Overall, I appreciate the work everyone did to help put me in my dream house. But the experience was far from 'great'.Communication was absolutely terrible. The first 2 weeks of the process, I called every single day and did not receive a call back until almost exactly 14 days from my first call attempt. This trend mostly continued until about 2 weeks from closing. It definitely got better towards to end (with Josh and Connor, anyways). Twice i requested a call from Eric and never received those calls period.The documentation requests coming in 3 days before close was inexcusable. Retrieving W2's from past employers is not a simple process, especially when on of the buyers works for the government. I understand mistakes happen, but we were in underwriting for almost 40 days, that was ample time for review. And when my realtor, the sellers realtor, and I expressed concerns about this, we were told 'it wasnt a big deal' then immediately after I was told closing may have to be pushed to the following week if we didnt get clear to close the following day (the DAY before closing). That was not an option as my family of 4 had no where to go if we weren't able to close on Friday.Overall, I do appreciate the work that went into this purchase, but the communication has to improve in the future for me to use or recommend VU again, as well as timely review and processing of documents. For what its worth, everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions when asked.
Response from Veterans United
Hi John,
Thank you for sharing such a detailed review, and I’m really glad we could help you get into your dream home. That said, I’m sorry the experience didn’t feel as smooth or supportive as it should have, especially when it came to communication.
Not receiving callbacks early on and having to follow up repeatedly would be incredibly frustrating. I also understand how stressful those last-minute document requests and the uncertainty around your closing timeline must have been, especially with your family depending on that date. You deserved clearer expectations and more proactive updates throughout the process.
I do appreciate you recognizing the efforts of Josh and Connor and the knowledge of the team, but it’s clear we fell short in consistency and timing, and that matters.
If you’re open to it, I’d really like to learn more about your experience and take a closer look at what happened. You can reach me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com so we can talk through everything together.
Our team is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, and we’ll follow up as soon as possible if you reach out outside those hours.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
I did not like that I found errors on the closing documents twice. I just do not believe that I should’ve had that burden. I found those and they were corrected immediately. I did like the ease of the uploads for documentation.
Everybody on this team was amazing. I was by my first house. I would call after I got off work would be cooking dinner and speaking to the team while asking dumb questions. Veterans United has been a delightful team. Thank you all for all you do.
Everyone I dealt with at VU treated me with respect and helped make the process so much less stressful than it might have been.
Veteran's United was so helpful with our entire move from the loan and insurance to the realtor and movers. Then once we were moved in we received a very cute package from Veteran's United for our cats and dogs. Thank you for caring!
I was very impressed with the team. They answered my every question and problem. Special shout out to Matt and Vince!

Second home purchase with Chris and his team and it was as seamless as the first. I’m retired now so this should be the last home purchase but would definitely come back to VU again.
Juliana, Tara, Katie, and Lliam were awesome and very helpful through out the entire process. They are all very responsive and willing to meet your needs!
God bless you all. Y’all never gave up from me. Y’all were very motivating and a great team to work with.
About month ago I was dreaming of buying a home for me and my wife. Veterans United Mr. Lance reached out to me and I closed on our new home March 20th was a dream come true for my wife and myself. I would highly recommend this fine group of people for anyone looking to buy a new home. I would like to say thank you to everyone at Veterans United.
Shelby and the team took care of us from day one through closing and beyond
The ONLY critique I have is not necessarily with Veterans United or Andy but the communication process from the title company.Andy, the day before my closing sent clear instructions that stated the amount I needed to bring to closing. The instructions stated I could bring a cashiers check or wire the money. I opted, since it was faster for me to do so, for a cashiers check. When I got to the title company to do the closing, they informed me that they did NOT accept cashiers checks. I had to do a bit of scrambling to get to my bank, stop the cashiers check and send money as a wire transfer.Up to that point, I could not have been happier with Andy, his team, and Veterans United.Thank you for a smooth process and making my home buying experience easy!

Steve, Rain and the team made my dream come true. They were efficient, organized, and professional to work with. Thank you!
My loan team were very helpful and made what could have been a very hectic process, simple and painless.
Stephanie was awesome, this was a rocky year plus long road and we got it done. She was quick with the paperwork admin stuff and polite and professional even when I was frustrated. Her team was great too. Kayla and Victoria both checked in frequently and were responsive. Kudos to this team. Yall, got a solid work ethic. Thanks.
very impressed 👏
