He was right there taking every call. Answered with fast response. We closed in less than 2 weeks. I was very impressed with Chase.
I appreciate that they kept me abreast of any and all changes that happened. They were excellent in their respective positions thank you.

You will always be our go-to and we have already started to spread the word about your amazing team! Thank you all again for the great work!
Negative Review of Veterans United Home Loans
Veterans United Home Loans is a well-known lender specializing in VA loans, but my experience with them was far from positive. From the outset, the process felt unnecessarily complicated and communication was inconsistent. The loan officers seemed overwhelmed and were slow to respond to my questions, often leaving me waiting days for simple updates or clarification.
One of the most frustrating aspects was the lack of transparency regarding fees and required documentation. I was repeatedly asked to provide the same documents, and each time, new requirements seemed to appear out of nowhere. This not only delayed the process but also made me feel like the company was disorganized and not respectful of my time.
Additionally, the promised closing timeline was not met. Despite assurances that everything was on track, my closing was delayed multiple times with little explanation. This caused a great deal of stress and forced me to make last-minute arrangements, costing me both time and money. It has been almost Two months since closing. I was told over a month ago that I was owed another $1,000. This mortgage company has had terrible customer service from the beginning. Many of the items that should have been coordinated with my loan broker should have been completed by them, but I never heard from them during the whole process. I had to call them, and then they were very vague and unhelpful. I think their people are working on too many projects. Do not expect customer service. Especially after closing, once they get their money, you will not hear from them, even though you have no idea if they followed through. One thing is for sure, they get paid.
Overall, I expected much more from a company that advertises itself as a leader in serving veterans. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Veterans United Home Loans to others seeking a smooth and professional home loan process. Especially if you are a disabled veteran and have a hard time doing what is necessary.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Patrick,
I’m really sorry to hear how difficult this entire process felt for you. What you described around the communication gaps, repeated requests, unclear expectations, and the trouble getting timely updates is not the experience I want anyone to have, especially during something as important as buying a home. You should have felt supported and informed from the start, and I can understand how frustrating it must have been when things felt disorganized and you weren’t getting the clarity you needed.
I’m also sorry to hear how the closing timeline shifted and how you were left making last-minute adjustments because of delays that weren’t clearly explained. That kind of uncertainty is stressful on its own, and the lack of follow-through afterward only added to your frustration. Feeling like you had to chase down answers or wonder whether things were handled correctly after closing isn’t acceptable, and I appreciate you being candid about what this was like from your side.
I’d really like the chance to look into everything you mentioned so we can understand what happened and address your concerns directly. If you’re open to connecting, you can reach me at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. I’m here Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and I’ll do everything I can to help get you some clarity.
Initially I was going to give VU a ten out of ten but, one time when I called Rynda and left a message, she did not return my call that day or the next day. It wasn't until the next day that I called again and still wasn't able to get ahold of anyone so, I was transferred to the supervisor Brad who was very helpful. I was told everyone was in a meeting, which is understandable but, prior to retiring, when I worked and I walked into my office in the morning and saw that I had a missed a call the previous day, I would immediately call that person back.
The thing that really didn't sit well with me is when Rynda sent me a text about the review stating, "we expect a 10 out of 10". Pressuring someone for a 10 out of 10 even slightly or passively is "unprofessional" in my opinion. Soliciting a review should be enough without the pressure of receiving a perfect score. She probably didn't mean anything negative or offense when requesting a perfect score but, that maybe an inherent problem with communicating via text instead of verbally.
Nevertheless, my experience with VU was excellent, just not perfect.
We felt that they were working for us and doing everything they could for us to be successful.
Awesome job
Jake Hanson and his expert team made my loan process EASY!!! From start to finish less than a month!!! Easy communications, up to date notices on the process and clear and concise information for a novice person buying a new home. Totally , a class act! Ten Plus/ outstanding service.
Thank you to my Veterans United loan team for all the help during the homebuying process.
WOW. Words cannot express my experience my wife and I received with Veterans United. Evan and his team was so amazing as they always kept me in the loop on everything that was going on with the loan for the home that my wife and I purchased. He and his team always went the extra mile to make sure that I understood all the documentations that were sent to me. They also made sure that my wife and I was comfortable with the way things were being handled on their end. My wife and I could not have had a better Loan Officer than Evan Mehuys. Kudos to his team as well. If you ever need a team to handle your home loan, I highly recommend Evan and his team Aaron and Rachael. You could not ask for a better team to handle your home loan. I trusted them and they did an impeccable job for my wife and I. Evan, to you and your team, a huge THANK YOU.
