When you co-own a vacation home, some decisions are simple. Do we need more beach towels? Should we repaint the deck?
Others… not so much.
What if someone wants to rent out their time? What if two owners disagree on replacing the HVAC system—or worse, who’s paying for it?
At some point, you’re going to hear: “Let’s just vote on it.”
And that’s where things can get messy—fast.
Voting is how groups make decisions. But in co-ownerships with three or more owner groups, it’s not one-person-one-vote. It’s ownership-based. That means someone with 50% ownership has more say than someone with 10%. That’s fair—but it’s also where confusion sets in.
What counts as a “majority”? Do any votes need to be unanimous? What if people forget to respond? And where’s the proof of how everyone voted?
Without a system, it’s easy for votes to get lost in email chains or verbal chats. Then you’re left with misunderstandings, frustration, or worse—legal gray areas.
Joynt makes co-ownership smoother by giving your group a built-in way to make and track decisions. No more guesswork, no more drama.
Here’s how it works:
Joynt doesn’t wait for someone to suggest a vote. When the group’s Management Coordinator takes an action—like creating an assessment for a large expense, proposing a new budget, or updating house rules—Joynt automatically starts the vote for the group.
No chasing people down, no forgetting to initiate. It just happens.
Votes are automatically weighted based on each owner’s share. So a 30% owner carries more weight than a 10% owner—without needing a spreadsheet or statistics degree.
Everyone sees the vote status and outcome. Results are saved permanently and securely in something called a blockchain, so there’s a record of what was decided, when, and by whom.
Your group’s operating agreement defines what’s required to pass a vote: majority or unanimous in different situations. It also defines how abstaining from a vote is handled. Joynt enforces voting rules consistently, every time.
Every vote, every decision—logged, timestamped, and tied to your group’s history. It’s like having a neutral third party that never forgets.
Co-owning a home means making decisions together. Joynt makes that process structured and fair—so no one feels left out, overruled, or unsure of what was decided.
Because “let’s just vote on it” should lead to clarity, not conflict.
