Bank because of the perceived large offering of products for mortgages. To set the stage my wife and I have credit scores at or above 800 no consumer or auto debt and the only debt we have are two secured mortgages that have rental income that more than cover their costs. We own three properties one residential, one rental and one commercial, With a total equity north of $1.3 million. We started our mortgage journey with Dirk kiser (loan officer) and explained to Dirk that we were looking at and had made an offer on a property consisting of 95 acres and a barndominium. We gave him the listing information and discussed what that property was and what our intention is. You would think that if there were any concerns with this type of property we would have been alerted at that time or shortly thereafter. That was not the case, in fact we made it all the way up to four days prior to the closing when we were then told that they did not have a product that fit our property. We are now at risk of losing a property that we had searched three years to find because of the ineptitude of one individual with the inability to know his products and real estate in general. If you are looking for a property that doesn't fit the cookie cutter 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house in suburbia do not and I repeat do not waste your time and money with this company. To sum things up Dirk made it very clear that he and North American savings bank takes no responsibility for us losing the opportunity to purchase this property. Thank you NASB for wasting our time and money.

GBWORST MORTGAGE LENDER EVER. Veterans Run for the Hills. WORST MORTGAGE LENDER EVER. I have unfortunately been a NASB customer on a VA Loan for over 3 years. They have continuously caused problems and refuses to own up to their own mistakes. They constantly raised my escrow amount each year beyond what the cost of property tax and insurance is. Most recently, they paid the wrong insurance policy! They paid the insurance policy for a property they do not have the loan on. That property is through another lender. This caused my monthly mortgage payment to increase ~400$. They asked that I "pay the increased price" until they could figure the issue out. It took 3 months. I just refinanced through another lender. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere from the start.

GBNASB is awful NASB is awful. Believe the bad reviews. Picked them from the Costco program in August and they couldn't get a simple refi closed by mid-Dec.

GBIt took NASB almost 5 months to close… It took NASB almost 5 months to close our refi. They would schedule a day for closing and then delay it due to not having some type of “document.” The last delay was due to NASB saying they didn’t have our homeowners insurance document. NASB said they contacted my insurance company, but there hasn’t been any response. When I found this out, I called my insurance company. I was told that no one from NASB had called them. My insurance company sent me the document immediately. It was exactly the same document that I uploaded into NASB’s portal four months earlier.
