I am a veteran who was in need of a home for my family; I didn't know about Veterans United and was turned down by my first lender; I was not sure why; my credit was good; my realtor said to try Veterans United and that's exactly what I did. I was fortunate enough to speak to Kayla, and from the time I spoke to Kayla and her team, everything fell (easily) in place for me! I now recommend Kayla, at Veterans United to every service member that I meet!
It was a long road due to many unforeseen obstacles...but Veterans United was patient and supportive throughout the process. Alex Herbel and his team were excellent to work with!
All of the representatives that assisted us during this process were excellent. Always maintained great communication and answered all of our questions.
Veterans United was very easy to work with and their employees are very efficient. A special thanks to Alberto and his team for their professionalism and efficiency. Alberto really made my experience a positive one.Will definitely recommend Veterans United to people looking for a mortgage.
Justin and the entire team were incredibly helpful throughout our home buying process, from pre‑approval all the way through post‑closing. They made everything seamless and easy and were always available to answer questions. Thank you to Veterans United for making our home‑buying experience outstanding!

I had a great experience working with Veterans United Home Loans from start to finish. Their team was responsive, knowledgeable, and made what can be a complicated process feel straightforward and manageable.What stood out most was how they handled my timeline. I initially reached out but decided not to move forward right away, and instead of constant follow-ups, they checked in periodically without any pressure. When I was ready, they picked right back up and made the process seamless.As a veteran, I also appreciated how well they understood and explained the VA loan process, making sure I had access to all the benefits and information available to me.Their online portal for document submission was incredibly user-friendly and organized—it made everything so simple that I almost felt like I was missing something.Overall, they made the experience smooth, efficient, and low-stress. I would absolutely recommend them to other veterans looking to buy a home.
Great service, as a new home buyer they really helped me through the process. They answered so many of my questions and were very responsive.
Ryan Sherman and his team are fabulous! This is my second loan and the whole process was seamless! I have thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone!
My wife and I would like to convey (we learned that word from our real estate dealings, lol) our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of the Veteran's United Team!!!Our journey began with Smith Gaddy on May 23rd. This being our first home ever (yes, at our age...), we did not know what to do or expect. We were guided by you all every step of the way. Our concierge (Casie) got us connected and on track for this process. She also hooked us up with our realtor. Tyler (our loan officer) got involved immediately and worked on our preapproval. Every step was detailed and explained in ways we could understand. The patience, understanding, and commitment was/is so amazing. Cara kept us on track for the underwriter and Jimmy kept the ball rolling in the same efficient manner when Cara was not available. Alicia got our Homeowners insurance in line and patiently kept making necessary changes as we needed them. We successfully closed on July 25th, 2022!Tyler (our loan officer) has gone out of his way to make our dream come true. He helped us overcome obstacles which could have destroyed our dream from becoming a reality. We will never forget him or his team!We tell you all this so you can get an idea from the buyers/our perspective. You all never lost sight of why you are doing this.I am a Vietnam Veteran who has had a difficult trip through life. I never would have dreamed this possible. More importantly, my wife gets the one thing in this life that she has always dreamed of. Thank you for what you have done for us! Remember that you all hold the ability to fulfill a void in a veteran and his family's life. It makes a HUGE difference and again we will be forever grateful to you all. Thank you!!!
My Team at Veterans United Wesley, Kristine, Wade, and Phoebe all were very professional, helpful and courteous. My Team is awesome and I recommend them anytime to anybody.
Just make sure to verify ALL communications with the primary lender.
So working with Veterans United(VU) during the home buying wasn't bad, they were attentive and got the job done. I went with VU mainly because they serve veterans and "claim" they will remain with you. They sold my loan the Planet Home Lending immediately with the statement below."Will anything change about my loan if it’s transferred?
The only change you’ll notice is where payments are going. Your terms will remain the same, and your team is always here for you regardless of who handles your loan"
I refinanced with Planet recently and just closed with a lower rate and monthlypayment.
My 1st payment was due April 1st. Before the 1st payment was even due I got an escrow shortage notice. I was told my paymet was increasing $195/ month. I asked, how could this be? I JUST closed like a month ago. Now my payment is HIGHER than it was with the original loan. Planet Home cannot explain it to me. I contacted my "Team" over at VU on 2 occasions and have been ghosted. I would not recommend. This is why I hold off on surveys until I see the entire picture.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Jason,
Thank you for taking the time to share this. I’m really glad to hear your homebuying experience itself felt smooth and that our team was attentive along the way. At the same time, I’m sorry for the frustration you’ve run into after your loan was transferred, especially with the unexpected escrow shortage and the difficulty getting clear answers.
I can understand how confusing it would be to see your payment increase so soon after refinancing, and even more so when you’re not getting the explanations you need. On top of that, feeling like your questions went unanswered when you reached back out to your team is not the experience we want for you.
Even though your loan is serviced by another company, you’re still part of the Veterans United family, and you should feel supported. I’d really like the opportunity to step in, review what’s going on, and help get you connected to the right information or next steps.
When you have a moment, please reach out to me directly at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We’re available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, and if you contact us after hours, we’ll follow up the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
