While I appreciate the benefits of using Veterans United, my loan officer, Spencer, and my loan coordinator, Julie, were terrible to work with.
- They were impossible to reach when I had questions. Although, if they called or texted with a question, I would get back to them and then try to ask my question and be left without a response again.
- Julie did not understand my income, which caused a delay in my closing. I explained it four times over a period of about a month, but she didn’t understand how travel contracts work, and she kept calling me a travel nurse, but I’m a travel CT Tech.
- I only spoke on the phone with Spencer like 4 or 5 times throughout the whole process because he was never available. Once my closing was delayed because of him and Julie, I called three times in a row and he just texted me “I’ll call when I can” with no sense of urgency.
- Because there was a discrepancy with closing costs, Spencer’s first idea was to increase my interest rate by 1.4%. Luckily, my real estate agent offered to lower their commission so I could keep my rate, but I was unimpressed with the first option being to increase my burden.
- Spencer assured us that if we increased our rate the day before closing, it would work, but it actually triggered a disclosure error that would have delayed our closing by another three business days. Luckily my real estate agent knew this, which is when she offered to lower her commission. I was unimpressed that Spencer didn’t know the error would occur.
- When I finally did close, no thanks to them, I received a message the following day from Spencer congratulating me that my loan was funded, but I knew that because it happened a day before and I already closed.
Julie and Spencer really seemed like they had never done this job before, and had no interest in learning it.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Jose.
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience. I can understand how disappointing it must have been to feel like your questions were going unanswered, especially while navigating unexpected delays and concerns so close to closing. I'm sorry the communication and support you received left you feeling this way.
You should feel confident that your loan team understands your unique circumstances and is keeping you informed throughout the process. Having to repeatedly explain your employment situation, struggle to get timely answers, and navigate last-minute changes to your loan terms understandably added stress to an already complicated process. I hate to hear that these challenges overshadowed what should have been an exciting milestone.
I appreciate you bringing these concerns to my attention and would welcome the opportunity to look into your experience more closely. If you're open to discussing this further, please reach out to my Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager

Matthew and his team were awesome. They kept me updated throughout the process and made sure I knew where we were at during the process.
Exceptional experience!
Schandler and his team were phenomenal in helping my husband and I find a home at the best rates and in very efficient time! We both were extremely please with the entire process and would 500% recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home!!
We were in dire straights, our home had mold and I am disabled from Iraq. We turned to an internet search and we found Veteran's United. We went from a hotel to air bnb, but the team was there with us throughout the wait. Their kind words kept me sane, and my mind at ease. They never said we can't or anything negative to us. Sometimes I thought they were Superheroes. I will sing their praises, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to all my Veteran friends, and once again for me and my wife Katrina, and daughter Peyton thanks for our GREAT home and new lease on life.

Arlo Topping stuck with us through the whole process, he actually went overboard for us, many times, even when we thought we’d wore him out.
Thanks so much arlo!
Gerald and Joann Greene.
Everyone was a great help and effective at guiding me towards my goal. Friendly and professional with the experience necessary to help answer any questions asked.
The veterans united team was amazing. Montgomery was exceptional. Thanks for everything!
Eric, your team have been phenomenal and pleasant to work with. All the information you all gave made the buying experience go smoothly. Thank you for everything you all have helped us with. Even the realtor Nicole was so pleasant to work with and had a lot of patience with us. Thank you again to you and all your people.
Thank you all for helping me out with this process. Getting out of California seemed like it was never going to happen and I'm glad I picked up the phone and called you.
Everyone was very knowledgeable and always available to answer questions. They also responded very quickly.
Our loan office and staff were great and always kept us informed as the progress moved on.
Smooth, quick and easy process. I must give a special Thanks to my loan officer Blake because he was patient with me even when I was indecisive. I literally contacted him randomly after starting the process about 1 year and 4 months ago and said hey I want a house now and he picked up right where we left off and got me my home in less than a month. I don’t think it could get any better than that. I would definitely recommend my team to my friends and family.
Everyone was fabulous. This was my first home purchase. As a female veteran I'm frequently not counted as worthy of my benefits. Absolutely no one at this company made me feel badly. The teamwork between your group and my realtor definitely met my Navy standards. Thank you all so much.
