We closed in about 3 weeks, which is awesome. The loan officer and underwriters were quick in expediting documents to close as early as possible.
My only suggestion is to update the estimated attorney fees in your system to locality. The original attorney fees were quoted as over $1000 less than what they ended up being. When the attorney sent their pricing to the lender, I was not notified for a week about the change when it was too close to closing to select a new attorney without delay. Even the day before closing, another $200 came in before signing. Some of this may be illegal kickbacks between the sellers agent (constantly getting sued) and the attorney (his selection), so proper notice of fees would’ve given me earlier negotiating power and not losing so much of my earnest money. I expected the lender to have a “good faith” estimate and I naively banked on having about $2800 in return (including seller additional credit). Understanding I closed early, accounting for about $1000, I still was disappointed to receive only $280 on closing day. If this estimate was more accurate, I would’ve negotiated more seller contribution or new attorneys much earlier. I was told that it’s better this way to not negotiate because it didn’t delay closing, however I’d have been okay to delay closing if it meant I didn’t burn $1000. That’s my choice to make.Also I recommend immediately notifying the attorneys that VA loans do not allow non-spouses on the title. This communication failed between the lender and attorney offices, which will result in me paying several hundred more dollars to add my finance to the title.Otherwise, the rest of the customer service was good, arranging VA inspections, working documents, etc. It’s just hard to not feel duped regarding closing costs. It was naive of me to trust a lender estimate, but it put me in a truly bad position my first month while I cover expenses for moving.
Very smooth process.
Absolutely amazing experience! Made our home buying experience smooth and painless.
Thank you all for a great experience. Everyone was great.
Overall great experience and made the home buying process very simple and stress free.
Veterans United helped us throughout our journey to become first time homeowners. They have an exceptional team that follows and guide us through the process. Thank you for all you do for Veterans and their families.
I’m just a very busy family oriented veteran. The guys made everything I needed possible. When we found a gem of a home, they knew it too and treated it with the greatest urgency and professionalism. More importantly, they were honest with me and didn’t hold anything back. That honesty was tough to hear at times but that’s also what made everything come together. I do hope they feel I gave them the same in return. If not, I do apologize.
Veterans United made the home buying process as simple as it could be. All the hard work of its members helped me and my wife to buy our first home with as little pain as possible.

The team was thorough, always helpful and guiding me. Touching base with me to make sure I am doing ok and ask if I have any questions.
My loan team was great and made everything smooth for us!
Had only amazing things to say about VU through the process and plan to use them again in the future.
My entire team at VU could not have been more helpful. They were nothing shy of amazing and when I asked for them to treat me like I've never bought a house, they were more than accommodating! I wasnt just another vet getting a home loan. They treated me as if we served together. Thank you Nick and the rest of your team for outstanding work.
We will definitely refer to other Veterans for a one stop shop experience. A team that is available almost around the clock is exceptional during an exciting and somewhat stressful process. They made the pieces align in a streamlined fashion and we couldn’t ask for anything more.
