Find a different bank! I suggest Navy Federal Credit Union. As a member of any branch of the military, you can work with Navy Federal Credit Union. I made the mistake of working with Veterans United. The amount of people calling me from day one was overwhelming. I sometimes wasn't sure who I was supposed to ask certain questions. The loan coordinator did not coordinate very well with the closing agent/title person. I was told my closing cost, then it changed. Then the day of closing it was a lot more than I had been told. Apparently, Veterans United had the numbers wrong. I'm still not sure it's right, but I signed the papers anyhow because I wanted it to be over. The closing documents should have been ready at least 3 days before the planned closing date. Not getting the closing packet to the closing agent until 24 hours before closing was just completely inconsiderate...especially considering that the numbers were wrong and needed to be reworked. When I walked into the office for closing, they still did not have the final paperwork. I had to sign into my account on my phone and there was a document waiting for me to sign before we could move forward with closing. This should have been done days prior. I was moving from a great distance and wanted to do a remote/online closing, but was not able because the paperwork from Veterans United was not done in a timely manner. My overall experience was chaotic and unorganized. I should not have had to pass messages from the lender to the realtor and the closing agent. Someone from VU should have been communicating closely with them to ensure all was completed. This should have been a seamless experience for me. It wasn't.

Great communication and support throughout the entire home buying process. Veterans United made it easy to purchase our home
Everyone was great and had alot of motivation when they spoke to me it made me feel good about everything and encouraged,
Veterans united has been amazing since day one. This was our first time buying a home and we weren't sure who to go with , but so thankful we chose Veterand United Home loans! Our loan officer Jon was fantastic. He helped us tremendously and answered all of our questions and made us feel at ease through the process. We got paired with a realtor, which we didn't know was a part of the veterans united process, and she was absolutely fantastic. The whole homebuying team we got paired with did an amazing job and was very thorough and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way.
As a first time home buyer, Veteran United made it easy for us to get our first home. Great teamwork and customer service friendly throughout the process. Thank you Veteran United. We love our home.

I was referred by another Veteran to work with Veterans United. I was a little scared and overwhelmed because for me it was a big purchase. I decided to go with Veterans United because I’m a Veteran and I knew they would be knowledgeable on the information I needed. From beginning to the end every thing ran smoothly. Thank you very much for all your help!!! Now I get to order furniture and sit back and relax. Instead of renting I am now investing in this beautiful home that I can call mine now. I’m a very happy customer 😊
Purchasing a new home in this era was very tedious. The last time we purchased a home I did the required paperwork myself and it only took three days. In todays climate that’s impossible. Perhaps this stems back to the housing debacle when everyone with a job,any job, was qualified to own their own home. At any rate my advice to any prospective homebuyer is to hire a respectable realtor and get a home inspection in addition to the required appraisal.
