James B. Nutter

One of the largest privately-owned mortgage banking providers in the country, James B. Nutter & Company helped pioneer equal opportunity mortgage loans, in Kansas City and across the United States. Founded in 1951 by James B. Nutter following his military service, the company used the flourishing real estate market of post-World War II America to begin marketing residential properties and originating mortgages in Kansas City. Now James B. Nutter operates in all fifty states, with more than 80 percent of its business outside Kansas City.

Today, James B. Nutter remains one of the lowest-cost home mortgage lenders around, believing in customer relations and providing a personal as well as professional touch for people looking to finance or refinance a home. James B. Nutter offers a wide range of services, including FHA and VA mortgages, conventional loans, reverse mortgages, and no-closing-cost financing. Ever since the real estate boom in the first decade of the twenty-first century, the Nutter family has spoken out against sub-prime loans, arbitrary and unnecessary closing costs and other "junk fees" that many other lending companies charge. James B. Nutter & Company has pledged to keep costs and fees as low as possible for customers, saying "If a loan isn't good and affordable for the borrower, then it isn't good for us.".
