What Sets Our Finance Services Apart

  • Commercial Real Estate Investments

    Diversifying Your Portfolio With Alternative Investments

    Real Estate can be a lucrative source of income, especially when investing in a community with several apartments, townhomes, or units because tenants are consistently paying monthly rent or fees to the owners. When you invest in real estate, you too become an owner, and potentially reap the benefits of another source of income, without taking part in day-to-day operations and management.

  • History of Development Success

    Guidance Backed by Experience

    We have decades of experience in real estate finance and weathered all stages of the economy. Our knowledge of what’s worked well in the past, while always keeping an eye on the future, allows us to provide Commercial Real Estate investment opportunities.

United Investor Services, Corp. represents the finance arm of the United Group of Companies, Inc., an awarding-winning and nationally recognized real estate company specializing in development, financing, acquisitions, repositioning, and professional management.
