We have been truly blessed by the outstanding professionalism and determination of Jeff and Shan. They spent many hours, days and then months working on our loan. They showed us sincere love and concern for us while we traveled this journey. We had many unforeseen obstacles placed in our way and they never gave up on us. They worked tirelessly to help us obtain our dream of owning a home. They prayed for us while we waited to overcome our difficult circumstances. They gave us Hope during the times that we did not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Through it all, we have been grateful that God placed Jeff and Shan in our lives. May God continue using them both, to bless the lives of those they assist along the path of owning a home. We will forever be grateful to them for their sincerity and passion for what they do. Thank you for having such awesome people!!
Brian Nelson, Samantha Bowman, & Andrew Carter are the absolute best!! Please reward them for going above and beyond all expectations! They make you feel like you're their only concern and as if you're family! Greatest experience by far!

Experience first-hand why 377,428 homeowners give us a perfect score!
Instead of dealing with a realtor and loan officer, we had 5 different people calling which became very overwhelming really quick.
Lindsey and the entire VU team were supportive, responsive and amazing throughout our entire buying process - start to finish!
This was our first time buying a home, and of course, using the VA loan. We worked with Morgunn during the process and it was most definitely the best first time home buying experience I think anyone could have had. From the moment she got in touch with my wife and I she made everything super easy for us! She was always so friendly to talk to, and went above and beyond to get things done quick! She was able to answer any questions we had and made this, what could have been a long hard process, fast and a piece of cake! I know you always hear about bad experiences, but you best believe my wife and I will be talking very highly about this!
Overall, the loan process itself was relatively smooth and straightforward. Most steps were handled efficiently, and the application process was easy to navigate.However, our experience with the assigned loan coordinator, Samantha Villaire, was extremely frustrating and ultimately the most challenging part of the entire process. Communication was consistently lacking, with long periods of no response and little to no guidance when we had questions or needed clarification. This left us feeling uncertain and unsupported throughout much of the loan timeline.The lack of communication became especially concerning as we approached closing. From start to finish, we were never given a clear understanding of where we stood in the process, and we did not receive meaningful updates until the day before we were cleared to close.Fortunately, another loan officer, Emily Hunkins, stepped in during the final stage while our original loan officer was on vacation. Her responsiveness and willingness to help made a significant difference and ultimately helped us get across the finish line.While the overall loan process was manageable, the communication issues we experienced with the loan coordinator made what should have been a straightforward experience far more stressful than necessary.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Russell,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. I’m glad to hear parts of the loan process felt smooth and easy to navigate, but I’m really sorry for the frustration and uncertainty you experienced along the way.
Lack of communication, especially during something as important as buying a home, can make the process feel much more stressful than it should be. Not having clear updates or a sense of where things stand leading up to closing is understandably concerning, and I’m sorry that was your experience. I do appreciate you recognizing Emily for stepping in and helping at the finish line. That kind of support should be consistent throughout the entire process.
Your feedback is important, and I’d really like the opportunity to look more closely at what happened here. If you’re open to it, please reach out to me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com so we can talk through your experience.
We’re available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, and we’ll follow up the next business day if you reach out after hours.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Pleasant to deal with and easy process
The process was quick, easy, and painless. My loan officer walked me through every step and explained it to me, Barney style. She linked me with every service I would need, which made the process very easy. She helped me through everything that came up. I recommend 10/10!
I am profoundly grateful to Veterans United and especially to Tori Thomas for guiding me through the home loan process. Tori was outstanding—truly a standout professional who was always on top of every detail, ensuring I understood what needed to be done on my end and taking care of everything on hers. Her dedication and proactive communication made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Because of her, I always felt confident and well-supported. If anyone asked me about my experience, I would wholeheartedly recommend Veterans United, not just for their excellent service but for exceptional team members like Tori who make all the difference.
I had an excellent experience working with Matthew at Veterans United, my real estate agent Leanne, and the rest of the team including Tre and Abby. From start to finish, they made what can be a stressful and overwhelming process feel smooth, organized, and manageable.Matthew was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and patient. He took the time to explain every step of the lending process in a way that actually made sense, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout. He stayed on top of everything and made sure there were no surprises.Leanne was just as amazing. She was attentive, proactive, and truly had my best interest at heart. Whether it was scheduling showings, navigating negotiations, or making sure details didn’t slip through the cracks, she handled everything with professionalism and care. I never felt rushed or pressured, just supported.Tre and Abby were also a big part of keeping everything on track behind the scenes. Their communication, follow-up, and attention to detail helped keep the process moving forward without delays, which made a huge difference.Overall, this team worked seamlessly together. Communication was clear, timelines were met, and I always felt like I was in good hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth and well-supported homebuying experience.
Working with VU was a good experience from start to finish. Explained everything to my understanding, answered all my questions in a timely manner. Provided options up to the last minute. Thank you.
As first-time home buyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience than what we had with Veterans United and our loan officer, Matt E.
From day one, Matt and his team demonstrated exceptional knowledge and experience, taking the time to clearly explain every step of the process in a way that made us feel confident and informed. Their professionalism was evident in every interaction, and their communication was outstanding—always prompt, clear, and thorough.
What really stood out to us was how responsive and proactive they were. No question ever went unanswered, and they consistently stayed one step ahead, ensuring everything moved forward smoothly without delays or surprises. They made what could have been a stressful process feel incredibly easy and manageable.
From start to finish—and even after closing—the entire experience was seamless. We truly felt supported every step of the way.
We have already recommended Matt and the Veterans United team to several friends and family members, and we will absolutely continue to do so in the future. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and easy-to-work-with team, we highly recommend them.
The services you provide veterans should be recognized every single day. My wife and I can't express enough what a great experience it was working with Veterans United Home Loans. Each and every member of my home loan team made such a positive impact during this entire process, we couldn't have asked for more. From our coordinator, Molly Nelson who graciously appointed Felicia Murphy as our realtor to the especially talented home loan officer, Katie Tegerdine. They made the home loan process enjoyable, pain-free, and explained everything so easily even a salty sailor could understand!
Matt is great
Bryan was super professional and really cared for us.
Awesome job!!!
