This was a very difficult experience. I have purchased three homes in my life. I was really praying that the fact that the company used "Veterans" would be more conducive to taking care of business. It was not up to par.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Brenda,
I’m sorry to hear this experience fell short of your expectations, especially after trusting a company that serves Veterans. Buying a home should feel supported and straightforward, and I understand how disappointing it must have been for the process to feel otherwise.
Your feedback is appreciated, and I’d welcome the chance to learn more about what happened. If you’re open to it, please reach out to me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Everyone was Wonderful to work with
Veterans United Home Loans, it took a lot of of the stress out of a very stressful process
Pretty painless process. Everyone was as nice and helpful as you could expect.This was our first VA loan experience, and this team rolls out the red carpet.Thank youNick & Stacy
Veterans United was exceptional! They worked with us through any hiccups, and assured us closing was still going to happen. They were able to answer any question, and we knew they were only a phone call away! We would recommend to anyone.
I think the patience in understanding the process, and the consistent communication was really beneficial for my wife and I.
As U.S. Army veteran I found the Veterans United group was extremely well coordinated as each team member was in communication with the others. Any questions that aroz were quickly answer with guidance along the way.
My assigned realtor was so very wonderful and helped me shop for our new home day and night until we found the right one. Even after the sale she made herself available and assisted with numerous questions and issues.
My insurance agent became involved as we moved towards closing and became an intricate part of the team ensuring his part would enter the fold seamlessly.
As with any major purchase, there are many eyes to dot and tees to cross. Each team member made sure I stayed on track completing each task at the appropriate time.
If I was to purchase another home or knew someone that was, I would definitely recommend Veterans United 100%.
I seemed to have stumbled with a lot of issues, needed to know more of the payments ahead maybe a height in awareness but it’s why some can shy away from business. Also some may not have the time for videos such as myself because one should know the military is always moving and barely gives breaks/time to review such information such as being overseas in my experience. Lastly the closing was a bit of a mess, my wife being on the paperwork was not ideal because she is not a citizen yet and I planned on doing the right paperwork after the fact.
Response from Veterans United
Hey Angel,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry parts of the process felt frustrating and overwhelming, especially while balancing military life and being overseas. I understand how difficult it can be to find extra time to review videos or additional information during a move or transition.
I also apologize for the confusion and stress surrounding the closing process and paperwork involving your wife. Your feedback about communication and setting expectations is truly appreciated and helps us improve the experience for future borrowers.
If you’d like to talk more about your experience, please reach out to me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.

The process went extremely smoothly and quickly thanks to the great help by Laura and Brayden
The staff are very professional and helpful throughout the entire house loan and house hunting process.
I appreciate how organized they are and how they communicated with me about things needed or status updates. This is my second loan with VU. Both times I had Phi Smyzer helping me and he is absolutely amazing to work with. His professionalism, attentiveness and communication are always what makes the difference for me. During both loans I was going through rough times, which means that I was very stressed out and had the need to ask a lot of questions. Phil was very patient and always provided me with clear communication and realistic expectations. I am very grateful for Phil!
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!!!
Stephen Erickson and his team are absolute rockstars. They are the reason I am a returning customer!
Yes, I would recommend Veterans United Home Loans to family, friends, and others. Everyone I worked with was great throughout the entire process. They followed up regularly, responded promptly whenever I reached out, answered all of my questions, worked around my schedule, and provided all the information I needed. Thank you for making the experience smooth and stress-free! Thank you Macenzie, Melissa, Nick, Darren and anyone else that I forgot to mention.
