Veterans United Home Loans

Hello.

Katie is a loan officer with Veterans United.

Mm-hmm.

And she's completed over 4,000 executions with home loans.

Sure.

Sure.

So say you call a lender, call Veterans United.

Yep.

in people's bottom line in their business, which is the whole goal.

You know, that e-note, there's a couple studies out there I saw, uh, Veterans United, um, did a great study.

Like the impact of their e-note adoption, now they're at the very, very, very far end of the spectrum.

Like they've really leaned into e-note adoption.

He's also the founder, president, and chairman of the Gary Sinise Foundation.

I'm, uh, one of the executive producers on this, and the group of Vietnam veterans, 10 Vietnam veterans, went, uh, back to Vietnam, uh, courtesy of Veterans United, who, um, of course, since they were doing this, they wanted to document this o- on film.

And it's, it's a remarkably powerful documentary that I have the privilege of narrating and being an, an executive producer on.

I actually, uh, when they came home from Vietnam, I was, uh, I was in Texas to greet them.

And it was very powerful and very healing for a lot of them to go back and kind of retrace those steps, see the country as it is today versus what it was all those years ago.

Um, you know, each one of them had, uh, probably a different reason, Peter, uh, for, um, making the decision to return.

But, uh, you know, it's all expense paid trip by Ve- Veterans United, something, something that Veterans United really wanted to do for these, these veterans, knowing that when they did come home, while there was a big welcome home for the POWs at, at the time, uh, generally the country had turned its back on our Vietnam veteran, and that was, that was not a good thing.

I wanna ask you about the 25th anniversary of September 11th that we just went through.

That's good because I had no idea they did Let America Build at South by Southwest.

Realtor.com and 13 real estate home building and housing advocacy groups, including Zillow and the National Association of Home Builders, Habitat for Humanity, Veterans United, and eXp, have unveiled LetAmericaBuild.org, a website that educates consumers about zoning, permitting, and housing policies, housing types, and construction trends.

Realtor.com said that the recent passage of 21st Century Road to Housing Act has put housing in the spotlight, and now is the time to draw the through line between federal policy, state and local action, and housing affordability.

All right, well, let's not get our hopes up.

It's cool.

Like I, I know last year, like I never really used Zillow that much, but I would use like Veterans United and I closed some of those.

But like last year was a lot of my like sphere of influence and referrals.

But this year, I mean, yeah, it's all strangers, but it's cool.

I mean, for such a long period of time, Rocket was my only client.

And then we got Veterans United and they became a huge client of ours.

And then we got a lot more and a lot more and a lot more and a lot more.

But that management aspect in biz deving is really what I did for so many years while also trying to expand marketplaces.
