Everyone was amazing and I will definitely recommend veterans united to anyone who ask. My only somewhat issue was the first person I spoke to was Dane and he was great but somewhere along the line I was switched to Jake and he was great but it was kinda confusing especially when you’re getting use to and comfortable talking with someone and then they kind of pass you off to someone.
To start off I’d like to say this was one of the most painful lenders I’ve ever chosen to use. The loan officer was more of a car salesmen than someone trying to get my refinance closed out. But really the person who I’d say was very unhelpful was Michelle Zeller. Not only did it seem like she was apathetic the entire process. Her and Jeff would not answer the phone. Instead id usually get a text reply or a “sorry I didn’t even see your message on the phone”. Then when I’d ask if there was anything I needed she would say “well I need some stuff from your HOA and the title company. But I haven’t heard back, maybe you could call?” Really? Me call? I’m fairly certain by the way that she would not reach out to anyone by phone. Judging from when I called these companies. They referred to her emails. Which never received certain emails she claimed to me to have sent to them. But a 45 day close that I asked to have moved as quickly as possible turned into a 52 day close for what seemed like no reason other than them not trying to get anything done faster than their 9-5 required. TLDR they moved slowly, didn’t answer the phone and I’m fairly certain gave me the run around when they finally did respond to me. The reason I didn’t not give a 1/10 is because it closed and I didn’t have to start the process over.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Andrew,
I’m really sorry to hear how stressful this refinance felt for you. When you’re trying to move things along quickly and you’re not getting the communication or clarity you expect, it can make the whole process feel much harder than it should. I understand why the delays and difficulty reaching the team left you so frustrated.
I’d really appreciate the chance for my team to review what happened and make sure your concerns are fully heard. If you’re open to talking more, you can reach me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. My team is here from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and if you reach out after hours we’ll typically follow up the next business day.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m here if you’d like to walk through it together.
Veterans United is the only way to go! Every single person I interacted with was truly exceptional; in knowledge, customer service, experience and efficiency. As a first time home buyer, they made the process as smooth as possible for my husband and I. We always knew what was expected from us and if I had a question, it was answered promptly! I worked with Kindra during our process of building our credit up to purchase, Ginny as our loan officer and Brett as our loan coordinator. I can't say enough about this team! They worked with my husband and I from start to finish and made us feel like family. This is an experience I will remember fondly for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for giving us such great service!

This experience was magnificently efficient, pleasant and incredibly informative! Everybody was extremely professional and patient with me. I've never done anything like this before, but I can't imagine doing it without the help of such a fine group of people.
I just love the team that worked with me and my wife they were extremely helpful - friendly I thank everyone very much we are extremely happy with our house if I hear of anyone needing a VA loan I will recommend this team you all have a very merry Christmas and a Happy New year
Absolutely top notch guidance and communication from each team member I dealt with. The main thing I forgot was to have consistent patience with the process; especially with repeat questions/clarification if there is an unusual situation with your move.Thank you to David, Chris, and everyone else that helped us through this process!!
Veterans United helped me to obtain my dream of homeownership. It was a positive experience, and the lighthouse credit program was very informative. The program and the representative helped me to change my perspective on credit and credit bureaus. I highly recommend Veterans United to others because everyone, from the lighthouse representative, loan officer, and concierge, was knowledgeable, responsive, and professional throughout the process.
The entire process from applying to closing was extremely easy. The team was attentive to all aspects of owning our first home, from running numbers for us, to finding the best insurance and even getting set up with utilities, just to name a few. Using Veterans United I don't see how you could be disappointed.
The people at veterans United are very helpful and thorough in their process. I am very happy with the results.
