Tim Alvis is an excellent loan executive for Veterans United. Tim was proactive, responsive, an effective communicator and very personable. He was extremely helpful in assisting me navigate the loan application process and understand the critical steps in loan approval requirements. I would certainly recommend Tim as a loan manager for any applicants going through the VA loan program.

Nick made me feel so safe going through this process. I have trust issues and I can be pretty pessimistic about things, but Nick was wonderful in explaining everything to me, giving me updates on the process at every stage. He really listened to my concerns and focused on allaying them. He was also very proactive preemptive, bringing up questions that I had but hadn’t been able to formulate and verbalize yet. He was kind and approachable without being the overly enthusiastic, over bearing “salesman” type. I could let my guard down.

Photo submission from Rico R.

We were in dire straights, our home had mold and I am disabled from Iraq. We turned to an internet search and we found Veteran's United. We went from a hotel to air bnb, but the team was there with us throughout the wait. Their kind words kept me sane, and my mind at ease. They never said we can't or anything negative to us. Sometimes I thought they were Superheroes. I will sing their praises, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to all my Veteran friends, and once again for me and my wife Katrina, and daughter Peyton thanks for our GREAT home and new lease on life.

They were great people to work with. Always quick to respond and usually could answer any questions I had as they came up through the process. I also liked that they had a no B.S. approach to everything and was straight forward and transparent through to the end.

Kapil was amazing. He made everything so seamless for me. He also was always there for my 900 questions that I had. He always had an answer and was always prepared for my next one. I would absolutely choose Kapil over and over again for this process & will definitely recommend him to my friends when they become more prepared to buy houses.

Mr. Dapkus's team consists of very helpful and hardworking loan specialists, namely Lindsay Doty, Jessica Erb, and Kyle McCune. I hope to have these individuals work with me in the future.

In the beginning it was nice. But then we had a whole “team” jumping in and out communicating different things and it seemed like they were not communicating amongst themselves well. We got handed off to a new agent towards the end of our home buying and I ended up reaching out to her on multiple occasions to answer her questions which she would then reiterate in an email or a text whether that be a day or two later like we never talked or immediately after our phone call. After her we got handed back to our first agent who changed our closing estimate the day before closing which resulted in me driving over an hour away to our bank and then an hour back whilst trying to make it before the law office closed. Which I now know that they had to sign off on that amount well prior to the closing date and just neglected to properly inform me.

Response from Veterans United

Hi Madison,

Thank you for sharing this. I’m glad things started off on a positive note, but I’m really sorry for how frustrating the rest of the experience became. Being passed between multiple team members and receiving inconsistent communication can make the process feel disorganized and stressful.

I can understand how frustrating it must have been to repeat information and then see it not reflected or followed through. On top of that, having your closing estimate change the day before closing and needing to make a last-minute trip like that is a significant inconvenience. You should have had clear, timely information well before that point.

This isn’t the level of coordination or communication you should expect, and I appreciate you bringing it to our attention. I’d really like the opportunity to look into what happened and better understand your experience.

If you’re open to it, please reach out to me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. 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 contact us after hours.

Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
