Jeff and Destin were very patient with me and my wife in our decision-making for our new home. I would love to send them praise and say thank you for being so patient and helpful on all Scales.
OK, so, I have always preferred renting for the convenience, but then about a year ago I was somehow inspired to buy a home, if I could find the right now. I h ad stumbled onto VU and had contacted them with my interest in doing a VA loan, which would be my first. My best friend "sister" and I spent months trying to find one close to her house, (My mom has dementia and I am her caregiver and my friend and her family have helped me care for her and she has become part of their family) Unfortunately, they were all high priced and still a bit away distance-wise, so we kind of tabled it for another time. For anyone who doesn't think prayer works, they might want to recheck that! A mutual friend of ours owned a house literally across the street, and one day she told us that she and her husband were going to move back to TX and they decided to finally sell the house. Once my friend told her about me wanting it, she didn't even list it, instead doing a FSBO, which took out the middle man. I contacted Alec and crew to tell him I had finally found a house and he was so excited for me! He literally took care of everything and brought in Elizabeth and Blake to hold my hand through the process, which took less than a month! When they said they were going to do something, they did it and with high quality caring. They found a title company locally that also was awesome with very helpful and attentive people. They even had gotten a beautiful sign made for my craft room! It was one of the very few times in my life that I have done business with an organization/company where it was obvious these people had answered a calling to do this and genuinely loved it. They are an example of what customer care (aka service) is supposed to be like. I've been an RN for over 30 years, and a psychotherapist for over 7 years, so I know first hand the importance of making sure my clients feel taken care of. I have their phone numbers starred in my contact list, and whenever I meet a fellow Veteran wanting to purchase, Veterans United will be THE first company, and they will be the first names I give out. Somebody, please give these folks a raise, or at least a nice Christmas bonus!
Thanks for everything and Merry Christmas!

Communication between team members was weak. Thorough communication with us was nearly non-existent. We would get a short text messages on Fridays just before VU’s office closed making it impossible to ask for clarification. We would send emails asking questions only to get short responses that didn’t address several touch-points in our questions. We would call throughout the week only to be sent to voicemail each time with return calls rarely returned. We would get a quick email or text saying that someone would call us the next day. Sometimes it would be several days later before we finally got some answers. We were pushed off to different people throughout this process, never knowing who to contact for sure. We were told that Jack (Jackson) was our POC, then to only call Nathan, then back to Jack….finally ending with Kayla. Granted this was a difficult loan. We were unaware that my deceased brother was listed on the deed and had to go through a short probate. All in all, the lack of informative communication was excruciatingly lacking. Mind you, we weren’t being helicopter clients, we had legitimate concerns and questions that were left open for a week or more at a time.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Nevada,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I'm sorry the communication throughout your loan process left you feeling frustrated and unsure of who to turn to for answers. Buying a home can be stressful enough, especially when unexpected challenges arise, and you deserved clear, timely communication along the way.
I understand how discouraging it must have been to repeatedly reach out with questions, only to receive limited responses or wait days for clarification. While some loans involve additional complexities, that doesn't make consistent communication any less important. I'm sorry your experience fell short of those expectations.
I'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened and share your feedback with the appropriate teams. Please reach out to my Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. I'm hopeful we can have a meaningful conversation about your experience.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Luke Thurman did an outstanding job helping us understand all quantitive information for this home loan. We greatly appreciate the time he took taking a few of our unplanned phone calls and patience as we likely asked him the same question he's heard for 1,000,000th time.
Ryan and Desi made me feel so supported throughout this journey. Both are amazing at customer service and deserve to be recognized for all their hard work they put in going above and beyond, particularly given the unique circumstances of my situation, to help me close my loan!I will definitely recommend my fellow veterans to VETERANS UNITED and I look forward to calling Ryan and Desi at VETERANS UNITED for future services!
Eric and his team were amazing. They were thorough and efficient. I really appreciate every member that helped make this home buying process so simple. Thank you

Brandon and his team worked to help us each step of the way even when thigs dident go as planed he helped get us where we needed to be at. Very knowledgeable. We appreciate our team so very much
Travis and his team did an amazing job! The preapproval was faster than I expected and then they were very patient since I still had a few months before I could start house hunting and actually put in an offer due to apartment lease agreement. This was my first time buying a home and they walked me through every step of the process. They stated in touch and gave me great advice throughout the entire process as well as staying right on top of any last-minute paperwork changes due to closing date being moved twice. Highly recommend Travis and his team!!
Zach, Britney, and Gavin were all really helpful and made the process easier than I imagined. Everything was super smooth and they were always there to reassure me of any uncertainty. I also truly appreciated the house closing gift. It was very thoughtful.
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.
They all rock!!!
