Tim Alvis would be great for someone who is NOT buying their first house. He would be a great candidate for someone who is an experienced buyer. It was not a good experience for me and my husband and we were disappointed in his complacency that ultimately changed our closing date and our view of veterans United home loans.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Rebecca,
I’m sorry to hear that your experience as first-time homebuyers left you and your husband feeling disappointed. Purchasing a home for the first time can already feel overwhelming, and it’s important to have clear communication, guidance, and support throughout the process.
I understand why changes to your closing timeline and the overall experience would affect your confidence and perception of Veterans United. Every borrower’s situation is different, and first-time buyers especially should feel informed and supported every step of the way. I appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback.
I’d like the opportunity to learn more about your experience and discuss your concerns further. Please feel free to contact me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. The Client Advocate team is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and messages outside those hours are typically responded to the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Veterans United did an amazing job! Our home buying experience was made easy with the team that was provided! I would recommend Veterans United to any veteran that's looking to purchase a home!
Amber Brown with Veterans United was amazing in helping me purchase my first home. She was very responsive, listened to what I had to say, and let me know she is always available even after I closed on my home.
I was pleased with the prompt service I received with Veterans United. The paperless contact system works very well to accomplish the details required with loan approval! Great Job!

We had different situation than most, we were buying the house we were renting. Tyler at Veterans United guided us through the application process, helped us get to our goal. Thanks Tyler! I would recommend Veterans United to any Veteran trying to navigate the home buying process. I learned so much about this benefit during the process.
Tommy and Sara were terrific throughout the entire process, keeping me informed and providing guidance, plus helping to expedite when needed.
Great availability and willingness to explain situations! Very open about pricing and options available.
Veterans United was very easy to work with and their employees are very efficient. A special thanks to Alberto and his team for their professionalism and efficiency. Alberto really made my experience a positive one.Will definitely recommend Veterans United to people looking for a mortgage.
The overall experience was seamleasly smooth. I'd always been intimidated by the idea of purchasing a home but am blessed to have come across Veterans United. ***Disclaimer*** My lovely wife did most of the facilitating because she interacts with people very easily but she is just as happy with the service as I am.
From the very beginning Veterans United was impressive. It started with a simple inquiry online, and within minutes, Lauren called. At that time my wife and I were on a trip, so I gathered some quick info, and explained to Lauren that I would be in touch after our trip. She listened and let me reach out to her once we were back home. Once we got started on the loan process, it could not have gone smoother. Talking to Lauren didn't feel as if we were talking to a stranger, but a friend. She was there any time and any day we needed her. Lauren is extremely professional, but at the same time, laid back and fun to work with. She is outstanding!!! We feel very fortunate to have worked with Veterans United, as they are competent, and make what could be a stressful situation, smooth and stress free.
Honest and straightforward about everything. Make sure I had all the tools needed.

Meghan was truly exceptional from beginning to end throughout our entire loan process and through closing. She was consistently engaged, responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. No question ever went unanswered, and she made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Her communication, professionalism, and dedication were outstanding. We are incredibly grateful for her guidance and highly recommend Meghan to anyone looking for an amazing loan officer.
My wife and I would like to convey (we learned that word from our real estate dealings, lol) our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of the Veteran's United Team!!!Our journey began with Smith Gaddy on May 23rd. This being our first home ever (yes, at our age...), we did not know what to do or expect. We were guided by you all every step of the way. Our concierge (Casie) got us connected and on track for this process. She also hooked us up with our realtor. Tyler (our loan officer) got involved immediately and worked on our preapproval. Every step was detailed and explained in ways we could understand. The patience, understanding, and commitment was/is so amazing. Cara kept us on track for the underwriter and Jimmy kept the ball rolling in the same efficient manner when Cara was not available. Alicia got our Homeowners insurance in line and patiently kept making necessary changes as we needed them. We successfully closed on July 25th, 2022!Tyler (our loan officer) has gone out of his way to make our dream come true. He helped us overcome obstacles which could have destroyed our dream from becoming a reality. We will never forget him or his team!We tell you all this so you can get an idea from the buyers/our perspective. You all never lost sight of why you are doing this.I am a Vietnam Veteran who has had a difficult trip through life. I never would have dreamed this possible. More importantly, my wife gets the one thing in this life that she has always dreamed of. Thank you for what you have done for us! Remember that you all hold the ability to fulfill a void in a veteran and his family's life. It makes a HUGE difference and again we will be forever grateful to you all. Thank you!!!
Austin and the team were absolutely amazing. All of them were consistently checking in to make sure we were happy with the process and always had the answers to any of my questions. Nikki Cravens‑Howard Was the only person I had an issue with, she was distant and I constantly felt as if I was a bother when dealing with her. She did not respond when needed and passed me off to others again making me feel as though I were not important enough to deal with. Every other team member I dealt with were a 10+.
