You guys were so great I’ve already given my friend, Jeff West your number. Thanks
Overall, our process and interaction with Jeff was amazing but I will leave some constructive criticism as well. I am not sure if Christie is Jeff's assistant or what position she holds, but we definitely preferred working with Jeff. She was quite confusing to us throughout the process and had limited/poor communication with Wade directly when he was the one needing to submit documents. It also seemed that after a specific point in the process that Jeff handed our journey over to her without communication of that, but he did step in during group text chats when he could sense our frustration with misunderstandings with Christie. Thank you for your help, we love our new home.
Jerry Simons was amazingly responsive. He was available for any questions or concerns no matter the time or day! Great experience, great professional!
Marty Gaddie and his team are more than exception to work with. I have purchased 3 different homes with Veterans United, each experience was a smooth and organized process. I appreciate their readiness and attention to detail.
The market we purchased in is on the smaller end where realtors prefer to work with local banks, but our realtor admitted that working with Veterans United was smoother than any local bank.
Exceptional service Fahad and his whole team 100☆ the whole way. Thanks again Fahad and the whole team.
Seamless, positive experience from start to finish… Thanks so much!!!
These guys and gals know their job skills. They use their knowledge of homebuying to help make it so easy buying and understanding the whole process.
Well, This is my second home purchase in a different state with a different loan company with the same rules and regulations for the United States Veterans Affairs Department. I recently just purchased a new home, new build in a new community, and new state which is North Carolina. From the start with the builders (Smith and Douglass) were very difficult and discouraging because I didn't choose their lender. So the builders decided to give me a hard time so I immediately reached out to my loan Specialist Ty Reece and initially he gave assurances that we would have a better finish. Well that didn't happen. Through out my process no matter what questions that needed to be answered I answered as soon as it was asked of me to ensure that I have a smooth transition. Now I was given a couple of closing dates and a few snags along the way. I tried to give Veterans United as much time to get out in front of any delays. When different events occurred and I didn't understand or had questions about something, I reached out to Ty Reece my loan Specialist I called and got sent to voicemail, then I started emailing them until someone other than him responded with out the answer to my questions. I then had to get my agent involved until they stop returning her calls as well. I was able to get all the way to one day before what I thought was my closing date however, instead I got a message from the builders to say that I was not closing. Veterans United was supposed to have conveyed with me that I would not be closing at least 3 days prior because the underwriter had yet a question a day. The whole team knew that the underwriter was not satisfied with closing my loan a week prior however no one thought that I should know or given the opportunity to at least clear up whatever was not satisfied. Now my closing was slotted for December 30,2021 at 11am. I didn't find out until 2PM on December 29,2021 that I was not closing because a legal document hadn't been signed 3 days before you can close. Now I had already paid for things to be delivered to the new house on December 31,2021and made plans to go on a vacation with my family for a week that was paid for a year ago for January 3,2022- January 10,2022. As well as vacation planed from my job already in place. Now it's late in the 4pm era and I'm just getting an email from Veteran United stating that we don't have a clear to close from the underwriter and they don't know when I would get that clear to close. Veterans United had sworn up and down that the builders wasn't giving the cooperation so it was at a lock until the cooperation was given. Veterans United communication was dry and sounded confrontational and the other company gave them what they asked for however Veterans United didn't give an example or breakdown of what they were asking for step by step, and I know this because Veterans United asked me for the same thing multiple times and I have given it to them and instead of saying that that it wasn't what they were looking for they instead held my loan process out. So again I called, no answer went straight to voicemail, so I sent an email to my loan Specialist Ty Reece to let him know that their communication was poor and left me with alot of anxiety and stress. Veterans United ability to communicate almost had me in a breach of contract of $415,000 loan with the house that I thought I could be excited about. This was horrible for me and in the 11th hour and I mean this literally my loan Specialist Ty Reece came in and got a rush on my package because of his great rapport with the underwriter and got me to closing in less than 24 hours. Now I said all of that to say if communication was better this could have all been avoided. I truly lost time emotional, mental and financial stress which
was bestowed upon me for something that was achieved in less than 24 hours. I say Veterans United has done a disservice to me being a veteran myself. I would still recommend Veterans United in hopes that someone would read my post and get out in front of this obstacle and have a better experience than I did.

Great Veteran experience!
This was my 2nd time using Veterans United to purchase a house. From the very beginning until the very end Danny and his team were with me every step of the way. They were always available to talk, answer questions, or anything else that I needed. The process was not always easy, but Veterans United go out of their way to make it as easy and as simple as possible. I would recommend VU and Danny Freeman to anyone without hesitation.

I would recommend working with Veterans United. This was the easiest loan process for a home I have ever dealt with. Their team of people seem to care about the homebuyer and their experience. They were all extremely easy to work with and made the process as painless as possible.
I’m not a fan of “online services”. I like face to face interactions and I like physically sitting down with someone to get the job done. Even tho this was mainly online, I felt like at anytime I could call and get through to a real person who would walk me through the steps. The “to do list” on the home page is an incredible tool cause it makes each step simple and understandable
