The loan process was very confusing. What was the most frustrating part for me was your loan officer insisting that my debt be paid off through escrow. I wanted to pay it off immediately but not allowed. This cost me more than a month's interest charges on my substantial debt and then I find out that escrow doesn't payoff these debts electronically and uses paper checks! This adds at a minimum another week of interest charges! Escrow closed 5 days ago, and my debt still hasn't been paid. Also of consequence is the fact that my credit score will not be upgraded for another month! B>S>!
Response from Veterans United
Hi Albert,
I’m sorry the loan process left you feeling confused and frustrated. I can understand why being required to handle your debt payoff differently than you expected, and then waiting for those payments to be processed after closing, would be concerning. You deserved clear communication about the process, including what to expect with the timing of those payments.
I’d like the opportunity to review your experience more closely and better understand what happened. Please reach out to me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com so we can discuss your concerns privately.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
The team made it a very simple and efficient process. I would recommend Veterans United to anyone that is retiring, transferring or simply just upgrading their home. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!
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.
I honestly was really disappointed. Poor communication, poor customer service, always waiting till the last minute to request additional information, in gerneral not knowing the specifics of my loan before calling or sending emails. Needless phone calls in the middle of the work day. 1st house deal fell through after a lot of fumbles and we still received a "Welcome to your New Home" gift. Made my wife really upset and in general was a really dumb mistake on their part. Just because it says veterans doesn't mean its the best place for veterans. Pick another company if you prefer not having additional stress with your home buying experience. All in all I still got a home, but it was mostly on the shoulders of my realtor.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Dylan,
I’m sorry your homebuying experience left you feeling this disappointed. Clear, timely communication is especially important during an already stressful process, and I can understand your frustration with repeated requests for information, unexpected calls, and feeling like your loan details weren’t always understood before you were contacted.
I’m also sorry about the welcome-home gift arriving after your first home purchase fell through. I can understand how upsetting and discouraging that must have been for you and your wife, especially after everything you had already experienced.
I appreciate you sharing this feedback, and I’d like the opportunity to better understand what happened throughout your loan process. Please reach out to me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
This crew was excellent to work with. They kept me informed throughout the entire process. Thanks so much.
We have used Veterans United to buy more than one home and they are excellent. You can count on them to get the job done. Thanks again Denise
They were truthful, polite and got the job done!
It was my loan officer who made the experience easy and fun
Our team at Veterans United made purchasing our first home smooth and straightforward! The support, communication, and customer service exceeded our expectations! Thank you Veterans United!!
Jen Huppert was outstanding from the onset from first making contact with her. She was very professional, honest and sincere. She kept us informed and with realistic expectations all the way through the process. We appreciate her very much and the work she put in, in helping us reach our goal. We would definitely recommend her to any potential homebuyers we know.
Veterans United makes the home buying process so simplified. I was able to go throughout the whole process without a real estate agent because of how helpful they were. Jon McCarty and Kyle Black were my main points of contact and are true professionals at what they do!
Absolutely love my new place, and Veterans United was very helpful with handling things and getting us in. If I could change one thing... better communication between everyone involved.

The team that I had was very thorough and ensured I had full understanding of every step along the way.
Rob and his team was very helpful and responsive, they made my first time home buying process very quick and easy. They answered all my questions and were very knowledgeable. 10/10 I would highly recommend.
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!

I started my home buying experience with a different lender and it was a nightmare..Jordan and his team came in and absolutely bent over backwards to help us, and just over a month got me cleared, approved and closed on our forever home.
