Veterans United made purchasing my home easier than 1, 2, Done. Pre-qualify, pick your home, and they will do the rest. Thanks for a team of professionals who really knows how to get the job done. Thanks Denise and Team for seeing this through.
Denise and her team are some of the best people to work with!
The entire team was extremely helpful from start to finish. They stayed engaged and helped me through everything, even as we switched houses halfway through the process. A+ effort in my book.
There was 2 great mistakes that put my family in a money hardship. The loan officer Ms Dennis Stroud not informing us, the real estate agent or me until 2 days before closing for the things that need to be fixed (the termite wood) so we can close on the house in time creating an extension in the hotel staying a extra week from August 19 2026 to August 28 2026 that was not in our budget creating a gap in our save money. Also Ms Dennis Spoke to me and gave me the incorrect closing cost estimate. Remember I understand Veterans United is a business but we loosing money it might not mean nothing for your company but for me and my family of 6 is a gap that Ms Dennis Stroud or anyone at Veteran United care about. May be if I was giving any compensation from veterans united like Ms Dennis mentioned privately to someone at least my last week of the hotel stay I will be able to tell all my military comrades that veterans united is a good lender after several people suggested me that veteran united give problems to a lot of people that veterans united don’t compensate clients for viral mistakes and I am another veteran with no compensation after mistakes that mean nothing to Veterans United with ex military veterans like me that live check by check after injury’s in combat. That showed that to Veterans United is just a business bait. Unfortunately I can’t tell anyone that they should get as a lender Veterans United. If at least me and family gets compensates for the week I have to stay in the hotel and when they make a mistake that cost clients money then I can say Veteran United take care of there clients and that the Veterans United name is not just a baited name. I still will wait for my week of compensation.
Response from Veterans United
I’m sorry to hear how stressful this experience was for you and your family, Davies. I understand that unexpected expenses surrounding a delayed closing can have a very real impact on a family’s budget, and I’m sorry you were left feeling that those concerns weren’t heard.
I also hear your concerns about the timing of information you received before closing and the closing cost estimate. I don’t want to discuss the details of your loan or any conversations about compensation publicly, but I would like the opportunity to make sure your concerns are reviewed directly.
Please reach out to me and the Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We’re available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and messages received outside those hours are typically answered the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Just amazing all around.
I felt that she cared about my needs as a first time home buyer. She answered all of my questions and made sure I understood the process.
Working with Veterans United and Denise Stroud has been an incredible experience. First and foremost, Denise is exceptionally competent. She has handled four loans for our family now, and every single one has been delivered right on time and perfectly within the provided estimates. She truly understands the ins and outs of the VA process, and she excels at partnering with attorneys, title companies, and everyone else involved in the home-closing journey to get the best results. The absolute best moment from this recent loan came when our closing team hit a major roadblock. Instead of letting things stall, Denise stepped in and simply asked, 'How can I help?' Her proactive support completely turned things around and ensured we were successful.
