Stephen was born in California, but spent most of his childhood in upstate New York. He moved to Columbia, MO after high school where he graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Stephen comes from a family with a strong military presence. His maternal grandfather served in WWII, his paternal grandparents served in the Korean War, his mother served in the Public Health Services and he has two brothers that are Marines, one whom is currently active. Stephen grew up working for the family construction company; strong work ethic is a very important value of his. When not at work proudly serving our veterans and active duty service members, Stephen prefers to spend his time outdoors either doing a water activity, bicycling or taking his two dogs out to go explore.

Stephen and his team provided an outstanding home buying experience. This whole process can be overwhelming at times, but they were gracious and helpful every step of the way. The myvu portal provided a streamlined and organized access point for everything involved with the loan process. With a document database and personalized objectives, I had everything I needed in one place including information for setting up utilities and movers.
Working with Stephen Erickson and Adam Nelson was the easiest it has ever been for me to buy a house. They were attentive, honest, quick to respond and professional. Veterans united as a whole did make me feel part of a family all the way and I found the process as painless as possible, actually a joy
There were some things that we wanted to know when interested in a house and we didn't get that info. Our daughter and son in law went VA loan and they h ad all their info before purchase. I would never use Veterans United again because of that. The people were great and helped us understand the process as being new home buyers.
Incredible team to work with!
Service was exceptional. Always kept me updated on things and kept things moving to the goal of owning my own home
If you are a veteran looking for a home, Veterans United is the only real choice! Because they are veteran specialists. They know the veteran mentality and most of all they treat you with respect.My loan specialists Stephen Erickson and Brandon Willis were excellent! There are no words no describe their Professionalism, knowledge and understanding of my situation! The process went so smooth that I couldn't even believe it!
Stephen, Erin, Camron, & Jesse along with your recommended Realtor Ophelia were Amazing. I cry tears of joy knowing I had the BEST. They all kept me grounded. And for that I love each and everyone of them. Thank You all so very much again. GOD is Good.
Sincerely,

Everything was awesome with one minor exception. I wasn’t told that I needed my well tested until the very last minute and it delayed the closing for almost 2 weeks simply because that’s how long it took to get all the tests back.
United not only got us the home we wanted but they made sure we didn't overpay and the home was in a good enough condition to be able to be lived in. They were on top of everything to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible.
The process was smooth and basically effortless, thanks to Stephen and Trent. 10/10
