The communication is outstanding! They assist you every step of the way and keep you informed of signatures required, paperwork, etc. This was quite fast and as painless as refinancing can be. I was dreading doing this, but I would do it again if I could work with Veterans United.

I would like to thank Veterans United for giving me some of the fastest service in the industry and helping me complete my home purchase from beginning to end. The entire process took only 32 days to close. If I exclude the weekends, it took even less time than that. Unbelievable!Mr. Vanamala, your staff was amazing, especially with the communication and follow-up. Everyone was on the same page throughout the entire process.
I financed a home purchase in June 2021, and it took CrossCountry Mortgage two months to get me across the finish line. I am still shocked by how quickly Veterans United was able to get this done.Mr. Vanamala is a top-flight loan officer, hands down. Another advantage he had in his favor was that he knew about the area I wanted to purchase in.
I will always send you referrals to Veterans United because of their highly trained personnel, especially the two people who helped put me on the map. Senior Credit Counselor Ms. Darlene Miller helped me with my credit scores and Mr. Vanamala was my first point of contact regarding my mortgage.Both Mr. Vanamala and I have so much in common, and I really enjoyed working with this young man. His knowledge, top-flight customer service skills and follow-up were amazing and off the charts.
Veterans United has excellent people from top to bottom working for their company. They are all assets to the operation. With my experience in sales, credit, finance, marketing, and other fields, I can say that Mr. Vanamala and Ms. Darlene Miller are hard to find and tough to beat. They are both crown jewels. They are keepers.Thank you again for making my dreams come true. God sent me to your company.Have yourself a spiritual and productive year. I pray that your company stays number one and continues to increase its market share. I will do my part by sending referrals your way and helping you increase your market share in other parts of the country.Warm regards,

Nick made me feel so safe going through this process. I have trust issues and I can be pretty pessimistic about things, but Nick was wonderful in explaining everything to me, giving me updates on the process at every stage. He really listened to my concerns and focused on allaying them. He was also very proactive preemptive, bringing up questions that I had but hadn’t been able to formulate and verbalize yet. He was kind and approachable without being the overly enthusiastic, over bearing “salesman” type. I could let my guard down.

This is the second house she helped me get. The process was quick and easy and Madison actually cares about me. Hard to find service like that. And I know because I sell cars and I provide world class service!

Thank you to Kris at Veterans United! He helped us through our home buying process, and provided us with the necessary information needed to purchase our home. Kris answered all our questions in a timely manner, and was super patient with us in the early stages before submitting an offer. Once the offer was submitted, Kris worked diligently - along with Levi the senior loan officer, in ensuring we submitted everything necessary to get our home loan approved on time! Thank you again to Kris and Levi for all the help in finding and purchasing our first home!

There were some hick-ups along the way that made the experience more stressful than it needed to be, from misquoting rates (then countering with it being a rate for a different lock period), to CD disparities (162% above the LE). There were also some missed calls where the loan officer said he'd call to discuss documents and then never did call. They spelled my name wrong on at least two documents (not sure who in the process, but it's all connected). I would still recommend VU, but would spell out what to look for that I ran into along the way. Rates are some of the best out there.

Response from Veterans United

Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback Terrence. I’m glad there were parts of your experience that earned your recommendation, but I’m sorry the process was more stressful than it needed to be.

Clear communication and accurate information matter throughout the homebuying process, so I understand why the concerns you described with rate information, disclosures, documents, and missed follow-up would be frustrating. I’d appreciate the opportunity to take a closer look at your experience and any concerns that may still be outstanding.

Please reach out to my Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. The team is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday. Messages received outside those hours are typically answered the next business day.

Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager

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.

Blake was absolutely great to work with! This was our first time home buying and we have heard horror stories over the years. Blake called us on our time when we were both available to be part of the conversation, he answered any and all questions we had, was very knowledgeable, and walked us through everything. It felt like such a seamless process.

When we contacted Veterans United the process was pleasant from getting our preapproval letter to closing on our new home. Everyone is very professional with the information and courtesy for any questions and concerns.

Another deal closed without a lot of complications! The VU Portal is one of the best tools available. It kept the entire process organized by clearly showing my assigned tasks and tracking them as they were completed. Whenever an issue arose, I was notified immediately, which allowed me to respond quickly and keep everything moving forward efficiently. I would absolutely use VU again and highly recommend it! Ross and his team are amazing‼️

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.

Kedric was absolutely outstanding throughout the entire mortgage process. He was professional, knowledgeable, responsive and always made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. Buying a home can be stressful, but Kedric made the financing side feel easy and manageable.He was always available to answer questions, explain details and keep everything moving forward. I truly felt like he was looking out for my best interests and was personally invested in making sure everything went smoothly.I couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage lender. Kedric went above and beyond. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to finance a home. He provided exceptional service from start to finish!Thank you Kedric!
