Joe Choi was my Loan Officer. As a first time home owner I have plenty of questions. Joe answered all of my calls, answered all of my questions, and provided the best advice when proceeding with my closing documents. Joe Choi was hands down the best Loan Officer I could've been paired with as a first time home owner.
With Lauren Ross and David Kirby working along side him they made the process smooth and easy. Huge shout out to David Kirby for being quick and efficient. I submitted through the VA Home Loan website and within literal minutes David called me to get the paperwork rolling.
Great job from start to finish. Everything explained step by step
The team was phenomenal. Thank you Mr. Scott for answering any and all questions and concerns during the process. He was patient and was consistent in status checks and follow ups.
I am disappointed in Veterans United after half a dozen transactions in the last decade. Congrats on the quickest close for a botched transaction. These newbies need to understand that salespeople in The Villages are not held to the same standards as realtors. They are predatory. I do not want another veteran to end up in this situation. Highway rest stops are built with more environmental protections in place than 1978 Lockett Lane, situated along the Florida Turnpike and rattled with noise, truck, bus & vehicle emissions, etc. There are not enough trees planted to absorb any of it.
Response from Veterans United
Hi Robert,
I’m really sorry to hear how disappointing this experience was, especially after working with Veterans United multiple times over the years. I understand why this feels like a letdown, and I hear how strongly you feel about protecting other veterans from going through something similar.
I also want to acknowledge your concerns about the property itself. VA appraisals are limited to assessing value and basic safety at face value, and they don’t account for factors like long-term noise, environmental conditions, or surrounding emissions. That’s why a separate home inspection is so important, though I know that doesn’t lessen how frustrating this outcome feels now.
I’d appreciate the opportunity to better understand what happened and hear more about your concerns. If you’re open to it, our Client Advocate team can be reached at 1-800-212-5200 or ClientAdvocate@vu.com. We’re available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST.
Sincerely,
Claire S., Client Relations Manager
Veterans United did an amazing job! Our home buying experience was made easy with the team that was provided! I would recommend Veterans United to any veteran that's looking to purchase a home!
My experience with VU started off by me just calling in to ask a few questions about a loan. I had no intention on applying right then. I spoke with Torie H and we stayed on the phone for almost an hour and I was sold and applied for a loan. She made me feel very comfortable and wasn’t PUSHY. After applying with Torie I was told that my actual loan officer was Melissa and she was on vacation. But that didn’t stop Melissa from calling me to introduce herself to me. From there she made my home buying experience the easiest and smoothest ever. I decided to float my rate and Melissa called me or texted me daily to let me know where the rate was and where I stood. My whole experience with her was awesome. Melissa and her team made me feel like I was a part of a family. She gets my vote for the BEST in the business.
The whole team was very professional and communicative. This has been our very best home buying experience by far.
At times it was hard to get ahold of my team but other than that everything else was good.
I really had the best dream team. From Seller, to Lender, to the VA, to the agents. Thank you Miss Ashley and Miss Crystal. Always in the best interest of the client. So patient and kind and mindful. We all went through some hurdles but ultimately had to go through them to get through them and eventually shoot for the win, I love you all and thank you all. 🩶

Veteran's United assisted in making my first-time home buying experience very comfortable.
They made a dream come true in a time of a housing crisis, the VA loan protected us from buying a house that was flipped with loads of hidden issues. I got a home with brand new everything and a proper inspection to assure everything was done right. They were completely patient with us and they set us up for success I couldn't be happier with the home we found; It feels surreal Thank you guys!
My wife and I would like to convey (we learned that word from our real estate dealings, lol) our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of the Veteran's United Team!!!Our journey began with Smith Gaddy on May 23rd. This being our first home ever (yes, at our age...), we did not know what to do or expect. We were guided by you all every step of the way. Our concierge (Casie) got us connected and on track for this process. She also hooked us up with our realtor. Tyler (our loan officer) got involved immediately and worked on our preapproval. Every step was detailed and explained in ways we could understand. The patience, understanding, and commitment was/is so amazing. Cara kept us on track for the underwriter and Jimmy kept the ball rolling in the same efficient manner when Cara was not available. Alicia got our Homeowners insurance in line and patiently kept making necessary changes as we needed them. We successfully closed on July 25th, 2022!Tyler (our loan officer) has gone out of his way to make our dream come true. He helped us overcome obstacles which could have destroyed our dream from becoming a reality. We will never forget him or his team!We tell you all this so you can get an idea from the buyers/our perspective. You all never lost sight of why you are doing this.I am a Vietnam Veteran who has had a difficult trip through life. I never would have dreamed this possible. More importantly, my wife gets the one thing in this life that she has always dreamed of. Thank you for what you have done for us! Remember that you all hold the ability to fulfill a void in a veteran and his family's life. It makes a HUGE difference and again we will be forever grateful to you all. Thank you!!!
Thanks @Martin and Suzanne for helping me getting this house.
