At James B. Nutter & Company, flowers are a passion. To us, planting flowers is one of the important ways to turn a house into a home. Your flowers. Your home.

Adding flowers around your house, whether an elaborate flower garden or a simple clay pot of blooms, is much more than personal creativity. We believe it is one of the acts that emotionally triggers the unique feeling of home. Besides that, flowers are cheerful welcome signs; they turn streets into neighborhoods; yards into landscapes; strangers into neighbors.

In addition to our familiar company trademark -- a rooftop over a red "N" - there is a second symbol James B. Nutter & Company is known for: a yellow flower. A beautiful yellow daffodil, to be exact. To us, this is the symbol of good neighborhoods, of happy places to raise a family. We have proudly helped neighborhoods grow with low-cost home mortgages all across the United States.

At the heart of America's greatness is a strong family in a good neighborhood. We believe in the power of a safe, loving neighborhood where neighbors care about neighbors. We think it's even more important today because, in many parts of many towns, it isn't true anymore - but it can be. If we care enough.

"Come on home" is one of the nicest things anyone can hear. Old-fashioned, maybe even corny, it's what James B. Nutter & Company is all about. It's a wonderful feeling to go almost anywhere and find people who say, 'I've had my home loan with James B. Nutter & Company for years." We derive great satisfaction from having helped, in many cases, three generations of the same family achieve the American dream.

Our company has also put its money where its heart is. In fact, one of our proudest accomplishments has been the renovation of the older neighborhood surrounding our national headquarters in midtown Kansas City. Our carefully restored area in the historic Westport district is now affectionately known as Nutterville. Of course, it abounds with colorful flower gardens to go with brightly painted houses. They symbolize the comfort and familiarity of "coming home."
