Members of the military community are invited to join the home loan specialists at Veterans United Home Loans (VUHA) in Fayetteville to learn more about their VA Loan benefits and the VA Loan and home buying process while also enjoying community networking and lunch! 

Hosted at their office located at 4129 Raeford Road, the Lunch & Learn event will take place on Saturday, Sept. 16 from 12:00 p.m.- 2:00 p.m. 

Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or looking to upgrade, VA Loan experts will guide you through the entire process, and be available to answer any questions you may have. 

“Veterans United Home Loans is the VA's number one lender when it comes to VA Loans, we want to put Veterans into houses. The VA has its number one benefit that's available for anybody that served as the VA Home Loan Entitlement. It allows soldiers, service members present and past, to be able to get into a house with no money down, take advantage of a government bank security loan and it offers the best interest rates of any other type of loan that's out there,” shared Veteran and VUHA Fayetteville Branch Manager Bob Doran.

The Veterans United Home Loans team has partnered with Keller Williams Realtors Jamie Hernandez and Michael Ronan English to help educate Veterans and their families on how to utilize their benefits to become homeowners. Guests will also receive a certificate to use towards a free appraisal for attending.

“We like to team up with real estate agents who have the clients that just don't know the answers to what it takes to get into a home. I think that doing it this way with the realtors just gets us to explain the process of buying and then also the realtor gives them the information on what's going on in our market right now. So, with what we bring in with the realtor, it's just a really good chance for them to walk out of here and understand what they can expect and what their needs are,” shared VUHA Fayetteville Branch Manager Solibel Ramos. 

Both Doran and Ramos shared that they are open to partnering with other local real estate firms to host future Lunch & Learn events. 

The Lunch & Learn Series is continuing in the fall after a lineup of successful courses held in the spring. A Second VA Homebuyer Lunch & Learn has already been planned for Saturday Oct. 14 along with their upcoming course: “Creating Generational Wealth Through Real Estate”, a multipart course scheduled to be held from Sept. 23 though Oct. 28. 

“Most buyers, most of the soldiers that come here, Fort Liberty's the biggest installation here in the world with 55,000 troops but a majority of them, they PCS here, they've never bought a house before and so it can be a road filled with pitfalls, but we try to make it simple and easy and answer as many questions as we can for them,” shared Doran. 

Registration for the event is free but required and can be done online here.
