Chris and Carla were the absolute best ever! The purchase of our home was seamless and fast! Best experience we ever had on a purchase like this. Highly recommended.
There were some hick-ups along the way that made the experience more stressful than it needed to be, from misquoting rates (then countering with it being a rate for a different lock period), to CD disparities (162% above the LE). There were also some missed calls where the loan officer said he'd call to discuss documents and then never did call. They spelled my name wrong on at least two documents (not sure who in the process, but it's all connected). I would still recommend VU, but would spell out what to look for that I ran into along the way. Rates are some of the best out there.
Response from Veterans United
Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback Terrence. I’m glad there were parts of your experience that earned your recommendation, but I’m sorry the process was more stressful than it needed to be.
Clear communication and accurate information matter throughout the homebuying process, so I understand why the concerns you described with rate information, disclosures, documents, and missed follow-up would be frustrating. I’d appreciate the opportunity to take a closer look at your experience and any concerns that may still be outstanding.

My experience with Veterans United was outstanding from start to finish. The entire home buying process was explained clearly, and the team kept me informed throughout each step. Whenever I had questions, they were responsive and helped me understand what was needed to keep everything moving toward closing. As a Veteran, I appreciated having a team that understood the VA loan process and made purchasing my home much easier. I would definitely recommend Veterans United to other Veterans and military families.
We’ve purchased four homes using VU, and Nathan Bitner has helped us with our last three. The experience has been phenomenal every time, and it’s why we keep coming back!!
Ready to see for yourself?
Experience first-hand why 378,989 homeowners give us a perfect score!
The service Veterans United provides makes the home buying process clear and reduces the stresses involved.
The steps that are necessary to accomplish are laid out and clear to the borrower.
Other services are offered, but never pushed. We took advantage of the homeowners insurance that was offered because the product was explained clearly and was actually at a better price than what I received while comparing quotes.
Everyone was professional and a pleasure to work!
Thank you to all that I worked with!
This was our third home purchase, but first with VU. At first, before we committed to VU, they seemed responsive and helpful.However, this changed once we decided to proceed with VU. Responses became slow, our loan coordinator was short and borderline rude for answering basic questions. They also sent us the wrong home appraisal, which coincidently our closing was delayed due to our home’s appraisal being late. While this may not have been VU’s fault, the lack of communication was the most concerning.Furthermore, due to our closing being delayed because of the appraisal, I requested all correspondence between VU and the appraiser, since our team said it was their fault. After receiving written confirmation that VU would provide said correspondence, I have received nothing.While I could continue with specific examples, I would summarize with I absolutely would not recommend VU to anyone, nor do we plan to utilize them in any future home purchase. A lawsuit against this organization for misleading advertising and other alleged misconduct should have been a red flag enough but I unfortunately ignored it. Please don’t repeat my mistake.

I’m sorry your experience with us changed so significantly after choosing Veterans United for your home purchase Tony. You should be able to ask questions throughout the process and feel heard, supported, and kept informed. I understand why the communication you described, particularly surrounding the appraisal and closing timeline, left you frustrated.
I’m glad our team was ultimately able to connect with you, provide some clarity around the closing delay, and move things forward. I’m also concerned to hear that you were expecting additional correspondence and feel that follow-through was lacking. I’d appreciate the opportunity to review that concern and your overall experience more closely.

Randee was great from beginning to end of the entire home buying process.
Meghan Kopka was the absolute best. She was so helpful and explained in detail the process. Quick to answer all questions. I couldn't have asked for better service.
Everyone was responsive and kept me informed. All forms were easy to access.
They were there every step of the way
Sold off my loan within a week and now I have to deal with extremely long wait times and customer service who hardly speaks english. I will never recommend this company.Once I bought my house I had issues two hours right after signing and VU did nit give a shit nor did they help in anyway. They are money hungry.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Danielle,
I’m sorry this experience left you feeling like you were on your own after closing. I understand how frustrating it can be to learn that your loan has been transferred so soon after buying your home, especially when you’re already dealing with other concerns.
Even when a loan is transferred to another servicer, you’re still part of the Veterans United family, and I don’t want you to feel like you can’t turn to us for help. I’d appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened after your closing and see if I can provide some clarity.
