Daniel, Blair, and the whole Veterans United team were a pleasure to work with. They were very knowledgeable and kind guiding us through our first time purchasing a home.

I was told that I would get $1,400 back from refinancing only got back $400 so I was misled and unhappy with my agent

Response from Veterans United

Hey Burney,
I’m really sorry to hear this experience left you feeling frustrated and unhappy. I can understand how disappointing it would be if the amount you expected back from your refinance didn’t match what you ultimately received.

Oftentimes with a refinance, borrowers may receive a separate escrow refund from their previous mortgage servicer in addition to the funds associated with the new loan. Even so, I understand how important it is for expectations and details to be communicated clearly throughout the process, and I’m sorry this experience left you feeling misled.

I’d be happy to look into this further and review your experience in more detail. If you’re open to it, please reach out to our Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. The Client Advocate team is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday. If you contact us outside those hours, we’ll typically respond the next business day.

Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager

Miles and Nicole did an outstanding job. They both communicated well and were very helpful throughout the entire loan process. Miles would answer questions whenever I asked and was extremely reliable. Nicole was very efficient and kept us all on track with updates and requests for docs.
In a couple of years, when we purchase our next home we will gladly reach out to Miles to use Veterans United again for the loan. It was a very pleasant experience.

I did my first home refinance with them. The whole process was confusing, but they were extremely upfront about all costs and explained everything so I could actually understand it. The other companies I talked to acted like used car salesmen and were shifty about costs; not Veterans United - they treated me like family from the start. 5/5 Dentists would recommend them.

We were very impressed with Courtney and her team. Under the wire with another lender that was not delivering what was promised, Courtney stepped in and wrapped everything up in lightening time. She even managed to get us in at a lower interest rate. My realtor has stated to several people that she will be referring to Courtney and Veterans United any opportunity she has in the future.

I was always under the impression that buying a house would be a very stressful and difficult process. But working with VU completely changed that perspective—it was an unbelievably smooth and straightforward experience. My loan officer, Dustin Johnson, and his team were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout every step. They always kept me informed, answered all my questions promptly, and made sure I understood everything that was happening.Their professionalism and genuine care turned what could have been a nerve-wracking process into something I actually enjoyed. The only downside to closing on my house is that I won’t get to work with Dustin and his team on a daily basis anymore. I truly can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking to buy a home—they made my dream of homeownership a reality, and I’m so grateful for their support.

Veterans United ultimately helped us get our home closed despite a very challenging underwriting situation. Lucas and Brendan stayed responsive throughout the process and worked hard to find solutions when an unexpected lease issue almost delayed the transaction.The process definitely became stressful near closing because of underwriting delays and communication gaps, but once the issue was escalated, the team worked quickly to push everything through. They were able to coordinate with underwriting, review additional documentation, and get us to clear-to-close in time.I especially appreciated that they stayed engaged until funding was completed and continued helping with final conditions right up to closing day.Overall, I’m grateful we were able to close successfully and appreciate the effort the team put in to make it happen.
