Problem
Owning a luxury vacation home outright can be prohibitively expensive due to high purchase prices, ongoing maintenance costs, and limited usage periods. Traditional timeshares offer limited flexibility and don't provide actual ownership, while destination clubs can be costly and lack transparency.

This model significantly reduces the financial burden of owning a high-end property while providing access to a diverse portfolio of homes in desirable locations. GoForth handles property acquisition, setup, legal and accounting matters, and ongoing property management, ensuring a hassle-free ownership experience. Co-owners gain access to their chosen home and others within the GoForth collection, enjoying up to 12 weeks of vacation time per year. A proprietary matching process aligns co-owners with similar travel preferences to optimize availability.
