Good morning,I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional work provided by Jake Hanson and his team. They made the entire home refinance process seamless and ensured every detail was handled perfectly. Having worked with Jake for nearly seven years, I can attest that he is a consummate professional who truly excels at what he does. Because of this experience, I will remain a loyal Veterans United customer.I would also like to recognize Brooke Mudd for her outstanding support. She answered all of my questions without hesitation, and her guidance was impeccable. Both Jake and Brooke are absolute rockstars who represent Veterans United incredibly well; I highly recommend them for any future promotion opportunities.Lastly, I would like to thank everyone else involved in the process, including the underwriting staff, title and escrow teams, and the notary assigned to my closing.Have a great day!Best regards,Eric Williams
The VU team did an outstanding job with supporting me through the loan process. They provided all the details or answered any questions or concerns that I had during the process. I highly recommend Veterans United for veterans looking to purchase a home. Such a great group of professionals!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Chase and team, thank you!
The Veterans United team was excellent to work with and made the refinancing process smooth and easy. Carrie Freeman and Nina Eacker were very professional and friendly. They are a great asset to you and for future Veterans United clients. Thanks so much for being great and for the wonderful t-shirt!
Stephen, Erin, Camron, & Jesse along with your recommended Realtor Ophelia were Amazing. I cry tears of joy knowing I had the BEST. They all kept me grounded. And for that I love each and everyone of them. Thank You all so very much again. GOD is Good.
Sincerely,
Mel
Charlie was excellent for us from the first call. I would rate him a solid 10. Once our account was transferred to Carrie (the assistant) it went downhill from there. We received numerous requests for the same information. (Requests that in previous home purchases or refinances they were able to get on their own). My company boss received so many requests for the same info they called me and said it needed to stop.COMMUNICATION was almost non-existent. If you didn't check the dashboard, you would miss things that needed to be done. The assistant did not attempt to follow-up or check in and rarely answered the phone. If she was in charge of our refinance, we would have stopped the process and went elsewhere.The biggest problem is that I went from a regular W2 employee for 10 years with the same company to a 1099 employee with the same company with no financial or position changes. They did not know how to deal with that. So, if you are a 1099 employee BEWARE. You may need to look elsewhere.The Underwriter they assigned us was terrible. Our to-do list grew by the day.In short, yes, I would recommend Veteran's United because they did get the job done - eventually.
Response from Veterans United
Hi John,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. I’m really glad to hear Charlie made a strong first impression and took great care of you early on. I’m also sorry that the experience became frustrating once your file moved forward. Repeated requests, lack of follow-up, and unclear communication are not what we want for anyone, and I can understand how exhausting that must have been.
Your comments about the 1099 transition are especially important. Even when someone’s role and income are stable, that shift can add complexity, and it’s clear we didn’t make that process feel as smooth or well-managed as it should have. I’m also sorry for the added stress caused by the growing to-do list and underwriting experience.
I do appreciate you sticking with us through it and acknowledging that the loan ultimately closed, but I hear you that it took longer and felt harder than expected. I’d really like the chance to look into this further and share your feedback with the right teams. If you’re open to it, our Client Advocate team would be happy to connect. You can reach us 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 returned the next business day.
Thank you again for your honesty and for giving us the opportunity to learn from your experience.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Kelly was there for me from the beginning in Oct and Nov when I began the house hunting process. Then Blain joined Kelly to make the process of purchasing my home so easy. I would most certainly recommend Kelly Stephens and Veterans United!

Ryan and Kimmy were both amazing at helping with the process and keeping me informed.
Veterans United is a great start for veterans looking to buy a home. Straight forward and the guidance through the process is awesome.
Easy access to upload any and all documents, fast responses and processing, top notch communication. Easiest home buying experience I have ever had (7th house)
The team that I had was very professional, yet personable. Kept me up to date on my “to do list”. Thank you guys and all the best to you. MERRY CHRISTMAS
