Always there for me and answered all my questions
Would never use veterans united or recommend them to anyone else. My lender and closing team haven’t reach out to me and my closing cost went up 6,000 dollars then expect. When I arrived at closing I was unaware that I owe anything. The closing agency threatened us that we would have to leave the property. Thankfully I had the 8,000 dollars in closing cost to cover it. But no one reach out to me to mention that I would owe money at closing. I was under the impression that the sell of my home would transfer the money for closing of my new home. Very disappointed in veterans united for not being transparent with me I was under the impression that closing cost would be 9,000 dollars. 7,000 would be covered by the seller and when I sold my home the funds would be transfer to the closing of my new home. But no closing cost ended up being around 16,000 dollars. I believe the buy down points went up without my knowledge. No one reach out to me. I reach out to management and they basically told me that I made a mistake and I forgot everything. Overall very disappointed in veterans united I will tell everyone to stay away from this company and don’t understand how my closing cost ended up being so around 16,000 dollars.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Trumann,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear how stressful and frustrating closing became for you, especially when you were under the impression that the funds from the sale of your previous home and the seller concessions would cover the costs associated with your new home purchase.
Unexpected changes to closing costs, particularly that close to closing day, can create a lot of confusion and pressure. I understand how upsetting it must have been to arrive at closing and feel unprepared for the amount due. Communication and transparency throughout the process are incredibly important, and I’m sorry that you left feeling unsupported and unclear about the final numbers and rate buydown details.
Our loan teams do review loan terms, rates, and disclosures throughout the process, including any associated costs tied to rate buydowns or financing decisions. However, it’s clear from your feedback that we did not communicate those details in a way that left you feeling confident and informed, and that’s something we take seriously.
We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and would encourage you to reconnect with our Client Advocate team so we can review your experience further. We’re available at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST Monday through Friday, but please feel free to reach out anytime.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
