Discover Fractional Home Conversion... A New Alternative for Real Estate Professionals

 

(Note: Don't miss our free and low cost educational resources at the bottom of this page!) 

 

Are you a Realtor looking for a way to offer your clients something UNIQUE?

 

If you work with buyers… then you know the frustration your clients have when they become emotionally attached to a home they can’t afford. You’ve seen them running the numbers over and over again to see if they can stretch enough to be able to buy their dream vacation home.

Would you like to come to the rescue and offer buyers a solution where they CAN AFFORD their dream vacation home?  

 

If you work with sellers… then you have probably seen clients that can’t accept less for their home, but less is all buyers are willing to offer – while each month of delay costs them thousands as monthly expenses eat away the seller’s savings and equity.

Would you like to help them sell their home at the asking price by targeting a whole new group of potential buyers?

 

If either (or both) of these scenarios describe you then we have a suggestion…

 

Take a look at fractional ownership!

 

We'll be perfectly honest, while it doesn’t fit every home or every situation, it is a great alternative for many vacation home buyers and sellers (and their real estate agents!).

Fractional ownership vacation homes are part of a growing niche market that is blossoming in the current economic slowdown we are experiencing.

As a real estate professional, you have the basic knowledge necessary to profit off of this trend all you need are a few more basic tools for your toolbox.

 

Did you know that only 7% of the fractionals sold in 2007 were sold by Realtors – the majority were sold by fractional developers.

 

Now a new model is emerging that is less dependent on developers and more focused on individual vacation home sellers and their real estate agents.

 

According to the National Association of Realtors, the average vacation home owner spends less than 2 months in his or her vacation home! When you add that with the fact that the average vacation home (also according the NAR) is valued at approximately $300,000 – there is a lot of money being thrown down the drain through traditional vacation home ownership!

Buyers and sellers alike are finding this out, which is why they are looking for fractional ownership solutions from their real estate agents. This is why we believe YOU should position yourself to prosper on this rising trend!

 

You don’t have to take our word for it. Do some research on the internet and you’ll turn up quotes like these:

 

New York Times: “The younger generation of buyers is viewing it as an alternative to full ownership because of the ease. You’re not paying for when the property is vacant,” said John Melicharek, head of the tourism industry practice at the law firm of Baker Hostetler in Orlando, Fla. “It’s become a convenient way to own a second home without all of the problems.” New York Times, Fractionals: A Warm Spot in a Cooling Market, April 13, 2007

 

MarketWatch: "Fractional ownership has grown some 500% in the last 3 years. More developers and more owners are seeing the light, and the financers will follow. Expect this concept to be mainstream in five years" MarketWatch, Own a $2 million vacation home: Fractional ownership may make the impossible possible, July 30, 2007

 

BankRate: “The more expensive the property, the more it makes sense. "When an oceanfront lot went from $400,000 to $2 million, that's when people started looking at fractional ownership," Davis says.”  BankRate, Fractional ownership: Get a piece of a vacation home

 

So the question isn’t whether fractional ownership is a trend worth riding – the question is “How are you going to position yourself to profit from it?”

 

Just like we need oxygen to live – we need information before we act.

That’s where we come in. We’ve done all the research for you so you can get a head start on the basic education of shared ownership. This way you can focus your energy on what your next move is rather than worrying about where you are going to get your education.  

We’ll help you first get the education you need, and then when you’re ready to make a move into the fractional ownership arena, we’ll be here to guide you.
