This is my second loan with Veterans United. The first time my experience was perfect. Unfortunately, this time it wasn't so great. My original loan officer left for maternity leave, congrats to Erinn she was amazing with my first experience. When the second team took over my loan process it was NOT great! There was a lack of communication from my loan coordinator (Jaclyn). There were several errors made by her that almost cost me the house I was trying to purchase. She gave us the clear to close date and it didn't happen. She supposedly sent the info to the VA for approval on a date only to find out that she sent it six days later. I literally had to call the VA 3 times and do the footwork to get the correct dates and approval conformation. Once the actual loan officer (Kat) from Veterans United got involved the process started moving in the positive direction. It was extremely stressful!! We closed 9 days after the original date. I'm not sure if I would use Veterans United again. I'm only recommending because of my 1st experience with Erinn and the effort that Kat did when she got involved.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Herman,
Thank you for sharing this with me. I’m really glad to hear your first experience with Erinn stood out in such a positive way, but I’m sorry this second loan didn’t live up to that same standard. What you described around communication gaps, timeline confusion, and needing to step in yourself sounds incredibly frustrating, especially during something as important as buying a home.
I’m also sorry for the stress caused by the delay in your clear to close and the closing being pushed back. That kind of uncertainty can make an already complex process feel overwhelming. While I’m glad Kat was able to step in and help move things forward, it’s clear the experience leading up to that point fell short of what you should expect from us.
Your feedback is important, and I’d really like the opportunity to take a closer look at what happened here. If you’re open to it, please reach out so I can review your file in more detail and make sure your concerns are fully addressed. You can contact me directly at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
We’re in the office from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, and if you reach out after hours, we’ll follow up the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
I would recommend Veterans United one thousand percent and then some. They were so communicative throughout the entire process. Never once did I feel as though I did not understand what was happening or lost. Any questions that I did have, they answered and were extremely patient. The entire VU team was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. It made me feel as though this was not my first time buying a home because it felt so natural. I was afraid the process would be long, hard, and maybe someone would pull the wool over my eyes. But the transparency of the VU team made all those fears go away. They truly are in this for the right reasons and it shows. They helped me and my family purchase our first home in less than a month and we are forever grateful and blessed!
Great job and communications, very easy step by step process and overall amazing job with the whole process, thank you

Everyone I encountered from
Start to finish has been above and beyond fullback style, running through obstacles for my personal touchdown!!!! Douglas Lippmann and team is the clear choice if you truly want an incredible positive result and outcome! They worry for you, so you can concentrate on everything else that comes along with this process of home buying. Couldn’t recommend anyone more highly!!
