I felt fully prepared on my closing day. The payment was exactly what I was told. I was always able to get a quick answer from my loan specialist during the entire process.
Lindsey Miller was always very prompt with replies, friendly and helpful.This has been a great experience!
Other than the snafu at the end, which unfortunately makes it stick in my head a bit more, I could not have asked for a better experience!
If I had to purchase another home it would be with Veterans United.!!
I would go with a local mortgage company. You will be able to come and go to receive info , and get things moving faster.

Excellent service!
Started the process very early (3 months) in advance so that most paperwork could be completed early. Was told that once my firm job offer was received, it would take underwriting about 5 days to approve the loan. Once I received the “final document” it took an additional 4 weeks and a plethora of documents to close on the loan, most of which could have been prepared and provided to me during the first two months. During this time I had to resubmit several documents which had been previously submitted and “green checked” as reviewed and accepted. This lender does not understand lateral job transfers between federal agencies, and that you are continuously on the fed. payrolls without break in service when you transfer. This was my fourth house purchase using a VA loan, and by far the most difficult experience. The only reason Joe didn’t get 10 is because it took a week for him to order the appraisal after I called to order it, and because his assistant seemed extremely disorganized and confused every time I spoke to her about about loan documents and status. It was easier to resubmit documents at her request than to argue that it was already received and approved in the online system. Anytime I spoke to Joe directly he was very helpful, and easy to work with, however most contact was with assistant, which proved to be somewhat frustrating.

Recommend using Veterans for your loan needs. The folks are professional and flexible to our military needs.
Overall the process went well. We hit a significant snag with underwriting and communication could have been much better with this department.
Veterans United website and app keeps you up to date everyday on the process and progress of your mortgage.
They really do have exceptional team spirit and coordination.
