Our experience with Veterans United was perfect! Derek, and Nate and their teams were very helpful, easy to talk to and just overall pleasure to work with. They made our home buying experience a painless and enjoyable! Thank you so much to Veterans United and their team of experts in the home buying field! The Terra house!
Derek and his team made buying my first home with my VA loan a breeze. They basically walked me through the whole process of pre approval to final purchase. They answered any questions I had no matter if on a weekend or evening. Derek was able to move my closing date up a few days to avoid a severe storm forecasted for our area. I am very pleased with Veterans United. I had heard about them and they were recommended by other veterans on Facebook groups I follow. Highly recommend talking to them first when looking to purchase a home.
I would think the use of docusign might sped things up? my last refie in 2020 used it a lot, still had to physically close. maybe its the VA? My second go with VA loan Guarentee.Also you need redundancy built into your servers.. auto fall over to secondary server..Durel
Best experience with communication and process. Just wow
Derek Russell and Jeremy Patterson were the best! They were very helpful and answered all of our questions. They made the process less stressful :)
Fantastic team and on top of their game. Easy to reach when needed. Went above and beyond my expectations couldn't be happier!
My experience with Veterans United was outstanding! The entire process was suitably structured, generously transparent, and very supportive. Buying a new home (and moving) could have been a stressful process, but it was orchestrated as a smooth and comfortable experience. Communication was clear and helpful every step of the way. I always felt well informed and understood what was needed for each step in the process. As a Veteran, I truly appreciate the outreach of everyone in the VU staff. They are efficient and respectful and eager to assist. I also appreciate the service offered by the concierge team. And finally, I do recommend Veterans United to any fellow veterans planning a home purchase.
