Very attentive and explained what was going on every step of the way which I really appreciated.
As a first-time homebuyer, I expected a smoother and more transparent process than what I experienced. Unfortunately, communication and organization were lacking throughout my loan process.I strongly prefer email communication, but despite multiple requests, I was almost always met with voicemails instead. This made it harder to keep track of important information. I was sent several versions of the same documents to sign, which was confusing. At one point, I was even asked to re-verify my employment just two days before closing—something I wish I had been warned about much earlier in the process.Even more concerning, I personally caught a $10,000 error in my closing costs just five days before closing. When I brought this up, instead of recognizing it as their mistake, the team initially discussed restructuring my loan to include the additional fees. Only later did they realize it was an error on their end. That kind of oversight is unacceptable, especially when clients are paying fees for document preparation.As a first-time buyer, it would have made a huge difference to have a clear timeline of what documents to expect, when to expect them, and even guidance on things like taking time off work for closing.On a positive note, every interaction I had with staff was friendly and courteous. However, the lack of consistent communication and upfront explanation made what should have been an exciting milestone into a stressful and confusing experience. Veterans United could greatly improve by focusing on clear, timely communication—especially for those navigating the home-buying process for the first time.
Until the VA, the Appraiser and Veterans United can get on the same page there will always be too many set backs.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Danny,
I’m sorry the process felt weighed down by setbacks. I know how frustrating it can be when different parts of the process don’t feel in sync. The VA appraisal’s role is to look at the property’s value at face value, but it isn’t the same as a full home inspection, which can help buyers catch more details earlier on. I understand that doesn’t make the experience easier, and I’d like to hear more about what happened. Our Client Advocate team is here for you at ClientAdvocate@vu.com or 1-800-212-5200.
Veterans united is the best and easiest to work with will definitely use again
Big shout out to Justin and Jared for helping us buy our first home! We are so happy! Thank you for making the process so easy and smooth!
Kyle Black, Jon McCarty were amazing and incredibly helpful.
Thank you very much!! Smooth as can be on my end!!
Great Process!!!
The best experience making a home purchase you could possibly have.
Mike and Shawna was always quick with an answer to whatever question I had. They were very supportive, calling and walking me through the parts I didn't understand. I always felt like I was their only client.
I would absolutely recommend that any veteran considering buying a home speaks with Veterans United!
Incredibly helpful. Answered all our dumb questions.

They were all up front and very responsive! I never didn't know what to do they were always on it and helped us find a home within 3 months. I loved my team!
Veterans United was an absolute pleasure to work with. My loan officer was transparent, communicative, and great to work with throughout the process. The loan coordinator was responsive, clear, and concise in what was required of me, and great overall. I am so thankful to have worked with the team that I did to help get me into my first house! 10/10 recommend!
Veterans United made it possible for us to achieve something we thought was impossible, from setting us up with the lighthouse program to get my credit where it needed to be (thank you Charlie Holobach), to the final paperwork, they made this process a lot easier.
