We are a group of homeowners who hired an investigator to look into Ron Shearer because we are alarmed by his bullying and his refusal to obtain competitive bids or allow access to HOA records as required by state law. If you are reading this review, hopefully you are doing so before hiring Ron and UNC. Check the internet and the Better Business Bureau website for many negative reviews. Search by the key words and phrases used in these reviews, such as "lying", "dishonest", "false advertising", "rip-off", "deceitful", "incompetent", "not a company you can trust", "attempting to siphon money to developer", "hidden connections" to HOA, and "uses only a couple of contractors with no competing bids". By his own admission to our assembled HOA, any positive reviews were written by Ron Shearer about himself using false identities. We found several lawsuits involving him, including civil suits for fraud and defamation. Ron Shearer is a licensed real estate broker in California, #0107****, with a company called Union National, a parent company of UNC. Ron is the designated officer of Union National and Brockway Springs of Tahoe HOA in Kings Beech.
