Veterans United made so simple to upload documents through their app. I thought the process was going to be more complicated, but they communicate communicated with me very well. I spoke to them at least once a day. Everything was great.
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!!
I never dreamt it would be so easy to get through this process. The transparency of the process and timeliness of communication of what they needed is unparalleled.
Veterans United had our back every step of the process! Corey and his team did a phenomenal job with our home loan. They made the process as easy as possible and communicated every step of the way! They were always available if we had any questions and never made the conversation feel rushed. This wasn’t just business to them, it was personal.
The communication throughout our mortgage process was consistently poor, and our Loan Officer did not stay on top of critical details. Several times, he simply “forgot” to tell us important information—such as needing an additional $3,400 in “rainy day” funds beyond closing costs.We also had repairs required by the lender outside of the appraisal, which he failed to disclose until the last minute. This caused our closing to be delayed by almost a week. We traveled 600 miles (one way) to complete the initial repairs, and despite asking multiple times for a full list of what was needed, we never received one. After my husband returned home, we were told—just two days before closing—that additional painting was required.It took four days just to get a clear answer about what was needed for the loan to be funded. During that time, I had already wired the closing costs and signed all the closing documents. I had asked directly for wire instructions days earlier, yet I received a text later acting as if we had never discussed it. When I reminded him that we had, he blamed memory issues on PTSD.The entire team seemed disorganized and rarely on the same page. The process ended up costing us far more money than it should have, and the communication was extremely frustrating. Our Loan Officer always had an excuse, and during only our second conversation, he became aggressive and noticeably unstable.This home was meant for my daughter, and the experience was far more stressful than it needed to be.If you want to have a video and our story for your Facebook marketing, I am happy to share our journey.
Response from Veterans United
Hey Aubrey,
Thank you for taking the time to share everything that happened. I’m really sorry to hear how confusing and stressful this process was for you and your family. You should have had clear information, consistent communication, and a full picture of what was needed long before closing, and it’s upsetting to hear how many details were missed or shared at the last minute. Having repairs added unexpectedly, traveling such a long distance, and still not getting direct answers would have been incredibly frustrating for anyone.
It’s especially concerning to hear how long it took to get clarity about what was required for your loan to move forward, and how you felt caught in the middle after already wiring funds and signing documents. The back-and-forth, the delays, and the feeling that you couldn’t rely on the information you were given made an already meaningful purchase much harder than it needed to be. When this home was meant for your daughter, I can only imagine how much more personal and challenging that stress felt.
I’d really like the chance for my advocate team to look deeper into what happened and understand the full situation from your perspective. If you’re open to talking, please reach out to us at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com so we can go through your concerns together.
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!

Overall a great experience. Did not enjoy when I was passed off to a the Jack guy. Sense of arrogance and made me hate this process even more. When I asked questions, I was given the same instructions that were in the to do list word for word. Hope to never work with him again.
