How about the COUNTIF? =COUNTIF(Range,Criteria)
COUNTIF needs a range (where the names are) and a CRITERIA the name you are looking for. This will give you how many names of each you have. Then you can use the SUMIF... check it out.
Hope this helps!

Thanks WassimN -
I considered that, but it still requires creating a CRITERIA dataset - in this case a foundational list of individual owner names. The datasets are too large to manually pull out that initial CRITERIA list.
I guess my struggle is having a dataset that I can visually see have multiple names and I want to see how many of each (the associations with specific properties is not a part of the challenge)
