Marty was amazing and took care of us the process was super easy and we are very happy with the service we received. Would highly recommend Veterens United home loans. This was our second time using VU to buy a home.
Outstanding Service from multiple team members coordinated by Shea Christenbery who was wonderful to work with. Enrique with the Pre-approval process was great.
Homeowners at 20!
Matt always pulls through with competitive rates while keeping cost low. Super polite, professional, and able to move fast!
Megan Martin was great to work with and always promptly responded to all of our queries and concerns through email, phone calls and text messages! Overall we had a stress-free experience!
I started working with Ross Mclanahan and his team at Veterans United about 3 years ago and just couldn’t find the right home. They helped me navigate through 4 different choices in just the last 6 months. They were always available, and when they couldn’t take my calls they would call me back within 15-30 minutes during business hours. Oftentimes they would stay late to assist me. When I got frustrated they maintained professionalism and went above and beyond. Ross went well beyond what I expected and got my rate down to something in the 4% with what I can only call “imaginary money magic.”

Experience first-hand why 366,718 homeowners give us a perfect score!
Honestly working with everyone was fantastic, they all did an amazing job and I'm extremely thankful how well they facilitated the whole process
We had an amazing experience working with Brock and his team at Veterans United! From start to finish, they were there to support us every step of the way. They truly went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free.No matter the time, Brock and his team were always available to answer our questions and guide us through everything with patience and care. Their communication, professionalism, and dedication made such a difference for us.We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with and are so grateful for all their help. Highly recommend!
Veterans United is unparalleled for home buying. I don't think other companies that say that are VA-backed can do what the people at VU can do. The process was well-detailed. The team I had went above and beyond to help me get my first home and become a homeowner.
Overall, everything worked out well.
The prices/fees are higher than a lot of the other options out there.
Working with your own bank or credit union would probably result in a cheaper outcome or even with other online loan platforms.
The whole process went smoothly and the customer service and communication was excellent.
This is my second loan with Veterans United. The first time my experience was perfect. Unfortunately, this time it wasn't so great. My original loan officer left for maternity leave, congrats to Erinn she was amazing with my first experience. When the second team took over my loan process it was NOT great! There was a lack of communication from my loan coordinator (Jaclyn). There were several errors made by her that almost cost me the house I was trying to purchase. She gave us the clear to close date and it didn't happen. She supposedly sent the info to the VA for approval on a date only to find out that she sent it six days later. I literally had to call the VA 3 times and do the footwork to get the correct dates and approval conformation. Once the actual loan officer (Kat) from Veterans United got involved the process started moving in the positive direction. It was extremely stressful!! We closed 9 days after the original date. I'm not sure if I would use Veterans United again. I'm only recommending because of my 1st experience with Erinn and the effort that Kat did when she got involved.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Herman,
Thank you for sharing this with me. I’m really glad to hear your first experience with Erinn stood out in such a positive way, but I’m sorry this second loan didn’t live up to that same standard. What you described around communication gaps, timeline confusion, and needing to step in yourself sounds incredibly frustrating, especially during something as important as buying a home.
I’m also sorry for the stress caused by the delay in your clear to close and the closing being pushed back. That kind of uncertainty can make an already complex process feel overwhelming. While I’m glad Kat was able to step in and help move things forward, it’s clear the experience leading up to that point fell short of what you should expect from us.

My home loan team went above and beyond with trying to help me close at the perfect time, they worked for weeks on my loan and we were able to get everything done on time. I’m so thankful for my team
I would absolutely not recommend Veterans United as a lender. The loan officer severely lacked communication, the ability to explain the loan estimate/closing document, and was dishonest. I decided to go with another lender who clearly explained his loan estimate and what to expect moving forward with how my seller concessions could be applied. When withdrawing my application with Veterans United, the loan officer promised better communication and provided a lender credit and a significant decrease in closing costs. I decided to stay with Veterans United and what a mistake. The communication ended up being worse than before to the point where I didn't receive my final closing disclosure (after requesting multiple times) until the day before signing which reflected a significant increase in closings costs by thousands (classic bait and switch). The final closing document provided also ended up being incorrect and had to be adjusted and signing was pushed back due to this. The loan officer told me multiple times I couldn't use seller concessions (2.5%) toward the VA funding fee because I put too large of a down payment down (10%). This ended up being a lie and increased my loan amount by over $6,000 on top of the thousands in increased closing costs. The loan officer pretty much became non-responsive while I continued to question this and told me to pretty much "figure out" how much of the seller concessions was used in total. In doing this, I found out there were thousands left on the table in unapplied seller concessions. In the end, my escrow officer ended up helping me by contacting a closer and telling them how to apply my concessions so that I could fully use them since my loan officer refused to answer the phone after telling me via text while signing that he just heard back that I could use my concessions towards the VA funding fee but doing so would have to push my closing date. This is a Sr Loan Officer who has been doing this for over 10 years telling me he did not know this. This was a classic wait until the last minute (contractual closing date) to provide you necessary information.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Jordyn,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experience. I’m really sorry for the frustration, confusion, and stress you went through during your loan process.
From what you described, the lack of clear communication, difficulty getting timely and accurate information, and the last-minute changes to your closing disclosure created a situation where you felt unsupported and unsure at critical points. That’s not how this process should feel, especially when it comes to understanding your loan terms and how things like seller concessions are applied.
I also hear how concerning it was to receive different information throughout the process and to feel like you had to step in and figure things out on your own. You should be able to rely on your loan team to guide you clearly and consistently from start to finish.
Your feedback is important, and I’d really like the opportunity to review your file more closely and better understand what happened here. If you’re open to it, please reach out to me directly at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com so we can talk through this in more detail.
We’re available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, and we’ll follow up the next business day if you contact us after hours.

Absolutely amazing job by everyone! I can not complain about a single thing. Everything was smooth with no major hiccups. I will forever be grateful for the team and their knowledge and willingness to answer all of my questions.
Aaron Laxson and his team were awesome! I can't thank them enough for their attention to detail and customer service. Whenever we had a question, they answered in a timely manner. They were there to help us! We love this team!
Mike and his team were awesome. They worked with us over weekends, helped us navigate counter offers and even helped us close on our loan early when we found the perfect house. I could not recommend veterans united enough. They have made buying our first house an experience we will always look back on with love. Thank you veterans united.
The VU team was very helpful! I really enjoyed my time working with them.
I will 100% recommend Veterans United to any friend or family members.
