My first experience with VU was phenomenal. My second loan experience with them was a bit of a let down. They charged me fees on things that I don't think they should have. All of the small fees add up. When someone is buying a home, they need to save as much as possible. There are way too many unnecessary fees, perhaps VU could downsize its unnecessary personnel and programs, and that would allow it to cut out some of the fees.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Clint,
It means a lot to hear that your first experience with us was phenomenal, which makes it even more disappointing to learn that your second loan did not live up to that standard. I understand how frustrating it can feel when costs add up, especially when you’re trying to be as financially prepared as possible during a home purchase.
Concerns about fees are important. You should always feel clear about what you’re being charged for and why. While many costs in a mortgage transaction are standard or third-party related, that does not lessen the impact they have on you. If anything felt unnecessary or insufficiently explained, that’s something I would want to review.
I’d appreciate the opportunity to take a closer look at your loan details and walk through your concerns with you directly. When you’re ready, please reach out to me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We’re available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, and we’ll respond the next business day if you contact us after hours.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager

My loan officer was outstanding. Very satisfied with the experience.
My parents couldn’t never afford to own a house and here I am in my living room. My living room! Growing up in apartments and moving every few year and now I have a house. Stable house that I own. Words can’t describe how good this feel. The team have been awesome and even with the Covid crisis going on they didn’t miss a beat. I want to thank the team that pushed this through so we could close before it cost us more.
I would definitely recommend Veterans United to any Vet. Aaron and team did a phenomenal job!
Veterans United handled my initial home loan and also took care of my interest rate reduction loan refinancing. The entire team is professional and makes the entire home buying and refinancing processes as easy as possible. The Veterans United portal/app is also very easy to use as well. I would definitely use them again and recommend them highly to any veterans looking to buy or refinance their homes.
Absolutely love working with the people from Vetrans united. Other companies wouldn’t do anything without certain papers and they accepted it and helped pit

Jeff was amazing !
As first-time homebuyers, the process can feel a bit intimidating — but working with Veterans United made all the difference. Anne and the entire Veterans United team were with us every step of the way. They answered every question we had, no matter how big or small, and made sure we felt confident throughout the entire process.They even helped us find the best insurance, and their concierge service is truly top of the line — assisting with all the little details that come with moving to a new location.Without a doubt, choosing Veterans United was 100% the best decision we made. We are so grateful for their guidance, professionalism, and support!
Everyone has been incredibly helpful and polite, and the whole experience went smoother than butter. I was skeptical about the company at first because they asked for some personal information in order to receive a quote, so I naturally gave some bogus answers just to fill in the required slots. Our loan officer called us, and between him and his team, our minds were put at ease. We went from living on a pretend street called "Nunya Business" to closing on our first home. When my husband's orders were put on hold due to SARS-CoV-2, the company was with us every step of the way to make sure we were doing okay. They knew between the limbo with PCS orders and me still working as a nurse, our family was under a bit of stress (as are most others around the world). They sent our family board games to keep us entertained and connected while we were at home as the world went crazy around us. The entire experience has been great, and the team was with us every single step of the way. Veteran's United even supported our decision to get quotes from other lenders as well. After feeling like "just a number" with NFCU, we stuck with Veteran's United because it felt like we were being taken care of like family. If you're on the fence, don't be. Veteran's United is amazing, and we don't regret our decision even for a second!
This is the best company to get a VA loan through. I've used them twice.
Eric Wetz was outstanding from the start to finish. I highly recommend having him as your lender. Professionalism and strong characteristics of customer service. I had a very smooth process with him.
