Veterans First Mortgage Reviews 

Connor Bushnell, Mortgage Lender with Wintrust Mortgage, always makes you feel like you're in good hands. He's always attentive, extremely knowledgeable and operates with integrity. If he gives you his word you can hold him to it. If he misses your call, he's calling back and sending you an email, generally apologizing for missing your call and following up asap.

Connor doesn't dodge questions, he addresses them head on and explains until you fully understand what he's conveying to you.
He's the only Lender who's been adamant about my VA benefits and my disability rating. He discovered that with TDIU, you receive full benefits, including full tax exemption even if you're below 100% rating.

Connor fights for his Veteran customers. He believes in treating people fairly and receiving everything that's owed to us. Certainly worth pointing out;
When applying for my initial mortgage, Connor asked how much I was comfortable paying, versus, allowing my credit to dictate my mortgage amount.
That is how I was originally qualified for this house.
Based on my comfort level, NOT what my credit score dictated I could afford.

Connor is the exception to every rule that I know. He's an anomaly. An anomaly that's making it possible for Veterans like me to hold my head high, [not in arrogance, just pride]. He's making homeownership and refinance possible for Veterans who need a little help with obtaining a "fresh start", a reset.
Thank you Connor for making my refinance process go smoother than I could have expected.

Then, at the end of the day, being able to look at yourself in the mirror and be proud because you were ethical in your proceedings. More people should emulate your conduct, work ethics and diligence in acting out of the best interest of the client.
Thank you Connor! 👏🏾👏🏾

Danielle and Meagan were very helpful in getting through all the hoops in getting us the mortgage for our home. They were very knowledgeable and provided needed guidance in getting through this process. From a veterans perspective I do believe some of the required inspections were more than necessary to obtain the financing and approval.

In purchasing my first home the experience of working with Melissa Staples and Dina Naswari none less the exceptionally magical. From the start of my home buying Journey Veterans First made the finding of the home very easy connecting me with an excellent, caring realtor. Throughout the rest of the process once the home was under contract Dina helped immensely in guiding me with providing all that was needed to get to the finish line. Melissa came in at the right time and her delicate touch and expertise as a loan officer manager ensured a smooth crossing of the finish line. I will certainly with Veterans when the rates come down and I’m eligible to re-fi.

My process went exceptionally smoothly and fast.

Specifically my loan agent Kaitlynn was fantastic. Great personality, who was attentive and proactive throughout. We had issues with our closure from the sellers side and Kaitlynn was the only person in the process who made it doable. I could not recommend her or Veterans First Mortgage more highly. I am so happy to finally have my first home of my own thanks to them.

Rosa Roma was great to work with. my only complaint would have to be that there was a lot of repetitive paperwork through out the whole process which made it a bit stressful.

Tyler was really helpful once he took over & gave me all the information I needed when ai needed it and communicated extremely well

I first contacted Veterans First a few years ago when seeking and comparing pre-approvals on a property I was interested in. The bid I submitted on the home wasn't accepted. Though the seller engaged in negotiation, they ultimately chose to let their home go to their lender.
Fast forward to the present:
I found myself "The Right House". I remembered how pleasant and attentive Janelle had been, so I contacted her again. She immediately remembered me and my circumstances. She made the financing process as smooth as could be. Even while passing me to her colleagues while she went on maternity leave (congratulations Janelle!), she still stayed engaged with my case to ensure that all the loose ends were tied.

Kaitlynn Mattinson was so easy to work with and what I thought was impossible she made possible for me to secure a home loan. This took awhile as the home itself was tied up with the IRS longer than expected but she was very patient with everything that kept delaying the closing. Today it all came together and we closed. Kaitlynn was on top of this like a guard in Arlington Cemetery at the tomb of the unknown soldier.

I really enjoyed working with Mike, he caught a huge problem that had to be corrected immediately. He’s easily to talk with and gets everything done right.

Absolutely amazing he helped us out every step of the way and answered all of our questions and always explained everything and us very great
Thank you!

Kory and Brighton made it fast and understandable. If there was anything I needed, he was a phone call away!

My loan officer Janelle Lomeli. Was the greatest. Patient and Professional the whole way through, and was a great guide to bring me to the finish line of this loan.

I worked with Adam Freedman. The experience was great Adam stayed in close contact with me the entire time. Ensuring any bumps in the road got smoothed out. Although we're separated geographically, he navigated without issue. The property I purchased had multiple lots and multiple owners. Making it a little harder to work through. Adam even spent some of his vacation time jumping through hoops. He did a great job, and I appreciate it.

For Ms Denitra cosby , thank you for the patience and understanding. It was a great experience.

1st timer here. Luke vogel was awesome and very informative. I had tons of questions for him and he was there every step of the way. Would be honored to use his services again if ever needed. Much respect for him and his team.

This will be the 2nd time I worked with Denitra Cosby. She was with me to purchase my home and I sought her out for refinancing. She is the absolute BEST when it comes to anything home buying related. If you ever had that little voice in your head casting doubt of taking the right or wrong path when discussing purchasing a house; you can put that voice to rest with Denitra.

She has all your answers and knows every question you're going to ask before you even think of it! She's such a trust worthy and awesome person to work with. Will definitely be back and recommend her to anyone looking to buy house to work with Denitra Cosby!

Danielle and the team at Veterans First Mortgage have been amazing! Professional and able to guide and provide answer to uncertainties, on time, great atitude, no delays, all smooth!

All aspects of getting a loan were done professionally.
Denitra was a pleasure to work with and provided the information I needed for a smooth transition
