VU was awesome! They helped us tremendously with getting our home! We would definitely recommend!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! These people know what they are doing and know how to be effective. Thank you for all your help!!!
Very experienced and knowledgeable team! I liked the to do list most of all and the constant follow up calls and mails. It's our 21 years of not having a home and was expecting a long and horrendous process but not Veterans United, you showed professionalism and care to us. I, we would definitely recommend VU!
I had the best experience with my team. I am happy to be a part of the Veterans United Family!
The online portal was extremely helpful. I also liked the checklist as it made the process easy and understandable.
I was hesitant about getting a loan online and buying home without "local help". Veterans United made it easy as pie. Constant communication and assistance every step. If I have to buy another home, I will start with Veterans United.
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
I researched and reviewed many mortgage companies aimed at Veterans. Veterans United was consistently the company that had the highest service and satisfaction rate. I begain my homebuying journey 2 years ago with less than Ideal credit. Veterans United worked with me for over two years to build my credit, purchase my dream home, and guided me throughout the process along with my realtor.Working withMax, Eric, Jill, and Ally was an amazing experience and if you're looking to purchase a home with a VA loan,Veterans United is not if you should work with them, but how soon.
Austin provided me with Great service

Rob and Ashley were amazing! Everything was smooth thanks to them! I couldnt have accomplished my lifetime goal without them!
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!!
I also received help strengthening my credit up and taking care of my weak areas and under my circumstances without them this would not have happened.
Crystaline had a great “can do” vision and was always on the lookout for our best interest and needs. Made this experience pleasant and fun.
