The whole team at Veterans United was wonderful to work with, they worked hard to help me close as quickly as possible.
The communication was outstanding.
Veterans United is a great place for veterans to contact and work with , if they are serious about buying a home . Good job !
My Veterans United loan officer Greg went above and beyond the call of duty to assist me with the purchase of my new home. Immediately after applying for the loan, Greg reached out within 5 minutes and I was preapproved within 15. I realized his exceptional, meritorious service when he returned all calls as promised. He made countless calls to my finance company, insurance company, etc often holding in queque for an hour or more at times and continued to return calls each and every time as promised. He distinguished himself as an extremely skilled and accomplished professional. He continued to make contact with all necessary agencies until the promised closing date was met, which in my mind was record time of only 3 weeks. Because of Greg I will tell anyone looking to purchase a home with a quality loan company to look no further than Veterans United.
This company is by far one of the best ive dealt with. Made the process so easy and thank everyone e in the team..
Our lender was an incredible help throughout the entire process, and we are truly grateful for all the support. The whole team was efficient, professional, and made everything feel much less stressful. They were always available to answer questions and took the time to explain each step clearly. Communication was excellent, and we always felt informed and confident moving forward. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive lending team.
I absolutely 100% would recommend Veterans why are y’all barking at? Where are you at? Y’all better quit I gotta go. I gotta go potty. NoUnited because they went above and beyond and made sure that we had a smooth and exciting experience. All of the staff were amazing. Thumbs up Veterans United thank you for everything.

At first, Justin and the team were great: personable, detailed, and reassuring, among other qualities. However, as the timeline and progress furthered along, the performance began to degrade. Verbal assurances became dishonored, numbers began changing, etc. I continually asked if there were any further surprises, numbers, or anything else that may change the financial numbers or that could potentially affect the closing costs. I was reassured over and over. Unfortunately, my loan estimate to closing disclosure changed by more than $5,000. Yes, Justin and Veteran's United (VU) added lender credit, but this was only to get me at the rate they had promised from the beginning. Then, when the $5,000 change occurred, after I negotiated my rate back a little bit, more credit was given, but again, only because I was about to walk away when it became apparent I understood that they violated a federal law, which specified certain areas of the loan estimate couldn't change by more than a specific percentage. Regardless, I was supposed to receive my full $4,000 deposit back and ended up only getting $2,200 when all was said and done. I am not the first veteran to buy a condo, so for this lender to be unable to be transparent OR for them to fail to include the correct items on a loan estimate is unprofessional and deceptive, to say the least. I would have backed out, had I been given the chance, but the closing date was the next day. To give context: They were still changing up numbers and not getting it right, up to 4 hours before closing. That is how unfortunate this process was. I should have gone to Navy Federal or another lender. I will not be recommending them to any friends or family and will, in fact, tell fellow service members and others to steer clear of VU. I really had high hopes for them. This is unfortunate.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Derrick,
Thank you for taking the time to share this. I’m genuinely sorry for how stressful and disappointing this experience was, especially after such a strong start. When expectations are set and then change, it can understandably feel like trust was broken, and I hear how frustrating and unsettling that was for you.
You’re absolutely right to expect transparency and consistency throughout the loan process. Changes to numbers late in the timeline, particularly so close to closing, are incredibly stressful and not the experience we want for anyone, especially after you repeatedly asked for clarity and reassurance. I’m sorry we didn’t meet that expectation or give you the confidence you deserved along the way.
I also understand your concerns around the deposit and how those final outcomes felt, given the circumstances and timing. While I can’t address specific details in a public forum, I would really appreciate the opportunity to look into this more closely and better understand what happened from start to finish.
If you’re open to it, please reach out to our Client Advocate team so we can review your loan in detail and make sure your concerns are fully heard. You can contact us at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. Our office hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday, and messages outside those hours are typically responded to the next business day.
I truly regret that this experience fell short of what you expected and hoped for, and I appreciate you being honest about it.
Sincerely,
Claire S.
Client Relations Manager
My loan team was outstanding. They were knowledgeable and patient while I plunged head-first into my home buying adventure. With their help and support I was able to close on my home within 30 days and I couldn't have done it without them.
Great group of people to work with
