Pacaso makes the dream of second home ownership an attainable reality, enriching the lives of families across the country.

Our mission: Enrich lives through second home ownership

Co-founders Austin Allison and Spencer Rascoff created Pacaso to democratize and “right-size” second home ownership, making the dream of ownership a reality for more people.

Discovery program helps buyers find their dream second home

If you find a home you love but it’s not listed on our site, or it’s in a destination we haven’t yet expanded to, let us know! If the home is a good fit for Pacaso, we’ll help you co-own it.


Pacaso is not a timeshare

Unlike a timeshare, a Pacaso is true real estate ownership. Together, co-owners own 100% of the property and benefit from any equity gains.

A more sustainable approach to second home ownership

Most second homes sit vacant for much of the year, wasting resources. Pacaso consolidates 8 owners into 1 second home, improving utilization and reducing the number of homes that need to be built.

Pacaso: What it is and how it works

Pacaso is not a timeshare, it’s true ownership of a beautifully appointed second home.

LLC co-ownership, explained​​​​​​​

Each Pacaso is set up as an LLC, and the co-owner group has full ownership interest in the home. Pacaso works as the LLC manager on behalf of the owners to make second home ownership simpler and more enjoyable.

How Pacaso works for real estate agents

We increase buyers’ purchasing power, which means more sales opportunities for agents. The transaction is fast and streamlined, and agents earn full commission on each sale.

How Pacaso supports local housing markets

As demand for second homes has surged, vacation home communities have faced increasing home prices and limited inventory. Pacaso consolidates 8 owners into 1 second home, relieving the pressure on local housing markets.

Pacaso is invested in communities and neighborhoods

Pacaso owners are families, good neighbors, and local business supporters.

Pacaso supports local communities

We partner with local businesses and city officials to form positive community connections, and Pacaso owners support local economies by patronizing shops and restaurants year-round.

Expanding opportunities for second home ownership

Many people aspire to own a second home, but most can’t afford to go it alone. Co-owning a Pacaso opens the doors to second home ownership.

HELPING COMMUNITIES THRIVE

PACASO OWNERS ARE FAMILIES, NEIGHBORS, AND LOCAL BUSINESS SUPPORTERS
Owners, not renters.

Owners, not renters.

Forget short-term renters. Pacaso serves homeowners and their families. They are invested in their home and bring an owner’s mindset to their use and care of the property. All owners agree to Pacaso’s policies, which prohibit rentals and large events or parties.
Supporting the local economy

Supporting the local economy

Most second homes sit vacant 10-11 months each year. Pacaso homes are fully utilized, meaning owners and their families are patronizing local shops and restaurants in all seasons. In addition, Pacaso employs around 10 local businesses, such as real estate agents, landscapers and property managers, to care for and maintain each property.
Reducing competition for homes

Reducing competition for homes

As demand for second homes continues to rise, vacation communities across the U.S. are struggling with housing shortages and higher home prices. Pacaso helps to relieve this pressure by consolidating eight buyers into one luxury home, removing them from competition for moderately priced homes needed by the local workforce.
