What a 25% co-ownership stake costs, and what Klasma charges
By Dan Barker · June 29, 2026
If you followed the math in the last article, a 25% stake in a $2 million vacation home works out to $500,000. On a Klasma home, that is the price.
Many co-ownership listings price a stake above its share of the home and call the gap a premium. Klasma does not. This article walks through how a stake is priced, the two fees Klasma does charge, and why neither is a timeshare markup.
The Math
A stake is priced at the home's value, set by a licensed broker, divided by the number of owners. Nothing is added.
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Home value, set by a licensed broker | $2,000,000 |
| Owners | 4 |
| Price of one 25% stake | $500,000 |
| Klasma fee on the sale | $0 |
The seller pays the broker's commission and closing costs out of the proceeds, the same way any home seller does.
No premium. An existing home has a sales history and comparable sales nearby. Pricing a stake above them would make it harder for every owner to resell their own stake later.
No Klasma fee on the sale. A licensed broker sells the stakes and earns the commission. Klasma takes no share of the commission or of the price.
What Klasma Charges
Two fees. Both are fixed, and neither is tied to the price of the home.
1. A one-time onboarding fee of $1,000 for each new owner. It covers the work of bringing a new owner into the home: checking identity, background, and funds; admitting the owner to the home's LLC; and setting up the owner's calendar, statements, and account.
2. A flat annual platform fee for the home. It is divided among the owners by their percentage of the home, and it is never a percentage of what the home spends. It covers scheduling and the owner tools, bookkeeping and owner statements, the LLC's tax return and each owner's K-1, the annual LLC filing, and keeping the operating agreement current.
The home's own costs, such as property tax, utilities, insurance, cleaners, and repair crews, are paid from the LLC's account at their actual cost, with no markup. Reserves for future repairs and refreshes are part of the home's ongoing budget.
The Documents, Before You Buy
Buyers can read every governing document before they commit, and ask questions about them in plain English. Nobody signs something they haven't had a chance to understand.
This Is Not a Timeshare Premium
A week at a timeshare resort often costs tens of thousands of dollars upfront. The developer's true cost to deliver that week is a fraction of what the buyer pays. The rest is profit, and the buyer walks away with a use-right that depreciates toward zero. The FTC warns that getting out of a timeshare can be difficult, and that the exit industry itself is rife with scams.
A Klasma stake is priced at what the real estate is worth. The buyer owns a 25% membership interest in the LLC that holds the home, an interest that can appreciate and can be resold.
One buys something real. The other buys a reservation.
Tell Us What You Think of the Fees
We would rather hear an objection now than lose a buyer later. If a fee looks too high, or too low, for what it covers, ask the Klasma agent below. It records every question, and we read them.
Numbers in this article are illustrative. Closing costs and taxes vary by property and state. Buyers should review the pricing and fee disclosures for any specific home.
