Nick grew up on an organic farm in North Central Missouri. His time spent on the family farm has molded much of his world view and work ethic and he appreciates getting back and spending time there when he can. Upon graduating from college, Nick spent the next 10 years travelling the world. He spent most of his time in Europe and Asia as a football player for a German club and an athletic director for an Asian international school. Those experiences introduced him to many American military communities serving abroad, whether in volunteering in MWR activities, being a member of the Navy League of the United States (Singapore Council) and making many lifelong friends along the way. Nick has a great sense of gratitude to our service men and women for their past and present service to our country. Nick prides himself in being one of the most responsive, personable and dedicated loan officers in the industry.

Even though it is a long-drawn-out proposal until closing is complete, don't get frustrated. Veterans United keeps you informed about where everything is at and answers any questions you may have. Highly recommended. Very pleased with United Veterans and the home I was able to purchase in my retirement
Nick and his team did a great job! Excellent communication and closed on time. Looking forward to working with them again!
Veterans United really helped us get a home. My spouse and I were not doing well credit wise, one call changed it all. We got set up with the lighthouse program and in 10 months we were ready. During that time , Veterans United kept reaching out and checking up on our progress... they didn't give up on us. The whole process was fast to say the least. Veterans united took care of everything , and we honestly used their partnerships and programs to get everything else squared away , because it is not only quicker , but honestly money saving as well. If you are on the fence , I really encourage you to reach out and talk to someone at least. Talking to someone is what got us started.And we absolutely knew zero about home buying.
My family and I were very disappointed with our experience using Veterans United for our home loan. The biggest issue was the consistently poor communication. Both myself and multiple members of our real estate team had a very difficult time getting in contact with our loan officer and his supervisor. Calls and messages often went unanswered, and this lack of responsiveness ultimately caused our closing to be delayed by six days.Unfortunately, the timing couldn’t have been worse. We had already arranged and loaded a moving truck and adjusted our schedules to spend a long weekend getting settled into the new home. Because Veterans United failed to communicate and process things in a timely manner, we weren’t able to close as planned. I was forced to either pay additional fees to keep the truck longer or make a six-hour round trip to unload everything into a garage—still without access to the house we were supposed to already own.To make matters worse, both our loan officer and his supervisor were unhelpful throughout the process and rude not only to me but also to the professionals working with us. Rather than acknowledging the delays caused on their end, they repeatedly tried to place blame elsewhere despite clear documentation showing their lack of responsiveness.Although Veterans United may offer competitive rates, the service we received was far below acceptable. Based on our experience, I would not recommend them.
Response from Veterans United
Hi John,
I’m really sorry to hear about this experience. What you described sounds incredibly stressful, especially with a moving truck packed and plans already in motion. A lack of communication and a delayed closing can throw everything off, and I understand why that would leave you feeling disappointed and frustrated.
Not being able to reach your loan officer or their supervisor is not the experience we want anyone to have, and I’m sorry for the added strain this put on you, your family, and your real estate team. I’m also concerned to hear that the interactions felt unhelpful or rude. That’s not how we aim to show up for the people who trust us with something as important as a home loan.
I’d really appreciate the chance to look into what happened and share your feedback with the right teams. If you’re open to it, our Client Advocate team can review the communication and delays in more detail. You can reach them at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. They’re available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and messages outside those hours are usually returned the next business day.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I truly wish things had gone differently for you and your family.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
