Shawnee and her team were amazing. I feel very fortunate to have had such a pleasant home buying experience and will definitely recommend to friends. Thank you!
Everyone help and communicated throughout the process
Was a great experience. Cory was a huge help to me and answered any of my questions I had about being a new home owner. Even things not relevant to the loan, he was happy to answer to provide me with information. He was very quick with any paperwork I submitted and was very efficient in what he does. 10/10 experience
Helped every step of the way, background being that I am 24 years old fresh out of the military with ZERO experience with any of the process. I sent an application and within the hour Don called me to get the ball rolling. And I was able to BUILD which was huge for me and my family. I cannot recommend this agency enough.
Phil was amazing to work with

Hello Team, I would like to express my appreciation to Veterans United. My experience was simply a 10 out of 10. Being new to the area, Ms. Melissa Kunkel allowed me to focus on new job. It has been a blessing to have her and the team take care of me and my family. Thanks for answering all of my question regardless of the time. I'm thankful every time I pull into the driveway of my new home. I would recommend Veterans United to everyone.
VU is Awesome!!! I felt I had constant communication by phone, text and email. Everyone was helpful , knowledgeable and friendly.
Matt & his team Logan & Alex went above & beyond! They were able to close on my new home 7 days earlier, in time for movers to get me in before holiday weekend! They were in constant communication via text, email, & phone conversations! Answered all of my questions & were very knowledgeable in their work! Thank you all so much for making this so streamlined with your To do lists! Anytime I had a question I would get my answer directly! Thank you again & enjoy your holiday weekend!
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
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. 🩶
Robert Keeley was also very good. He was very patient with all of the communications and all of the checklist processes. His was diligent in making sure all my information got to the underwriters and helped me understand exactly what they were asking of me. I am thankful for my whole team, to include Laura who stepped in and kept the process moving seamlessly when needed. I never felt like anyone dropped the ball or forgot about me. It truly was a person-centric experience and I look forward with working with the same team when it comes to buying my dream home.
My local team was great, and they let up with everything and had me in the loop every step of the way.
