Listen. If you are serious about owning a home, Veterans United is definitely a preferred option, in my opinion. The steps it took to purchasing our home was frustrating to say the least. In my wife and I case, we were purchasing from our landlord, so a realtor wasn't necessary. However, gathering the necessary documents, coordinating with the different agencies like appraisals, home inspections, insurance, title company, and loads of paperwork, signatures, and questions are still very much a part of the process. Our team, Nick Holman, Courtney Gully, Francie Greene, and the rest of their supporting members were there from the first phone until the closing on our home. They fielded every question, listened to all of our frustration, guided us through the whole process step by step, and we're encouraging, patient, professional, and, most of all, very polite, friendly, and engaging whenever we were in contact with them. I mean they kept in touch by phone, text, and email. Even sent us mail. Who does that in this technology age? Seriously, they were the best team my wife and I could ask for in communicating with us and our landlord to make this dream a reality!! I highly recommend Veterans United to anyone who’s reading this review, or anyone who asks is this company for real. To our team, Nick Holman, Courney Gully, Francie Greene, and their supporting team members, thank you for everything! We can't say thank you enough. My wife, Valencia Long, and I now own our home!!!
House feels like it is a lemon, confused on how it passed inspection. Water main seal broken, ac unit broken, multiple doors missing completely from the home as well as 4 taken off hinges. Home buying process also did not go well. Realtor would never answer phone and still doesn’t. Closing costs changed 5 times, with 3 of those being within 7 days of closing. On top of that to have to pay over $2000 in repair costs as soon as I move in is absolutely not ok. We feel let down. Also went over the amount that we said we felt comfortable with monthly but at that point less than a week from closing we felt that we had no other option as we absolutely required housing being that we already on the way there and had no other options at that point. We jumped through every hoop we were asked to jump through however we do not feel the same about the due diligence of our house being looked into. On top of all the issues of the house mechanically the house was absolutely disgusting and filthy when we moved in as well which was another let down. Massive balls of hairs in drains, blood stains in the shower, dirt and dust everywhere etc etc. I was super excited to buy my first home with me being the main buyer but I feel taken advantage of and like we’ve been left in the dust now and now all these problems that clearly existed before we bought the house are just now OUR problems and that is very frustrating and saddening.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Christopher,
I’m truly sorry to hear how your first homebuying experience turned out. I can only imagine how disheartening it is to be so excited about your first home, only to face mechanical issues, unexpected repair costs, and a home that wasn’t move-in ready. That’s not the experience we want for anyone, and I understand why you feel let down.
I also hear your concerns about the changes to closing costs and the monthly payment you felt pressured to accept so close to closing. While the VA appraisal process is designed to assess value at a surface level, it doesn’t replace a full home inspection, which is the best way to identify repairs before closing. That doesn’t make your situation any less frustrating, and I’d like to take a closer look at your file to understand everything that happened.
Please reach out to my team directly 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. If you contact us outside those hours, we’ll get back to you the next business day.
