This is my second time using Veterans United, and I can’t express how great my experience was the first time—and even more so the second time. Their team is thorough, quick, and accurate, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I rarely had to wait for responses regarding paperwork or information, and they were extremely informative and transparent about what was happening every step of the way. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to helping veterans truly set them apart. I have suggested, and will continue to suggest, Veterans United to anyone looking for a superior lender that delivers exceptional service and results.

Robert Keeley was also very good. He was very patient with all of the communications and all of the checklist processes. His was diligent in making sure all my information got to the underwriters and helped me understand exactly what they were asking of me. I am thankful for my whole team, to include Laura who stepped in and kept the process moving seamlessly when needed. I never felt like anyone dropped the ball or forgot about me. It truly was a person-centric experience and I look forward with working with the same team when it comes to buying my dream home.

Our lender was an incredible help throughout the entire process, and we are truly grateful for all the support. The whole team was efficient, professional, and made everything feel much less stressful. They were always available to answer questions and took the time to explain each step clearly. Communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and confident moving forward. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive lending team.

Veterans United is unparalleled for home buying. I don't think other companies that say that are VA-backed can do what the people at VU can do. The process was well-detailed. The team I had went above and beyond to help me get my first home and become a homeowner.

VU is out here making dreams come true! I've been working towards this goal off and on for years. Just when I was starting to doubt myself, I received that text that said I had reached my goal to receive my pre approval! I cried tears of joy that day ♥️

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.

Honestly, the entire time their team made us feel like our home buying experience mattered to them. There was a point where Veteran's United should have delegated a different point of contact, (we made an offer on a house the same weekend our loan officer had a baby). Even though he was on paternity leave, the loan officer responded with what we needed to do, albeit concisely.
Later, we had an issue with an appraisal delay. I am pregnant and we'd planned on closing exactly a month before our due date. But we found out the closing was delayed (thanks to the appraisal) the same day I found out from the doctor that baby would need to come out 3 weeks early. When I explained the situation, the mortgage team did everything they could through the holidays to get a closing date sooner than the new baby date. And the day we got approved to close, they sent us a signed card, stuffed animal, and book for the new baby.
