Real estate agents are central partners in the Global Homebase ecosystem. Agents introduce property owners interested in co-ownership and represent buyers purchasing ownership shares in curated second homes.

Global Homebase structures the property, prepares the ownership model and manages the co-ownership framework. Agents remain the trusted advisor to their clients and participate in the transaction process, earning commissions on both property introductions and ownership share sales.

Our goal is not to replace agents, but to expand their product offering with a structured co-ownership model that allows more buyers to access premium second homes.

Agent partners can earn commissions in several ways depending on how they participate in a transaction. Global Homebase works with both individual real estate agents and established agencies, and in many cases several agents may collaborate on the same property or buyer relationship.

When an agent introduces a property owner with a home suitable for structured co-ownership, the agent or agency can typically earn a listing referral fee of around 1–2% once the property is accepted into the Global Homebase program and the preparation process begins.

Agents may also represent buyers purchasing ownership shares in curated co-ownership homes. Because each property is divided into multiple ownership shares, a single property can generate multiple transactions and therefore multiple commissions. In many cases agents earn around 3% commission on each ownership share sold.

As in traditional real estate transactions, commissions are paid when funds from buyers are received at closing. This applies both to listing-related referral fees and to commissions earned from the sale of ownership shares.

The model is designed to allow agents and agencies to generate more transaction opportunities from a single property, while continuing to work with their own clients and professional partners.

Yes. Agents and agencies can introduce property owners who may be interested in exploring co-ownership as an alternative to a traditional one-buyer sale.

Many owners are open to the idea once they understand that co-ownership can make their property accessible to several qualified buyers rather than relying on a single purchaser. In some cases this approach can create a broader buyer pool while maintaining strong pricing for the property.

When an agent introduces a suitable property, the Global Homebase team works with the owner and the agent to evaluate whether the home is appropriate for co-ownership. If the property fits the model, Global Homebase prepares the structure, ownership framework and presentation of the opportunity.

The introducing agent remains involved in the process and can participate in the sale of ownership shares together with other agents or agencies when relevant. Because several buyers may purchase shares in the same property, this can create multiple transaction opportunities linked to one property.

Our goal is to support agents and agencies with the structure and international buyer demand required to make co-ownership transactions possible.

In the Global Homebase model, a property is owned through a structured ownership framework where buyers purchase defined ownership shares rather than the entire home.

Each share represents a defined usage period in the property and participation in the ownership structure. This allows multiple buyers to enjoy a premium second home while sharing the purchase price and ongoing costs.

Global Homebase prepares the legal structure, ownership governance and operational framework. This makes the process transparent and manageable for all owners while ensuring the property is professionally managed and maintained.

Agents focus on advising their clients while Global Homebase handles the structure behind the transaction.

“Try Before You Buy” allows potential buyers to experience a destination and a curated property before committing to ownership.

The homes used for this concept are fully furnished and prepared for short stays so buyers can experience the property, the area and the lifestyle before making a purchase decision.

This is not free accommodation or traditional short-term rental. It is a structured way for interested buyers to explore the opportunity before purchasing ownership shares.

In many cases this experience helps convert interested visitors into long-term co-owners because they have already experienced the property and destination first-hand.

Agents typically introduce buyers or property owners to Global Homebase and remain involved during the early stages of the process. However, because co-ownership involves multiple owners and long-term management of the property, Global Homebase must establish a direct relationship with each buyer once they enter the ownership structure.

After a buyer decides to purchase an ownership share, Global Homebase works directly with the owners to manage the co-ownership framework. This includes coordination between owners, property management, governance agreements, scheduling of usage, accounting, tax administration and other operational matters.

Agents are therefore not expected to manage these ongoing responsibilities. Instead, they focus on introducing opportunities and representing buyers or sellers during the transaction phase.

Of course, agents are welcome to maintain their personal relationship with their clients. However, the operational relationship related to ownership, management and future coordination between co-owners is handled directly by the Global Homebase team.

Global Homebase currently focuses on premium second-home destinations where international buyer demand is strong.

Our initial destinations include Mallorca and Cannes, two markets with strong international interest in lifestyle properties and second homes.

Over time the Global Homebase model is designed to expand into additional international destinations where co-ownership offers a compelling solution for both buyers and property owners.

Yes. One of the key advantages of the Global Homebase model is that a single property can generate multiple transactions and therefore multiple commissions for agents.

Each co-ownership home is typically divided into 8 ownership units. Each unit represents 12.5% ownership of the property, which corresponds to approximately 6–7 weeks of annual usage depending on the booking rotation system.

Buyers often purchase one or two units, but they may purchase more — in some cases even up to full ownership if they choose to acquire all units.

Because each ownership unit is sold individually, a single property can result in multiple separate transactions. Commissions are calculated based on the sales price of the ownership share, excluding transfer tax, and are paid at closing when the buyer’s funds are received.

This means that instead of earning a commission from one buyer purchasing the entire property, agents can potentially participate in several share transactions within the same home.

In addition, if an owner later decides to sell their ownership share, the shares can be listed again and sold through the platform, creating future resale opportunities.

Agent partners may also present Global Homebase co-ownership homes on their own agent or agency websites, allowing them to market these opportunities directly to their existing client base while benefiting from the Global Homebase structure and transaction framework.

All legal matters related to the co-ownership structure of Global Homebase properties are handled through Global Homebase’s legal partners. This includes the preparation of the ownership framework, co-ownership agreements, governance structure and documentation required to establish and manage the shared ownership model.

Our legal partners ensure that the ownership structure is properly established and that the relationship between co-owners, the property and the operational framework is clearly defined.

At the same time, buyers and sellers are always encouraged to seek their own independent legal, tax and financial advice when making investment decisions. Personal matters such as taxation in the buyer’s country of residence, financing arrangements or individual legal considerations are handled directly by the buyer or seller with their own advisors.

This approach ensures that the co-ownership structure is professionally managed while allowing each participant to receive independent advice tailored to their personal financial and legal situation.
