The Tucson Ownermatch Team met recently for a Luxury Tour of four fabulous Ownermatch homes in the amazing Canyon Pass subdivision. The kick-off meeting was attended by Ownermatch Southwest President, Dudley Merkel. The group was treated to brunch at the home of Regional Associate Maria Anemone, one of the fabulous properties available for "Exclusive Co-ownership" in the Ownermatch program. The team is planning to host an Ownermatch Launch Event in the coming weeks to coincide with the start of the busy recreational season in Arizona.

Times are definitely changing in the luxury real estate market. Creative new solutions are needed for Arizona’s many part-time, second home owners. Ownermatch is just such a solution.
Ownermatch provides an innovative formula that cuts the cost of owning a second home or recreational property in half. This is accomplished by facilitating two “well-matched” co-owners, who each provide half the investment capital and half the ongoing ownership costs. They can then each enjoy up to six months “exclusive” use of the property every year according to a pre-determined schedule. Simple, practical and cost-effective. A Win-Win for both parties.

In order to make the “Exclusive Co-ownership” Program both convenient and cost-effective, Ownermatch is building alliances with respected local professionals who can deliver the design and management components necessary to provide hassle-free enjoyment of the property.
