Testimonials

"Nathan Long, chief executive of (Veterans United Home Loans), a mortgage lender in Columbia, Mo., and a brokerage firm that specializes in such loans, said a VA loan is a mortgage that is guaranteed by the United States Department of Veteran's Affairs ... Another benefit ... is that the seller is permitted to pay all of the buyer's closing costs."
"(Veterans United Home Loans) is a 9-year-old company that provides home financing and refinancing for service members, veterans and their families. It currently has about 500 employees."
"For a roving Coast Guardsman like Scott Dow, renting was a way of life. But after 21 years of service, Scott knew it was time for a change. And thanks to the unique perks afforded to veterans through the VA Loan program, he was able to not only buy his first home, but also trade up for an even better property."
"Veterans, members of the reserves, active duty service members, and even some spouses may be eligible for similar home loans through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. By guaranteeing a portion of the mortgage against default, the agency enables VA-approved lenders to offer eligible applicants access to home loans with no money down."
"Long credits (Veterans United Home Loan's) success to specialization in VA Loans and having trained VA Loan specialists answer every incoming call. They often can prequalify the veteran for a loan quickly, then hook veterans up with Realtors experienced in dealing with VA Loans."
"These loans were created with the military lifestyle in mind. It is common that a family must relocate or deal with a member being deployed overseas, which can make it difficult for the family to find financial stability and often leads to a struggle in obtaining a home loan."
"Working with (Veterans United Home Loans) was fantastic. We got to closing on time. We had a very short deadline to get there and they made it happen for us. Our broker was really knowledgeable with everything going on in the market. He knew when to lock in the interest rate and how to get us to closing fast."

- Gotts Family
"Even though we never met in person, I feel as though we knew each other as friends, and I still marvel that we conducted business via internet and long distant phone calls to close a quarter of a million dollar deal; signing all the closing documents at a local title company here in Utah."

- Lindgren Family
"Mike Mange is the most professional person I have ever dealt with from any company. From the first call he answered all of my questions no matter what time day or night, and everything he told us was going to happen did, right on schedule."

- Kessler Family
"Nothing could have made this experience better. I feel that everything went smoothly. Ben was very helpful from the beginning to the end. He was always keeping me informed and went above and beyond to find out information about certain questions I had. Ben Choi has made our first home buy a great one and I would highly recommend him to our family and friends."

- Uriel Silvaalcala
"They know the VA home loan. It's was not only our first experience with the VA home loan, but our first home ever we were purchasing. Gardell took the time to walk us through all of it, and was always ready and willing to answer any and all questions we had."

- Hobbs Family
