I’m euphoric over the whole process and enjoyed working with Kenny and Matthew immensely they were awesome.
This process started out is only a dream. I made a simple phone call from a Google search and ended up with Veterans United, Alberto and his team. What a God send. It is amazing and I am astounded at how smooth they really make the process. Along every single step they knew exactly what they were doing. The smallest of details were taken care of by their team. Veterans have enough to deal with with many returning from war, deployment, and time away from their families. It’s comforting to know that there’s a company out there that looks out for their well-being. Unfortunately, 10 is the highest grade you can grade someone on their scale, in our opinion, they deserve a much higher score. They took a dream and turned it into a reality, and for that we will be forever grateful. I could not recommend this team higher. Thank you Alberto, and your entire staff for not only making us feel like family, but taking our dream and turning it into a reality. God bless you.
I was very pleased with how my VU team operated from opening to closing and in getting us to our dream house. 5 stars all the way. Knocked it out the ballpark.
Mike and his staff were great to work with. Very smooth loan process and closing as well.
I’ve never bought or owned a house before but thankfully the process was simplified and definitely easy thanks to Veterans United. Any and all questions were answered by everyone involved whether it be with insurance, inspections, and moving.
Kyle did an amazing job walking me through everything I needed to help the mortgage process go smoothly!
I have used this mortgage broker before. The first time it was a dream and I truly enjoyed my experience. The second time, however, was a complete headache and very stressful situation. I understand the issues come up during buying a house, totally understandable. It was extremely difficult though to get answers or even get a response in general in a timely manner. If I did get a response, it was rather vague or didn’t completely answer the question. One time an issue almost delayed my closing, it was a problem with my homeowners insurance and the roof. I could not get a clear answer on what needs to be done in order to handle the situation. Finally my Realtor had to step in and push very hard to finally get the answer that it was a mistake and they will fix it. This was two days before closing, and I was scared. I was going to not be able to close on my house. Once again, I totally understand that things need handled, and that things come up, it is the lack of response in the lack of clarity that was frustrating. My Realtor told me that she had prior experience with veterans unit and it was not good, but I assured her I had a great experience the first time. I am starting to understand now what she was saying when she told me this. I enjoyed working with Rich and he was pleasant to talk to, but his team was difficult to reach and work with. I even had issues after closing with funds being dispersed properly that I still had to send several emails to even start to get an answer That makes sense. Once again, it was an error, and I was given a credit, thankfully. I appreciate that, but I was still very stressed out in my insurance agent, very upset that she was not given the funds on time as stated previously several times by her. I am hoping that this error does not cause a lapse in coverage when this mistake had nothing to do with me. I’m only worried that if I did not get involved and start messaging different people that it would not have been handled.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Seth,
I really appreciate you giving us another opportunity after having such a positive first experience, and I’m sorry this time left you feeling so differently. You’re right that unexpected issues can come up during a home purchase, but getting clear and timely communication when they do is incredibly important.
It sounds like the uncertainty surrounding your insurance and closing, followed by additional concerns after closing, caused a lot of unnecessary stress. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed working with Rich, but I’m sorry the communication throughout the rest of the process didn’t meet the expectations your first experience had set.
I’d like to learn more about what happened and make sure your concerns are heard. Please reach out to me and the Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
We’re available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and messages received outside those hours are typically answered the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Veterans United helped me find a place I can finally call HOME!
Buying my first home was definitely an experience and, more than anything, a major learning process. There were times when I became frustrated and honestly considered walking away from the process, primarily because there were things I simply did not understand as a first-time buyer.What I appreciated was that my lender continued working with me and my realtor to resolve the different issues that came up along the way. The process was much longer and more complicated than I expected, but in the end, I gained knowledge that I can now share with other veterans who may be going through the home-buying process for the first time.I give the lender and the overall experience a 9 out of 10. There is always room for improvement, but I am thankful for the effort, communication, and teamwork that ultimately helped me become a homeowner.
I really appreciate Amanda and my whole team there at Veterans United. Would not hesitate to refer and recommend Veterans United for home loans. Amanda Rapp was amazing and handled everything professionally and diligently. She is an asset to your company.
Amanda and Dylan were so great. My process was easy and straightforward. Amanda is so friendly and nice and even though we closed on our house, we will still be in touch.
Ready to see for yourself?
Experience first-hand why 380,968 homeowners give us a perfect score!
Did not close on the Date it was to be recorded. Ended up costing more on our Move in.
This has been an exceptional experience. From the first contact to the closing, it has been great.
Hey Christian and Sara.
I can't begin to thank you and your team for the exceptional professionalism displayed during the process of purchasing my home. You kept me informed and explained everything without exhaustion. You and your team should be commended for all you do and for going the extra mile to assure it's done with perfection. Man, on behalf of my family, we thank you all!!Secondly, we were overly excited and surprised with the gift we received in the mail. It was spot on! You personalized it like you knew everyone in the family to include my baby boy, who happens to love Gracie's Corner. Don't know how you knew, but great, job team! We really appreciated the gift. I will always recommend Veterans United.Again, we can't thank all of you enough!Much love,
Alfonzo Livingston, M. ED.
Lisa Durand was amazing! So attentive to our questions and helpful throughout the home buying journey
The entire team from VU, Tyler Dunn, Jens Foreman, Vickie Bell and of course the true professional that made this whole process as painless as she could possibly make it, our real estate agent Lora Rousseau who found our perfect home for us! We owe a debt of gratitude to this amazing team of professionals for getting us into our home in an incredibly short period of time. Thank you, VU Team! Your services come highly recommended by us!
It was easy getting the information to the loan agents. We had to reschedule twice and they were very accommodating.
I really appreciate the whole team. They helped me through every step of the way and I'm grateful
Kai and his team were great! It was awesome having someone on-island.
