Thank you for visiting! Please take minute to find out what we're all about!

GrandShare is a Utah based company that is considered by many as the pioneer of "shared ownership". We've created a whole new market for buying & selling real estate by creating the only online marketplace for the shared ownership real estate opportunity! Our marketplace offers independent, privately owned properties all for sale in fractions.

With GrandShare.com, now you can find a property you desire and purchase a fraction of it! Then, we make owning, operating, and sharing use of that property easy and worry-free with our Co-Ownership Operating Agreement! With this agreement, we've worked all the details so you can get back to a stress free vacation!

Now don't let our name GrandShare confuse you, because this is not a timeshare! This is actual ownership of a home that is shared by multiple parties, which means they all own a portion of the title and equity! 

So what are all the products/services GrandShare provides?

• Online Marketplace & Listing Service
• Network for Buyers, Sellers, and Real Estate Professionals to connect
• Marketing assistance for Sellers & Listing Agents
• All the Transaction & Closing Documents
• Property Management
• Expense Management Software
• Client Support and Consultations
• Book and Training Course material for Real Estate Professionals

WE ARE NEITHER a buyer nor a seller of real estate. We make the transaction possible, however, we are not a brokerage.

The Low Cost of Entry for Buyers

The cost of purchasing a second home and operating it is expensive; but still, it is a luxury that many desire. Let’s face it, in today’s current economic climate taking the traditional approach to purchasing a second home will require a 20% down payment. Here’s some simple math. If you wanted to purchase a $500,000 home, it would require a $100,000 down payment. But what if you bought a 1/6th share of a $600,000 home? Then, what would have been your down payment, covers the entire purchase cost.  You didn’t have to take out a loan and further, you are only left with 1/6th of all the costs of operating it. Plus, you get to use the property a full 8 weeks throughout each year through use of the GrandShare Co-Ownership Operating Agreement. Now that is smart money.

A Smart Option for Sellers

In this recessed economy many Americans have been forced to downgrade their lifestyle by selling off their luxuries. While reluctant to sell their vacation home many have felt there was no other choice. Until now!

Shared ownership by GrandShare offers a smart option to sellers! Sellers can now keep a portion their vacation home and lower their costs of owning and operating it. They can choose the amount of shares they would like to offer, and even keep the majority.

Conserving Our Landscape Footprint

The total U.S. inventory for recreational real estate is upwards of 12 million homes and growing. Consequently, many of these homes occupy land in popular travel destinations. The size of this inventory is evidence that many people desire a second home, and many will naturally desire to have it in a destination hotspot. But what happens when continued development in these treasured destinations becomes OVERDEVELOPMENT? The land becomes overrun and the natural resources are raided and become overused. At this point, many feel the area loses its luster.  As a result, this can create a myriad of problems for the community. That is why many communities in popular travel destinations are understandably worried, and they are organizing programs to keep overdevelopment out.

GrandShare has much to offer to all these destinations and communities. Our shared ownership product minimizes the landscape footprint because it maximizes stewardship opportunities in already owned and existing real estate. By creating a new sharing option for owning, with better value attached, prospective buyers are more likely to shop in the existing home market before looking to build on their own. This slows the building rate of new housing developments and conserves the space that exists there. This also introduces a more efficient use of the area’s natural resources, which everybody benefits from.

So you can see that shared ownership and shared use is not just about economics. It’s also about social stewardship and responsibility. It’s about conserving our landscape footprint and preserving the beauty around us. This fundamental concept is at the core of GrandShare. It is GrandShare’s mission to give back to the land and the communities across the nations as we work hard to advance this innovation.

What will we do with your pledge dollars?

We are in great need of hiring website developers! We need a development team to help us build better website infrastructure, to increase website functionality, and to build a strong online presence! This will greatly help us provide a better platform for handling increased traffic before we launch our social media marketing campaigns. Also it will help us ensure a great online user experience, which is crucial to our success! 

At this time, we are hoping to raise $20,000 from this crowdfunding effort. This money will be invested into these crucial website improvements before on to the next stage of our development. After the improvements have been made, GrandShare.com will be fully functional and ready for you to use! 

In our next phase, we will be seeking additional funding to help us tackle some bigger goals. So in preparation for that, we invite qualified investors to contact us.

Founded in 2001 and based in Park City, Utah, GrandShare is the leader in shared ownership real estate. What began as something very personal – a desire to partner with others in the ownership of a second home – later evolved into a proven concept sought by numerous others.  Others around the country have asked us how to demonstrate the concept and process for them.  We have been written about in publications like the New York Times, the Scotsman Guide, Realtor Magazine and numerous others.  And we have been invited to lecture in states from coast to coast.  Today, we’re please to say not only is the concept valid, it has emerged with an actual operating history.
