Authenticity · Trustworthy
Kindness · Accountability
Building meaningful relationships is a focal point of UVH. If there is something that legally cannot be advised on, you'll be quickly connected with a large network of trusted professionals in various sectors so you have what you need to feel empowered in all of your decisions.
Inclusivity · Equality
UVH treats all of clients equally, period. We deeply believe in and stand by offering a boutique-style, premium quality real estate experience regardless of income, budget, age, gender, race, or sexual orientation. UVH believes that everyone deserves a safe place to call home.
Competency
Curiosity · Growth
It can be easy to fall into routine and habit — but we believe that in doing so, it lays the perfect breeding ground for complacency. As a “forever student,” it's top-of-mind to stay in the know regarding real estate, marketing, tech, and design trends, as well as community assistance programs and grants.
Community
It’s not just what you say, but what you do. In addition to attending various volunteer events that touch on several different initiatives, UVH has made a commitment to donate 2% of gross income from real estate sales to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh and Ulster County Habitat for Humanity which provide channels for all to become homeowners.
