I'd highly recommend Veterans United to anyone eligible. The team was incredibly helpful and eager to see me through the process.
Joel, Brittany, Chance, Thomas, and the rest of the team are AWESOME and AMAZING!!! From the first call to the last (Closing), everyone made this process easy and explained everything. It was a first for us, having everything done online (as opposed to the old-school face-to-face approach) or via calls/emails/text. But the whole team made it easy, explained, and kept everyone informed.
We would recommend any Veteran and their family to Veterans United. Thank you for everything.
The closing costs leading up to the closing date kept fluctuating from a significant number to something more manageable. It almost made me back out of the deal due to how night it was.
Response from Veterans United
Hi George,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm sorry the changing closing costs made the process so stressful and nearly caused you to walk away from your home purchase. I understand how frustrating that uncertainty can be. I'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experience. Please reach out to me 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 we'll typically respond the next business day if you contact us after hours.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Veterans United is totally the greatest loan process I have ever worked with. They are a professional team of experts and go the extra mile. They even worked on the weekends to help me finalize my loan process. I highly recommend them to everyone I know and meet.
