Everything about out loan process was poorly done. At the start they should have asked for my husbands COE for his VA loan for preapproval. They instead didn’t ask for it until a week to close. This caused us to miss our closing date. We are first time buyers and didn’t know all the questions to ask. We repeatedly asked what else was needed and were told nothing, only to be asked for more later. A checklist at the start would have been much more productive. After switching to an FHA loan we experienced the same problem. Again would have missed our closing date if we hadn’t found Sarah. There were so many resources we weren’t given, questions we weren’t given correct answers to all which could have avoided a most of this. We felt continually pushed aside by Jake and his team. I would never again trust him or his team.
Response from Veterans United
Hi James,
I’m really sorry to hear how frustrating and discouraging this process was for you. As first-time homebuyers, you should have felt clearly guided from the very beginning, especially when it came to important items like a Certificate of Eligibility and understanding what would be needed for preapproval.
Learning that documents were requested late in the process and that it impacted your closing date is concerning. Being told nothing else was needed, only to later be asked for more, would understandably make you feel unprepared and stressed. You deserved clearer expectations and better communication throughout.
I’m also troubled to hear that you felt pushed aside. That’s never how anyone should feel during such an important milestone. I truly appreciate you sharing this feedback, and I would welcome the opportunity to review your experience more closely.
I’m here to listen and would welcome a direct conversation. You can reach me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. Our team is available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, with after-hours messages returned the next business day.

First home purchase!!!
Veterans United served us with nothing but kindness and in a timely manner. We never expected for the process to go that smoothly and efficiently.
The entire team with VU that I worked with was completely amazing through every step! I am so grateful for all of them!
Mr. MADDOX and his team are very friendly and helpful, understanding someone obstacles
Our Veterens united team was outstanding !!
We never felt rushed in the process and always felt heard . We looked at quite a few homes and ultimately found the home perfect for our family
VU team was so professional and informative every step of the process
We will recommend Veterens United to all of our Veterens and active duty friends!!
had a great experience with Veterans United. They are incredibly responsive and on top of everything from start to finish. If you need updates, reminders, or next steps, they will absolutely stay on you — but in the nicest, most supportive way possible. 😅Their team makes sure nothing slips through the cracks, and you always know exactly what’s going on in the process. If you want a lender that communicates consistently, follows up relentlessly (in a good way), and genuinely keeps your loan moving forward, they’re it.
Disgusted by how everything ended up at the end. Ive explained myself.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Manuel,
I’m really sorry to hear how everything ended and how strongly you’re feeling about it. That’s not the experience I want anyone to walk away with.
If you’re open to it, I’d appreciate the chance to talk through what happened and review your concerns personally. You can reach me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. Our team is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, and we typically respond the next business day if contacted after hours.

They are great people with pretty soul may God bles
Fantastic! They make the whole process easy and smooth. I recommend it!
My loan team is always friendly and answers any questions I have quickly and in a clear way that I understand.
I'm stepping into a new phase in life. That said, Daren and his team have been absolutely essential players in my game plan to renew my joy. Thank you so much for making this an easy process!
Buying a house is a painful long process, more than I thought it would be. Veterans united walked me through it all, and got me the best deal available. Excellent service.
Using Veterans United was such a seamless process. We expected a hassle and a lot of back and forth like we did with another company our first time we bought a home. We were so pleasantly surprised that this was the complete opposite experience! Josh and Dustin were very communicative and always available to answer any and every question we had! Highly recommend!!
My entire lending team was amazing. I began the home buying process with almost no knowledge of what to do. Vince, Zack, and Natalie walked me through the whole thing, answered any questions I had, and ensured I felt comfortable with my decisions before moving to each next step. Amazing professionalism, interpersonal skills, and knowledge from the entire team. If I could rate higher than a 10 I would.
The Loan coordinator we had Monica would never answer the phone or emails. She would ask for the same paperwork after we had already sent it to her multiples times. As a first time home buyer and my husband overseas it was very frustrating when we didn’t have complete information or information was relayed to us last minute it’s very hard to coordinate when you don’t know what to do. I had a very stressful experience because of her. I hope that other military families don’t have to deal with this stress while buying a home and trying to PCS with a service member overseas.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Christian,
I’m so sorry to hear how stressful this experience was for you, especially as a first-time homebuyer with your husband overseas. Buying a home during a PCS is already a lot to manage, and you should have felt supported and clearly guided every step of the way.
It’s frustrating to hear that communication felt inconsistent and that you were asked for the same paperwork multiple times. Not having complete information, or receiving it at the last minute, can make an already complex process feel overwhelming. I can absolutely understand how that would add unnecessary stress to your situation.
Military families sacrifice so much, and the homebuying experience should never add to that burden. I would truly appreciate the opportunity to look into this more closely and better understand what happened.

As a first-time homebuyer, I was unfamiliar with the process, and being nearly nine hours away due to work obligations made it even more challenging. From start to finish, the team at Veterans United made the experience smooth and straightforward. They took the time to ensure I understood each step and maintained seamless communication throughout, never leaving me out of the loop. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially those navigating the home-buying process for the first time or from a distance.
As a first-time homebuyer, I was pleasantly surprised by the smooth process. The team of specialists provided me with expert guidance throughout the entire journey.
Once again , VU and my team; especially Tommy Heller are amazing! Tommy always answers questions quickly and always available through the process of buying and refinancing a home . If he ever leaves VU, I’ll follow 😉
In a time in history and country where daily news shows only constant turmoil and death seemingly to be near imploding in America, Veterans United and its team member hold that torch of hope lighting the way and helping those that sacrificed so much overseas only to return to face battling for already deserved and earned benefits. VU is the real deal!!God Bless Veterans United!!Semper FiAndrew Westbrook
I couldn't be more excited than I am now with you all help. it was super fast and the flow was all so sweet at first I had my doubts but you and the whole team made it happen. To me all of u did the impossible. My wife and I truly appreciate the hard work: again thank you all!!!!
I am not impressed with Veterans United. My biggest problem with them is that we felt like another statistic for the loan team. They were nearly impossible to get a hold of and were not very flexible with setting up meetings that worked with our work schedule. I would call and leave messages and send emails, and would not get any reply for the questions I had. My bigger issue with Veterans United is that we sat down and discussed taking out an additional loan for our down payment, our loan officer forgot that we had discussed this, and halfway through underwriting had to erase our file and start again. This pushed our closing date back a week. Through that process, it felt that no one on the team communicated with each other. When our loan officer got our file built back up, there was NO communication that they would raise our rate from a 5.75% that it previously was, up to 6.625%. This is very misleading and very discouraging. We plan to refinance down the road when I am eligible for the VA Home loan, and I will not be using Veterans united and I would not ever recommend to anyone that anyone use them either.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Jakob,
I’m really sorry to hear how this experience made you feel. Buying a home is too important to feel like just another number, and it’s concerning to hear that communication felt inconsistent and hard to access. Not getting timely responses to calls and emails, especially when you’re trying to coordinate around work schedules, can be incredibly frustrating.
I also understand how discouraging it must have been to have your file restarted during underwriting and see your closing pushed back. That kind of disruption adds stress to an already detailed process. On top of that, a change in rate without clear communication would understandably feel upsetting and misleading.
Your feedback is serious, and I would truly appreciate the opportunity to review your file and better understand what happened here. My goal is to ensure your concerns are fully heard and addressed.
If you’re open to it, please reach out to me directly at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. The Client Advocate team is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, and we typically respond the next business day if contacted after hours.
