The whole team with United was very awesome. I will tell other Veterans about you. Thanks
John and the team were outstanding during the loan process. By far the best experience I have ever had with a mortgage company.
I would absolutely recommend any veteran seeking to purchase a home to give Veterans United a call. They are completely focused on making the stressful parts of the home buying process as transparent, and easy as possible.
The loan team did a great job.
My VU home team are amazing and completely took care of me . The service they provided was extremely helpful and I’m so grateful for the amount of care taken to help through the whole process!
Sam and his team were outstanding. My home buying experience was quick and everything went smoothly
I didn't think home buying would be so easy. I was honestly dreading the process, but VU took care of everything and kept me on track. I will always use Veterans United in the future!
Lora Grenier did an awesome job as loan coordinator but between my Loan officer Abbie and my realtor Rhonda, I have never felt like more of a middle man in my life. The feed back and follow up communication was cast into the days of telegram. There were more questions than answers. When Lora sent out the email list by name and responsibilities the items that needed to be completed, out of my control.. I had no response from the responsible parties, Abbie, Rhonda. I had to actually ask for documents with a possible follow up from Abbie or Rhonda days later. I don’t mind doing a little leg work but if I’m not privy to the info as a buyer I should be informed of when a document is moved forward, this was not the case. After waiting for days to see if a task had been completed, I would follow up, only to be told everything was taken care of and then a week later it turns out it wasn’t. No one was on the same page. Because of this fumbling, we missed closing date twice and finally we were able to close the third time around, but didn’t have the actual date and time until the afternoon before. Luckily the sellers didn’t back out after this total mess. I found the process to be shaky and unresolved at times I found the value in my time to be worthless. I think the shortcomings of this company are its ability to communicate in a reasonable time frame with clarity, feedback, and resolve. I felt good coming in but I felt left in the dark at the end with a big congratulations. Good customer service has become hard for many companies to pass on to the consumers and I feel the same here. Do better, hire better, more ambitious, competent, and considerate employees would greatly change a guys mind. Personally I don’t think folks strive to do a bad job but if it’s your job, do it well. I understand this may sound harsh but the truth is your scope of work is your scope of work… do that work and you cannot fail. Folks spend a lot of money here and the last thing some average joe working his butt to make a life wants to do is your job. I will not recommend this company to any, friend, family members, or employees of mine. Bad taste in my mouth.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. I’m glad to hear Lora made a positive impression and worked hard to help keep things moving, but I’m very sorry the overall experience left you feeling frustrated, unsupported, and stuck in the middle of communication gaps throughout the process.
I can understand how discouraging it would be to repeatedly follow up on items outside of your control, especially when timelines continued to shift and expectations weren’t clearly communicated. Buying a home should feel coordinated and transparent, and I’m sorry that wasn’t your experience here. Missing closing dates and receiving last-minute updates only adds more stress to an already important and emotional process.
Your comments about communication, follow-through, and clarity are important, and I appreciate you being honest about how this experience impacted your trust in our team. I also recognize how much time, effort, and energy goes into purchasing a home, and I’m sorry you were left feeling like your time and concerns were not valued appropriately.
I’d appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experience and review the concerns you raised. If you’re willing, please reach out to me directly at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. The Client Advocate team is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, and messages received outside those hours are typically returned the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Everyone worked together as a team from start to finish.
I feel Stephanie and Katy made this an easy smooth process, and Rae in finance made that part easy.
Matt and his team were professionals and communication was great.
OMG!!! The experience I had with Veterans United and my Loan officer Mr. Steve was an amazing experience. From the time I got pre-approved to my closing date I never felt I was alone in the process. I was made to feel like I was my loan officer and Real Estate Agents only customers. No questions that I had went unanswered. I would recommend my entire team to anybody. The whole process was just too easy to be true to me at times. I'm grateful for ALL the hard work that was put in to ensure that I got into my dream home.
Honest, professional staff and great customer service.
It was a pleasure working the Veterans United team. They were very responsive throughout the process and always left our conversation with "is there anything else we can do for you". The process was flawless right up to our closing the loan. I will definitely recommend Heather Carmichael and her team to potential customers with a 5+ STAR RATING.
From my Heart, Soul, Mind, there isn't a greater team as I had. Wouldn't stop, given up isn't a word to them. They stuck by me and my Daughter to the end. They are God sent for anyone who needs help. Blessing, Peace, Love to them all, God Bless.
