Berry on Fractions & Shared Ownership

Saturday, May 27th

Got back into TripAdvisor.com, a site that gives user ratings for rental properties. So, decided to look up projects I've done or been involved in. Is this a self serving statement, but they all rated either four of five or five of five. Hummm. Well, we knew we wanted quality, and at least through this site it's being deliverd. For the shared ownership projects the reviews are from the sales period, when rentals occurred, or after sales if there is a rental program.

So, Manhattan Club scored big time, as did Northstar Club and Snowmass Club as well as Cristi Club. And, a-way back in 1974 we did Vail run, and lo and behold, 4 of 5 today! That is a suprise.

Our Avenue Plaze in New Orleans a kinda suprise 4 or 5. I thought it would average out at a 3.5 to 4.0. So much for what I know.

Not listed were Brockway Springs, the 1st timeshare in the World that gave a deed, Casa de la Playa in LaJolla, Cliff Club at Snowbird, Schooner Landing in OR, Kingsbury Crossing in NV and the Cottages at National, Pinehurst.
