When it comes to buying recreational property, there are two big questions most people ask: “How much will we use it?” and “Can we afford it?”

The financial world is changing rapidly. Even the most affluent families are reviewing ways in which they invest in their recreational lifestyles. Historically, people of means have purchased and maintained luxury resort properties that they only have time to enjoy a small fraction of the time. It has always been smart to have a partner (co-owner) in a resort home to offset costs but now, more than ever, it is becoming essential to consider alternatives to sole ownership.

Ownermatch, in partnership with Fernie Real Estate, makes it possible to invest in the wonderful lifestyles we desire for our families in a more affordable, economically responsible way through “Exclusive Co-Ownership”.

Unlike fractional ownership projects offered by developers, this co-ownership program means that any recreational property can be co-owned; The key to success is matching participants according to strict criteria that determine both the perfect properties and the perfect co-ownership “fit”. All aspects of the program are handled professionally, from confidential profiling of potential participants to the legal agreements that protect each party’s interests, and a comprehensive management strategy that ensures cost-effective, hassle-free enjoyment of the property.

Ownermatch International facilitates smart, well-structured co-ownerships of luxury resort properties. The formula is simple and practical… two well-matched co-owners… half the cost… half the use of the property… both with 100% of the luxury lifestyle (and with more than enough time available to enjoy it)… and both with the expectation of “good old-fashioned” long-term real estate appreciation.

“Exclusive Co-Ownership” is a perfect solution for our times… all the privileges of private (sole) ownership at half the cost. It is an intelligent option for both current owners faced with high, ongoing ownership costs and substantial debt exposure and for new buyers looking for smart ways to invest in their lifestyles while the real estate market is offering tremendous value.

You no longer need to choose between a place on the ocean and a ski lodge. You can enjoy tremendous multi-location lifestyle options previously only experienced by movie stars and NHL players!

And The Fernie Real Estate Company is ready to help you make it happen.
