Made the home buying process incredibly easy!
I have nothing but great things to say, never felt more comfortable in this process working with my team. I say my team because that's how we felt and were treated from day one. Every member was awesome with every question and concern we had. Its how every veteran should be treated. Thank you so much!
Great to work with. Did not have any problems at all. Great experience
I cant thank Randy and Zachary and Bae Ellis, for all their help during this process. This was my second house so there were some hurdles I new my wife and I would need to navigate through, but with the help of this team, it was such a enjoyable process. So if i could I would give more than a 10.
Veterans United is top notch for sure! From the loans process to the special appreciation gifts extended to me, I am so grateful I worked with them to secure my home loan. Eric Johnson, Brittany Miller, and Brittany Lucy are a fantastic team and it is very apparent they have the veteran's best interest in mind every step of the way. Not once did I ever feel alone or left out of the loop. I could call Eric Johnson or Brittany Miller at any time of the day or week (or weekend) for answers to my questions or concerns. I always felt they would work extremely hard to ensure I received answers. They added a sense of "fun" to this home buying journey and for that I appreciate them! I will definitely recommend family and friends to Veterans United and more specifically to this fantastic team. Thanks so much for all your hard work!
Great job to the team that was assigned too me.
Corey Bichel was amazing. Because of him I was able to close on a complex loan. I had used VU before only to be disappointed at a last minute rejection from underwriting despite another loan company approving me. This time Corey got some basic details and was instantly able to find a solution despite another loan company saying it wasn’t possible. Huge help and got the close. Thanks.
We started off with good communication but within a week things started going down hill. My loan servicing officer was no longer at the company so for a few days my communication was going nowhere, and I was sending things into the void. I was eventually notified when I called and asked if we were still doing business or if I needed to start looking elsewhere. It seemed like I needed to initiate all further communication for the remainder of the process and felt like a second class individual and not a priority. Nothing from Veterans United was proactive, but every message they did send included the passive aggressive threat that "I could delay the process if I didn't respond in a timely manner". I had to re-explain things from previous interactions, re-send documents that were already in my file, and explain basic economic topics to help underwriters understand very routine things about military members and military retirement. Throughout the entire process I didn't feel like I was dealing with anyone that actually had experience with the military community. Additionally the return and feedback on items was time consuming. I would provide all documents and answers within minutes to hours of a request only to wait days for any response or acknowledgement. Overall we were left being held up by a water test because documentation wasn't being shared or followed between the servicing team and the underwriters and the underwriters didn't understand basic principles or well water or testing procedures requiring additional and unnecessary clarification from myself and the real estate agent. At the end of the transaction the taxes and escrow payment from the closing were not sent in a timely manner to the insurance agent leading to me receiving a bill for something that was supposed to be paid at the closing (that I provided closing funds for) and my 2025 tax statements are still messed up between Veterans United and the company they sold my mortgage to in early 2026. All of this made the experience quite painful and something I would not want to repeat.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Patrick,
Thank you for taking the time to share all of this. I’m truly sorry for how frustrating and exhausting this experience sounds. What started off well should not have unraveled the way you described.
Losing your loan officer without clear communication and leaving you feeling like your messages were going into the void is not acceptable. You should never have to question whether you’re still being taken care of or feel like you have to chase down updates just to keep your loan moving. I’m also very sorry that our follow-ups felt one-sided or threatening. That is not the tone we aim to set, and I understand how that would add stress rather than clarity.
It’s especially concerning to hear that you had to repeatedly resend documents, re-explain prior conversations, and clarify routine aspects of military income and retirement. Serving the military community is at the heart of what we do, and you should have felt confident that you were working with a team that understood that world. Falling short there is disappointing to hear.
The delays around the water test, communication gaps between teams, and the escrow and tax issues after closing add another layer of frustration. Even when loans are transferred, you should not be left sorting out confusion about payments, insurance, or tax reporting on your own. I’m really sorry this has continued beyond closing.
I would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to look into this more closely and better understand what happened at each stage. If you’re open to connecting, please reach out to me directly at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. Our Client Advocate team is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, and we typically respond the next business day if contacted after hours.
Thank you again for your candid feedback.
Sincerely,

Seriously guys thank you so so much its the best feeling in the world to know I have a home for my beautiful family and it wouldn't been possible with out yal . I highly recommend each team member ! I think veterans united should give each member a raise and a bonus !
At first I wasn't sure if this was going to end up at a dead end. However, once I spoke with a representative it become easier by each day. I thought it was very convenient to have a secure and confidential account to keep personal information used in the process of buying a home. There were lots of tasks to complete each day, allowing the client achievable tasks to accomplish inorder to purchase a home. It can be overwhelming at times, which are necessary. I'm very confident in all agents who worked together to fulfilling my dream of purchasing a home become a reality!
Debbie was amazing to work with throughout the whole process!
