Testimonials

The union services set me up with a great realtor who helped me understand the home buying process from start to finish. She was also very familiar with the type of loan I was using. Overall it was a great experience and hope to use Union Home Services again.

This is the third home we purchased and sold through Union Home Services. Roberta makes every effort to make sure we are working with a professional Real Estate agent who is compatible, and practically custom fit to our lifestyle. I did not know it was possible in today’s world of doing business, that a company truly looks after their members, and they sincerely put people before profits. In fact, the most exciting benefit from this program was when we receive our rebate checks in the mail!!! Just in time to take care the extra expenses a new home encompasses. Union Home Services brings “calm” to the chaos of selling and moving, they get better and better each time we use them!! It would be a crying shame If you are not taking advantage of this wonderful program!! Thank You Union Home Services!

Wow, how refreshing! In an era of corporate greed it was refreshing to earn cash back just by using Union Home Services! They incorporated a way for the working member to finally get a piece of the pie so that everyone wins! From start to finish their professional realtors took us through the stressful process of buying a home. When it was all done, what a surprise to get a check in the mail from UHS to use it on whatever we wanted. I would highly recommend this service to everyone I know, they would be crazy not to use it. Thanks UHS for thinking about the little guy!

Highly recommended. We were very happy to work with Union Home Services! The realtor that they found for us was wonderful and super patient. They wasted no time sending us the rebate check afterwards – Dave personally mailed it and we got it right away. This is a great service and a great benefit for union members.

I heard about UHS through my union member benefits page. I called and spoke with Dave who was very helpful and knowledgeable. He assigned me Roberta as my realtor. This was my first time purchasing a home so I had many questions and was pretty overwhelmed. I was also on a very short time line in which I needed to purchase the home. Roberta exceeded my expectations. She helped to put my fears at ease and made sure that I was comfortable at each step of the process. Roberta is very personable, professional, and reliable. We found a home that I love and to top it off the rebate was an awesome bonus! I would without reservation refer Roberta and UHS to my co-workers, friends and family.

My fiancé and I contacted Union Home Services at the beginning of our house hunt and despite living in the Bay Area & being in a very competitive “seller’s market” we were able to find a great home by working with the team that Dave Cornelson set us up with. They worked night and day to make sure we had a chance to get the home we wanted. Our real estate agent was local but our loan officer was in WA yet this didn’t seem to matter as she made sure to take the time to understand the local market we were working with. The icing on top: $1,781.25 check will be on its way soon! P.S. Got the check in the mail! It’s actually for $2,850! So excited!! Thanks again!!!

I’m glad I used Union Home Services. My Realtor Jeanne was wonderful; professional, knowledgeable, and a sweet, wonderful person. I would have used her even without a rebate, but getting money back (and very quickly) was even better. This is a real deal.

Union Home Services is a terrific benefit for members. I recently sold my old home and bought a new one. Union Home Services worked with my existing realtor and was helpful from beginning to end. Plus, it was nice to get some money back during this very expensive venture! I highly recommend them!

This just makes sense! I sold my house and bought one, and my realtor would have given me .5 percent back from his commission; this service gave me a few hundred more than that, so I was delighted. I think it’s terrific that as union members, we band together around working conditions, injustice, and so on – this program means that we can also band together as consumers! Good deal.

All Union Members should use this Benefit! Our Union Home Services representative was great though the entire process. He always answered my questions and was very friendly. It was easy to sign up on the website. They assigned us a Realtor who was really great. The rebate of $1500 we were given once the house closed was AWESOME!! I would recommend all union members use this benefit.

Buying our new home was a pleasant expirience thanks to UHS. The Family & I relocated to Washington in 2015. One of my union Sisters gave me an article from the union paper about Union Home Services. I thought it was something old & no longer in service. Well I contacted them and am very glad I did. The Bennett family would like to thank Union Home Services for helping us purchase our new home in 2016. UHS made the experience pleasant and they were there for us every step of the way to help with any questions and concerns. About three weeks after closing on our new home we received a nice rebate check in the mail. This is an awesome benefit.

I had a great experience with the AFGE Union Home Services real estate benefit. They got me a realtor that was very helpful and willing to work with me. The service is great for when you’re selling and buying a home. They sent me a refund within a week after selling my home. Dave would call and check up on me every now and then even after a year when I was finally ready to sell my home. I would definitely recommend this service again.

First Time Homebuyer. Union Home Services was friendly and responsive to our questions, and helped us connect with services. The realtor that they found for us was a dream to work with, and we ended up finding the house that we wanted very quickly. They wasted no time sending us the rebate check afterwards – it came in the mail only 15 days after we closed! This is a great service and a great benefit for union members!

I wanted to thank you for your assistance with the referral of the realtor and the follow-up of my rebate for the sale of my home. Ron and Mona Resar were a dynamite pair of realtors to work with. We have worked with several realtors in the past, but, none of them compared to the ones you assigned to help us. They were very knowledgable, professional, trustworthy and sincere with the handling of the sale of my property. I would highly recommend Union Home Services to anyone who is seeking honest and extremely friendly individuals.

Thank you so much for all that you have done for me. I am incredibly grateful for this Union program. It was an awesome experience. The realtor that was referred to me did a fantastic job helping me find my forever home. She was my strongest advocate in the home buying process. She really looked out for me and made sure that I got the best deal possible. I make sure that I mention the program to my fellow union members. So glad I discovered it. I am now a very happy home owner.

My family and I had a great experience using the Union Home Services Real Estate Benefit Program. I was contacted shortly after registration to start the process and within a few days I met with an experienced, knowledgeable, friendly realtor. The realtor was from the largest regional real estate company. Finding the right home for us was his number one priority. Each step of the home buying process was explained. With our realtor, we confirmed the things wanted in a home, including style, renovations, appliances, direct sunlight, foliage, yard space, with peace and quiet in a secure, safe neighborhood. We searched for the right place, taking into account buying a home is a serious, long term investment and found a property my family is happy to spend our lives. As a Union Home Services member we were treated like corporate referrals; important clients about serious business. The realtor was always available, and Union Home Services kept up with us on our progress. The realtor and UHS were always available. The cash back rebate was used to purchase a modern security system and install high end doors. The cash back rebate saved us from having to wait several months to get that project completed. I have recommended my colleagues use the AFGE Union Home Services Real Estate Benefit Program, and I recommend the rest of my fellow AFGE Union members use this program to when they are ready to buy a home.

Union Home Services Real Estate Benefit Program helped me in every way possible. Before working with Roberta and Dave I was at a loss. I was working with an agent who tried to get over on me because I was a first time home buyer. I eventually fired her. I was then informed about a program that my union offered. They would find me a Realtor and after closing I would receive a rebate check, so I decided to contact Dave. I started speaking with Roberta who was very helpful and helped me understand what the documentation meant. I was then linked up with an agent. She was a pleasure to work with. Very professional, knowledgeable, patient, nice and firm with the lender, seller, and home inspector. She maintained communication with all parties to ensure everything was taken care of in order for me to close on time. She is the BEST. The Union Home Services real estate benefit program was worth it. I felt more confident after speaking with Roberta and Dave, I enjoyed working with my agent, and I received my rebate check 17 days after closing. I want to thank my union, AFGE for having this program. It was very easy to participate in.

Dear Dave, I want to tell you how thankful I am for the Union Home Services program. I was very satisfied with the process and the professionals that assisted me along the way. This was my first home purchase, so I was very anxious about how it would go and who to turn to for my business. My loan agent and realtor worked very hard to make sure my interests were protected and that I was going to get what I wanted. I would recommend your program to all my union brothers and sisters. Thank you again!

Union Home Services was the best Real Estate experience we have ever had. I felt more like they were friends helping us with a dream than a agent. I felt they allowed us to express our desires and gave us invaluable insight on the process with value added comments. They went the extra step to help us secure the financing. The rebate check of $1440 was a treat that is not even offered from most Real Estate offices. Now that we have bought our retirement home through them. They will have the business when we go to sell our present home. Thanks Again it pays to work within our Union Brotherhood.

Excellent service and timing is everything! We needed to move out of our rental home in less than 45 days. A friend suggested that I contact Union Home Services, and consider buying instead of renting. Time was short, but Dave and Roberta assured us that, we would find the perfect home, the home we were meant to have. Well sure enough,through their hard work and diligence, and our requirements and needs, we did in fact find our perfect home. They even hooked us up with a awesome lender. We went from renter to Homeowners in 20 days, that is closing and everything. Dave and Roberta are thoughtful and caring people, we highly recommend them. If you are needing a home or want to sell yours…..I`d give them a call. They certainly were a Blessing to us!

I would like to recommend Union Home Services, Inc. when selling or purchasing your home. Union Home Services did a lot of the work connecting me with a bank, realtor and provided assistance with communicating between the Bank, Underwriter and the Title companies. Union Home Services made the purchase of my home painless and without stress. Thanks to Union Home Services, things were done in a smooth and timely matter. The rebate is really nice to use for moving expenses and as a buffer when times get tough. I will continue to use their service in the future and recommend them to all the union brothers and sisters.

Union Home Services made everything so simple. Our agent was courteous and professional. Dave went above and beyond with helpful advice and using his contacts to help my loan close on time. The best part was receiving my rebate check for over $1800. I will recommend them to all my coworkers. Thanks Union Home Services!

I would like to let it be known that I Derrick highly recommend my Union Home Services Realtor’s Angelica and Ada for any and all real estate needs one may have. These ladies are a dynamic duo with no equal to include Batman and Robin….These ladies are knowledgeable, courteous and always accessible when needed…They took personal and professional interest in my needs and wants in terms of my search for a home…They were there from start to finish in the process….They explained each and every paper and detail involved in the home purchasing process…Their patience and through knowledge of the process was a blessing to myself….These ladies are worth every penny they earn and certainly deserve a pay raise…An added bonus was that these ladies are lovely to behold as well….In closing once again I highly recommend these two ladies and the Union Home Services real estate benefit. One won’t definitely go wrong in selecting them for one’s real estate needs.

We purchased our first home through Union Home Services and are thankful they connected us with our Realtor, Sean. As a first time home buyer, we did not know anything and Sean was there to answer all the questions we had. The night we moved in, someone broke into our house and we got our car stolen. We barely had food and we could not go anywhere since we didn’t have a car. We did not know who to call. We just moved from 40 miles away. We decided to call Sean. He came right away and took me to Home Depot and the grocery store. Thank you Sean for going above-and-beyond. Thanks Union Home Services for providing us with a great Realtor and union benefit. The rebate check was a real blessing. We are very, very happy!

This program is wonderful! My husband and I purchased our dream home and received a $1300 rebate check a few weeks later! Even though I work for the State of California and belong to one of the largest unions in the State, I did not know anything about this program! A family member told me about it. Thousands of union workers buy and sell homes every year who have lost thousands of dollars of FREE money just because they did not know about this free union benefit. Help spread the word so all union members can receive this great benefit for doing nothing more than buying the home you have always wanted! Thank you Union Home Services!

First off, I met my loan officer and UHS realtor at an employee/community fair that was being held at my previous job. Angelica, our realtor, was super sweet from the very beginning and was able to help us get the ball rolling right away. Everyone talks about how home-buying is supposed to be a wonderful experience with some bumps along the way when you reach escrow. Well, our home-buying experience was pretty awful the entire time, but that was due to our first, second, and eventually third loan officer. Honestly, I could not have made it out of the home-buying nightmare, and made it out sanely, without Angelica by our side. Despite the disaster that was created by our separate loan officers, Angelica remained patient and fought for us the entire time. She is honest, trustworthy, patient, down-to-earth, and simply amazing. I honestly would hate to go through buying a home again just because our first go around was pretty terrifying, but I would do it all over again with Angelica as our realtor. She made the experience more bearable and I felt comfortable and confident with her as our realtor. She was so great throughout the entire thing, that I’ve already recommended her to friends to have as their realtor as well. Getting a rebate from UHS was an added bonus, but I still would have gone with Angelica even if a rebate wasn’t part of the equation because she was simply that great. I cannot say enough good things about UHS and Angelica! Thank you both for everything and for making our first home buying possible.

Dave and Roberta, Thanks so much for offering this service to union members like me. It was great to know that someone “had my back’ during what can be a crazy and confusing home buying process. Of particular note was your assistance when things got messy with the seller’s real estate agent during closing. Dave stepped in and really went to bat for us to help smooth things out and protect our interest however he could. My wife and I are truly thankful. Lastly, the rebate that you offer after closing is really a sweet deal!

I just wanted to say what a great program! My husband and I purchased our first home together using Union Home Services. The whole experience was so simple and YES we did actually recieved our check for the 20% rebate. We were only in our home for 2 weeks and the check came! We have told our fellow union members about this great program and how especially Dave C. was so helpful. We even can pass on this great program to our immediate family members. If you currently looking for a home and are a union member, than call and go through this great program. Thank you Union Home Services! The Wrights

I’d like to take a moment to tell you about my experience working Union Home Services. It was simple, easy and the process was very smooth. My Realtor was great and the referral to Cherry Creek Mortgage Company was a huge help. As compared to my co-workers recent experience for his mortgage, ours was a walk in the park. We only had to send a document twice one time, compared to my co-worker sending almost every document 3 and 4 times. Communication with my Realtor and Wayne at Cherry Creek was quick and easy to understand. I would most definitely use my Union Home Services real estate benefit again. I will also use Cherry Creek Mortgage Company for any other mortgage needs I may have in the future. I still have a hard time believing we got a $1200 rebate from Union Home Services and then got another $500 from Cherry Creek Mortgage Company. This was an Awesome benefit. I highly recommend Dave Cornelson at Union Home Services and Wayne Lacy at Cherry Creek Mortgage Company. They made a stressful time, a pleasure.

I had been searching for a loan company on my own, getting nowhere. I stumbled on this benefit one day and filled out the request. Dave Cornelson contacted me the same day. His help and professionalism was such a relief. I not only received the benefit, Dave also found realtor and loan company that were fantastic! Michelle at HomeBridge Financial helped find a loan that worked perfect for me. Jami with Berkshire Hathaway Preferred Real Estate was fantastic. She made me feel like I was the only client! On top of working with these fantastic companies I also received a check for $991.00! Thank you, Dave. Couldn’t have done this without your help

I highly recommend this program, it works & Dave provided me wonderful support. He called to say “I got your rebate check,it will take longer if I mail it” He told me he will hand it in person. Perfect time for the holiday & we got the check so quick! Thanks Union Home Services!

The AFGE Union Home Services real estate benefit worked wonders for us. We bought a new construction home and it took 11 months to complete. The constant follow-up from our AFGE Union Home Services advocate gave us peace of mind and left us feeling confident. We got our rebate check just in time for Christmas. Thanks to Union Home Services we got to enjoy this Christmas as first time home buyers in our new home.

Honestly, I was nervious about going thru the process of selling my home. Called Union Home Services, spoke with Dave. He soon had me connected with a wonderful realtor Maria. She got busy and got my house on the market. Within 48 hours my house was under contract. Wow!! The whole experience was great. Bonus, I just received my Union Home Services rebate. I highly recommend Union Home Services.

I was skeptical in the beginning, why would someone give me money for selling my house? And how many hoops do I have to jump through? The process couldn’t have been easier. Apply, wait to be contacted by a realtor, which only took a day or two, and collect my rebate a week or two after closing. It doesn’t get any better than that. And thank you to Dave for finding the right realtor which had my house sold in two days!

Union Home Services took so much of the stress out of selling our house. This was huge for us especially since we were living over a thousand miles away from the home we were selling. The first realtor we were assigned was highly qualified, but it wasn’t a good fit personality wise. I call my Union Home Services advocate and it was no problem at all. After just one phone call to our Union Home Services advocate we had a new wonderful realtor, who worked very well with us. Our realtor lived close to the house. She was very familiar with the neighborhood and what houses like ours were selling for. She provided good advice on what “fixes” to do on the house. Just as important she knew what items weren’t important to do, saving us time and money. She truly worked on our behalf. She even met an electrician at our house when we weren’t in town. The rebate was more than other similar programs. It paid for the repairs to get the house ready to put on the market. I would highly recommend Union Home Services to any union member buying or selling a home. The service was fabulous, and the rebate was awesome!

Our recent experience with Union Home Services was truly as positive and seamless as we could imagine. The RE Agent they provided us with was first class in working with us in both the sale and purchase transactions. And at the end of it all, a couple of weeks after moving in, rebate checks arrived in the mail that was a nice bonus. I truly do not know why any union member would not use this service other than they just don’t know about it.

Dave, this was a great service that was provided to us. We had to take a small loss on our home when we sold it but with this service it helped. We were able to avoid a short sale that would damage our credit by looking forward to this return. Again, thanks for everything. Anyone looking into this service should definately use it! It is an awesome benefit, especially during times like this! Lisa and Travis V U.S. Coast Guard

Using my AFGE Union Home Services Benefits was the best thing that I ever could have done. AFGE Union Home Services Benefits is very easy to use. All you have to do is answer a few easy questions on their enrollment form and they will provide you a local realtor to help you find the home of your dreams. The only problem I had was with the realtor lady we were given and the only one to blame for not getting a new realtor was on me because AFGE Union Home Services will find you a new realtor if you are not happy with your assigned Realtor. We would defiantly use the AFGE Union Home Service Benefits again either for myself or my family members in the future but what I won’t do again is put up with another bad realtor agent and the first signs of problems I will be calling AFGE Union Home Services for help. AFGE Union Home Service Benefits was so fast to get me my money after we closed on our home. I had my check in hand from AFGE Union Home Service in less than a month of closing. It would have been faster but with the end of year holidays the mail was delayed. I already told my family members to contact me as soon as they are ready to sell or buy a new home and I will set them up with the AFGE Union Home Service Benefits so they can benefit off of their new home. Over all we were very pleased. Thank you, AFGE Union Home Service Benefits!

I would like to thank the folks at the AFGE Union Home Services benefit. I am very happy with your service and will recomend it to others. I received my rebate check just like you said I would.

I am very pleased with the AFGE Union Home Services real estate benefit. The process was very easy. Dave explained everything very clearly and he responds quickly when called or emailed. I was told that I would receive a rebate check within 1 month after closing, and I received it within that time frame, exactly as promised. I highly recommend utilizing this benefit if you are buying or selling a home.

Just this past December, following an in-depth presentation by UHS, the AFL-CIO Western States Council voted unanimously to recommend them (UHS) for partnership with the Union Plus Program.

Roberta, my Union Home Services agent, was AMAZING at supporting me through my first home-buying experience. She heard my must haves and nailed my dream home. Being a first time home buyer can be a very scary process but I can assure you that your assigned realtor and Union Home Services will be there every step of the way ensuring that you have the best experience possible. One week after my home closed, she contacted me to bring me MY REBATE! My experience was really too good to be true. Roberta is the only realtor I will refer. I encourage all union members to use Union Home services. There agents are the best and the rebate was FANTASTIC!

Union Home Services sounded too good to be true. People with real estate experience helping union members buy a house… and get a rebate, too? It turned out to be true. Dave was very supportive, offering tips on comparing mortgage deals and commiserating when USDA took longer to close than expected. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and always responded quickly to phone calls or emails. As a first-time home buyer, it was comforting to know that 1)I could contact Dave at any time and he would try to help and 2)shortly after I moved in I would have a rebate check to help with paint costs, utility hook-ups and even the first month’s mortgage payment! Union Home Services is a great deal for union members. Thanks, Dave.

Union Home Services exceeded our expectations. Being a first time home buyer, UHS looked out for us by providing an experienced Realtor, a trusted lendor and peace of mind that if a problem arose, they’d be there to help. There were several times when we contacted them about areas of concern in the process. Each time, they were prompt and professional in responding and closing the loop. I’d recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home. And, especially if you are a first time home buyer!

This service is great for Union Members, their children, or parents who want to buy or sell a home. I just received a rebate check for $1,013.40 on a home they helped me sell! I signed up for the service and a local Realtor contacted me immediately. We listed the house for sale near the high end of its price range on August 4th and ten days later the house was under contract for sale at full price and on September 21st the sale closed. Now I have an extra $1,013.40 in my pocket thanks to my Union and Union Home Services, Inc.

This letter is to express my absolute satisfaction with my Union Home Services Realtor, Angelica. She is a really great Realtor. Angelica went above and beyond my expectations, and made the purchase of my home much easier than I could have ever imagined. I commend Angelica on her attention to detail and professionalism. A couple months before meeting Angelica, I had canceled the sale of a home purchase that I had in escrow. I had issues that I attribute to the real estate agent I had, and switched to another agent. I did not have much success with the other agent, dealing with issues such as consistently being tardy to appointments, and the feeling of purchasing a home that the agent liked, rather than what I liked. When I finally contacted Angelica, I was very discouraged and cynical of agents. Angelica was a referral through a friend who had use the Union Home Services Real Estate benefit. I was skeptical because the first two agents were also referred to me by friends. I told Angelica of my bad experience’s, my frustrations and my expectations of her. She turned everything around for me. I can’t say enough good things about the Realtor that Union Home Services assigned to help me. Angelica became a friend who was genuinely looking out for my best interests. She has an exceptional blend of professionalism and being personable. Angelica listens to your concerns and interests. Every time I had a question for Angelica, I was promptly given attention and service. I could always count on her to give me responses and information to allow me to make an informed decision that is definitely needed when making an important decision such as buying a home. Union Home Services has great Realtors representing them. I am very happy with the home I purchased using Angelica and the Union Home Services real estate benefit. I would recommend Union Home Services and Angleica to my friends and family with complete confidence, in fact, I already have. I am extremely thankful for the service and friendship that was attained through this process. Using Union Home Services has been a great experience and the rebate I received was the icing on the cake.

What a great Benefit. My Realtor, Angelica and her assistant Ada were the best. What a great team of people to work with. I would highly recommend any union members use this benefit. I received my rebate just before Christmas and am so happy to be in my new home.

I got the rebate check in today’s mail. Thank you!! You offer a wonderful service, and I will surely use your services again and pass along my great experience to anyone I know who is buying or selling a home.

I received the check today and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for being so supportive throughout the process. You provide a great service and offer great customer care and most importantly you follow through in a timely manner, which lately seems to be a lost courtesy. My agent was fabulous I would recommend her without reservation in the future. This is an unbelievably great program that I have recommended to my fellow co-workers. Thank you again for making this all possible!

I happened upon the Real Estate Benefit on the AFGE website one evening. I filled out the information and Dave Cornelson was in contact with me within 24 hours. I was assigned a wonderful realtor, Tammy, who helped me every step of the way. This was my first home-buying experience and I felt like I had friends holding my hand at every turn. The lender Home Bridge Financial has been terrific. Michelle from Home Bridge is more like a long-distance friend than a lender representative. I can’t say enough great things about this experience and the icing on top was a rebate check of $830! I am absolutely thrilled with my new home. Thanks again to Dave and everyone… I don’t think I could have done it without you all.
