Stephanie and her team was a wonderful and great support team. Best possible service and +A recommendation to Stephanie, Victoria, and Mrs Benson
Team was great and very thorough, transparent and timely in their handling of our loan. We were engaged and wish they had mentioned that only the veteran could be on the deed, prior to marriage. This was only mentioned to us after we had gotten the clear to close, which caused us to renegotiate insurance as well, which increased our insurance rates. We also wish they had been available during closing, but we understand things happen. Overall we had a very good experience with them. Stephanie and Kayla are very kind, genuine people who truly care about their work and its impact.
I always felt it took forever to get ahold of my loan officer. For the amount of money on the hook reaching your loan officer (whom the entire VU team would refer you too for any technical questions) was like inquiring and getting an answer (MAYBE) in 7 days. My realtor believed that she was extremely difficult to reach (given the magnitude of lending in a large home purchase). When purchasing my first home, my loan officer was always available but I went against my better judgement off a referral to use VU instead. It took up until my closing time to get changes to final disclosure typos fixed (requested in first of three loan disclosures). The loan officer was impossible to get ahold of by myself, my realtor and title attorney at closing to address a wire discrepancy.All around my VU experience was subpar.
Response from Veterans United
Hey Joshua,
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m very sorry to hear how frustrating the communication throughout your loan process felt, especially during such a significant purchase. Buying a home should come with clear guidance and timely responses, and I can understand how stressful it would be to feel like you were struggling to get answers when important questions came up.
I’m also sorry to hear about the delays surrounding the Closing Disclosure corrections and the difficulty reaching someone during the final stages of closing. Situations involving document updates and funding details are understandably time-sensitive, and I can appreciate how concerning that experience must have been for both you and the professionals working alongside you.
While I’m glad your loan ultimately closed, I understand why the overall experience left you disappointed. Your feedback is important, and I’d appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened. If you’re open to speaking further, please reach out to me directly at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. Our Client Advocate team is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and messages received after hours are typically returned the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Stephanie, Kayla, and Kohlie were fantastic from start to finish. All despite various complexities and 11th-hour changes. Well done! Thank you!
Stephanie was awesome, this was a rocky year plus long road and we got it done. She was quick with the paperwork admin stuff and polite and professional even when I was frustrated. Her team was great too. Kayla and Victoria both checked in frequently and were responsive. Kudos to this team. Yall, got a solid work ethic. Thanks.
