Our story · Since 2022
A different way to own.
A very personal reason.
Founded in 2022 by David Olsson and his son, Dylan, COP brings a personal approach to finding and owning your second home.
From the Alps to a new idea
A new way to own.
The same desire for home.
“The clients I had worked with for years still wanted to buy — they just couldn't afford to anymore. They were simply priced out.”David Olsson · Founder
After more than twenty years helping buyers find homes in the French Alps, David kept hearing the same story. Clients who had spent years returning to the mountains still wanted a place of their own, but rising prices had put buying outright beyond their reach. Their connection to those places had not changed; what they could afford had. Co-ownership offered a way to own a share of a home they loved, with the costs shared and a professional team looking after it.
In 2022, David founded COP with his son, Dylan, to help buyers explore that possibility. COP’s approach starts with understanding where people want to be, how they want to spend their time and what works for their budget. The aim is to help people find a second home that fits the life they actually live, with clear information and someone to talk to along the way.
