The team I was working with was disorganized and had me repeat signing documents multiple times. When it came to closing week, we had to push back the closing date after being told all documents were ready and me traveling across the country with all of our belongings. I was still signing credit check paperwork on the day we were originally supposed to close. We were effectively homeless for 5 days from our original closing day and at least they compensated me for the Uhual rental. Why I would recommend, the past 2 times I worked with VU everything was smooth and went perfect, this time, it was just a horrible experience.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Carlos,
I’m really sorry this was your experience, especially knowing you’d had smooth, positive experiences with us in the past. That contrast alone makes this even more frustrating, and I understand why this felt so disappointing.
Having to re-sign documents multiple times and being told everything was ready, only to have the closing pushed back during the week you traveled across the country with your belongings, is incredibly disruptive. Being asked to sign credit check paperwork on what should have been closing day is not how this process should feel, and I’m sorry for the stress and uncertainty that caused. Being left without a place to land for several days only adds to that, and I can see how overwhelming that must have been.
While I’m glad some of the immediate expenses were addressed, that doesn’t take away from how disorganized and exhausting this experience sounds. Your feedback is important, especially given your history with Veterans United, and it’s something we take seriously.
If you’re open to it, I’d appreciate the opportunity to look into this further and make sure your concerns are fully understood. Our Client Advocate team can be reached 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 outside those hours are typically responded to the next business day.
Thank you for taking the time to share this and for your past trust in us, even though this experience missed the mark.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Process was easy and streamlined. I especially enjoyed the convenience of the app for quick to-do list references and a place to view completed documentation if needed.
With my limited finances I was doubtful at times. But Jason and the team made it work for me. My realtor, Mason Harward was akin to an old friend, honest and looking out for me.
As a first time home buyer, I went through a rollercoaster of emotions throughout this process. Lance Hopper and his team went out of their way to make sure I knew what to expect through the process. I even had a family emergency during this process that put things on pause. The first thing that Lance said to me was take care of family and we'll still be here. Throughout this process, I did not just feel like another number with Veterans United. As a Marine, I have always had a mentality of "get things done"....but with Veterans United, they made sure I was prepared for the whole process.
It was a rough start but ended with a successful accomplishment
Timeline was kept as initially stated. No hidden Surprises or changes. All well done and professional. Thanks for keeping us informed with all the steps along the way.
I've truly enjoyed being a Veterans United customer over the years. Everyone from my loan officer to my concierge have been so professional and polite. It makes a difference when service stands out, and the people at Veterans United are all above board. Thanks guys.
Everyone who had a professional part of our home buying we give 5 stars.
Thank you Ryan, Dalton, Jordan and Chanel.
You all made it possible, and we cannot thank you enough for making the experience awesome.

This is my third time working with VU and this was the easiest and smoothes process I have experienced. Doug and the team are great at what they do.
Very happy with them.
Veterans United was a great experience. I would recommend them to any veteran who is buying a house. I will use them again if I buy a new house
They made buying a home is easy as it could possibly be and kept me informed with a wealth of information outstanding
This is the 3rd time we have used Veterans United to purchase our home. I wouldn’t consider using anyone else! Absolutely the most simple and stress free Lender I have ever worked with! 👍🏻
everything went outstanding !!! Thank You.
It’s the best loan to pick. I had a great team every step of the way. If u had to buy a home again I would choose Veterans United Home Loans. They always answered all my questions and keep me in the loop for any changes needed on my loan application.
The process of purchasing my first home was swift and smooth. any questions that I endured was answered with detailed explanation and the update of my process was as fast as possible. I never went wondering.
Chris Hill from Veterans United was amazing throughout the entire process. Buying a home is stressful but a lot of that was alleviated by the team at veterans united.
