What is ? It is primarily used to purchase and own a second or vacation home in a resort area for a fraction of the total cost. Fractional Ownership of real estate is the fastest growing segment in resort estates today. The purchaser will have ownership in a high-end luxury home conveyed by deed and can be resold rented or willed providing a legacy that can be left for family with all the amenities one can imagine. Fractional Ownership is opening doors to many who want to own a share in private aviation for business and leisure yachts and multi-million dollar luxury homes in resort areas all over the world.
"For a rapidly increasing number of Americans. "fractional-ownership" is a perfect trade-off. Owners get a beautiful high-quality house in a fantastic location with great services and amenities and a carefree vacation lifestyle for 10 percent or 15 percent of what they would have to pay to buy the house on their own. The costs of buying and running these often expensive properties is shared by a number of people and the homes instead of sitting idle most of the time are nearly always being used.
Fractionals often called residence clubs form one of the fastest-growing segments of the vacation-home market..."
struggles to cope with one of the deepest recessions in half a century fractional ownership continues to hold its own leading long-term analysts to conclude the various shared-ownership programs are filling a growing need for new travel options.
While the observation refers to the dramatic increase in shared ownership of jet aircraft for business travel the sentiment also applies to another growing area of shared ownership.
Fractional Ownership of a vacation home or condominium while sometimes being referred to as "vacation ownership" is confused with another shared ownership plan called "timeshare". This is a mistake. While the various Fractional Ownership plans may share some characteristics with its cousin timeshare the differences are significant enough to consider Fractional Ownership in a category of its own.
Fractional Ownership is really quite different. Timeshare is a
product for the broadest segment of the population and as such is a wonderful concept that gives millions of families the opportunity to vacation a week or two in locations and accommodations that may have been beyond possibility without that form of shared ownership. Fractional Ownership is a different product. Ownership of more than a couple or a few weeks in its various configurations and usage patterns is regarded as Fractional Ownership. That may be anything from a one twelfth ownership (4 weeks of usage) to a one quarter ownership (13 weeks of usage). 2002 figures provided by shows that 76% of fractional owners have five weeks of usage or more with 43% having thirteen weeks of Quarter Ownership.
It is the length of time available to the owner that is significant. Fractional Ownership is more than a vacation.. much more!" ...

Inquiries and non offensive comments are always welcomed. Thank you.
Wow that is a very nice project. Can you give me more information?Are you going to be giving preview tours? If so when? I would like to get a chance to preview sometime. How far from Atlanta is the project? Are you offering any referral fee for an agent to send you potential clients?
Donna. This place is absolutely lovely with so many amenities! I love the new concept of fractional ownership as well! I bet these will sell before they are built!
Dwight: I have you on my list to send you more specific information and I will be writing ongoing blogs hopefully weekly as this project progresses. I am already getting quite a bit of interest. We have an exclusive service who will handle the previews and I can put you on the list for that and they will contact you. This resort is approximately 1 1/2 hours from Atlanta (maybe less). I will be offering a referral fee for sure to any agent who wants to send potential clients my way. I'm thinking it will be 30% but I don't have the final commission information as yet. I feel sure it will not be any less than that. What do you think? Do you think that is fair? I greatly appreciate your interest.

Keith & Robin: I will greatly appreciate the referrals and the sooner people get on the list the more advantageous it will be for them. "The early bird gets the worm" as they say. I am happy to pay a referral fee as I mentioned to Dwight above. I just don't know exactly what it will be but I'm almost certain it will not be less than 30%. Thank you for your interest and I'm never ever to busy for your referrals! :-)
Carole: Talk about good Feng Shui - this resort is going to be fabulous! The latest studies show that baby boomers want the best of the best in their retirement years without all the work and maintenance and fractional ownership is allowing them to afford several retreats in various resort areas and also get the royal treatment too. I think baby boomers have a lot to look forward too and it's for sure that they are re-defining retirement. It's all about lifestyle and why shouldn't we be able to enjoy all that the rich and famous have enjoyed for so long.
We are seeing some fractional projects in Panama City. This concept could be the way of the future for us to sell high end properties.
Hi. Donna! Forgive my ignorance how different is this concept from time shares? It looks like a gorgeous place--I hope you get a lot of referrals and buyers!
Jeff: Thank you for your comment. When I was in Destin recently. I read a lot of material about fractional ownership with many of the high end resort areas in Florida. All the experts seem to think baby boomers are going to prefer this method of owning real estate.
Yolanda: You asked a great question! Which prompted me to update my post with a link that goes into detail about the differences. Thank you for asking because this is an important point that buyers need to understand.
There's a lot of reading in the above link but you don't have to read it all to get the main jist.
Even in my post the main jist is "Luxury. High-End Resorts with amenities for the rich and famous". See the services part of my post. Plenty of info on google about the differences also but the article referenced above is a good start. Also click on Ragatz and Associates in my post to get more information about fractional ownership in real estate and the distinct differences compared to timeshares.
Donna when you consider how long out of each year many second homes are vacant it makes sense to make the shift to fractional ownership.
Eric: I think this is exactly why we will see a lot more of fractional ownership plus people who own a share in the real estate can come and simply enjoy and be pampered instead of spending a large amount of their time maintaining the home. And they can call ahead and have everything they need waiting on them when they arrive. It's a slice of the good life!
Jeff: I was in Destin around the middle of September so didn't know you then but I'll be sure to visit PC next time. I still haven't made it to Copperhead Lodge but soon very soon.
Great pics and another interesting post. Donna. Here in Destin there is a huge construction company named Yates. Is that your other job? Next time you're in Destin give us a call. We'll show you the changes since the last time you were here. Once again great post!
Robert: I might need to make it my other job so I can spend more time in Destin! Be careful what you ask for. I might just show up on your doorstep someday. LOL
