Joshua J Schmidt
I am originally from St. Louis, Missouri, and a lifelong fan of Mizzou football and basketball. I proudly served in the U.S. Army for seven years, including two combat tours in Iraq while serving in the 82nd Airborne Division’s 3rd Brigade Combat Team 2/505th Parachute Infantry Regiment. My time in uniform was marked by leadership roles as a Team Leader and later as a Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge of a squad under the 1/509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, where I was responsible for the welfare of soldiers and millions of dollars in equipment, while supporting over 30 Combat training rotations at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, LA.
After completing my military service, I transitioned into the insurance and operations space, driven by a passion for building teams and serving my community. I took on leadership roles across multiple organizations, scaling several successful insurance brokerages. Most recently, I served as Agency Operations Manager at InsurVisors, where I led recruitment, business development, and training initiatives while also championing client satisfaction and community engagement.
Since being home, I have remained committed to supporting fellow veterans, including serving as a Wounded Warrior Project alumnus and actively participating in my local Chamber of Commerce and city leadership boards.
More important than any professional title, I am a proud father of three amazing kids—Luna, Liam, and Bryson. When I am not helping Veterans achieve their dreams of homeownership, you will find me with my children, usually watching them play sports, fishing, camping, or catching a Mizzou game when possible.

I applied with Veterans United late one night on a whim, honestly not expecting much — I was in the middle of a frustrating experience with a local credit union and had pretty low expectations for how this would go. Joshua Schmidt called me the next day, less than 24 hours after I submitted my application, and said "You're good to go, let's get the VA appraisal scheduled." I genuinely couldn't believe how fast and straightforward that was compared to what I'd just been through elsewhere.From there, Richard Litzinger (Loan Coordinator) took over and ran point on communication with my real estate agent, the VA appraiser, and everyone else involved, all the way through to closing. I know reviews here tend to show up under the loan officer's profile, but I don't want Richard's work to go unrecognized — he was the one keeping everything moving behind the scenes and made what could've been a stressful process feel completely handled.Between Joshua's responsiveness at the start and Richard's follow-through to the finish, this was hands-down the smoothest, most professional part of my home-buying experience. Highly recommend both of them and Veterans United as a whole.Update: A few days after closing, I got a sketchy-looking email claiming my homeowner's insurance was about to be cancelled for non-payment. I emailed Joshua about it not really expecting a fast response since the loan was already closed — but he got back to me right away, put in a ticket, and had it fully sorted out within about an hour. It's reassuring to know the support doesn't stop once you have the keys.
Very smooth with no surprises.
Joshua Schmidt- was exceptional- walked me through every step, returned my phone calls. He reassured me and explained the process.
