My wife and I had an outstanding experience with everyone at Veterans United. Robert Sweeton and Juston Jasenowski were exceptional—supportive, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our refinance process smooth. They helped turn what could have been a stressful experience into an easy, reassuring one for both of us.
Working with Kevin Witherspoon Jr was an outstanding experience! He navigated the entire process for us in a way that made it pretty much stress free.
This was our 1st home purchase and it was completely pain free . The whole loan process was a lot easier than I thought it would be. A big thank you to Ben Pritchard for getting us the loan & answering our questions & concerns. A big thank you to Erin West too! She made this whole process a lot easier for us. A big Bravo Zulu to the whole VU team that made this happen. Thank you all !
Luke Thurman did an outstanding job helping us understand all quantitive information for this home loan. We greatly appreciate the time he took taking a few of our unplanned phone calls and patience as we likely asked him the same question he's heard for 1,000,000th time.
Everyone was responsive and kept me informed. All forms were easy to access.
Ready to see for yourself?
Experience first-hand why 381,829 homeowners give us a perfect score!
Professional and easy to work with, it’s been very informative as first time home buyers.
Everyone was extremely helpful and guided me along the way.
The process was good, though at times it seemed the communication on the exact numbers did not get through to all of you at Vets United, even when we sent those numbers ourselves. Maybe it was the builder who was not forthcoming with proper documentation to you on time with correct information. Your attentiveness is appreciated, as that did keep us apprised of timelines and paperwork needed so this loan could fund.
A huge thank you to you and your team!
By the way, the sign you sent is beautiful! We will be hanging it soon, (as soon as I find the right box with the stuff that I need to hang it!).
Home buying can be stressful especially when you’re juggling regular life with a bunch of kids. Understanding the lending process let alone a VA Loan was a lot of work (for me). Veterans United made the process simple and my loan officer, Rachel was outstanding! Made the process simple. Clearly communicated every step of the way. And fought for our best interests when the seller was committed to their own best interests. I’d recommend Rachel and Veterans United in a heartbeat.
I would definitely recommend Veterans United to another veteran..
Kelly Herigon was very helpful. She answered my questions thoroughly, even after business hours. She gave me good information to help me make the best decisions during the loan process.
Kyle was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and available. He thought me a lot about the process and helped answer every question I had. He also went above and beyond and helped steer me financially by breaking down IRRL's, Interest rate buy down, and amortization calculators. Showed me all viable options and gave me the numbers so I could make the best informed decisions. 10/10 will be recommending him to my friends int he future.
As a first-time home buyer and young active-duty servicemember, I can't praise Veteran's United highly enough. Their team made what seemed like a daunting undertaking in finding and financing a home really very easy! I'd recommend Veteran's United to anyone in the military looking to buy a home.
From the beginning Aimee Hall was outstanding in getting me prepared to buy and very professional throughout the entire process. She deserves a raise!
It’s unclear who the main point of contact is. It becomes very confusing when you don’t know who you’re supposed to speak to because the person you’re told to contact says it isn’t them, and you’re routed to different people. This makes it hard, especially when you’re already stressed, trying not to get screwed over, and the company seems very disorganized. I think they should do a better job of explaining that they are not connected to the government or veteran affairs in any way. I also believe there could be a clearer way to communicate with clients so they know who they’re supposed to contact. Overall, I think this is the biggest issue so far, and I wouldn’t recommend this company because of the confusion, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through that.

Hi Justin,
I can understand how frustrating it must be to feel like you're being passed from person to person without knowing who to turn to for answers. The homebuying process can be stressful enough without added confusion about who is handling your questions or concerns. I'm sorry that the communication you've experienced has left you feeling uncertain and unsupported.
I also appreciate you sharing your concerns about understanding Veterans United's relationship with the VA. While Veterans United is a private lender and not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs, I understand how important it is for that distinction to be clear from the beginning. You deserve transparency and guidance throughout the process, and I'm sorry that hasn't been your experience.
I'd welcome the opportunity to learn more about your concerns and help provide some clarity moving forward. Please feel free to reach out to my Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
I worked with Tammy H. at Puyallup WA branch and i had a very poor experience. She displayed impatience when answering questions and used a condescending tone.
At time i would had appreciated more direct guidance from my loan officer to walk me through one of the biggest financial decision on my family lives, rather than figuring it out the requirements and process of my loan by myself.
She also relied heavily on the VA app to read and learn about the loan process on my own.
No explanation no effort to help me understand my own loan. That made me feel dismissed. Communication was almost non-existent. I received several calls from your WI branch about internet ,home moving services, insurance, she never mentioned this in advance so i had no idea why i was been contacted so i had no context of these calls.
The only visit at her office (requested by me)one of my questions was "why you use the middle lowest FICO score to allocate the interest rate "I was told "because that's the way it is", i was hoping for bit more explanation to help me understand, she made no effort to actually explain the process.
One of the most stressful part was closing/signing day we also found out we needed to bring a cashier check .This was never communicated prior, which caused a very stressful last minute scramble.
Additionally , i got my homeowner and car insurance in Sep 2nd. trough VA in WI.I signed, agreed to the payments and was even charged for one month even though coverage did not start until Sep.28th.Then 3-4 days ago i received a text saying the zip code was mistyped and now my premium has gone up by $34 .They also texted "sorry for the mistake but we are glad were able to fix it" which was disappointing given that it was an error on your end that increased my cost .
I appreciate all that Veterans United does for veterans(i have 2 Navy Veterans Sons)and i am grateful for my home, but overall i felt the personal support and communication could have been better.
( even today communication is bad, i texted her yesterday morning with a question regarding earnest money and no answer yet).
Response from Veterans United
Hi Marco,
I'm sorry to hear that your experience left you feeling unsupported during such an important milestone for your family. Buying a home comes with plenty of questions, and you should feel comfortable asking them and confident that you're receiving the guidance you need. I can understand how discouraging it must have been to feel like you were navigating so much of the process on your own, especially when your attempts to get clarification weren't met with the patience and attention you deserved.
I'm also sorry for the added stress surrounding your closing day and the unexpected changes to your insurance costs. Clear communication and setting expectations ahead of time can make a big difference, and I hate to hear that these situations added to your frustration. While I'm glad you were able to achieve your goal of homeownership, I recognize that doesn't take away from the challenges you experienced along the way.
I'd appreciate the opportunity to look into your concerns more closely, including the insurance changes and any questions that may still be unanswered. Please feel free to reach out to my Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
