The Unison Equity Sharing Agreement gives you cash today with no payments due until you decide to end the agreement within a 30-year term, either by selling your home or buying us out. You’ll then owe a single lump-sum payment based on how much your home’s value has changed since you received Unison's investment.

Unison gives homeowners cash today in exchange for a percentage of the home’s future change in value. At the end of the 30 year term, or sooner if you decide, you’ll pay us the original investment amount plus a portion of the home’s appreciation (or depreciation) from the time the agreement was implemented. Others in the space take a share of the home’s total value at the end of the term, not just a piece of the appreciation.

Unison applies a 5% risk adjustment to your home’s indpendently appraised value. This helps account for the uncertainty inherent in the appraisal process and allows Unison to deliver your funds faster and without the added costs of multiple appraisals.

In the industry, risk adjustments can range from 2% to 30%. A higher adjustment artificially lowers your starting value, thus increasing what you'll owe. Others focus on an “exchange ratio” instead.

We believe that you should keep 100% of the value added by the significant improvements you make to your home (beyond regular maintenance). We account for this with a feature called the Remodeling Adjustment.

When you exit the agreement, we’ll use an independent appraiser to determine how much value your improvements added, and deduct that amount from the total appreciation shared with Unison. To qualify, you'll need to give us advance notice, use licensed contractors, and document the project properly. Keep in mind that the Remodeling Adjustment only becomes available after the three-year anniversary of your agreement, and not all renovations increase a home's value by the full cost of the project.
