WHY WOULD AN OWNER OR REALTOR SELLING AN ENTIRE PROPERTY DEVELOP THE FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE AND AGREEMENT BEFORE MARKETING? WHY NOT LET THE BUYERS DEVELOP THEIR OWN FRACTIONAL AGREEMENT?
Although it is theoretically possible to gather an entire buyer group, have them prepare a single offer as a group, then allow them the time and flexibility to create their own structure and agreement prior to close (while the property is held off the market), this approach fails much more often than it succeeds and consumes a huge amount of effort and time even when successful. Most sellers and Realtors find it much easier and more productive to accept individual offers from prospective buyers of each fractional share even when they intend to simultaneously close the sales to all the buyers at once. (Note that closing the sales one at a time is also possible.) Accepting individual offers on the fractional shares is virtually impossible without having a structure and documentation in place. The structure created by the agreement is necessary to avoid the uncertainty and risk that would otherwise be associated with a series of purchase contracts for percentages of the property.
