Toby and Grace warrant much higher than a 10 rating. Their exceptional performance, communication and care can't be overstated. This team, My team, has set the bar very high for others to strive for. Amazing team!!

Nick made me feel so safe going through this process. I have trust issues and I can be pretty pessimistic about things, but Nick was wonderful in explaining everything to me, giving me updates on the process at every stage. He really listened to my concerns and focused on allaying them. He was also very proactive preemptive, bringing up questions that I had but hadn’t been able to formulate and verbalize yet. He was kind and approachable without being the overly enthusiastic, over bearing “salesman” type. I could let my guard down.

We were in dire straights, our home had mold and I am disabled from Iraq. We turned to an internet search and we found Veteran's United. We went from a hotel to air bnb, but the team was there with us throughout the wait. Their kind words kept me sane, and my mind at ease. They never said we can't or anything negative to us. Sometimes I thought they were Superheroes. I will sing their praises, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to all my Veteran friends, and once again for me and my wife Katrina, and daughter Peyton thanks for our GREAT home and new lease on life.

I cant even leave a -10 because every single thing about my transaction was a literal nightmare, closing was postponed 4x, told one thing and then another back to back, had to wait on so many people to be out of office, team had a terrible attitude when the issues were THEIR fault, and then left out important information about closing costs that caused the sellers to get into a heated argument with us AT CLOSING over how terrible the experience has been. they turned something that should have been the best moment of my life into THE WORST experience ever.

Response from Veterans United

Hey Angelise,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that your homebuying experience was so frustrating and stressful. Purchasing a home should be an exciting milestone, and it's disappointing to hear that repeated delays, inconsistent communication, and unexpected issues left you feeling let down.

I understand how difficult it can be when expectations change throughout the process, especially when those challenges carry through to closing. We want every borrower to feel informed, supported, and confident along the way, and I'm sorry that wasn't your experience.

I'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened. Please reach out to me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. The Client Advocate team is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST.

Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager

Blake was absolutely exceptional throughout the entire home-buying process. From our first conversation to closing day, he consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track. His communication was outstanding—every call, email, and question was answered quickly, and he always took the time to explain things in a way that was easy to understand.What impressed me most was Blake’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for helping veterans succeed. He never made us feel like just another loan file. Instead, he treated our home purchase like it was personally important to him and worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best experience possible.There were several moments throughout the process where Blake’s knowledge, responsiveness, and problem-solving skills gave us peace of mind. Buying a home can be stressful, but having someone like Blake in your corner makes all the difference. He was proactive, trustworthy, and always one step ahead.Because of Blake and the Veterans United team, my family was able to purchase our dream home with confidence. I cannot say enough good things about the level of service we received. If you’re a veteran looking to buy a home, ask for Blake—you won’t find a better loan officer. Thank you for everything you did for our family and for making this experience such a positive and memorable one.

VU and Chris Hill have got me thru buying four homes throughout my military changes of station. They know me and my family and always come in clutch when I need them the most. They make a stressful life change as stress free as possible.

Mr. Dapkus's team consists of very helpful and hardworking loan specialists, namely Lindsay Doty, Jessica Erb, and Kyle McCune. I hope to have these individuals work with me in the future.

It would be a 10 if not for the high fees.
