Working with Veterans United was an excellent experience from start to finish. They are knowledgeable, professional, and truly understand the unique needs for veterans using the VA home loan guarantee. They made the process smooth and kept me informed every step of the way. Bennett and his team were always there to answer my questions. I highly recommend them to any veteran looking for a trustworthy and dependable lender!
The buying process is smooth and simple. Biggest issues that arise are not from VU at all, but the requirements made for home buying. Still not a big issue if the seller is willing to work with the Veteran buyer. My biggest complaint is the phone system itself. Getting to a rep is hard enough, but it does seem that there is an issue with coherence across the board for the techs. It took almost a full year of working with at least 12 different people to get my mortgage back on track from missing one payment and cost hundreds of dollars in fees that I was mandated to pay, which should not have fallen on me as I did my best to work with the program but it was never followed through with.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Richard,
I appreciate you sharing both sides of your experience. It’s encouraging to hear the buying process felt smooth overall, and I’m grateful you pointed that out. At the same time, what you described afterward sounds incredibly frustrating.
Trying to get your mortgage back on track after one missed payment should not feel like a year-long uphill battle. Speaking with multiple representatives, struggling to reach someone through the phone system, and feeling like follow-through did not happen would wear on anyone. I can understand how the added fees would only make that situation more upsetting.
I would really like the opportunity to review your servicing experience in detail and better understand what happened. Please reach out to me directly at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We’re available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, and we’ll respond the next business day if you contact us after hours. I’d value the chance to look into this personally.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Stephanie and her team have been fantastic and easy to work with. They take care of everything.
Very proactive. Competitive rates.
Our experience was not what we had hoped for. Our loan officer was great though and did what he could to keep us in the loop and explain why it took so much longer than it should have. Disappointed in the process but glad its done.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Matthew,
Thank you for sharing this. I’m glad to hear your loan officer helped keep things moving and made sure you were in the loop, but I’m sorry the process as a whole didn’t feel smoother for you. When things take longer than expected, it can take away from what should be an exciting moment, and I hate that this left you feeling disappointed even though you’re relieved to have it behind you.
If you’d be open to it, I’d like to take a closer look at your experience so I can understand what caused the delays and make sure your concerns are fully heard. You can reach me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. My team is here from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and we’ll get back to you the next business day if you reach out after hours.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Timing could have been quicker, but things went great
NOT TO BAD TO DEAL WITH BUT MANY THINGS TO DO ARE NOT PRESENTED TO YOU AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROCESS. SEEMED LIKE YOU THINK YOU ARE DONE WITH PAPER WORK THEN MORE STUFF SHOWS UP.
The process was very easy. I was kept well informed and every question I had was promptly answered.
The entire team was great! Made the process very smooth and were able to explain everything in an easy to understand way.
There's no worries with these folks, just let them go to work and you know everything is done in time and accurate!
AJ and Austin are both absolutely outstanding. They are both so easy to work with, great with communication, compassionate and overall just wonderful people. I highly recommend them, I can't say enough about how thrilled we are to have worked with them to refinance our home! Anyone who is looking to refinance or purchase a home with a VA loan, Veteran's United is hands-down the best place to go through.
I would recommend Veterans United Home Loans!
