The Distinction

Research and Compare

Equity Estates versus Second Homes

Why be tied down to the enormous cost, upkeep and management of one, two or even three vacation homes when you can choose from more than 40 Equity Estates residences all over the world for a fraction of the price of owning just one home?

Equity Estates versus Five-Star Hotels

Stays at even the top-rated resorts and hotels can’t match the size and creature comforts of our luxury private residences. And all hotel stays are sunk costs for guests. Equity Estates offers quality, certainty and the opportunity to enjoy asset appreciation you can bank down the road.

Equity Estates versus Residence & Destination Clubs

While it seems that every club offers inviting pictures of the upscale travel lifestyle, none match Equity Estates’ financial safety, security and upside of true ownership. In addition, we work hard to uncover unique, one-of-a-kind residences that don’t fit into the “cookie-cutter” acquisition model of the larger destination clubs.

The Open Book Policy

80% of capital contributions are placed into a real estate acquisition account and deployed into real estate, versus 50% or less for the typical timeshare, fractional or destination club. The remaining 20% of capital contributions establish an operating account at the fund level to pay for sales, marketing, legal and other fund-related expenses. Furthermore, Equity Estates is committed and legally bound to full financial transparency, with annual audits and appraisals shared among all members (which most fractionals and destinations clubs avoid).

Continuous Communication

Our management team is committed to constant communication with our owner members regarding all aspects of their membership interest. Just ask them. We review detailed service-related surveys after every trip, and are always interested in preferences for desired destinations. In the leading destination clubs, you’re just a number…member 2,961. At Equity Estates, our owner members are trusted partners and treated as such.
