Home Owner Success Stories | Unison Equity Sharing
See how Unison has changed the lives of over 10,000 homeowners
“With relief from Unison, we were able to pay down debt and allow time for our child to stay home until the pandemic subsided.”
The Young Family
Hermitage, TN
“Both my daughters are now doctors, and Unison allowed their student loans to be paid in full. Unison is highly recommended!”
The Borg Family
Scottsdale, AZ
“Unison enabled us to fulfill our dream – it was the perfect investment for us.”
The Alpaslan Family
Princeton, NJ
The Alpaslans identified the perfect investment opportunity: a beautiful apartment that they could rent out immediately, then later move into once their kids left the nest. With a Unison equity sharing agreement, they were able to use the equity in their family home to fund an aggressive down payment on their new apartment, helping them avoid debt and monthly payments, and enabling them to get their investment property at the lowest price possible.
Build a business
“I was able to use the money that was locked up in my house, and it gave me the financial cushion I needed to expand the Firepie business”
Rick
San Francisco, CA
Inspired by a massive wood-fired oven and a desire to feed San Francisco the pizza they deserved, Rick decided to leave his tech career behind. But between the costs of sourcing the best ingredients, hiring employees, and expanding his business – Firepie wasn’t exactly a cheap dream. Instead of taking on debt for a startup in a risky industry, Rick decided to partner with Unison to unlock equity from his home and self-fund his dream.
Paying Debt
“She passed away 4 months before becoming eligible for social security. How am I going to keep this house?”
Phillip
San Francisco, CA
When Kathleen passed, after 42 years of marriage, Phillip felt his whole world change. While recovering from the emotional impact of losing his wife, he quickly realized that the loss of income, lack of social security, and medical bills would put him at risk of losing their home. From an “equity-rich, cash-poor” situation, Phillip was able to partner with Unison to unlock some of that equity and pay the bills, without having to sell the home he loved.
Pay Debts
"Unison worked wonders for our family. We decided to use the investment to get rid of all our debt, rather than just move into another loan. This truly has been one of the best decisions we made!"
The Figueroa Family - Henderson, NV
Home Improvement
"We used it to add an amazing patio to the back of our house and redo our family room, as well as pay off all of our credit card debt. It was such a GREAT decision to do this and such a simple process."
The Link Family - Romeoville, IL
Large Purchase
"We used Unison to pay for my son's college expenses. We had a lot of equity in our home, but were squeezed by the tuition bills. Unison allowed us to pay them off without incurring unnecessary debt."
The De Jong Family - Chapel Hill, NC

Eliminate Debt
“We were considering a refinance, but all that meant was trading a payment for another payment.”
Ed
Temecula, CA
Ed was neck-deep in debt, and didn’t like the idea of trading one set of monthly payments for another. He decided to partner with Unison to tap into the home equity he already owned in order to pay off the mounting debt, and still had cash left over to fund a huge home improvement project, without taking on a penny of debt – for the first time ever. Ed found his breathing room, and a lot more.
Paying Debts
“It allowed us to fulfill our dream with our children – to give them the opportunity of a lifetime.”
The Roberts Family
Rochester, NY
The Roberts family had come to a decision: their children would be best positioned to succeed with their mom as their teacher. But homeschooling meant a loss of income from Mom, as well as extra space needed to create an effective classroom. All of which meant tightening the wallet, and with Dad’s business facing a hardship, loans weren’t on the table. With Unison, the Roberts were able to pay down existing debts, move to a bigger home, and balance their budget to bring their dreams as a family to life.
Large Purchase
“I love being able to make my house exactly how we want it to be.”
Trevor & Lindsay
Poway, CA
With a growing family of five, Trevor and Lindsay’s starter home was quickly becoming a tight squeeze, but they were right on the cusp of being able to afford their true dream home. With a Unison equity sharing agreement, they were able to afford a down payment on a house with the perfect location and foundation, and still have cash in hand to make the improvements they needed.
