1. Current Owners of “under-utilized” luxury vacation homes
2. New Buyers looking for smart lifestyle investment opportunities.
3. Savvy Investors who appreciate that a 50/50 Co-owner will make their investment a more prudent one.
4. Affluent Lifestyle Consumers who desire more than one vacation home ( i.e. north/south, summer/winter, mountain ski/desert golf, etc). Invest in, and enjoy, two different lifestyle locations for the same cost as owning one property, in one location, on your own.

The best locations are in premium resort areas. Today’s affluent consumers are looking for maximum lifestyle experiences (ocean front, ski-in/ski-out, premium golf communities, etc). They want easy access to world-class recreational activities. Many also want the excitement of nearby local nightlife, shopping and fine dining. Others just want relaxation and complete privacy. There are options (and “matches”) for everyone.

Turn-key properties that are well-located, beautifully furnished and provide instant “wow-factor” are best. The more luxury features they have the better, as each owner is only paying half the cost for their fantastic lifestyle. Double or triple garages are perfect as they allow room for each owner to keep a vehicle and/or recreational toys. Lockable storage space for owners, while absent, is essential and can be easily incorporated into most luxury homes.

A vacation home is a valuable asset. It is both a real estate investment and a lifestyle investment. Lifestyle returns are easy to calculate. First, how much does the property cost to own (capital cost, maintenance, taxes, services, etc). Second, how many days each year will you enjoy the property? Regardless of expectations that the value of the property will go up over time, if your resort property is not going to be used “cost-effectively” on a regular basis, you are a perfect candidate for 50/50 Co-Ownership.

Our first consideration is the recreational area of interest and seasonal usage requirements (eg. summer only/winter only/multi-season use). Then, preferred locations within that area, design preferences, size, budget, and lifestyle amenities desired. A property must deliver the lifestyle desired by both parties? Pets, allergies or special-needs access issues are then examined, along with any special concerns or considerations. If all factors point to a possible match then the financial strength of candidates follows, including whether or not, any financing is required. There are like-minded “matches” for everyone. All personal information is held in strictest confidence.

Thank you for securing an "Ownermatch" for our condo in Whistler. Your care and professionalism were of great value in making the partnership come together. I am an advocate of the Ownermatch Program and feel strongly that it will work well for many. R.D.

Thanks so much for putting our co-ownership together with L and K. They are a great couple. Throughout the matching process, you were professional, low key, and never applied any pressure to make a decision. Clearly, you wanted the match to work long term. We will recommend you to our friends. Y.M.

We would never have purchased our place on the lake in Kelowna on our own, but now that we have it in our life, we cannot imagine being without it. A partner sharing the costs makes it “make sense”. It is a huge part of our family time together. Thank you for helping the dream come true. L.O.

Calgary, Alberta

25 days of skiing this season! More than we have had in years! Having a partner in our Whistler place has taken a lot of financial pressure off and we feel more like enjoying the place than ever. It was the perfect solution for us. Thank you for your guidance in bringing it all together. L.S.

The lifestyle we’re enjoying in Scottsdale would never have happened without you. The entertaining we are doing is over the top! We would not be benefiting from a co-ownership arrangement without your help and conviction that it was the smartest thing for us to do. What can I say? You were right. G.T.

I have been an Ownermatch client for over 5 years now, strategically partnered with another couple that has the same values and respect for personal property that I have. We co-own a beautiful Sedona, Arizona residence that has brought many happy memories for us both. I am extremely satisfied with Ownermatch and would highly recommend their program. J.H.

For over 10 years I was a co-investor in a beautiful recreational property in Whistler with Wayne Wilkins, founder of Ownermatch International. It allowed us to enjoy an incredible lifestyle experience with our families and friends while paying only 50% of the costs. I am a huge fan of Ownermatch. H.O.

Whistler, British Columbia

I have known Wayne Wilkins as a local business person, and as a friend, for many years. As a real estate professional, I watched the development of Ownermatch with great interest. What an excellent product to offer both buyers and sellers that makes it possible to co-own and enjoy both a summer property and a winter property for the same cost as owning one. H.C.

Whistler, British Columbia

I met Wayne Wilkins in 1989 when I represented him in the purchase of Brew Creek Lodge, one of the most unique properties in the Whistler area. I have followed the development of the fractional ownership industry for many years and have no hesitation that, with Wayne’s unique approach and commitment; he will make Ownermatch a success. R.S.

Wayne Wilkins has been a client of this office for over 30 years and has demonstrated his ability to define a business opportunity and develop it from start-up to success. As an accountant and business consultant, I worked closely with Wayne for many years and have no doubt he will make Ownermatch International a big success story. L.H.
