This has been a much better experience with VU for this loan (2025) and house buying. We really appreciate the clear communication and timeliness of the team. However, we did not like that the loan/closing documents seemed to be passed on in pieces/stages that were hard to follow. Some documents were sent through the app for completion, but some items were requested later through individual emails. This created some confusion for us, and we would prefer to review/sign as much as possible through the myVU app, or at least have all documents relayed in one email request. Katelynn helped at the last minute, but this last minute communication (Natalie's MDAC and VALD) could have been completed earlier in the process.
The team in a whole did an outstanding job and went the extra mile to ensure me and my family had the help we needed in our last minute pcs decision to purchase a home. They were always extremely nice, helpful and had answers to the questions we had asked. This was our first time purchasing a home and they were they made us feel comfortable and confident in our decision in this major milestone in our life!
VU made the loan experience simple. I especially liked the to do list that was updated regularly. They made document sharing very easy and didn’t over complicate things. We had a small hiccup that was overcome quickly and professionally. They were able to get me a rate and pricing that beat out the competition.
Very efficient, quick and helpful with this group from Veterans United.
Chris hill and his team were exceptionally great, i wanna to thank them for all the help they provided me along the way, they made buying my home a stress free transaction. Thanks again.
Answered, explained and assisted during the while process making the process so much smoother than anticipated.

The team at Veterans United took care of all aspects of my loan, purchase, and move. Most importantly is the level of communication. We were always in contact and any issues that we encountered were addressed quickly.
Blake was very attentive and handled this closing very well..
1. Many of the houses, which I preferred, were unavailable due to Veterans United’s stringent inspection policies. This resulted in me having to settle for a property that didn’t have the appeal that I was interested in.2. My closing cost figures were “all-over-the-place”, resulting in a huge depletion of my cash, credit and savings.3. The website listed the property monthly payments at a little over $640, which turned out to be close to $900It will be a miracle if I can afford to be in the house for 3-months!
Response from Veterans United
Hi Mitchell,
I’m really sorry to hear how overwhelming and disappointing this process felt for you. Buying a home is already a major decision, and when the numbers shift or the homes you’re excited about don’t work out, it can feel like the rug’s been pulled out from under you.
It sounds like a mix of factors left you feeling blindsided—from homes not passing the VA-required standards to closing cost swings and that unexpected jump in your monthly payment. I can absolutely understand how that would shake your confidence, especially when you’re just starting out in a new home and trying to budget for what’s ahead.
I’d really appreciate my team have the chance to look into your file and better understand how everything unfolded. If you’re willing, I’d love to talk one-on-one. You can reach me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We’re in the office from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST Monday through Friday, but feel free to reach out anytime.
Great job.
Veterans United commercials honestly do not do it justice. It's is everything they say and more. I couldn't be any happier with Veterans United and the staff working on the loan. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
The experience with veterans united was great. They make the process so stress free, they walk you through every step of the way. Veterans united was with me and my family all the way until closing.
I felt like my team cared about my success.
Veterans United are great people. They all hit the ground running when I showed interest in being a homeowner. The team walked me, patiently mind you, through every step
