I’m kinda old school but Emmett and his team at veterans united made the experience rather effortless and explained every step of the way. Would definitely recommend them to any veteran.

They are an excellent option for utilizing your VA home loan! Charles McKee was my loan officer, and I was incredibly grateful to have him. He was able to connect us to a 5-star reality group that helped us land our first ever home in just 30 days! Him and his team were punctual and hardworking through out our process, and were always available when we needed help! If you have the option to select your loan officer when you work with Veterans United, ask for Charles!

Bill T. and Nicole were great to work with and responded quickly to any and all of our questions. I also was happy with how the on-line portal and app worked. Easy to upload documents and see what was still needed. We recommend Vetrans United whole heartedly! Aaron and Dana

I first reached out to Veterans United, along with a few other lenders, in April 2025 to begin my home-buying journey. At the time, I was going through a transition in my career that affected my ability to qualify for a home. Almost every lender I had spoken with eventually stopped following up with me, except Veterans United.Veterans United was the only lender that stayed in contact with me for nearly a year until I was in a position to move forward with purchasing a home. Veteran’s United was also the only lender willing to pre-qualify us for loan amount we needed at the time given our high DTI. I am very grateful for Don and his team for doing everything he could do to help us get qualified. The follow-ups and check-in messages Don would send throughout the first few months made it feel like a personal connection supporting me towards getting pre qualified. Even though I wasn’t ready to buy yet, he maintained a professional relationship with me and was there when I was finally ready to begin the process.Once I was back on my feet and ready to move forward, Veterans United supported me throughout the entire home-buying process. The team was always easy to reach, professional, and clear about each step and what they needed from me. We were dealing with a short sell so their knowledge made the experience a lot less stressful until our loan was finally approved after 10 months of waiting.I especially want to give a shout-out to Don, Jeremy, and Mia for working with me over the past 18 months. They were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient while helping me navigate both a career transition and a complicated short sale purchase. It was a long journey to becoming a homeowner, and I truly appreciate that the Veterans United team stuck with me from the very beginning all the way through closing. Thank you guys so much!!

Very experienced and knowledgeable team! I liked the to do list most of all and the constant follow up calls and mails. It's our 21 years of not having a home and was expecting a long and horrendous process but not Veterans United, you showed professionalism and care to us. I, we would definitely recommend VU!

If you’re a vet @veteransunited Home Loans is the way to go. Adam and his team were instrumental in getting us all the way to the finish line. I highly recommend them! Their app makes the process so smooth and streamlined, too.

The Veterans United loan team did an amazing job from start to finish! Special thanks to Kendall and Donna for communicating with us through the entire process and kept us informed on what was needed within the short closing time frame. We did it in 14 days and I can’t thank the whole team for making the process so easy and smooth. I truly appreciate all their hard work and would highly recommend this team!

Jamie and Derick were really great to work with. They walked me through all of the steps along the way and were very supportive. I really liked the portal for the loan process. It made everything that I needed to take care of very clear and easy.

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.

Aaron Esterle and the entire team were wonderful from first contact through closing and beyond. They organized everything and checked in thoughtfully along the way. This team brought humanity to the process, something that is missing in many walks of life these days. I could not have asked for a better experience. Well done!
