Veterans United made a dream come true that I thought was impossible! I stepped into the home buying process with no knowledge, and now I feel confident and comfortable with everything that has happened throughout the process. From the very beginning to the day I received the keys to my home, Veterans United blew me away. I highly recommend Veterans United!
Honestly, be prepared for an extreme lack of communication.
Especially if you are a first time home buy.Veteran United absolutely dropped the ball and pulled the wool over our eyes during the home buying process. Kept saying "You're getting cash back" which was a total ruse. They will also constantly defect on "you checked a box" which doesn't explain anything at all or actually talk about what you are looking at. So expect to go over that closing cause they aren't going to call you or email in regards to closing documents and etc. They will also send you all the documents the day before closing like they did me. I can assure this is case many other veteran.At the very end on closing day, we were blinded side with Taxes that were escrowed from seller. They were used at to help cover closing cost.That money we were getting back was taxes owed at end of the year and I now have to make up the difference. Veteran United made that decision for me versus giving me the option of differing tax to cover and paying closing cost or doing that option they decided.None of this was explained until we closed.I would heavily weigh your options with other vendor as Veterans United really didn't care that what was a special day was totally ruined by lack of communication leading to closing.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Nicholas,
Thank you for taking the time to share what happened. I’m sorry that what should have been an exciting closing day instead left you feeling blindsided and frustrated. As a first-time homebuyer, you should feel like you understand what’s happening with your loan and have someone available to walk through questions with you along the way.
I can understand your frustration with receiving documents so close to closing and feeling like the final numbers weren’t clearly explained beforehand. Regardless of how complicated the details can get, our goal is to make sure you feel informed about your options and comfortable with what you’re signing.
I appreciate you being candid about where the experience fell short. If you’re open to talking through your concerns, our Client Advocate team would like the opportunity to review the experience with you. You can reach us at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
Take care,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
The whole process was extremely easy. All we had to do was follow the steps and everything fell into place. If we had any questions the team was quick to respond with an answer.
We had an extremely stressful, disorganized, and untimely experience with Veterans United. My client said they would never use them again after our experience. We had an 11 day delay on closing because of items that should have come up previously but waited to be brought up until the week before closing. Terrible communication and response.
Response from Veterans United
Hey Timothy,
I’m really sorry to hear how stressful and frustrating this experience was for both you and your client. Delays so close to closing, especially when concerns feel like they should have been addressed much earlier in the process, can create a lot of unnecessary stress and uncertainty. I can understand why the lack of communication and responsiveness left such a negative impression.
We know how important it is to keep everyone informed throughout the homebuying process, including agents and borrowers, and I’m sorry that didn’t happen here. An 11-day closing delay is significant, and it’s understandable that your client walked away feeling disappointed after the experience.
I’d appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened and share your feedback with the appropriate teams. 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 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and if you contact us outside those hours, we’ll typically respond the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Great service and let us know exactly what we needed
Aaron and Marina were outstanding. As a first time buyer I had endless questions and they were always knowledgeable, personable and professional. Dez contacted me several times offering to assist with finding movers, utilities and helping to make the move as easy as possible. Thanks Veterans United!
