Unison provides a financial service that allows homeowners to access the value of their home equity without taking on debt. Instead of traditional loans, homeowners can enter into a home equity sharing agreement, where they receive cash in exchange for a portion of their home equity. This means Unison becomes a co-investor in the property, sharing in any future changes in its value. This approach helps homeowners avoid monthly payments and interest, making it easier for them to access funds for various needs like paying off debt, funding retirement, or starting a business. Unison differentiates itself from competitors by aligning its financial interests with those of the homeowner, as both benefit from the property's appreciation. The company's goal is to make housing more financially accessible and provide homeowners with the flexibility they need to succeed.
