Working with Brice at Veterans United was an absolute blessing. As a first-time homebuyer navigating this journey on my own after divorce, I was honestly nervous about the process—but Brice made everything feel manageable and even exciting. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, patient, and truly a steady guide through every step.What stood out most was how attentive and supportive he was—not just with me, but with making sure my daughter and I felt confident and cared for the entire way. Thanks to Brice, we’re now in our beautiful new home, living the American dream once again.If you're looking for a lender who is organized, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your success, I can't recommend Veterans United—or Brice—highly enough!
Lance and his team did an awesome job! Every step of the way he made sure we not only understood but gave us advice. We are not just another number, I fell like we are family. I know that sounds cliche, but it’s the truth! Thank yall so much for everything!

Communication could have been better. There were a lot of unanswered calls and emails.
The entire team from VU, Tyler Dunn, Jens Foreman, Vickie Bell and of course the true professional that made this whole process as painless as she could possibly make it, our real estate agent Lora Rousseau who found our perfect home for us! We owe a debt of gratitude to this amazing team of professionals for getting us into our home in an incredibly short period of time. Thank you, VU Team! Your services come highly recommended by us!
Trey Barrow and his team went the extra mile to provide us with excellent service, would highly recommend, thx again Trey!
The team that worked with us on our home loan was outstanding. Randy Groner, Lisa Shrum, and Jodi Herzog made our application process as easy as possible. Extremely professional.
To start off I’d like to say this was one of the most painful lenders I’ve ever chosen to use. The loan officer was more of a car salesmen than someone trying to get my refinance closed out. But really the person who I’d say was very unhelpful was Michelle Zeller. Not only did it seem like she was apathetic the entire process. Her and Jeff would not answer the phone. Instead id usually get a text reply or a “sorry I didn’t even see your message on the phone”. Then when I’d ask if there was anything I needed she would say “well I need some stuff from your HOA and the title company. But I haven’t heard back, maybe you could call?” Really? Me call? I’m fairly certain by the way that she would not reach out to anyone by phone. Judging from when I called these companies. They referred to her emails. Which never received certain emails she claimed to me to have sent to them. But a 45 day close that I asked to have moved as quickly as possible turned into a 52 day close for what seemed like no reason other than them not trying to get anything done faster than their 9-5 required. TLDR they moved slowly, didn’t answer the phone and I’m fairly certain gave me the run around when they finally did respond to me. The reason I didn’t not give a 1/10 is because it closed and I didn’t have to start the process over.

Hi Andrew,
I’m really sorry to hear how stressful this refinance felt for you. When you’re trying to move things along quickly and you’re not getting the communication or clarity you expect, it can make the whole process feel much harder than it should. I understand why the delays and difficulty reaching the team left you so frustrated.
I’d really appreciate the chance for my team to review what happened and make sure your concerns are fully heard. If you’re open to talking more, you can reach me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. My team is here from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and if you reach out after hours we’ll typically follow up the next business day.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m here if you’d like to walk through it together.
VU is a great option for first time home buyers (and it was for my first home purchase) but if you may have some complicated factors, of are buying a fairly expensive home, I would shop around. The origination fee is always 10% so if you're buying a $500k house, that's $5000 you have to pay JUST in origination fees. Several things were missed in our underwriting and closing that put us in super uncomfortable positions multiple times. Something would be missed and they would come to a solution and say "okay that's it! You're good to go" until something else would magically get brought up. Closing tasks we're done last minute causing our closing process to be a disaster. People working our case were missing things because it was their "first time" so no, I will not be using VU again and I would recommend that if you're considering VU, that you do at least shop around for other VA loan providers.

Hi Sabrina,
Thank you for sharing this. I’m glad your first experience with us felt strong, and I’m really sorry to hear that this time around brought so much frustration. When things come up late in the process or you feel like new issues keep appearing after being told everything is good to go, it can make the whole experience stressful and hard to trust. Closing should never feel like a scramble, and I understand why this left such a difficult impression.

So glad to work with Veterans United. You've given us our forever-home.
The team did great, ive recieved home loans through other VA lenders and this team, and veterans united are by far the best. The team worked with me through the whole process and helped me with the struggles i encountered. I would recommend VU to anyone.
