Derek was amazing, super responsive to me and the realtors team! We had one small hiccup and Derek went out of his way to correct the problem with no cost to us!
Kelsey Riggs was amazing with purchasing my home, she walked me through everything. Kelsey was extremely friendly and informative about the process and what was needed to do.
Icannot say enough amazing things about Veterans United—they truly changed my life.
From my very first conversation, their team took the time to thoroughly review my finances and clearly explain every step of the homebuying process. There was never a moment where I felt confused or unsupported. I also completed their education course and regularly watch their YouTube content, which helped me feel informed and empowered throughout this journey.
What really made the experience exceptional was the team I worked with. My loan officer, Carma Bittle, loan coordinator Shannon Brown, and concierge Shawna Woofter actually the entire team was absolutely phenomenal. They answered every single question—no matter how small, repetitive, or anxiety-driven. They were patient, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure I felt confident every step of the way.
Buying a home can be overwhelming, but they made it feel manageable and even exciting. When I received the “clear to close,” I was overwhelmed with emotion—I wanted to scream, but since I was at work, I cried instead. That moment meant everything to me.
If you are a veteran considering homeownership, I highly recommend Veterans United. Their professionalism, education, and genuine care set them apart. This was more than just a transaction—it was a life-changing experience.
We are very pleased with service we received.
Sam, our loan officer, was really instrumental in helping us get connected with an amazing realtor and assisting with the loan side of things. He went above and beyond in even doing research for us and was always responsive.
It started off well enough but in the end because of my loan officer mistake I have to pay an extra $200 a month on my mortgage because he accidentally didn't lock in my rate before the jumped.
I was very fortunate enough to have worked with Austin Butler and his team during my process. I can’t say enough how professional and patience they all were with me. My case was a little more difficult with doing a remote signing, but they got through it with a breeze. When I do buy another house, god willing I hope there still in business. 10/10 would highly recommend.
We are happy that VU worked really hard to get us funded, but the process was really confusing.SUGGESTION
Once a potential buyer or seller qualifies Veteran' United services, then have Gavin (not sure of the position title) to review a checklist of what to expect during the journey i.e. time lines, paperwork, expectations, and an overview of the processes. We didn't know the process.So, we were just asked to sign documents 99.99% of the time that weren't really aware of what we were signing. We took the time to read it --when we could, but when we asked question we received the real estate response, which caused us to research the information online to learn for ourselves.Oftentimes, I did not feel like the responses to my questions were truly addressed and it was confirmed with our closing document.Overall, at a certain point we'd lost faith in the entire journey of owning our home .Although the team never gave up on us, clearer explanations and more patient, supportive communication would greatly improve the experience.Anne and Bri were awesome, but be mindful to show grace.Marie: We would have not did services with VU and I am happy that we were able to change loan officers.
Loved this team! They were amazing! So grateful for their help in the home buying process.

Experience first-hand why 381,437 homeowners give us a perfect score!
From opening bid to closing in 23 days. That speaks for itself.
Austin and team were great! They were all responsive, extremely helpful, and very personable.
I am very pleased with Veterans United. They were easy to work with and I would use and recommend them in the future.
There was 2 great mistakes that put my family in a money hardship. The loan officer Ms Dennis Stroud not informing us, the real estate agent or me until 2 days before closing for the things that need to be fixed (the termite wood) so we can close on the house in time creating an extension in the hotel staying a extra week from August 19 2026 to August 28 2026 that was not in our budget creating a gap in our save money. Also Ms Dennis Spoke to me and gave me the incorrect closing cost estimate. Remember I understand Veterans United is a business but we loosing money it might not mean nothing for your company but for me and my family of 6 is a gap that Ms Dennis Stroud or anyone at Veteran United care about. May be if I was giving any compensation from veterans united like Ms Dennis mentioned privately to someone at least my last week of the hotel stay I will be able to tell all my military comrades that veterans united is a good lender after several people suggested me that veteran united give problems to a lot of people that veterans united don’t compensate clients for viral mistakes and I am another veteran with no compensation after mistakes that mean nothing to Veterans United with ex military veterans like me that live check by check after injury’s in combat. That showed that to Veterans United is just a business bait. Unfortunately I can’t tell anyone that they should get as a lender Veterans United. If at least me and family gets compensates for the week I have to stay in the hotel and when they make a mistake that cost clients money then I can say Veteran United take care of there clients and that the Veterans United name is not just a baited name. I still will wait for my week of compensation.
Response from Veterans United
I’m sorry to hear how stressful this experience was for you and your family, Davies. I understand that unexpected expenses surrounding a delayed closing can have a very real impact on a family’s budget, and I’m sorry you were left feeling that those concerns weren’t heard.
I also hear your concerns about the timing of information you received before closing and the closing cost estimate. I don’t want to discuss the details of your loan or any conversations about compensation publicly, but I would like the opportunity to make sure your concerns are reviewed directly.
Please reach out to me and the Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We’re available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and messages received outside those hours are typically answered the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
