Shawnee, Julian and Justin, thank you so much! My daughter and I are very grateful!
Everyone at VU was terrific. You saved me a lot of money, even with my insurance!!The only issue I had with VU was the underwriting process. Some of the tasks could have been clearer and added extra stress. I suggest re-evaluating all the deeply personal information required, which seemed excessive.Additionally, wire transfers should be allowed from Fidelity. That process was challenging, and in the end, I had to personally go into my bank - not having stepped foot in it in almost 25 years to get a cashier's check. Having to do this only introduced human error into the mix of an already stressful process. With my exceptional credit rating, satisfying the underwriters made me feel I was untrustworthy and left me concerned that the process was rife with potential identity theft. If I knew I'd have to go through the underwriter's process again, I may rethink going with VU.
My wife and I have purchased many homes over the years - this transaction with Veterans United was by far the easiest and smoothest! Nobody enjoys the home loan process, but our VU team kept us informed and the process was laid out, so there were no surprises. Our entire team CJ, Rachel and LaSar were available quickly and promptly to answer any questions and offer guidance. Thank you to team!!
Thanks everyone
Alyssa helped us also and she was also so nice and patient and very informative! Like with Aaron we would have to call her several times a day and she was so happy to help us every time
Whole team was great with communication.
This truly was the worst experience I've ever had in obtaining a mortgage or any sort of loan. Alberto was about the most unprofessional loan officer that I have ever dealt with. Between numbers constantly changing, accusatory statements towards my company, constant requests for different documents that go back further than what should have been needed, dialogue with my girlfriend about my income that should have been a conversation with me first, then asking my third party accountant to send an e-mail confirming something I've already confirmed (which is illegal and unethical). I simply cannot express my disgust enough with this process. Luckily, James stepped in near the end after the many fumbles the MVU team made. The process was eventually complete after almost losing our new home due to a time factor caused by Alberto. But never again will I use MVU. I hope anyone who uses MVU has a better experience than what I had. Best of luck to everyone.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Christopher, while we are glad to hear that in the end you had a positive experience with a member of our VU family, it sounds like it was not your overall journey. We know how tiresome it can be to tackle paperwork head on each day. For this reason, it is our goal to guide you every step of the way and make the process seem as easy as possible. The process for disclosing the costs of a loan is managed very closely. Though, we also understand how relying on estimates for a portion of the home buying process can seem inconsistent or make it difficult to trust the process. We apologize for any time that you felt we could have done better. Our Client Advocate team will use your comments to ensure we are considering ways to improve, and we hope your new home serves you well in the future.
We could not have asked for a better Loan Officer than Charles McKee. He made our home buying dream a reality. We could not have done it without him. He was with us from the initial preapproval process until we signed our closing papers. His service was impeccable and his work ethic was impressive. Thank you Charles for being so kind and patient with all our needs. We were truly in good hands with you.
I truly don't know how I would have made it through the experience of buying my first home without Veterans United. Thank yall so much for everything you did (and will continue to do) for me and my family. As a father, as a husband, and as a veteran, it means everything to me knowing VU is on my team!
The only critical feedback I have is that VU needs to put itself out there more!!!Work with TAPS on military installations to get the word out!This team TRULY takes care of Vets. And I am eternally grateful for VU in helping me find my forever home!Thank you!
I was very blessed to have my team as they all worked on my behalf to secure a unique home. I always could count on quick responses to any question by one or another person of my loan team, and so I felt secure in the process. I am very happy today with my beautiful new home, and to have all the kind, thoughtful, and sincere daily effort that they performed to get me here. Thank you all!
Just wanted to say thank you all for your hard work, and your positive attitude! I must admit when I first heard about the number of people who would be involved, I was overwhelmed! However, the process went very easy! There was great communication within the team that made it easy for me! Lastly, that "to-do" list, was off the chain! This also made my home buying experience, one I will never forget!
The whole experience was great we original just applied to see what we need to do to qualify. Then we found out we were approved. The team definitely made the whole process easy. Thank you all again
Easy peasy process. OMG, I am so grateful
