Recently there has been more buzz about using fractional home ownership to sell high end homes that have been languishing on the market. The idea being that to split ownership between 4, 8 or even 12 owners makes it more affordable to own a vacation home that you would only use for a few weeks per year anyway.

Does anyone in this group have any experience? What are the benefits/pitfalls? How does this compare with the stigma of timeshares? Thanks for any thoughts.

Interesting that you should start this topic as we represent (in our marketing consulting practice) the leading expert in the world on luxury fractionals. He developed the very first private residence club in Telluride, CO. which launched this $3 billion industry. We will post some content here soon on the topic and submit some articles and blog posts, too. THERE IS A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR AGENTS TO EARN AS MUCH AS 10% COMMISSIONS IN THIS MARKET SEGMENT.
