How Does The Veras Group Help Me Buy A Destination Club?

Joining a Destination Club? The Veras Group serves as a destination club consulting and brokerage firm, offering you destination club advice on every aspect of your decision, from requesting brochures of clubs you might be interested in to final negotiations with the clubs to secure you the best available pricing and terms.

Working with The Veras Group consists of eight easy steps

Step 1: Request and Review The Veras Group Portfolio

Visit The Veras Group website and request a brochure. You will learn more about our complimentary services and how we answer your candid questions about each and every destination club and secure you the best available price on your destination club membership.

Step 2: Ask Questions About The Veras Group

Learn more about our team of destination club experts, comprised of service and sales professionals from the destination club industry who know every detail of purchasing a destination club membership.

Step 3: Return Your No-Obligation Client Agreement

Our No-Obligation Client Agreement is exactly what it says. You are in no way agreeing to purchase anything. Simply put, signing this agreement means you will be able to access The Veras Group's team of industry experts willing to spend as much or as little time with you as you want. We never will force anything on you, just answer each of your difficult destination club questions with timely and thorough answers.

Step 4: Complete Your Client Questionnaire

The Veras Group is dedicated to guiding you to the destination club that suits your unique travel needs best. After completing your client agreement, we ask that you complete a questionnaire that lets us learn more about you. Allow us to learn more about destinations you are looking for, your past travel experiences, and clubs you have already looked into. Based on these results, we begin to form a list of destination clubs that may potentially fit your needs.

Step 5: Questions, Discussion, Review

Based on the results of your questionnaire and discussions with you, we will begin to offer suggestions on which destination clubs fit your profile. At any time, you can ask questions about each and every club in the industry, learning more about pricing, redemption policies and average home values. The Veras Group is your unbiased resource for destination club news, and we are eager to answer all of your questions, big or small.

Step 6: Due Diligence

Once we have worked together to decide on the two or three (or five or six if you would like), we offer you due diligence suggestions. Would you like to tour a club's members' only website? Like to review financials with the club's Chief Financial Officer? We will arrange whatever you need to feel more comfortable with your decision, always on the line if you would like us to accompany you on the call.

Step 7: Terms & Conditions Review

Once you have decided on the top one to two clubs you are seriously interested in joining, we so through the legal documents you sign as a member with you, pointing out differences between each and how they affect your travel. During this time, we are also speaking with the clubs you are interested in, negotiating to secure you the best publically available pricing and terms so when you are ready to join, the best deal will be waiting for you.

Step 8: Membership Enrollment

Following your review and our negotiations with the destination club you elect to join, we send you off the documents and all you have to do is sign and send off your membership deposit to whatever club you feel is best. Money never passes through The Veras Group's hands. From there we wish you safe and fun filled travels for the life of your destination club membership. All we ask is that you drop us a line from time to time telling us more about your fabulous vacations.

The Veras Group is the only unbiased destination club news, consulting and brokerage firm. As our client, we accompany your purchase from start to finish: customized reviews of your travel needs, unrestricted access to our expert advisors, insiders' advice from industry veterans, insightful due diligence support, thorough club comparisons and points of difference, and the best available terms & pricing on your membership, all at no cost to you.

Destination Club News - Yellowstone Club World Closes

Yellowstone Club World Ceases Operations
Date: September 4, 2008

Luxury destination club Yellowstone Club World has ceased operations. Founders Tim and Edra Blixseth’s public divorce and subsequent legal dispute over the ownership of Yellowstone Club and spinoff destination club Yellowstone Club World led to the club listing its French chateau for sale earlier this month. The 30,000 square foot Château de Farcheville took over 14 years of restoration and features an underground wine cellar, fitness center, private theatre, heli-pad and 12 guestrooms. The luxurious property was listed by Mint Real Estate for $60 million. Since then, Edra has gained control over both the Yellowstone Club and Yellowstone Club World and has taken the Château de Farcheville off the market for the time being. Yellowstone Club World’s 30,000 square foot mansion in the Turks & Caicos remains on the market for $55 million.

Edra will continue to operate the 13,400 acre Yellowstone Club, which counts Bill Gates amongst its elite and private membership base. “I have always felt that the Yellowstone Club is ‘my baby,’” wrote Edra in a message to members after taking control of the club earlier this year. “I am excited about the future of the Club, and working toward restoring it is my number one business priority.” Yellowstone Club World consisted primarily of founding members who upgraded from the Yellowstone Club. Last year, Yellowstone Club World halted new member acquisitions as the fate of the club had yet to be decided.

A Yellowstone Club World representative confirmed the dissolution of the club. The Veras Group is following up with Yellowstone Club World to learn more about the status of the club's luxury real estate and members. Check back to learn more.
