As part of our continuing series of video interviews with destination club executives, Halogen Guides recently sat down with Jarvis J. Slade, Jr., president of Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club. Ahead of the club’s launch this month, Slade explains Abercrombie & Kent’s decision to enter the destination club space, the brand’s strong tradition of luxury travel and what sets the club apart from the field.

The interview is part of a new round of videos on Halogen Guides covering the expanding number of vacation real estate options.

Our Destination Club Overview provides a comprehensive introduction to the ins and outs of the burgeoning vacation home alternative. The video explains the benefits of destination clubs, due diligence questions you should consider before joining, and tips on how to get the most out of your membership.

We also spent some time looking at a few new fractional properties in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. Our guide to San Francisco and Wine Country provides an overview of one of the country’s hottest real estate markets. We took our cameras through the Ritz-Carlton Club in San Francisco for a look at the luxury hotelier’s new five-star property. We also spoke to Keith Cox and Jane Howell of Resort Equities about their Odeon Penthouse fractional in the heart of San Francisco.
