Awesome experience made my first time buying great! Broke everything down simple for me to understand and worked with me on everything!
Thank you for a great and smooth home buying experience. I felt very informed and the team helped me understand all the fine details of the process. This truly was an enjoyable experience.
There were a couple of last minute transcript and paperwork request that I had to take off during my work day to get done in time. These could have been addressed earlier. I notified everyone involved that I work out of town when this process started. I had to have my laptop shipped overnight to me because I was in another state. That was not cheap. But we got it done. I just wanted to note this is all. Otherwise everything was good to go!
VU was an excellent partner in getting my loan process done. Very veteran friendly program and easy to use application process and website. Well done!
These folks are fantastic!!!
The pre approval process and the final closing was very easy, with no stress.
The experience was overall positive. We were pleased to find that everyone was knowledgeable and helpful. Each person was efficient and friendly and treated us with the utmost respect. Everyone left their contact information and made sure that we were comfortable during the process.
VU was very informative and forward leaning.
The overall process was outstanding. Every step they work with you, keep you informed, and are prepared to answer any questions you may have. A pleasure to work with from front to back.
Veterans United is easy to use and make sure the you have everything you need to be successful with your VA home loan. I will only recommend Veterans United to all my fellow Soldiers. Nobody comes close to the service they provide
One of the greatest buying experiences in my lifetime.
Absolutely YES I highly recommend this team for your mortgage! They work hard for you and also work together as a team, and that shows.
Steve and Stephanie were fantastic to work with. Very quick to respond and made the process seamless. Our realtor was impressed with Veterans United and let us know! We highly recommend Steve and Stephanie at Veterans United.
Great work! Veterans United made purchasing our home a breeze. No headaches, and no bumps in the road. I love the team for their patience even when we were running out! I want thank Michelle, Jessica, Lindsay, Abbie, Teresa, and most of all Brad Copelin for dealing with us in this Midwest weather. Also the people who help us that I left out and/or didn't mention.
When you open the portal to pay your monthly mortgage and the message says "sorry, we're not functioning" you will never ever get a good reference or referral.
Response from Veterans United
Hey Marie,
I’m really sorry you ran into that kind of issue when trying to make your mortgage payment. That’s not just inconvenient—it’s stressful, especially when you're trying to handle something as important as your home.
Tech problems like that shouldn’t stand in the way of getting things done, and I get why that experience left a bad taste. If you’re still having trouble or just want to talk through what happened, our Client Advocate team would appreciate the chance to connect. You can reach us at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We’re available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST.

What an excellent company. Expertise all around. The best experience in purchasing a home. Helpful through every stage. Will never use anyone else.
Lance Nilson and the Veterans United team repeatedly exceed my highest of expectations! Home buying is a challenging effort involving a huge investment and personal and financial risk. The process is frequently associated with stress, anxiety, and doubt. Veterans United provides buyers with a team wholly dedicated to address those challenges so that buyers are confident and ready for home ownership.Among an industry that requires buyers' leaps of faith, Veterans United requires but a small step. I trust Lance Nilson, Kayla Humphrey, Landon Hoffman, and Deloris Matthews COMPLETLY! They are extraordinarily dedicated and were always ready to answer questions by e-mail, text, or phone and was usually able to anticipate my questions and provided answers before the questions finished forming in my head. I feel as if I'm their only, and most important, client.As a repeat homeowner and a prudent investor, I conduct extensive research to ensure I receive competitive service & products. Veterans United has delivered on multiple occasions and have earned by business and trust in now 3 home purchases. I am most pleased by their promptness, sage advice, support through processes, and ease of communication/processing. Together, the team takes a remarkably complicated and stressful process and simplifies it beyond expectations. Lance and the Veterans United team will continue to be my first call for all future mortgage brokerage needs!
This transaction was a total “Breach of Contract” and Veterans United was fully aware of it. I was used as a pawn due to my age and grief throughout the entire mortgage transaction and no one has come clean about it! I closed without knowing the property tax amount because I was “promised” I would be 100% exempt due to my deceased husband 100% VA Disability status. He passed away on Feb. 13, 2023 in Orlando, FL Trauma Hospital and did not qualify because of a Michigan Law stating he was NOT a MI resident and died in FL! This was disclosed with paperwork, site visits and State phone calls numerous times and again I was promised 100% property tax exemption and if denied the MI Agent would be sued (all in writing.) Right after closing on Nov. 8, 2024 it was “Denied” because of a written Michigan Law that VU failed to read. They told me they would pay 2 years worth of property taxes and lower my interest rate so I could afford the home and Aaron Swanner would fight to appeal the Wyandotte Tax Accessor which would take 17 months. I would have “NEVER” been able to afford the home with property taxes and they knew it! Even my Realtor knew it….I purchased the home on Nov 8, 2024 and SOLD the home on April 8, 2025 because of the inevitable and severe stress and heart problems. I now have Legal insurance and as soon as I feel I can fight this again I will do so accompanied by all of the documents, emails and direct messages because I lost $ a beautiful home, 2 sets of Closing Costs and multiple moves on this horrendous transaction. This is the way you treat your Veterans which I am, you should be ashamed. I ponder how the Secretary of Defense and Media would like to hear my story! The truth will be told and it is NOT over yet! If there was a “-0” rating it would be too good for Veterans United in my case Divided!

Hi Joyce,
I’m so sorry you experienced this. Your story is heartbreaking, and I can’t imagine the level of stress, grief, and financial pressure you’ve had to carry over the past year. A home should be a place of peace—especially after loss—not the source of further heartbreak and uncertainty.
It’s clear you felt unheard and misled throughout the process, and that’s not something I take lightly. I understand you may still be pursuing this further, but if you’re open to a conversation, I’d really like the chance to listen and make sure everything you’ve shared is reviewed thoroughly. Our Client Advocate team is available at 1-800-212-5200 or by email at ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We're here Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, but if you reach out outside those hours, we’ll respond as soon as we can.
Thank you for your service—and for your honesty, even when it’s hard to relive. You deserved better.
We had such a wonderful experience with veterans united! They made the whole process as less stressful as possible! Definitely would recommend them !
The team was super fast in getting everything processed and very helpful on helping me understand everything about the loan
