Xalteva is centrally located in the old Spanish colonial town of Granada Colonial District, which is known for its unique architecture, cultural flavor, and prime location for visitors to this Central American country.

“One of the things that’s most striking about the city of Granada is its accessibility,” explained Xalteva Program Director Donna Shields. “Not only is it very close to the airport, but also to a wide array of natural beauty as well as more urban offerings like shopping, nightclubs, and restaurants.”

Owner/Developer Jay Snyder echoed that sentiment. “We’ve built this incredible oasis in the center of the city, with everything visitors could possibly want within easy reach of these luxurious condos.”

Xalteva features two bedroom, two bath condominiums with views of the Mombacho volcano and the city. The condos offer an elegant pool, palapa gathering place, and an easy walk to the historic Central Park with shopping, restaurants, and nightlife.

Working together with Mombotour a Café Las Flores Company, Xalteva offers a variety of wellness adventure and spa tours. FractionalExchange.com® members receive discounts on tours ranging from volcano hikes to yoga excursions at a coffee plantation to dinner outings in the homes of local residents.

Partner Shaul Streifler said Xalteva spent a long time researching options for exchange programs. “The thing that interested me in FractionalExchange.com® is the personal touch,” he explained. “You’re dealing one on one with the owners of the other properties, rather than a big, impersonal corporation. We think of these condos as people’s homes, and we appreciate that this is how FractionalExchange.com® approaches it as well.”

FractionalExchange.com Sales Director, Paul Nabor, said the company is thrilled to work with Xalteva. “Nicaragua is a real up-and-coming destination in Central America, and it’s a great opportunity for people to experience everything this amazing country has to offer,” he said. “You can admire the colonial architecture from the back of a horse-drawn carriage, then go out on a zipline adventure just ten minutes away or visit a breathtaking crater lake only twenty minutes away. The possibilities are endless.”

CEO Evan Julber agrees. “It’s also a terrific spot for people to consider purchasing exchange property, since the cost is extremely reasonable,” he added. “With the FractionalExchange program, owners have the opportunity to exchange for other properties around the world.”

The resort has operated for 4 years with 13 luxury villas including one, two, and three-bedroom units with breathtaking ocean views. The resort is located in close proximity to the airport in an area well-known for its natural beauty, sightseeing, shopping, and incredible beaches. Visitors can participate in a range of sea activities including snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and exploring sea caves in a kayak.

“Koh Samui is the island of thousands of coconut trees, and the third largest island in Thailand,” explained Project Director Manish Antal. “There were no roads or cars on Samui until the early ‘40s, but now there’s a 55-kilometer road on the island which makes it convenient to travel from beach to beach.”

The resort appeals to visitors seeking a private, relaxing beach holiday. “You can sit on a sun lounge reading your favorite book as you stare at tranquil blue waters or gaze at the other islands in the distance,” Antal added. “Then you can take a short stroll along the beach to grab a beer from a local fisherman’s shack or make plans for a romantic dinner of world-renowned Thai cuisine.”

Antal said resort owners considered a variety of exchange options before deciding to work with FractionalExchange.com®. “We felt most comfortable with the idea where an owner does not have to go through banking in advance, planning ahead, and then dealing with factors like exchange power or value of your property,” Antal explained. “We find the formula at FractionalExchange far more realistic where an owner can exchange directly with another owner without all the criteria and complications.”

FractionalExchange.com® Sales Director, Paul Nabor agreed that’s what appeals to many of their clients. “It’s a great way to open up new possibilities with your vacation property and see different parts of the world by exchanging with other users,” he added.

Given the beauty and location of Oceans 13: The Residences, FractionalExchange.com® CEO Evan Julber feels confident the property will be very popular among its customers. “It’s the ultimate beach getaway with amazing Thai culture and cuisine, and villas that feel more like private residences than a hotel,” he said. “If you’re looking for relaxation and scenery, this is the place to find it.”

Located in the Pacific northwest area of Costa Rica, Nosara is widely known for its surfing and its yoga retreats. It is well-protected in the environmental sense, and currently remains one of the most pristine and authentic parts of Costa Rica. According to developer Jeff Grosshandler, Nosara is an area that remains closest to “small-town Costa Rica.”

“We’re excited about our affiliation with FractionalExchange.com,” says Jeff. “From day one, our goal has been to offer our fractional members the best experience. FractionalExchange.com fits nicely with our plan, as they offer boutique, high quality properties for exchange, and strive to keep things simple. It’s very apparent their standards are in line with ours. We are anxious for other FractionalExchange.com members to see our properties, and know they will want to arrange an exchange as soon as possible.”

Namaste Oasis Private Residence Club is currently constructing a series of two-bedroom, two-bath residences which feature a modern tropical, open living concept. The first phase of construction will have four residences, featuring a “floating” bridge entrance and high quality materials throughout. Those who wish to follow construction progress may access Namaste Oasis’ website to view ongoing video posts. A second phase of construction will feature six additional units, each in three-bedroom and two-bath layout.

FractionalExchange.com Director of Sales, Paul Nabor says of this Costa Rican property, “Talk about escape! What a great place to get away from it all. Having to decide between yoga and surfing for your day’s activities is a tough job. You’ll probably have to do both before you head home to enjoy the beautiful Namaste Oasis Residence Club.”

“For anyone with a desire to spend time in Central America, this is one of the most ideal locations,” states Evan Julber, FractionalExchange.com CEO. “We’re confident our members will appreciate another opportunity to see Costa Rica at its finest.”

Designed from the start with simplicity and member satisfaction in mind, FractionalExchange.com features no points, deposits or per-exchange fees. Members at FractionalExchange.com communicate directly with each other regarding properties and desired dates, sending exchange proposals using the system’s social networking software.

Fractional property developers seem to be in favor of this model, as well. The collection being built by FractionalExchange.com is replete with boutique resort properties in 21 countries throughout the world, with owners in over 40 fractional developments.

“Seeing how resorts and members have been enthusiastic to join FractionalExchange.com has been very rewarding. It’s nice to know I’m not the only person who felt the other programs were a bit more complex than necessary,” says Evan. “Hearing a resort say they’ve been looking for someone like us for years tells me we have filled a valid need.”

One of the company’s most innovative moves in its first two years is the way they provide sales tools to resort sales teams. Rather than provide a quickly outdated “coffee table” book to describe the program and showcase properties, FractionalExchange.com has created a sales office application for the iPad. Additionally, with regard to marketing efforts, they are willing to assist resorts with lead generation by marketing weeks of use to high-end charity gala events in appropriate demographic areas for the property. Besides generating leads for the sales team, the program markets the property while helping charities raise money for their causes.

Shortly after launching FractionalExchange.com, Evan brought in Paul Nabor as Director of Sales, knowing Paul’s background would be the perfect fit. Paul’s tenure in exchange at The World’s Finest Resorts, along with time at different private residence clubs and luxury resorts throughout the United States makes him a natural. He knows how the other fee structures and programs work, and can quickly identify why—in most cases —FractionalExchange.com is a much easier and more enjoyable experience.

Says Paul, “I relish bringing resorts and properties on board, and having them see how straightforward the process can be. They’re always so pleasantly surprised.”

As described on their website, DwellParis offers a completely renovated and fully outfitted one-bedroom apartment at Rue Cujas in central Paris, located on the Rive-Gauche in the 5th arrondissement’s Latin Quarter. On the fourth floor of a venerable 19th-century stone building on a corner of the Residence Jardin Luxembourg, this apartment will be all that a part-time resident of Paris could need or want, including a modern elevator and newly redecorated common areas, climate control, state-of-the-art communications, and electronic building security system with intercoms. The finely detailed new kitchen and bathroom, large closets, quiet and cloistered bedroom with full southern exposure, and the tasteful blend of modern and traditional furnishings are broadly appealing.

Andrew Sirkin, a partner in DwellParis states, “We chose FractionalExchange.com as our exchange partner because we felt they offer a high degree of flexibility and excellent value for our owners. We discovered through owner dialogues that a peer-to-peer model offering a direct contact between the two sides to the exchange, and the freedom to negotiate a made-to-measure exchange arrangement, was preferred to an anonymous system administered under a rigid set of rules by a third-party facilitator. We are hoping that our relationship with FractionalExchange.com will enhance the experience of our current owners, and spur sales and resale activity by exposing potential buyers to our Paris property, adding value to our offering.”

Location is one of the keys that make this such an attractive property. It is located in the heart of the City, allowing visitors to walk to so many of the area’s draws. Whether it is the Luxembourg Gardens, the Pantheon, or numerous shops, restaurants, galleries or museums, there is no lack of something to draw one out into the city.

Paul Nabor, FractionalExchange.com Director of Sales, says “We have been looking for suitable, high-quality city properties to add to our network, and this Paris property is near perfect. It provides members with a central, elegant home base from which to explore The City of Light. Members interested in this property should view the many photos on the DwellParis website to gain full perspective.”

“True comfort and a place to call home in Paris,” states Evan Julber, FractionalExchange.com CEO. “No detail has been spared to make this apartment a special spot in the center of the City. We are delighted to have DwellParis in our network and encourage our members to take a look.”

Giants Ridge is an award-winning resort located in Minnesota’s Iron Range, which provides access to world-class golf and ski properties. It is located three hours north of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and one hour north of Duluth. As a golf resort, Giants Ridge offers two courses, The Quarry and The Legend. Repeatedly ranked among the best courses in Minnesota, these public courses provide challenge and recreation in a beautiful northwoods setting.

The ski area at Giants Ridge has been recognized for years as one of the best in the Midwest, and has been used as a training ground for the U.S. Olympic Nordic Ski Team. The area features Alpine and Nordic runs, along with snowboarding terrain. Additional snow-related options are tubing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.

Voyageurs Retreat at Giants Ridge is a 2,000-acre area, offering full-time and vacation residences to a mix of families and retirement-age residents. It is located near Wynne and Sabin Lakes, providing residents with lake access, in addition to the golf and ski resort at Giants Ridge. As a result, there are a myriad of outdoor activities to suit any preference–kayaking, canoeing, fishing, hiking and biking, to mention just a few. Also close by are Fortune Bay Casino and Lake Vermillion, offering gaming, fine dining, additional golf opportunities and championship fishing for Northern Pike and Walleye.

The Voyageurs Retreat property consists of 270 home sites, sixty of which have been identified as potential fractional residences. Two models are ready for viewing:

- Located on Sabin Lake, the Mesabi is a 4-bedroom, 5-bath home consisting of 5,200 square feet. Amenities are all upscale, and include granite counters and tile floors.
- Located off Wynne Lake is the Ridgeview. This home also has 4 bedrooms and 5 baths, and measures 4,600 square feet. It features 15’ ceilings with more of a “country home” feel, again with all upscale amenities.

Regarding exchange programs, Tom Rosensteel, Project Manager for the development states “At Voyageurs Retreat, we were looking for a world-class experience for our owners in the area of fractional exchange. What attracted us to FractionalExchange.com was the direct owner-to-owner capability, offering ease and flexibility to the process regarding timing of exchange. It’s nice not to have to match up calendars and deal with a program administrator in order to arrange an exchange. We wanted a differentiator in the fractional business, and believe we’ve found it with FractionalExchange.com. ”

“Having this Minnesota property join our network is a stellar addition to our collection. This is a true four-season gem for outdoor lovers of all kinds, and we’re so glad the Mesabi and Ridgeview homes have joined the exchange program,” states Paul Nabor, Director of Sales for FractionalExchange.com.

Evan Julber, FractionalExchange.com CEO says “This promises to be a great addition for our outdoor-loving members. The northwoods area of Minnesota is a terrific playground, and these properties are the perfect home base from which to enjoy it.”

With 33 all-public white sand beaches, clear waters in many shades of blue, and fabulous restaurants, Anguilla is truly a pleasure to visit. The island offers great swimming, snorkeling, diving, fishing and golf.

Ocean Terrace Condominiums are the perfect accommodation in such an ideal place. They consist of eleven one-and two-bedroom condos, set on a hill overlooking the Caribbean and the southeastern shore of Anguilla.
