First off, Andrew Beckett was the star of the show. He was the most honest, upfront, and just genuinely cool guy. He answered every question and responded almost instantly every time I reached out, even when he was on vacation! Veterans United and the team they gave was top tier and my wife and I will definitely use them again!
Sheldon, Sarah, and the whole VetsU Team were simply amazing to work with from jump. Patient, Professional, and made me feel part of a true Partnership throughout the entire experience. A team member was never further than a text away.My questions were answered promptly, when I was confused, concerned, or irritated, they provided a safe, judgement-free space to vent pent up anxiety. Never once was I made to feel less for availing myself this space.
Thank you all!
The people from Veterans United worked hard to help us understand and be comfortable with the complexities of buying our home. Rylee Loans, Grace Walther, And our Realtor Vickie from VU went the extra mile to make this entire process smooth from the beginning.n
Home buying can be stressful especially when you’re juggling regular life with a bunch of kids. Understanding the lending process let alone a VA Loan was a lot of work (for me). Veterans United made the process simple and my loan officer, Rachel was outstanding! Made the process simple. Clearly communicated every step of the way. And fought for our best interests when the seller was committed to their own best interests. I’d recommend Rachel and Veterans United in a heartbeat.
It was easy to get in the system and the process was easy to grasp. We enjoyed the app a lot and the ease of document upload in the system.
Very straight forward process and a very responsive and knowledgeable team.
We worked with Veterans United for several months, starting back in spring 2025, originally planning a move in early 2026. Our timeline accelerated, and their team handled it exceptionally well.One of the biggest challenges was selling our Alaska home, which had a 2.5% VA loan through Veterans United. Their team guided us through the loan assumption process, allowing another veteran to assume the loan. This not only helped the buyer, but it allowed us to capture a premium on our home and move forward smoothly.The coordination was excellent — we closed on our Alaska home and then closed on our new home in Washington just two days later. That kind of timing doesn’t happen without a strong, experienced lender behind the scenes.Our loan officer, Katie Smith, was professional, responsive, and on top of every detail throughout the process. She made a complex transaction feel manageable and kept everything moving.If you’re a veteran navigating a sale, a VA loan assumption, or a cross-state move, Veterans United truly understands how to make the VA system work for you. Highly recommend.
Sheldon Turek and Danielle Hays did get me to closing. Thats the only good thing. We closed a week late which cost me almost over 5k in debts. Danielle told me to forward the costs to see if they can help. Forward the receipts and get told it will delay closing even longer.The beginning was Sheldon making promises and talking big game which later seemed didnt hold together until i called a million times to try and get ahold of him. Still seems shaky at best. My loan coordinator changed atleast 3 times. They only coordinate via email which is awful and kept me guessing what i need to do. The app and the to dos sometimes are not clear. If I need to do something I expect the people trying to get my business reaching out to me via phone call to make sure i provide the necessary things to close on time.4th time buying a house and by far this was the hardest. If you need to reach them Goodluck, you're gonna get passed around.Got them to call me like a requested when I made threats to report them to the head of the VA to blacklist their company.Do not recommend va united.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Christopher,
I’m really sorry to hear how frustrating this experience was, especially given that this wasn’t your first time buying a home. Closing late and feeling left in the dark can create a lot of stress, and I understand why the added costs and communication challenges left you disappointed.
While I’m glad to hear Sheldon and Danielle helped get you to the finish line, it’s clear we missed the mark when it came to consistency, clarity, and being easy to reach. Changing loan coordinators, relying mostly on email, and unclear next steps can make an already complex process feel even harder than it should. That’s not the experience we want for anyone.
I’d really like the chance to look into what happened with your loan and better understand the delays and communication gaps you described. If you’re open to it, you can reach our Client Advocate team at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We’re available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, and messages outside those hours are typically returned the next business day.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. It helps us understand where we need to do better.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
This is I believe the third time I have used Rob and his team to purchase a home. And the financial aspect of each purchase was perfect and easily the simplest part of the entire process. When experience counts. I call Rob.
As a first-time home buyer and young active-duty servicemember, I can't praise Veteran's United highly enough. Their team made what seemed like a daunting undertaking in finding and financing a home really very easy! I'd recommend Veteran's United to anyone in the military looking to buy a home.
The team worked well with me. Keeping me informed and helping me with the process! Was practically stress free.

As much as I work, the team did a superb job accommodating me in my endeavor to purchase my home. The collaboration between the teams were impeccable. I have been impressed with how my home buying experience went. I have spoken to my fellow veterans at work and recommended Veterans United for a great home buying experience. Thank you guys and hope to do another home buying transaction in the future.
At first getting my home was definetly an obstacle but the team made it possible for me to own my first home. Would definetely recommend Veteran's United to Veterans and future homeowners. -Noah
Doug and his team made the process smooth and worry free for me from the beginning to the end. Any questions that I had were answered quickly and so that I could understand what was happening. I would definitely recommend Veterans United and specifically Doug and his team.
