Technology and changing consumer preferences are transforming property ownership. As luxury holiday homes remain out of reach for most buyers, digital platforms are creating new possibilities through fractional ownership. Nikolaus Thomale, MYNE Home’s spokesperson, says their tech-driven co-ownership model makes premium holiday homes accessible to more people.
In this interview, he shares how the MYNE platform transforms luxury property ownership and what it means for the future of holiday home investments.
Tell us about MYNE Homes.
Did you know that while over 50% of people dream of owning a holiday home, only 2% turn that dream into reality?
MYNE Homes changes this with our tech-driven, innovative co-ownership model for premium holiday properties across Europe.
Through the MYNE platform, you can own a share of luxury properties starting at just €99,000. We provide full property management and hassle-free maintenance as standard. Plus, you’ll enjoy the benefits of value appreciation and rental income from your real estate asset.
Our digital co-ownership approach offers numerous advantages: lower maintenance costs, greater flexibility, and a more efficient way to experience the benefits of owning premium holiday properties.
What do you think makes this company different?
MYNE Homes boasts a unique portfolio of properties across seven European countries. From sun-soaked beachfront villas in Spain to cozy ski chalets in the Alps, we offer exciting options to suit different tastes and preferences.
We carefully select our properties to ensure that each MYNE Homes offering is in a prime location with year-round appeal.
This diverse portfolio caters to various holiday preferences and allows co-owners to potentially invest in multiple properties across different destinations, creating a network of home-away-from-home options throughout Europe.
What is your advice to aspiring entrepreneurs?
Most people already have a product or invention idea in their heads, but 90% never act on it. They hesitate, overthink, or talk themselves out of it. If you’ve got an idea, don’t let it stay a “what if.” Dig in, research, and see where it could go. You might be surprised by its potential. And if everything points to success, give it everything you’ve got to make it real.
What most excites you about MYNE Homes?
We’re genuinely excited by the amazing feedback we received from our co-owners. Seeing how much our co-owners value their experience is both humbling and inspiring
Owners love enjoying their beautiful properties, whilst also appreciating the overall hassle-free service across all stages of purchasing and staying in their properties.
We were also very excited about the TV coverage we received this year across some of Europe’s largest TV networks, where happy co-owners shared their experiences across different holiday homes in different destinations.
Moments like these show us we’re on the right track at MYNE Homes.
How has the company evolved over the last couple of years?
Over recent years, MYNE Homes has made great strides, expanding our portfolio of properties across Europe and fostering a fast-growing community of homeowners. We’ve constantly pushed our model to offer an easier, smarter, and more sustainable approach to holiday home ownership.
Overall, our co-ownership model aims to broaden access to premium holiday home ownership. In light of higher interest rates, there is a growing interest in a more economical way of owning holiday properties for owner-occupation and rental.
Our efforts have also extended to new markets, including the UK, Benelux, and the Nordics, setting the stage for even greater growth and accessibility in the years ahead.
What can we hope to see from MYNE Homes in the future?
We’re really excited about how our holiday time swap service is shaping up. With properties in seven countries, it lets MYNE homeowners swap their homes with one another, opening up the chance to enjoy amazing stays in beautiful spots across Europe.
It’s a great way to get even more out of your MYNE ownership while exploring new places.
MYNE Homes exemplifies a new generation of property technology companies reshaping ownership models. As the company expands, it is proving that technology can transform luxury from exclusive to accessible.
