Eric did a great job coordinating the entire effort from the start. Once it was passed to the underwriting/load coordination team the wheels fell off.There was a lack of clear communication. Information was provided and uploaded multiple times via email and their internal document system. Emails were clearly and obviously missed by the loan coordination team.I had to take the reins several times because there was a lack of clear communication and explanation on several issues. Several issues were fixed in the 11th hour due to a lack of communication and a lack of processing emailed/uploaded items that had been requested.Fortunately everything worked out in the end. The entire experience was, however, FAR more stressful than it had any reasonable expectation to be. We literally were worried we would lose the house and the contract 2 days before closing, and nobody from the loan coordination team had even responded to our queries on status updates 5 days before close.It very much seemed like the VU team was so heavily reliant on people taking their sweet time to choose a house that they just had no idea what to do in order to actually close in 30 days, despite my asking over and over.Happy we got the house, but VU should focus FAR less on technology integration and instead focus on understanding methods of solving problems, paying attention to direct emails with requested documents, and actually communicating with customers.
The team was cooperative, kind, and I felt supported throughout the process
Andrew and the team did an amazing job. Helped me with getting my one home on the market and closing on another in a different state. Thankyou for the quick closing.
Great communication, timely responses
I think I have already covered everything in my two other comments, but, suffice to say, I am very satisfied with my experience.
Heidi and Brian were absolutely exceptional throughout our mortgage process. Their communication was fantastic from start to finish, and they always took the time to listen to our needs and answer any questions we had. Buying a home can be very stressful, but they made the process feel much more manageable with their guidance and support.
They were honest, upfront, and kept everything moving efficiently every step of the way. We were working on a very tight timeline, and they went above and beyond to make it happen — even getting us to closing a day early! Their hard work, professionalism, and dedication truly made all the difference for our family.
We are incredibly grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend Heidi and Brian to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive mortgage team.
Thanks to Celina Mowrey and Jordan Webber for their outstanding help.
Very easy to deal with. Stayed in touch through whole process.
Everyone in this office is amazing! I have used them twice, and would use them again! Kala and Marty are very helpful, and will do anything and everything to help with the process!
We have worked with Eric and his team several times over the last decade. He and his team answer questions and walk you through the process. He takes time to listen and creates an atmosphere of trust. Highly recommended!
As painless as it gets for a Re-Fi, I don't even think I had to send any updated docs. All my debt is paid off and my monthly cash flow will increase significantly. Jason and Tiffany are an A+ Mortgage team, thanks again Jason and Tiffany!
Tom and his team are a godsend. Every step along the way they were there for me. Explained to me why certain documents were needed and the lending process in its entirety. Would definitely recommend tom and his team without a second thought
The whole process was very easy on my part. I was guided each step along the way and was always updated and informed about the current/next step on the process. The app makes it very easy to upload required documents. Very satisfied with the level of care and concern that was shown by both Lynn and Tim. They were fantastic in every way!
Very difficult case. They stuck with us.
Thank you Veterans United. You guys have the greatest team. This home purchase was my second with you guys and both times it was the best!! I highly recommend Veterans United!!

Experience first-hand why 375,965 homeowners give us a perfect score!
So I couldn’t have asked for a better loan team then Terri Behrens and Jackie Cox. By far outstanding during the whole process. Terri was able to answer any and all questions I had while making the whole thing super painless and stress free. Even more so since I am in the Navy and stationed overseas at the time during the home buying process. She worked with me and hooked me up with the perfect realtor and got me in a home for my return stateside. If I could give a higher rating then 10 I would. Already recommend them to my friends, and will definitely use them in the future.
Ryan was great
My second time using Bryant and his team for a home purchase. Amazing service, quick and painless process. An absolute pleasure to work with this team.
Brian Poterbin, Kate Keating, and the entire VUHL team were exceptional throughout the entire home loan process. Every team member provided prompt, professional, and outstanding customer service from start to finish. They consistently went above and beyond to keep me informed, answer my questions, and make sure I felt supported every step of the way.This was by far the best home-buying experience I’ve ever had. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better team, and if I could give a higher rating, I absolutely would.
Veterans United made things easy and with open communication. Jon and Kyle were always there to answer any and all of our questions. This is our second home with Veterans United, and I can not imagine any other way of buying a home and will recommend anyone to use Veterans United.
We had an extremely stressful, disorganized, and untimely experience with Veterans United. My client said they would never use them again after our experience. We had an 11 day delay on closing because of items that should have come up previously but waited to be brought up until the week before closing. Terrible communication and response.
Response from Veterans United
Hey Timothy,
I’m really sorry to hear how stressful and frustrating this experience was for both you and your client. Delays so close to closing, especially when concerns feel like they should have been addressed much earlier in the process, can create a lot of unnecessary stress and uncertainty. I can understand why the lack of communication and responsiveness left such a negative impression.
We know how important it is to keep everyone informed throughout the homebuying process, including agents and borrowers, and I’m sorry that didn’t happen here. An 11-day closing delay is significant, and it’s understandable that your client walked away feeling disappointed after the experience.
I’d appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened and share your feedback with the appropriate teams. If you’re open to it, please reach out to me directly 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, and if you contact us outside those hours, we’ll typically respond the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
