First, Madison does Not return phone calls. This is very frustrating. I sent in a letter from the mortgage company on my previous home that had in bold black letters, PAID IN FULL. The day before closing, I was asked to DocuSign a statement saying that my current house was paid in full. The closing statement wasn't sent to me until the day before the closing and then we had to wait another 3 days to close. I specifically stated that I had to close on or before October 1, 2025. Your employees and their lack of attention to detail kept this from happening. Also, on September 23, 2025, I sent photos of the water heater line being encased in conduit and the drain line draining to the outside of the house. I was asked about when the repair was going to be done the day before the theoretical closing.I do not appreciate having to resend documents because your employees are negligent in their jobs. I have previously bought and sold 9 houses and 3 pieces of property. I have never received such poor service from a mortgage company.At this point, I would never recommend your company to an enemy, and certainly not to a friend. This is the worst mortgage experience that I have ever had.
Response from Veterans United
Hey Annette,
I’m really sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your loan process. The stress and frustration you described around communication, document handling, and closing delays aren’t what we want for anyone working with us. You should always feel informed and supported, especially as closing approaches.
Sometimes additional verification is needed right before closing to confirm details or meet loan requirements, but that shouldn’t come at the cost of clear and timely communication. I’m sorry that didn’t happen here.
I’d like my team to take a look more closely into your experience and make sure your feedback is shared with the right teams. Please reach out to me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com when you have a moment. Our team is available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST.
For home buyers using the VA home loan, I think VU is a great choice; they understand the process very well and walked us through it. The online portal/to-do lists were also straightforward and easy to use. The only hiccups we had related to the underwriting process; the underwriters seemed to struggle with keeping straight who was the primary and who was the coborrower, who was the veteran and who was active duty, etc.
This is our pu4chase through VU. Thank you all for making the process smooth both times.

My wife and I was and still is impressed with the customer service and help in buying our first home using Veterans United services. The care and respect given to veterans is platinum. They seem to care for the whole veteran and not just a number. We were kept informed throughout the whole process and if I had a question it was not a bother them if I called several times a day or throughout the week. And I fill that we had the best team Veteran United has. Awesome is defined as extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear. It also should include Jimmy Stranz, Ashley Stratman and Corey Sublett. They made our first time home buying experience seamless. WHAT A TEAM!!!!! Thanks From The Williams Family

The overall experience was a long but greay one, thanks to all the people, Kedric, Morgan, Lin, Collin, Adrian, and, Michelle that helped and guided us through this process...they all did a wonderful job.
Quick and effective communication. Definitely kept me in the loop on everything
I have never had such a great experience with a new home purchase until now. My team was lead by Lindsey Edgell (Loan Officer), along with Kari Frank (Loan Coordinator), and (Chris Cole) Home Buying Concierge. Combined, they made my loan approval experience smooth and successful. They rode this process by my side all the way. I would highly recommend Veterans United to handle your home loan.
This was a great home buying experience. The process moved quickly and efficiently. Matt and his team were a great help.
Nathan and Bailey were great and very quick with the process and answered every question I had.

Veterans United will be the anchor - the rock - that maintains your excitement in buying a home. Home buying, to me, was an experience that could have been ripped from the script of Dante's Inferno, somewhere near Limbo. There was so much uncertainty, but Veterans United personnel, like Chad, Ryan, and others which were equally helpful, assured me that the train was on the tracks, and headed in the right direction. Heaping praise on them is nice, but what is truly important is to know that they are highly trained, and very good at their jobs! Trusting them is all that I needed to do in order for the weight of the experience to be lifted from my shoulders, and for joy to be the dominate force.When Veterans United pairs you with a professional, that person is there to serve veterans like like you, me, and in at least one case, their selves. I am currently moving in to my new home, thanks to Veterans United and their team. A special thank you to my realtor, Ceci Bonneckson as well.
I have used Veteran's United several times and have been and continue to be extremely satisfied with their professional personal service. From my view, there is no better organization to work with for my Mortgage needs. Very Very Pleased
I cannot believe how easy working with my VU team was! I was so nervous about the home buying process (this was my first) and using my VA benefits. I was expecting my information to get brokered out and have a million people call me wanting my money. BOY WAS I WRONG! I’ve already recommended VU to my vet friends!
