Julie was very helpful through the whole process. She was quick to respond to my questions and was a great guide through all of it.
OK, so, I have always preferred renting for the convenience, but then about a year ago I was somehow inspired to buy a home, if I could find the right now. I h ad stumbled onto VU and had contacted them with my interest in doing a VA loan, which would be my first. My best friend "sister" and I spent months trying to find one close to her house, (My mom has dementia and I am her caregiver and my friend and her family have helped me care for her and she has become part of their family) Unfortunately, they were all high priced and still a bit away distance-wise, so we kind of tabled it for another time. For anyone who doesn't think prayer works, they might want to recheck that! A mutual friend of ours owned a house literally across the street, and one day she told us that she and her husband were going to move back to TX and they decided to finally sell the house. Once my friend told her about me wanting it, she didn't even list it, instead doing a FSBO, which took out the middle man. I contacted Alec and crew to tell him I had finally found a house and he was so excited for me! He literally took care of everything and brought in Elizabeth and Blake to hold my hand through the process, which took less than a month! When they said they were going to do something, they did it and with high quality caring. They found a title company locally that also was awesome with very helpful and attentive people. They even had gotten a beautiful sign made for my craft room! It was one of the very few times in my life that I have done business with an organization/company where it was obvious these people had answered a calling to do this and genuinely loved it. They are an example of what customer care (aka service) is supposed to be like. I've been an RN for over 30 years, and a psychotherapist for over 7 years, so I know first hand the importance of making sure my clients feel taken care of. I have their phone numbers starred in my contact list, and whenever I meet a fellow Veteran wanting to purchase, Veterans United will be THE first company, and they will be the first names I give out. Somebody, please give these folks a raise, or at least a nice Christmas bonus!
Thanks for everything and Merry Christmas!

If there was a higher rating number than 10 for the overall rating, I would have placed it. Everyone did great.
Thank you 🙏 so much.

Josh Kittle was the most unprofessional individual I have ever had to deal with. After dropping the ball on several occasions, and me calling him out on it, he tried to blame me for not being in contact with him for two weeks, which was not true and it turned out he was on vacation. He even had the nerve to call me dishonest for not including certain information that i didn't know needed to be included and told me that if I had a problem to take it up with my congressman. It was only when I submitted a complaint on him (which i still haven't heard back from anyone about) that things started to somewhat move forward. Bailey Daniel, another loan coordinator, then began to work with my and as hard as she tried, she was not much help either. The worst part about the situation is even though I put a complaint in on Josh Kittle and stated I did not want to work with him, they continued to have him over my transaction. I live in Alaska, and I spent money and time purchasing a ticket and on a hotel, so that I could be present for my closing and to pick up my keys for my home. My realtor also filed several extensions because veterans united kept coming back with requests that should have been done with an original request. (Example: they asked for tax returns and then turned around last minute to ask me for tax transcripts) simple things like that, could have sped up the process but apparently they didn't know or care about doing their jobs. Due to things like that, as well as them not submitting my paperwork on time and continuously waiting until the last possible minute to request things and sending documents up, I ran out of time and was only able to sign the documents. I was in town for 10 days, and during that time, absolutely nothing was accomplished. They didn't plan for the federal holiday and chose to wait until during the holiday to send the closing documents to the title company. The lady at the title company was gracious enough to come in on a day when their office wasn't even open to try and get everything fixed. If that wouldn't have happened then i would have had to handle everything by mail and being from Alaska, this would have delayed the process another 7 to 10 days. With all that, I still could not close on my home because I had to fly out that Monday right after i signed my documents, and the documents then had to be mailed out for the seller to sign. It was a complete disaster. I was not able to pick my keys up and my best friend had to pick them up for me the following Wed. This is my first purchase and I was excited but after wasting time and money, not to mention being dismissed on several occasions by veterans united loan coordinator, I will never use you again to purchase anything. Not even a stick of gum. The only reason i continued to use veterans united was because so many others put so much work into getting me into that home and i also had invested so much time and effort trying to make this happen. Not to mention by starting over, I would have lost the almost $2000 is spent on my inspection and appraisal and the home would have gone back on the market. My realtor will also never work with anyone who is using veterans united and i will 100% recommend to anyone i ever speak to about buying a home, that they use ANYONE but veterans united. If i could give you a real rating, it would be a -10.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Michael,
I'm truly sorry to hear how your first homebuying experience unfolded. This should have been an exciting milestone, but instead it sounds like you were left carrying the weight of repeated delays, unexpected obstacles, and interactions that made you feel dismissed rather than supported. I can understand why you'd walk away feeling so disappointed.
It's especially discouraging to hear that after raising concerns during the process, you didn't feel they were acknowledged in a meaningful way. No one should feel like they have to fight to be heard while navigating something as important as purchasing a home, and I'm sorry that your experience left you without the confidence and support you expected from us.
I also hate to hear that the challenges throughout your loan process affected your travel plans, closing experience, and what should have been the moment you finally received the keys to your new home. Those are memories that should be positive, and it's disappointing to know yours were overshadowed by so much frustration.
I'd appreciate the opportunity to review your experience and better understand everything that occurred, including the concerns you previously reported. If you're open to talking, you can reach me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
