With the problems we encountered on acquiring insurance, I was getting frustrated and close to giving up altogether. Michael and Kelsey encouraged me to stick with it just a little longer and we were finally able to see it through. I've begun moving in and setting up, and am very pleased to have had them helping me through this process.
I wish there was a communication tool in MyVA, to talk to all of my team at once. There were a few times different members called for the same item.
I didn't know how to start the process, but I saw the ad from Veterans United and I'm very glad that I chose them. I've bought houses before, but Veterans United made the process much easier. They did all the work necessary. They found the reality company, made sure that all of our ducks were in a row, and helped with every step and detail.
Starting with shawnee, she was very energetic and excited to work with us on our first home. She made it very easy and painless to transition to nick. Once he took over he was very communicative and let us know when things were going to hit the "to-do's". Everything was great and painless! I will do everything I can to send friends and family this route!Thank you,
It was an outstanding experience working with VU.
I felt like the team did a very thorough job in making sure we were protected during the process. It was a long closing time due to the property circumstances but it was smooth. Everyone worked for us over the course of three months to make our home ownership dream a reality.
This is my second time using the VA home loan process. Approval process was even better this time. The process has significantly improved in recent years. Veterans United provides a valuable service for veterans. You have diligent people involved in your organization, who really care about the customer/veteran. Veterans United is my #1 choice!
I am thrilled to share my experience with Matt Istwan, Brittany Wilhite and the team at Veterans United. From the moment I embarked on my journey to homeownership, Matt was there every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and stress-free process. His unwavering dedication and commitment to excellence surpassed all expectations.Despite his busy schedule, Matt made himself available at all hours, demonstrating a level of attentiveness and support that truly set him apart. His and Brittany’s expertise and guidance were invaluable as they navigated me through the complexities of obtaining a mortgage and closing on my first home.Thanks to Matt's exceptional service, I am now a proud homeowner, and I cannot thank him enough for his outstanding assistance. Thanks to Brittany fast reaction and timely response no paperwork were missed. My satisfaction with their service is beyond measure, and I wholeheartedly recommend Matt, Brittany and the Veterans United Team to anyone in search of a seamless home buying experience.With 100% satisfaction, I am grateful for their outstanding support and professionalism.Warm regards

Love working with Veterans United Home loans. Was a wonderful experience to buy my first home. Would recommend to any vet!!!
Beautiful communication and guidance throughout the complete process.
I felt like a number and a paycheck going through this process. There was an attempt to up sell products that I didn’t ask for like ADT and insurance. I’m not opposed to your company making money, but it felt predatory. I was spending a bunch of money and I was nickeled and dimed at every step to maximize what could be made off me. Like I said I’m not opposed to making money, but should it be at the cost of having a repeat customer? Usually I work with one person throughout the whole process. This was my 5th home purchase and with this deal I was pushed between 3 or 4 people and there was a hard line where I was no longer working with my loan officer. I perceived that after they made their cut I became someone else’s problem. Also in previous deals I wasn’t asked to provide near as much information and documentation. I probably provided two time or more the amount of information and documentation that I had with other lenders. My thoughts were why, is your organization selling it? Then there was the float to lock feature. This apparently isn’t offered and I have to ask why. The final piece was John my loan officer. He was fine in the beginning and as soon as I got pre approval I was handed off to his assistant. This was the first handoff and it wasn’t a red flag, I figured the assistant was learning the ropes. Then he informed my Realtor that Veteran United wouldn’t make closing on March 22nd like the contract stated. I wasn’t upset about that, and was just rolling with the punches. The new closing was scheduled for April 1 and when I had questions about the final contract John got an attitude when I was going over the parts of the contract that weren’t making sense. That was the last straw for me. It is responsible of the company offering the service to gain the confidence of the customer, if the customer asks a bunch of questions it’s the loan officer job to answer those questions and close the deal. I shouldn’t be pressured or be made to feel stupid for wanting to know what I’m getting for all the charges listed or how the math is done when. I’m responsible for a lot of money in this deal and ignorance on my part doesn't negate my responsibility to pay for a fee that was in error or worse.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Corey, thank you for sharing your open and honest feedback. While the assistance from our home buying coordinator is meant to provide ease in ensuring your non loan related items are complete, we understand that was not your resounding impression. Our intent would never to be having you feel anything outside of supported, we apologize that did not happen. While it is standard business practice to transfer loans to a dedicated servicer, we know that can feel pointed. A loan servicing transfer in no way is a reflection on your loan or how much we value you as a customer of Veterans United Home Loans. We understand there can be questions surrounding a loan transfer to a new company, and we want to emphasize that Veterans United staff are still here to support you with assistance if needed. Our goal is to only work with servicers that we have a good working relationship with, which allows us to work together in case of any concerns regarding your loan. We strive to provide consistent service and clear communication across every team in the company, and we believe that we are stronger that way as one team. Our Client Advocate team would love to talk more with you about your experience so that we may take steps to improve the experience wherever possible for future clients.
You guys did great! The entire processes was smooth. The horror stories people hear when buying a house are crazy and you guys removed a lot of the stress of the customer. 👍🏽
My whole experience with VU was great. You made this process seamless and gentle. Thanks.
2023 is our Year! God has blessed us with a beautiful home! And we are overjoyed! We couldn’t have done with Brian Nelson, Raven Henderson, Stephanie Sanders, & Hazel Folkerts! Thank you all for making two Army Veterans dreams come true! “Go Veterans United” “Go Army” & “God Bless us All”
This is my second time using VA home loans for veterans. They're fast,efficient and caring.
Walk you through the process step by step.
Our entire home buying experience was amazing with Veterans United. From the very first steps of working with Schuyler to ensure our credit was on point to going through the pre-approval process with Tyler, and working our way to closing. We truly felt that every person we worked with truly cared about helping us purchase our first home and what was best for our family! While the process can be a bit intimidating and stressful at times, every member of the team did their absolute best to calm our nerves and worked diligently to help us achieve the dream of home ownership!!! I would recommend Veterans United to EVERY veteran looking to purchase a home!
This is my second time buying a house and this time was a lot harder than before but thanks to Mike and his team I can say that they made it seem like it wasn’t that bad after all. I’m super happy with their service.
