Problem
Many high-net-worth families desire vacation home ownership but are deterred by the high costs, complexities of property management, and infrequent use. Traditional second home ownership often results in underutilized assets and significant financial burdens.
Solution
Pacaso offers a co-ownership model that enables multiple buyers to collectively own a luxury vacation home, dividing the costs and responsibilities of property management. Through Pacaso's platform, owners purchase a fraction of a property, typically 1/8 or 1/4, gaining exclusive access and usage rights proportionate to their ownership stake. Pacaso handles all aspects of property management, including maintenance, repairs, and scheduling, ensuring a hassle-free ownership experience. The company also provides interior design services, furnishing the homes with high-end decor and amenities. Owners can easily schedule their stays using Pacaso's SmartStay™ app and have the option to resell their ownership share through Pacaso's network.
