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 were nothing shy of amazing throughout this process. Their communication and reassurance was unbelievable! I’d not only recommend them but I would use them again for sure.

I have many good things to say about Veterans United. They were a pleasure to work with, very transparent and timely, as well as going above and beyond to ensure we were updated the second new information was put out. My only concern is mainly my fault, if you’re planning on getting married during the home buying process, put it off until a bit afterwards. If that’s not an option, tell them at the start of the process.

Working with Derek Russell was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The entire process was incredibly smooth, communication was always prompt and clear, and every question I had was answered quickly and thoroughly. I always knew where we stood throughout the loan process, which made buying a home much less stressful.What really stood out was how efficiently everything was handled. We were clear to close two weeks before our scheduled closing date, which speaks volumes about the preparation, organization, and hard work that went into making sure everything was completed well ahead of schedule.I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated loan officer. Thank you for making our home-buying process so seamless!

Going through Veteran United was great. Derek Russell was phenomenal with constantly touching bases with me regarding all the documents that were needed to get my husband and I pre-approved for our home. We got our pre-approval letter instantly.Derek Russell also make sure that his clients stay up to date on their Veterans United checklist. He is always available for any questions or concerns that a client may have.The home buying process went very smoothly. I was recommended by other veterans to go through Veterans United and now I highly recommend Veterans United as the top home lender for all military families.
