Getting the most for your Costa Rica home or property means doing more than putting a "For Sale" sign out front. In a competitive market, where new homes for sale are added daily, your listing needs to be seen in a variety of places in order to stand out. And sometimes the right buyer is waiting out of state, or even in another country. To ensure sure your home gets noticed and sells without a hitch for full market value, consider working with a top professional. It could mean the difference between no sale, and the payoff you've been.

              FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP                     

A new trend is being introduced in Tamarindo, solely by CC Vacation Services, and specifically in real estate. Fractional Ownership offers buyers a chance to step into a luxury condominium at a fraction of the price, through a system called fractional ownership.  In it, multiple buyers will become owners of the same piece of property, such as a beautiful ocean view condominium.
 
All buyers are owners with deeds to the property, inscribed in Costa Rica’s National Registry, and they take turns at the property throughout the year.  It is not, however, a timeshare, a point heavily emphasized by the handful of developers beginning to push this model in Costa Rica.

Fractional ownership is among one of the fastest growing segments in international  real estate, it has become an increasingly popular alternative, that allows flexibility for people to purchase a higher priced second residence in a foreign land. Fractional ownership provides buyers with the ability to purchase only as much of a residence as they will actually use, thus only having to pay a fraction of the total cost. A great way to upgrade, because all costs are shared, essentially saving savvy investors money. Upgrading also allows families to purchase a larger and more expensive vacation home.   

Very well established in the Europe and the United States, fractional property sales are just beginning to arrive in Costa Rica. Developers promoting these properties note that they give potential buyers the opportunity to own a  piece of a property that might otherwise be beyond their normal budget. The good thing about it is that if you want to purchase a 5000-square-foot, $2 million condo, you get that high end luxury, and for a much more affordable price.

Our fractional ownership program has been designed to provide many advantageous benefits and complimentary services, such as providing generous and flexible use of all the Diria Resorts facilities, when purchasing one of their condos, which are ventrally located within the Diria Beach Resort.      

CC Vacation Services' fractional ownership opportunities will help remove some of the worries that are typically associated with purchasing a second residence (vacation home). Our program helps reduce the overall financial burden to enter this red hot Latin American market, ultimately providing more potential people the opportunity to enter the real estate market of Tamarindo.

Through fractional or shared ownership of a residence, owners alternate time at the property, typically in two week intervals, every two months. This alternates every year, so that everyone can enjoy a year with the Holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years and then Easter. All owners also have the opportunity to exchange their weeks with one another, and at absolutely no additional cost for doing so. So why not look more into the opportunity?

The typical three bedroom, 3.5 bath, 2200 square-foot condominium would be  divided into quarter shares, and this allows buyers to buy all four fractions of the entire vacation property, and at an additional 3% discounted savings.    

Owners get three calendar months per year, of their choosing, and can stay in other condos in the case of a conflict with other owners of the same property. All of the owners would then be able to trade time at their condo, for any other property listed in the fractional collection.
 
The other key component is that it is designed to be vacation home, ownership without the hassles. When you buy it, it comes fully equipped. We designed this fractional program so it is exactly like owning your very own individual property. Any owner can buy, sell or will it to their heirs. The novelty is that you are an owner, but only for three months annually, so you don’t have as many expenses, like the condo fees and annual property taxes will be significantly less, because all costs are equally shared.

  CC Vacation Services believes that fractionals are more adjusted to the current economic market. Fractional ownership allows more people, the ability to access them financially, and they can even pay a much larger price. Leaving all of the costs and maintenance shared to be equally shared amongst owners.    
 

HOW OWNERSHIP IS EVIDENCED
Your ownership interest is in shares, where each grants interest in the real estate, and as defined in the individual corporation documents, it is perpetual in nature, for you and your family for life. Call and/or visit our office to receive our full brochure for all pricing and availability. We are also happy to assist you with a tour of any of these units on your visit. Pictured below are samples, of a few of the properties that we can help with, in the Tamarindo area. Typically fractional ownership is divided into 3 or 4 owners per unit.  But other options may be available, so please inquire with any questions that you may have, and we will gladly help.

CREATING A CORPORATION TO INVEST:
To purchase real estate for investment purposes, many individuals decide to form a corporation. This is usually the best decision, and we highly recommend it as the first choice to be used. The Code of Commerce in Costa Rica distinguishes four types of corporations, which are as follows:
1.  Sociedad en Nombre Colectivo
2.  Sociedad Comanditaria
3.  Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada
4.  Sociedad Anonima

“Sociedad Anonima” also known as S.A., is the most widely used corporate structure in Costa Rica. It is pretty flexible, the best for commercial agility, and the most versatile type of corporation in the legislation of Costa Rica. The S.A. has many features, of which the most important ones are:   1. The capital is divided in shares and the shareholders will only be responsible to pay their portion. 2. The company will be managed by a Board of  Members that need to have at least three members as President,  Secretary and Treasurer. These positions  are legally mandatory and must be occupied by three different individuals. It will also have a “Fiscal” (person in charge to watch the company). The judicial or extrajudicial representation of the company can be done by the President or any member of the Board appointed by the shareholders, it can have as many empowered individuals as they want, and they can be revoked whenever necessary.

Representatives can have different types of powers:
A.) General Power of Attorney without a sum limitation: The empowered person can perform any act in the name of the corporation, and it can manage the assets at any time, by buying or selling them. It is limited to management facts, as the signing of contracts, it cannot compromise the assets of the company, they can’t buy or sell shares. Any kind of power can be conditioned to be performed together by two or more people, individually, or by limiting to a certain amount of money. The name of the corporate can be in Spanish or any other language and will include the words “ Sociedad Anonima” at the end. Currently you can not name the company, but for the registration, its name will be whatever the corporate identification number that the Public Registry gives. For the constitution of a corporation, you will need at least two individuals, and each of them will need to have at least one share. The Notary Publics are the only ones that can constitute a “Sociedad Anonima”.  As already mentioned, the corporation is represented by shares, that are the titles through which it is credited and it is transferred to the partners. The shares are common and nominative and the corporate will have the ability to authorize and make one or more types of shares. It is important to clarify that in Costa Rica the shares are indivisible, when there are one or more owners of one share, a common representative has to be appointed.

The shares need to have the following information:
A.) Name, term and domicile of the company.
B.) Date of the constitution deed, name of the notary who authorized it and the registration info.
C.) Name of the shareholder when the shares are nominative.
D.) The amount of the authorized and paid capital and the total amount and the value of the shares.
E.) The series, number and kind of shares, with the total amount of shares that it covers.
F.) The signatures of the board of members established in the formation deed. The shares can be endorsed to a third party, without the approval of the other shareholders.

Corporations can be merged, dissolved or extinguished. The registration of a corporation in Costa Rica must be signed before the Notary Public until its registration (when it is activated) takes at least two weeks. Once it is registered, the Notary Public has to give the owners the constitution deed, the corporate identification card and the shares, and also provide the legal and accountant books.

The legal books are:
1.) Shareholder Registry: It contains the shareholder condition, the distribution of the social capital and the property of the shares.
2.) Shareholders General Meetings: Contains the shareholders agreements and decisions about the corporation as a whole
3.) Board of Members: exclusive for their agreements, they do not need to be shareholders.

It is very important to clarify that it is necessary to be in Costa Rica to form a corporation; someone outside of the country can accept a position in the Board by sending a letter to the Notary Public or  to the Board of Members, but in case this person would like to become a shareholder, he would only need to get the endorsed shares.

In Costa Rica it is also possible to own a corporation without showing in the public registry. The person or group of people can purchase a company or create one with different members and after its registration they would only need to endorse the shares. The shareholder book is totally private, so no one outside the company has to know whom the shares belong to.
