The No1 media title for the overseas property market, OPP, has commended Firstlight The K Club’s use of social media to educate buyers in shared ownership properties. The No1 UK title used Firstlight The K Club as a case study to show the industry how social media informs property buyers who still want answers about fractional real estate.
Overseas Property Professional Magazine highlighted the work of Ireland’s top private residence club at The K Club, Kildare, in educating consumers how to buy shared ownership homes and having their own titled interest in a private residence club.

Firstlight The K Club’s golf property for sale is at one of the most prestigious addresses in Ireland. The famous K Club was host to the Ryder Cup in 2006 and is still held as a benchmark for hosting one of the most famous sports tournaments in the world.
OPP wrote: “Firstlight The K Club was one of the early adopters to social media in the fractional ownership industry. The Irish developer uses this business tool – as it should be used – to talk directly with current buyers and potential customers via Twitter and Facebook.
“Used like this, social media can reach potential buyers without giving them a hard sell about your product.”
Project director Catherine Monaghan added: “Absolutely – Firstlight The K Club is not about the hard sell and we saw a great opportunity in social media to prove this. We’re happy to answer buyers’ questions and inform them about the lifestyle that comes with a titled interest in one of the most beautiful golf and spa resorts in Ireland.”
Facebook now has 500million active users worldwide, with a growing popularity of people aged 30-plus using social media sites.
