Shopping for a house here in Southeast Alaska. I am a disabled veteran and have never used my VA home loan benefit. So I started the process with the VA, applying for a certificate of eligibility.
I got my Certificate of Eligibility and was immediately contacted by Veterans United trying to take charge of the home buying process. They are not connected to or affiliated with the VA. They are a private lender and they are being very aggressive.
Does anyone here have any experience with this outfit?
22 year home inspector here....have had several clients use them here in coastal southeast Texas and they run them through the ringer on rural properties with wells and septic systems.
I’ve used them before and currently on my retirement home although it’s a short term loan and they’ve been great. My daughter is also using them on their current home and like them.
I used them to buy my current house. Since I bought it from out of state, they helped me contact a real estate agent, buy insurance, get the inspections, everything. They assign a concierge to each case to help with everything associated with buying a home.
As soon as the mortgage settled, they sold it. But they are ready to help again if I decide to move.
Here’s their Better Business Bureau page: https://www.bbb.org/us/mo/columbia/profile/mortgage-broker/veterans-united-home-loans-0734-310024839
Something of a concern. There are not many homes available on the grid here on the island. Several off-grid and many vacant lots.
Not sure if you’re saying that’s good or bad. Our first house was FHA & the inspector held up everything until a handrail was installed going into the basement. It was something we were willing to risk as it was minor.
i’m not a fan of aggressive.

Absolutely the best guy and they were so good to me I told them I’d do a promo video or referral anytime they needed one-
Cannot say enough good things about veterans united- I wear their shirt everywhere-
I’ve had three VA loans. The last two were with Veterans United. It’s a shame you missed out on the lowest interest rates in like forever, but if you can lock in on what’s out there now...
Anyway, they treated me right and the head guy I was dealing with really seemed to look out for me. The only draw back we had was the realtor they assigned wasn’t as aggressive or assertive enough with the sellers. There were a couple of houses we would have out-bid if we could have. She seemed to somehow think we had a low income.
can you join a military credit union many bases have offices and they do home loans..
