There are moments in life that you’ll never forget, and purchasing my home is one of them. I can say without hesitation that Veterans United exceeded every expectation I had. From the very beginning until the day I closed, I was treated with professionalism, respect, honesty, and genuine care. At no point did I ever feel like I was just another customer—I felt like I had an entire team that was personally invested in helping me succeed.I want to sincerely recognize my incredible team: Thomas Hall, my Loan Officer; Christie Thomason, my Transactions Coordinator; and Gavin, my Home Buying Concierge. Each of them played a vital role in making this experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.Thomas Hall was simply outstanding. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication were evident in every conversation. He was always available to answer my questions, explain every detail, and provide reassurance whenever I needed it. He never made me feel rushed and consistently went above and beyond to make sure I understood every step of the process. His commitment to serving Veterans is something that should make Veterans United extremely proud.Christie Thomason was exceptional from start to finish. She kept everything organized, ensured every document and deadline stayed on track, and communicated with incredible professionalism and kindness. She made what could have been an overwhelming process feel effortless. Her attention to detail and ability to stay ahead of every step gave me tremendous confidence throughout the transaction.Gavin, my Home Buying Concierge, was equally phenomenal. He checked in regularly, made sure I had the resources I needed, and genuinely cared about my experience. His positive attitude, responsiveness, and willingness to help made a lasting impression.What impressed me most wasn’t just how knowledgeable this team was—it was how much they genuinely cared. Every phone call, every email, and every interaction reflected a team that takes tremendous pride in serving Veterans and helping families achieve homeownership. That kind of dedication can’t be taught; it comes from people who truly love what they do.Because of this team, what could have been one of the most stressful experiences of my life became one of the most exciting and rewarding. I would recommend Veterans United without hesitation to every Veteran, service member, and military family I know.To the leadership at Veterans United: this team represents the very best of your organization. Thomas Hall, Christie Thomason, and Gavin exemplify professionalism, integrity, compassion, and excellence in customer service. Employees like these don’t just meet expectations—they redefine them. They deserve to be recognized because they made a lifelong dream become a reality.Thank you, Thomas, Christie, Gavin, and everyone at Veterans United. I will never forget what you did for me, and I will proudly recommend Veterans United to every Veteran I meet.

The whole process was made so easy by VU! From pre-qualification, helping me find a realtor, and closing within 30 days of my dream home, they helped every single step.

Outstanding experience start to finish. The VU team was professional and responsive. Bennett was very helpful. It was a pleasure working with him. If we buy another home we will reach out to VU first.

I am rating my experience a 3 solely due to the service provided by Ashley (I would give her a 10/10 if I could alone). She was professional, empathetic, and highly supportive throughout a stressful process. Unfortunately, the rest of my experience was met with communication failures and a breach of trust regarding my grievance handling that greatly impacted the rest of closing.1. Communication & Responsiveness: There was a two-month gap in communication regarding interest rates, alongside miscommunications regarding the appraisal order.2. Unprofessional Demeanor: Interactions with Ali frequently felt condescending and defensive rather than customer focused.3. Breach of Trust & Process Failure: Due to my discomfort with the communication dynamic, I contacted the Veterans Advocate line to file a confidential complaint. I requested anonymity to avoid retaliation or awkwardness during the remaining closing process. The advocate assured me they would route my communication through Ashley without alerting Ali. This trust was broken. The advocate contacted both Ali and Ashley, framing my feedback as simply "being upset over an email."4. Defensive Confrontation: When the rate lock call occurred (which required Ali's licensing to execute), the call began with Ali spending over six minutes defending her previous email. I was blindsided by this discussion, as she should not have been aware of my “anonymous” complaint. When I attempted to respond, I was repeatedly interrupted by her. She would not listen to me speak and I ended up having a panic attack. Ashley was a witness to this call. As an experienced homebuyer familiar with new construction, I found this defensive approach highly unprofessional.I recommend Ashley for recognition, she truly understood the home buyer’s perspective. She salvaged this stressful process, and she is the only reason this rating is not lower. Respectfully recommend management to review the communication and grievance protocols of the rest of the team.

Response from Veterans United

Hi Amanda,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I'm grateful you recognized Ashley for the care, professionalism, and support she provided throughout your homebuying journey. I'll be sure your kind words are shared with her.

I'm truly sorry to hear that the rest of your experience left you feeling unheard and that your concerns about communication and the complaint process added to an already stressful time. I understand how important trust is throughout the homebuying process, and I'm sorry your experience did not meet those expectations.

Your feedback is important, and I'd welcome the opportunity to learn more about your experience. If you're willing, please reach out to me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. The Client Advocate team is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time. If you contact us outside those hours, we'll typically respond the next business day.

Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager

I'm very glad I chose Veterans United to purchase my first home. The whole home buying process seemed very overwhelming but they somehow made it understandable in bite size pieces. I was super anxious and lost at the beginning and they held my hand at each step. With their insurance brokerage, I found cheaper auto, home, and flood insurance.

Drennan and his team went above and beyond to get us over the finish line. Even with last minute changes at the eleventh hour, they were able to modify things to our benefit. When we purchase our next home they will be our first call.
