Always there for me and answered all my questions
Wendy and her team was absolutely amazing to work with, they explained everything effectively. The work with me when it took me a while to find some documents needed to get the approval.
Amazing team work!
I want to thank everyone that was involved. We appreciate you all. From the bottom of our hearts. You have made one of our most wanted dreams come true. Thank you for making sure we have a place to raise our brand new family.
Predatory pricing practices and extremely poor communication throughout the loan process.I made it clear to my loan officer multiple times that I did not want points and that any remaining lender credit should instead be applied toward reducing a car loan obligation. Despite those instructions, the credit was used for a rate buy-down against my wishes. This was addressed so late in the process that it was presented as though there was no realistic opportunity to correct it before closing.Another major issue was our rate lock expiration, which resulted from an unavoidable probate delay after one of the sellers unexpectedly passed away. This circumstance was entirely outside of our control, yet Veterans United refused to reasonably accommodate or waive the rate lock extension despite the extenuating circumstances.Communication throughout the transaction was consistently frustrating. I repeatedly had to follow up for updates, ask for explanations when issues arose, and push for clarity regarding my own loan file. Instead of being proactively guided through the process, I often felt left in the dark until I persistently checked in myself.Much of this frustration could have been avoided with proper communication, transparency, and timely explanations. Instead, we lost thousands of dollars at closing and were forced to advocate for ourselves at nearly every stage of the transaction.This was my second loan with Veterans United, and after this experience, I would not use them again. Unfortunately, I would strongly encourage other veterans and military families to carefully consider alternative lenders.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Ty,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear about the frustration you encountered throughout your loan process, especially after previously working with us. It’s clear this experience did not meet the level of communication, transparency, and support you expected or deserved.
I understand how upsetting it must have been to feel that your preferences regarding lender credits and discount points were not honored. Conversations surrounding rate buydowns and loan structure should always be clear, and I’m sorry you felt those concerns were not properly addressed before closing.
I’m also sorry for the added stress surrounding the rate lock extension during an already difficult situation involving the seller’s probate delay. Communication is one of the most important parts of the homebuying process, and it’s concerning to hear that you felt left to manage updates and seek clarity on your own rather than being proactively guided through the process.
We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Feedback like yours helps us identify opportunities to improve both our communication and overall client experience. If you’re open to discussing your experience further, we would encourage you to reconnect with our Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Second time buying a home. Shopped around for a mortgage and still came back to VU. If there is a third, I’ll just go straight to Jon.
Bailey, Scott, Annie, and Sierra all did a great job and were very helpful during the whole process. Made it very easy
Craig and his team were awesome! Always ready to help and quick to respond. Even evening hours.
Derek H. and his team were outstanding. Their attention to detail and diligent work ethic got me to the closing table. Thanks to Jamie for guiding me in the right direction to bring up my credit scores so that I could successfully qualify for my mortgage. Rae kept on top of my to do list keeping me informed on what was needed next.Great job to all of you! Melisa and I are happy that we chose Veterans United for our VA loan.Vernon Ramassar
I was treated with the utmost respect and courtesy. Holly is AWESOME!!!!!
Thank you everyone for making my first time home buying experience fast and smooth. I appreciate everyone's prompt communication and knowledge throughout the whole process. I felt like I had the best team to work worth in helping me purchase my home.
Very knowledgeable staff, ready to assist in every step of the process, including researching utility companies movers even assisting with change of address. No surprises, I knew exactly what to expect. Would highly recommend.
I’m impressed with VU’s outstanding ability to coordinate practically everything. I loved that the had everything there, it was an amazing process.
Wouldn’t recommend already filled the complaint about loan officer
We are so happy with our new home! Cole at Veteran's United and his team made it a seamless process. They were always available to answer any questions we had.
Everyone at Veterans United were great,Shane,Spencer,Andrew, Nick, Tech support! They know what their doing and do it well! I closed on a house in about one month,excellent! Thank you all!
Best customer service. United Veterans is very efficient in mortgage financing. Everything was done in a very timely manner. The process allow you to be ready to close weeks before the closing date, if you provide your supporting documents in a timer manner to the loan processors.
Would never use veterans united or recommend them to anyone else. My lender and closing team haven’t reach out to me and my closing cost went up 6,000 dollars then expect. When I arrived at closing I was unaware that I owe anything. The closing agency threatened us that we would have to leave the property. Thankfully I had the 8,000 dollars in closing cost to cover it. But no one reach out to me to mention that I would owe money at closing. I was under the impression that the sell of my home would transfer the money for closing of my new home. Very disappointed in veterans united for not being transparent with me I was under the impression that closing cost would be 9,000 dollars. 7,000 would be covered by the seller and when I sold my home the funds would be transfer to the closing of my new home. But no closing cost ended up being around 16,000 dollars. I believe the buy down points went up without my knowledge. No one reach out to me. I reach out to management and they basically told me that I made a mistake and I forgot everything. Overall very disappointed in veterans united I will tell everyone to stay away from this company and don’t understand how my closing cost ended up being so around 16,000 dollars.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Trumann,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear how stressful and frustrating closing became for you, especially when you were under the impression that the funds from the sale of your previous home and the seller concessions would cover the costs associated with your new home purchase.
Unexpected changes to closing costs, particularly that close to closing day, can create a lot of confusion and pressure. I understand how upsetting it must have been to arrive at closing and feel unprepared for the amount due. Communication and transparency throughout the process are incredibly important, and I’m sorry that you left feeling unsupported and unclear about the final numbers and rate buydown details.
Our loan teams do review loan terms, rates, and disclosures throughout the process, including any associated costs tied to rate buydowns or financing decisions. However, it’s clear from your feedback that we did not communicate those details in a way that left you feeling confident and informed, and that’s something we take seriously.
We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and would encourage you to reconnect with our Client Advocate team so we can review your experience further. We’re available at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST Monday through Friday, but please feel free to reach out anytime.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
