This is my second time using Veterans United for a home purchase, and I would use them again!
A great company to use if you want your hand held aggressively some steps of the way while being seemingly ignored during others.They seem to have little understanding of the complexities associated with a short sale, and will expect you to rush rush rush their deadlines while acting nonchalantly when you need something done on a timeline.For a company that seemingly specialized in VA loans, they don’t seem to fully grasp that military members don’t always operate on a M-F, 9-5 schedule, like they do, and frequently act annoyed/confused when you let them know that certain tasks will be accomplished as soon as a military member working 12 hour night shifts is able to review them.I suppose the only positive aspect of the experience was the relatively low interest rate (after not explaining rate buy down with points and that this was how we record our low rate), and the fantastic realtor that they recommended. Otherwise, a mediocre experience, at best.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Zachery,
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry the process left you feeling rushed at some points and unsupported at others. A short sale can already bring additional moving pieces, and trying to navigate those while working 12-hour night shifts only makes clear communication and flexibility that much more important.
We should be helping make the process easier to understand, including conversations around deadlines, rates, and points. I’m sorry you walked away feeling like those conversations weren’t as clear or considerate of your schedule as they should have been.
I’m glad your realtor was a bright spot in the experience, and I appreciate you being candid about where we fell short. If you’d like to talk through your experience further, our Client Advocate team can be reached at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
Take care,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Nate, Jake, and Colby were all outstanding.
Outstanding service in a difficult housing market. They gave us rapid responses to our messages and the document process was clear and easy to use.
I was referred by a friend and the praise lived up to the hype. Great experience
As a dual inter service military family, transition can be extremely difficult. However, we have used Veterans United once more to purchase our 3rd home. Our loan officer Billy Jones and the entire support team made the process completely seamless.
They were responsive, patient, and walked us through every single step with total transparency. Whenever we needed clarity or had a last-minute question, they were right there with expert guidance and a reassuring attitude. Thank you for helping us with another cross-country transition.
Great service and team
Excellent people helping us through the process
Veterans United helped me exceptionally with the step-by-step home buying process! The staff were very friendly, diligent in their work and informative about everything I didn't quite understand as a home buyer.
For a first time home buyer, I definitely did not feel like I was getting all the help. I wish my loan officer never changed. Hayley was great she called and made sure I was good before we even started looking at houses. Then they changed my loan officer and we had no communication until I reached out to our new loan officer. Realtor also did not make it fun to buy a home. If anything, it was more stressful to look and buy a home. It felt like we did all the work for the loan officer and realtor. Everyone else on the team was great.
I was disappointed with how things, especially buying my first home. Wish I had a better experience.
Dene Lorenzen is the best! Her dedication and passion to truly help veterans get into their homes is inspiring! Dene was always quick to answer any questions we had, always made clear what was needed!I have purchased a handful of homes throughout the years and never have I came across anyone with more dedication than Dene!
It was a stressful process, nonetheless Corey got us on the right track and lower APR, he put in the work 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great experience working with Andy Strubel and his team. Good communication and support along the way, especially with my unique situation.
Andy was fantastic to work with throughout our home‑buying journey. He explained every step of the process clearly, walked us through all of our loan options, and made sure we understood the pros and cons of each choice. His communication was consistent, his guidance was reassuring, and he proved to be a true asset to our team from start to finish. We’re grateful for his support and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dependable loan officer.
