When we were able to talk or communicate with anyone from our team it was helpful. It was hard to get answers to our questions the same day. It always took multiple days to get in touch at the beginning.
This is my second time using VU. The first experience was great. It was smooth, went like clockwork, and didn't require a lot of back-and-forth between me and VU. This second time was awful. At one point I wish I had chosen another lender. Stuff was wrong, required multiple times, things that should have been requested sooner were not. It was only at the 11th hour and on the day of closing that I got final approval. This was a very STRESSFUL process the 2nd time and really left a very SOUR taste in my mouth about the overall experience. Because It was my second time, I knew it could have all been handled better - but it wasn't. Would I recommend? Yes, but with reservations and caution!
Response from Veterans United
Hi Peter,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. I'm glad your first experience with Veterans United was such a positive one, but I'm sorry your second homebuying experience didn't live up to those expectations. I understand how frustrating and stressful it must have been to deal with repeated requests, last-minute approvals, and uncertainty leading up to closing.
We appreciate you giving us another opportunity to earn your business, and I'm sorry we fell short this time. Your feedback is important, and I'd appreciate the chance to learn more about your experience and see where we can improve.
If you're willing, please reach out to me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. The Client Advocate team is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time. If you contact us outside those hours, we'll typically respond the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Eric and Lisa exceeded expectations. They made sure the process went smooth and made our closing date on time even after we ran into some delays from outside factors ( septic inspector and
Working with Veterans United has been the most rewarding and satisfying process imaginable. Everything was super smooth and the service was absolutely outstanding, working with Taylor Fruits has been my favorite experience to date. She went above and beyond her duties to ensure we knew the ins and outs of the whole process. Home buying, which can be the most stressful ordeal, has never been easier. I can’t say enough good about working with Taylor Fruits!
Kendall and his team were nothing short of outstanding. He was professional, responsive, answered or resolved things quickly and his team was the same. We changed courses several times throughout the process switching from VA to conventional and from one borrower to two at the last minute. He had no problem and came through with needed documentation immediately.
It was my first time purchasing a home and I had no clue where to start or what all the paperwork was about. But everyone I spoke to was patient with me and explained everything step by step.
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!

My wife and I are first time home buyers, and the Veterans United team made the process much simpler for us. I can't recommend their service enough. Thanks again Veterans United team!
Shawn did great! Highly communicative, perfect attention to detail every step of the way!
Our Veterans United team was excellent. They kept us up to date every step of the way. When things got too difficult for us to handle on our own, our coordinator, Ashley R., went out of her way to coordinate between our financial planner, insurance agent, and closing lawyer. Our loan officer, Billy C., and the rest of the team were there to answer our numerous questions. Thank you all for making this process a bit more palatable! Definitely five star service.
Chris B is awesome

Great job too all, thank you
Everyone here went above and beyond. Thank you all so much.
Jessica Galvan / Joseph Onello was supportive from the beginning to the end of the process! They really made everything transparent, and would greatly recommend them as a team to others!
The whole experience of buying a house was a complete pleasure and couldn't have gone more smoothly. Dan and the entire team were there for us every step of the way and I'm proud and happy to say, thank you for an excellent job done flawlessly with the spotlight on the veteran, throughout.
Mckensie did a great job and was very helpful!
