VU made it really easy to for my to understand what I needed to do.
All I can say, is that if you’re lucky enough to get Mike on your team, your experience will be even better. Veterans United Home Loans is seriously the best loan company to go through and they really have your back. They answer your questions and don’t abandon you when you’ve locked in a home and are closing or in that process. They’re supportive and answer all questions quickly and take care of a LOT of things on their end to make your life easier. I will always recommend. Thank you for helping me obtain my forever home, because I’m so tired of moving constantly and so is my family. You gave us that peace.
Rylee was superb! Communicated, explained, and was very kind and understanding.
Sheldon Turek and Danielle Hays did get me to closing. Thats the only good thing. We closed a week late which cost me almost over 5k in debts. Danielle told me to forward the costs to see if they can help. Forward the receipts and get told it will delay closing even longer.The beginning was Sheldon making promises and talking big game which later seemed didnt hold together until i called a million times to try and get ahold of him. Still seems shaky at best. My loan coordinator changed atleast 3 times. They only coordinate via email which is awful and kept me guessing what i need to do. The app and the to dos sometimes are not clear. If I need to do something I expect the people trying to get my business reaching out to me via phone call to make sure i provide the necessary things to close on time.4th time buying a house and by far this was the hardest. If you need to reach them Goodluck, you're gonna get passed around.Got them to call me like a requested when I made threats to report them to the head of the VA to blacklist their company.Do not recommend va united.
I had Veterans United a few years ago, due to moving, I have to change lenders; however, I have been waiting for the interest to change to move back to Veterans United. That is how much I think about the people who work for this company. I am so glad to be back.
With Veterans United the closing cost were higher. There were no grants offered.I really feel like I got taken advantaged of and ripped off.There were people that were part of the team that were not needed and I never utilized. So they got part of the closing cost.I also plan on posting on social media about how Veterans United took advantage of me.
I'll make sure to share with active Military, Veterans, Freemasonions, the Fraternal Order of Police, and whoever else will listen.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Eric,
I’m really sorry to read how this experience left you feeling taken advantage of. That’s incredibly upsetting, and I understand why higher closing costs, especially without grant options, would feel discouraging and unfair. I also hear your frustration around feeling like there were people involved who didn’t add value or support for you.
I want to be clear that taking advantage of anyone is never our intention, and I’m sorry that’s how this came across. Closing costs and available assistance can vary based on a number of factors, and we should always do a better job explaining what applies and why, so nothing feels unexpected or unnecessary.
Your feedback matters, and I’d truly like the chance to understand what happened and help address your concerns directly. Our Client Advocate team is here to listen and review this with you. You can reach them at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. Messages outside those hours are typically returned the next business day.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
I had a pleasurable experience with Veterans United and even after closing on the home, they said they would be there for any questions I would have. My whole team has been great even through the delays by the seller. I would recommend Veterans United to any veterans looking to use their VA loan to buy a house.
This is my second deal with VU. There is nothing I would change to make it any smoother I had a mortgage and they notified me when I was eligible and rates were favorable for me to cut my payments by $333!! They called me!!! Can’t wait to do it again. Thank you
It was a rough start but ended with a successful accomplishment
I was always under the impression that buying a house would be a very stressful and difficult process. But working with VU completely changed that perspective—it was an unbelievably smooth and straightforward experience. My loan officer, Dustin Johnson, and his team were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout every step. They always kept me informed, answered all my questions promptly, and made sure I understood everything that was happening.Their professionalism and genuine care turned what could have been a nerve-wracking process into something I actually enjoyed. The only downside to closing on my house is that I won’t get to work with Dustin and his team on a daily basis anymore. I truly can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking to buy a home—they made my dream of homeownership a reality, and I’m so grateful for their support.
Zachary was awesome, always on top of everything, fast to respond. Great with explaining things for me to understand. 10/10 experience.
Outstanding!!!!!!!! All those involved walked us thru every step and gave great advice. I had my certificate since November 1981 and never thought of buying a house until now. My wife and I were looking into buying a mobile homes in a park and then I remembered my certificate and decided on a real house instead. You all were SO amazing THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED, you did yourselves PROUD!!!!!!!Again my wife and I thank you all!🫡🫡
