The GrandShare System

GrandShare is the premier expert on fractionally-owned, truly private second homes.  Since 2007, sellers and their agents have looked to us for assistance through the entire process.  We provide marketing support for selling, all the documents, all the paperwork and all the after-closing property management and administration.  Be aware! This is not timeshare.  This is undivided, fee simple title and interest.  At virtually any destination in the country/world, a second home can be owned at a fraction of the cost. We’ll show you how.

At the core of our business is The GrandShare System, which forms the basis for the collection of services we provide. Although simple on its face, the GrandShare system is really quite complex. Through years of development, we have succeeded in creating a patent pending system, which addresses and satisfies all of the obligatory hurdles one must overcome, as well as the potential stumbling blocks one might encounter, when buying or selling fractional real estate, particularly for the independent project. We have also gone far beyond this by building into our system various features that make fractional ownership hassle-free and a pleasure to be a part of.

If want to learn the entire process before actually selling, join us in our daily, LIVE internet workshops (for registered users only).  Check out our Schedule of Events.  Then sign up and join us.

The beauty of The GrandShare System is that it is both adaptable and scaleable. No two projects will be the same, yet each project will comprise common elements. We know that each project will require some level of customization and we are happy to provide this – in fact we encourage it. This is actually the part of fractional real estate that is fun, and the part that will ensure lasting satisfaction. Although the other less appealing aspects are necessary, you can be assured that all of the details will be taken care of so that you can make the most of your time.

The GrandShare system comprises many components. Which components of the system will be put to work for you will depend on who you are and your intended objectives.

The GrandShare system facilitates participation in fractional real estate by individuals in the following categories:

1. Buyers– those wanting to purchase a fractional interest in one or more properties
2. Sellers – those wanting to fractionalize a currently owned property, with fractional interests being sold to a group of buyers
3. Real Estate Professionals – those looking to assist clients in fractional real estate purchase or sale transactions
4. Developers and Builders – those wanting to market and sell fractional interests in a recently built or renovated property
5. Investors – those wanting to invest in the fractional real estate market

GrandShare also assists others, such as property management companies, lenders, mortgage brokers, title companies and others wanting to integrate fractional real estate into their business. Please contact us for more information on how we can meet the needs of your business.
