Amazing company
Shauna was amazing to work with, she made the whole process easy and quick.
Everyone at the company worked quickly and efficiently that the whole process took less than a month. We highly recommend the company to every Veteran
If I could give a lower mark
If I could give a lower mark, I would!! My husband and I have been in the process of a 2nd mortgage and have had repeatedly been told they needed more information ( most all had been submitted early on. Credit checks ( which affect our credit, documents repeatedly requested from our home bank. My husband is a Veteran as most all of you others are. I feel like this company is messing with the most distinguished people and I am disappointed that we ever started with them. We were told our original agent has left the company. Then all of a sudden, they need this document and that document which they already have. Too many hands in the kitchen. He’s on notice, no more postponing. THIS WEEK IT GETS DONE or we’re done with them. We have other options which we should have just done in the first place. I would never ever recommend this company. We have had mortgages and loans many times in our 46 year mortgage and NEVER been so jerked around. Read reviews and take them to heart.

Nothing but 5 star service
Nothing but 5 star service. Lee C. Has always been there and responsive. Gettin the best rate possible. Thank you
Loan officer Mike Sanders at Veterans First deserves a five star rating for his hard work and making his clients feel that they are always a number one. is
My name is Cynthia LeMaster, and our loan officer is Mike Sanders through Veterans First. My husband and I have been working with Mike Sanders who helped us through buying three homes and there’s no one else that we would have worked with. I lost my husband Larry on January 1 of this year 2026 and it’s been very difficult, as my husband and I were married for 57 1/2 years. But Mike has guided us through buying three homes the last home I purchased through Mike Sanders as well and I’m so grateful because he helped me through every step of the purchase. Mike is always polite. professional, kind and very knowledgeable of his job and what is needed to help us to buy our last three homes and he has walked us through the entire process. Mike is the most hard-working person I’ve ever known always telling me not to hesitate to call if I had any questions, even talking to me when he was on vacation one time.. When my husband passed away this January, I called Mike Sanders about a month after he passed as I knew at that point I would need to sell the home we were living in as due to my husband‘s passing and my income being reduced I knew I needed to find a home with a reduced mortgage. He helped me through everything I needed to do because my husband handled the buying process of the other two houses so I was at a loss on what I needed to do, but Mike helped me through everything and he was the most kindest, professional, and knowledgeable person, he knew exactly what I would need to do what papers I needed to get and walked me through everything and I’m so thankful and grateful that Mike Sanders was there for me at such a difficult time in my life?
I would highly recommend Mike Sanders and Veterans First to anyone and I do.
Mike Sanders is a wonderful asset to Veterans First. God bless.

Dedicated Advisor
Kaitlynn Mattinson is a truly dedicated advisor and will always be our family's go-to lending professional! She was referred to us by my cousin, and I will happily refer her to everyone I come across.She always made us feel like we were her number one priority. As first-time buyers, we truly appreciated how patient she was with us and all of our crazy questions. Even if she had already explained something to us, she happily took the time to do it again to ensure we were completely clear on the financing process and the next steps. From the Alexander's, thank you, Kaitlynn!

Our Opinion of Veterans Fiirst Mortgage
We have worked with Lee Camblin for around 3 years. He is a great representative of Veterans First Mortgage. Veterans First Mortgage I would recommend to everyone!!
Well I needed a mortgage reduction due…
Well I needed a mortgage reduction due to the economy being at a all time high. I received messages from Lee Camblin from Veterans First. Mr.Lee asked me if I would like to refinance my home. I was told that my interest rate would drop to about 6% . I immediately stated yes I would like to move forward with the IRRL. I am very happy that I did enroll in the program. So that I could make ends meet. So I am happy that Lee Camblin had my best interest at heart. Thank you Veterans First. I am rating his performance a 10 for his efforts.

Patrick went above and beyond to get my family to close on our first home. Jordan also stepped in to be a big help with this process. Thank you both
Kaitlynn Mattinson is the BEST!
Kaitlynn Mattinson was truly incredible! I could not recommend her more. I cannot wait to buy my next piece of real estate so I can work with her again. She made the process so easy. She is extremely approachable and insightful.

Patrick worked so hard to get us into the Condo we fell in love with.

Heather Lewis was excellent to work with! She made the process seamless by keeping us updated and answering our questions even via text! The most impressive part was when she had to be out of the office, we were overwhelmed with updates by her manager and colleagues. She made sure that we were never left without communication about the progress of our loan. We would definitely recommend Veterans First specifically Heather for any home buying needs.
Finally made it!!
My loan officer, Dina N. Hands down. She calmed my nerves and guided me through every step of the way, with alexpertise above and beyond the job. She made me feel more like a friend than a client. Truly great experience!
