Matt and his team went above and beyond to get my family and I into our new home! They exceeded our expectations at every milestone.
These people are so nice I did it twice! They go out their way to make sure your home buying experience is explained to you. I loved their “To Do List” because it keeps you on track every step of the way and your calls are always answered by someone. You can expect to be with respect and dignity.
Checklists and easy to follow links really made the process smooth. The team was available for any questions i had.
Everyone was very helpful with questions for a first time home owner
Home buying can be stressful especially when you’re juggling regular life with a bunch of kids. Understanding the lending process let alone a VA Loan was a lot of work (for me). Veterans United made the process simple and my loan officer, Rachel was outstanding! Made the process simple. Clearly communicated every step of the way. And fought for our best interests when the seller was committed to their own best interests. I’d recommend Rachel and Veterans United in a heartbeat.
I worked with Tammy H. at Puyallup WA branch and i had a very poor experience. She displayed impatience when answering questions and used a condescending tone.
At time i would had appreciated more direct guidance from my loan officer to walk me through one of the biggest financial decision on my family lives, rather than figuring it out the requirements and process of my loan by myself.
She also relied heavily on the VA app to read and learn about the loan process on my own.
No explanation no effort to help me understand my own loan. That made me feel dismissed. Communication was almost non-existent. I received several calls from your WI branch about internet ,home moving services, insurance, she never mentioned this in advance so i had no idea why i was been contacted so i had no context of these calls.
The only visit at her office (requested by me)one of my questions was "why you use the middle lowest FICO score to allocate the interest rate "I was told "because that's the way it is", i was hoping for bit more explanation to help me understand, she made no effort to actually explain the process.
One of the most stressful part was closing/signing day we also found out we needed to bring a cashier check .This was never communicated prior, which caused a very stressful last minute scramble.
Additionally , i got my homeowner and car insurance in Sep 2nd. trough VA in WI.I signed, agreed to the payments and was even charged for one month even though coverage did not start until Sep.28th.Then 3-4 days ago i received a text saying the zip code was mistyped and now my premium has gone up by $34 .They also texted "sorry for the mistake but we are glad were able to fix it" which was disappointing given that it was an error on your end that increased my cost .
I appreciate all that Veterans United does for veterans(i have 2 Navy Veterans Sons)and i am grateful for my home, but overall i felt the personal support and communication could have been better.
( even today communication is bad, i texted her yesterday morning with a question regarding earnest money and no answer yet).
Response from Veterans United
Hi Marco,
I'm sorry to hear that your experience left you feeling unsupported during such an important milestone for your family. Buying a home comes with plenty of questions, and you should feel comfortable asking them and confident that you're receiving the guidance you need. I can understand how discouraging it must have been to feel like you were navigating so much of the process on your own, especially when your attempts to get clarification weren't met with the patience and attention you deserved.
I'm also sorry for the added stress surrounding your closing day and the unexpected changes to your insurance costs. Clear communication and setting expectations ahead of time can make a big difference, and I hate to hear that these situations added to your frustration. While I'm glad you were able to achieve your goal of homeownership, I recognize that doesn't take away from the challenges you experienced along the way.
I'd appreciate the opportunity to look into your concerns more closely, including the insurance changes and any questions that may still be unanswered. Please feel free to reach out to my Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
This is the first home i have purchased since 1998. The process was so smooth. My Veterans United team was helpful from the very beginning. They walked me through every step from offer to close, including answering my many questions and helping me understand the process. Contract to close was about 5 weeks with no stress or suprises!
The whole staff operated as a well oiled machines. There were a couple small hiccups, but not that one caused. It’s just part of the process. Highly recommend the group again to anybody that I know is buying home. That’s a veteran.
IMHO, I would employ others to take advantage of this Company. I couldn't be more satisfied. It was like ordering a full meal from soup to nuts and walking away very satisfied. Thanks to all of you concerned.

If you’re trying to buy a home and scared by the whole process. Don’t worry Wendy will make it painless and quick. Any questions you have she will answer them quickly. She really makes your journey to home ownership easier than renting. I advise all Vets to reach out to her and stop waiting.
They were clear on all things I needed to do and supply
I would like to thank Veterans United and everyone else who helped us get this house. My Loan Officer and her team made this experience easy for us. We couldn’t ask for anything else. This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. Thank you so much once again Veterans United. Y’all are First Class Citizens.
The whole team was great to work with. Very caring people that really do want to help you get into your new home. They definitely do whatever they can to help you through the whole process.
Aaron and Anna were awesome. Very knowledgeable and responsive.!!
I would absolutely recommend VU… my friend told me about you and I was so impressed with how smooth things went from start to finish. Excellent customer service and support! Every question was answered and if one person didn’t have the answer they would find someone who did!
Jeananne was absolutely wonderful to work with..she was ALWAYS so friendly..kind.. willing to go the extra mile and most of all very trustworthy with all of our best interests…a true expert at what she does!!!
