Veterans United replied very quickly regarding the loan process. They did the work which made it easy, and smooth. Very knowledgeable and explained any questions I had. Thank You Katie,, Dene and the entire team for assisting me with this process.
I had not heard of VU before this home buying experiance. I did a search on the web and decided to fill out and submit the general questionnaire. Turned out to be a great decision, Sydney called me latter that day and prequalified me over the phone, and now I’m sitting in my new home filling out this survey.
This was our 4th home buying experience with VU and I can honestly say they are excellent to work with, very competitive rates and no hidden fees as everything is explained up front. As a military member of 35 years I am proud to work with a company who value and respect their military members.
This is the 2nd time we have used Veterans United to purchase a home under the VA home loan program. Just like the 1st time, they were able to get us approved while other National competitors told us no. Our loan officer did an outstanding job with follow-ups and keeping us informed. He and his team led us on every step of the way. Veterans United with make you home buying journey a pleasant one.
Best, so fast, so smart
The gift basket was a nice touch, but I wouldn’t put twizlers or skittles in it. Kinda cheapens the thought.
I am genuinely appreciative to have worked with such an amazing team during this critical time for me and my family. In a time of high stress this team made the experience manageable. The commitment to provide solid support and the consistency in communication were essential. No complaints, I will definitely choose to work with this team again.
I was very pleased with my over all experience with Veterans United team, Holly Rae did a phenomenal job, and I got money back at closing. Great job Veterans United😁
What a great experience. I was clueless to the whole experience. I read articles and YouTube videos, but still didn’t feel prepared for buying my first house.
I have service related mental health issues. I was having a panic attack one day, and Rhett was just reaching out to check in. I was honest with him, and with no judgement and pure empathy he assured me everything was going to be fine. Said he would take care of me, support me through this, and he did!The true care they give is not what I expected or could have imagined. Above and beyond service.They were always there for every question I had, and I had a lot of them. Everyone in the team checked in frequently to see how I was doing. How I was doing with looking for the house, the inspections, all the details of the house buying process…and then check on how I am doing. The attention to detail in their customer service and the whole loan process is top tier!I told my friends and family about the experience. None of them ever had their loan providers buy them coffee to boost morale or support them like you all did.Thank you, truely and deeply.
This experience was awesome. You all made this so easy and understanding.
Thank you

Thank you Veterans United for walking me through what otherwise may have been a frightening and nerve-wracking process. From ensuring my credit was right to work with my budget, you guys were with me through the entire process. I can't thank you enough. Tim #ProudVeteranHomeowner
I really loved the Veterans United portal which was easy to navigate and showed me what needed to be competed. However my loan officer with Veterans United was difficult to get in contact with and I had many questions that were unanswered
Response from Veterans United

I'd like to look into this further and see how we can improve. Could you reach out to our Client Advocate team? You can contact us at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and for your understanding.
All together VU made this experience better. Everyone, from Jeff to Liz to Levi made me and my wife both feel heard and respected. Any questions we had were answered in a timely answer, even if they were about the most basic things in the process. We want to thank them all, from the bottom of our hearts, for helping us buy this home. It is a dream that we were never sure would actually happen.
Taylor Deppe and the entire Veterans United team did an amazing job throughout my entire homebuying journey. As a first time homebuyer, I didn't fully understand the process that went into purchasing a home, but Taylor and her team were always there to answer questions in a timely manner. I gave them my full trust and just closed on my family's dream home.
I would highly recommend Veterans United. If you don't first qualify they have a program that helps provide education to what you need to do to make that happen. Then Scott and Abby was very knowledgeable on the processes and maneuvering thru the VA processes. Information was clear and actual expectations was presented.
My team at Veterans United was outstanding and I will definitely 10/10 recommend them to other service members looking for a home. Thanks!!!
The team did a great job and was a pleasure to work with.
Working with our loan officer, Moya, to secure our first home was smooth because Veterans United employees work tirelessly to lower barriers and make the home buying process fun! They set us up with a phenomenal real estate agent, Alissa, who gave us great advice and found a great home for us.
I was originally informed that I would not have to put any money down except for $1,500.00- escrow (receiving most of that money back after closing), $800.00-apprasal, $500.00- inspection. I advised many times that we didn’t have money to put down and I was told that we would request that the seller pay the closing cost. I trusted that I would not have to pay anything more than $2800.00. When we found a house, we requested the real estate agent to make an offer. There apparently was miscommunication in our text messages, and the real estate agent made an offer without asking the seller to pay the closing cost. When I signed the documents, I didn’t understand what I was reading, this was our first time buying a home and going through this process, with so many forms and jargon I didn’t understand. I trusted the professionals and what was told to me. Unfortunately, that was a huge mistake that I would never make again. Apparently, I was required to pay nearly $12,000 at the end of closing, in addition to the $2800.00. The seller was not asked to pay the closing cost. I seen numbers in the contract I signed, but I didn’t realize I was agreeing to pay those fees. When I informed Anna of the mishap and my lack of understanding, she responded, “We have many people sign contracts and they seem to understand.” That comment made me feel degraded.
My husband had a stroke while he was riding his motorcycle on July 27, 2023. He suffered a brain injury in the wreck. So not only is he recovering from the stroke but also a brain injury. This event changed our lives My husband requires my 24-hour care to help him eat, clean up, moving from place to place, etc. Buying a home at this point was ideal, because we currently rent. Because we rented, he was not able to have the medical equipment he desperately needed, because we could not install medical equipment in the rental home.
I expected this process to be easy, as I was informed it would be. But it was not easy. It was beyond stressful. From being told misinformation, to having to come up with $12,000.00, this process was a complete disaster that left us in a financial mess. I would never recommend Veterans United to anyone. In the near future I will refinance this loan, and we definitely will not be refinancing Veterans United.

Hi Delrick,
I’m really sorry to hear about your experience and the difficulties you faced during your homebuying process. It sounds like you went through an incredibly stressful time, especially with your husband’s health issues. This is definitely not the experience we want for any of our borrowers, and I'm truly sorry that we fell short in your case.
It’s concerning to hear about the miscommunication regarding the closing costs and the lack of clarity around the documents you signed. Buying a home should be a straightforward and positive experience, and it’s clear we didn’t provide the support and guidance you needed.
I’d like to understand more about what happened and see how we can make things right. Could you reach out to our Client Advocate team? You can contact us at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We’re in the office from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST Monday through Friday, but feel free to reach out anytime, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again, I’m very sorry for the trouble you’ve experienced.
