Some of the paperwork needed seemed redundant or unnecessary but they were very patient with us and kind. Everything went smoothly and overall was an extremy pleasant experience! I enjoyed working with Kendall and Adrienne!
Veterans United held my hand every step of the way, which is exactly what I wanted as a person who has never bought a home before. Any time something was needed from me, it popped up on my dashboard and I got an email about it. The app and website are extremely user friendly, and someone was always available to help me if I needed it.
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

Searching for a mortgage company to handle probably the largest purchase or refinancing house most Americans buy-it can be stressful.
From the “get-go” Hanna, Madison and team totally assuaged that stress.
We were updated regularly and any questions were quickly answered. We have bought 9 house in
our lifetime- Veterans United has been the best mortgage company we have worked with.. We especially like the To Do’s list and having it marked off when we completed each task. It took the mystery out of the process; plus the emails from Hanna and Madison let us know where we were in the process. Job well done. Gary & Emily Slusher
The team at Veterans United was outstanding. They were with us throughout the process, guiding us and making it a very smooth process. Go with Veterans United you won't regret it. Thank you
2023 is our Year! God has blessed us with a beautiful home! And we are overjoyed! We couldn’t have done with Brian Nelson, Raven Henderson, Stephanie Sanders, & Hazel Folkerts! Thank you all for making two Army Veterans dreams come true! “Go Veterans United” “Go Army” & “God Bless us All”
very easy to work with, not even all that much paperwork
Veterans united was great! Amanda and her team are the best! They made our home buying process seamless and made us feel like family.
Casey Martin and his team are second to none! They were extremely communicative, transparent about numbers, and patient with us during our home search. I am a returning customer for Casey and will be for my next purchase as well! I recommend him to Veteran i know searching for a home!

Daniel and his team made this whole process very easy.
Very tedious but I was new to the process and wasn’t sure how everything flowed, the agents I had were amazing shout out to Lisa Durand for explaining the process
Every member of veterans United was extremely helpful and made my home buying process very simple. I'm grateful!
Karol was amazing during the whole process. She was very organized and kept me on track. Very informative about the whole process.
My team at Veterans United were phenomenal. I primarily worked with Nicole and Daniel from my home buying team but communicated with all members. I was always kept informed to the process and all my questions were answered thoroughly. They made my home buying experience fast, simple and personalized.
I am grateful for the step-by-step support provided throughout my homebuying process. Toby and the entire team were excellent.
Highly dissatisfied with Veterans United Home Loans for passing my loan off to a foreign partner during my refinance. I went from talking to people I felt like I recognized and understood to a severe language gap with a financial provider who can’t even pretend they care who they’re financing. Up until this point, I would’ve highly recommended Veterans United Home Loans. now I will let people know to stay as far away as possible. This is not the service or the people that veterans want to be dealing with.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Christopher,
I’m really sorry to hear how frustrating this experience was, especially after you previously felt confident recommending Veterans United. Feeling comfortable with the people guiding you through a refinance is incredibly important, and I’m sorry that the transition in who you were working with left you feeling disconnected and unsupported.
Clear communication and a personal level of service matter a lot to us, so it’s concerning to hear that this part of the process felt so different from your earlier experience. I’d really like the opportunity to better understand what happened and review the details of your refinance so we can address the concerns you’ve raised.
If you’re willing, please reach out to me or the Client Advocate team 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 if you contact us outside those hours we’ll typically follow up the next business day. Your feedback is important, and I’d appreciate the chance to talk with you directly.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
