Berry on Fractions & Shared Ownership

June 4th

Star has signed to advise, market and sell villa-hotel units and then fractions at a simply georgeous resort in Tucson, Suguaro Ranch [saguaroranch.net] The developer, Stephen Phinny, has designed a masterpiece of a property.

So, I just finished answering the 10 top questions in the fertile mind of Scott Burlingame regarding the future of fractions. I had lots of stuff to give him as the business is booming. But, I've said that before.

A wonderful trip to Idaho on Thursday to see 600 acres across Cascade Lake [McCall area] from Tamarack the hot, new ski and summer resort. The property will be mixed use leading with lakefront fractional homes and the unual other mix for 500 total units. What a great area!

Mac MacEwan, marketer par excellence, has moved to Boise, so we made the ride together, and discussed ways Star and Mac can move forward our mutual goals.
