Sheldon was the best. After my first phone encounter with him, I hung up feeling like I had a family member. He always kept me informed to what was going on and in my opinion always had my best interest at heart.
Sheldon is outstanding, great Asset to Veterans United. the team has been the epitome of Professionalism, very through, easy to work with, ecellent People Skills.
Everyone went above and beyond to make it as easy as possible for a first time home buyer .
Everything was great and moving fast until it wasn’t. Sheldon assured me he would be locking us into a great rate and could offer us a 4.99 and that he’d be watching the rates like a hawk. The week before closing I get a email (not a phone call) that the rates have rose and that he wanted to lock us in at 5.99!!!!! That was so disappointing and at closing I saw that we had to buy down points 10,000 plus dollars! Sheldon was recommended by a friend and I honestly wish I would have chose the lender I was going with who was offering me a rate lower than what I got and I really feel like I was caught up in a bate and switch. Towards the end I never got a phone call from Sheldon but I did from Morgan and Alisca. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this company to any of my veteran friends or family.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Veronica,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I�m sorry to hear that the final stages of your loan process were disappointing, especially regarding the interest rate and the unexpected costs at closing. We understand that securing the best rate possible is a priority for our clients, and I�m sorry that the rate didn�t meet your expectations.
I wanted to provide a bit of background to clarify what happened with the rate lock. Sheldon and the team reviewed several rate options with you during the process, discussing how market conditions can impact rates and explaining the pros and cons of locking in versus floating. Ultimately, you chose to float the rate for a period, and when the market shifted, we were able to lock in at 5.375%, which is still a competitive rate given current conditions.
We know how important communication is, and I apologize if there was any confusion or if the rate-lock process felt unclear at times. I�m also sorry if the final numbers at closing, including the cost for points, were a surprise. Our goal is always to ensure that our clients feel fully informed and supported at every step of the process.
If you�d like to discuss this further or if there�s anything we can address for you, please don�t hesitate to reach out to us directly at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We�re available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST Monday through Friday, but feel free to reach out anytime.
Thank you again for sharing your experience. We�re committed to learning from feedback like yours to improve our communication and provide the best possible service to our clients.
Sheldon was extremely professional and made the whole experience stress free for our family!
