 “Guaranteed” Comments by Vacation Club CEO

Fractional Ownership is Only Valid Vacation Club Model with Buyer Protection

Says Carl Berry Star Resort Group CEO

 

SCOTTSDALE, AZ --  Star Resort Group (Scottsdale, AZ), a leading developer, marketer and seller of resort real estate in North America, has taken a stand to clarify recent statements made by a Telluride Vacation Club CEO. 

 

Carl Berry, CEO of Star Resort Group and pioneer in the shared ownership resort industry, notes that the Colorado-based Epiphany Club’s Tom Fulton calls fractional ownership a “flawed program” and “guarantees that (his) owners will be able to enjoy their property virtually anytime they want.”

 

Berry says “the ‘guaranteed’ idea leads to difficulties and dissatisfaction.  It is my understanding that Tom Fulton was part of the team that designed the original model that pushed Tanner & Haley into bankruptcy.   It concerns me that he is again going forward with a similar product.” 

 

Berry questions Fulton’s recent claims that his Club is different from destination clubs providing consumers a form of “whole ownership, without the responsibility and price.”
