Absolutely! Your comment and another on this thread inspired us to explore extending our product offering to include people who already have their co-owners in mind and are just lo…

Agree, this is our biggest hurdle on the buyer side. But thanks for the feedback and support!

Yes, the trust remains in place and the legal rights of all the owners are unaffected. The co-owners can simply find another property management company. Even in the event Ancana i…

Yes! We have started focusing on areas that appeal the most to US buyers (Cabo, Tulum, Puerto Vallarta, etc). Most of our marketing to date has been geared towards the Mexico marke…

I'd say we are streamlining the decades-old co-ownership model more than we are reinventing timeshares :)

Really love this idea. We started Ancana to make this opportunity available to everyone, even if they didn't have a group of people they knew who wanted to co-own a home. But there…

Curious why you think this is awful. The order rotates each year so for a home sold in 1/4 fractions, every owner would get 1st choice once in a 4 year period. Then it starts over …

Love the creativity! Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately from your perspective), Ancana creates the LLC for each home so people can't game the system. We do allow people to buy mor…

haha love it

Love some of these ideas! We are getting a lot of interest from digital nomads looking at this not just as an investment in a vacation home, but as a remote office for a few months…

One area we differ from a timeshare is an Ancana home is an investment in real estate. If the property increases in value, you capture the appreciation and if you decide to sell yo…

demand for this model of ownership is exploding. From a buyer's perspective there is no functional difference between the primary and secondary market. It is certainly more liquid …

Ancana steps in and takes over the share and finds another buyer. Other co-owners are protected in this case.

We want people to use the home! Our goal in founding Ancana was to open up the vacation home market to more people. We see these homes as places to make lifelong memories with frie…

The fractional ownership model is taking off, look at Pacaso's success in the US. Just as there is strong demand for the primary sale, the secondary market will also likely see a a…

Hmmm, is the dropdown in the upper right showing "EN"? We realize there is some bugginess on the site, we are non-technical founders haha. We have a new site launching in a week or…

Our investment trusts are legally binding and created by attorneys. Each prospective buyer is more than welcome to have these agreements looked at by their own lawyer if they'd lik…

This is a top focus for us from a product perspective. What's interesting through our research is the overlap is probably not as big as we assumed. Some people want to use the home…

this is really great feedback, thanks!

We actually think we'll have the opposite effect! Single-owner vacation homes are used less than 60 days a year and often sit vacant. With Ancana each owner purchases the number of…

A majority of owners need to agree before moving forward (so 3-1 or 5-3 in the examples you gave). The threshold increases for more costly expenses

Thanks for the feedback, this is an embarrassing oversight and was not meant to mislead. The testimonials are from actual Ancana buyers but we did use the Wix stock photos. Andres …

oh nice! I grew up in El Dorado Hills, off of Highway 50

Right, the fractional ownership model has been around for decades. We are making it more accessible and streamlining an otherwise complicated process. As you can see from this thre…

This is great feedback, perhaps our explanation wasn't clear. The scheduling system isn't automatic, each owner has the flexibility to book stays whenever they'd like (the booking …
