The Pacaso Crew is committed to making it easy and seamless to share the message of co-ownership with your clients. Our marketing team has created a suite of assets that can be co-branded with your logo and are easily customizable to accommodate your CRM of choice.
Purchasing a second home with co-ownership is sometimes a great deal with your dream!
Explore our collection of stunning single-family homes in top second home destinations. We'll help you find the perfect fit, and you decide how many shares you'd like to own.
We create a property LLC for each home, find and vet co-owners, and handle all the sales details. At closing, the co-owners enjoy 100% ownership of the home – Pacaso does not retain any shares.
We take care of furnishings, repairs, utilities and property management – you just show up and relax. Scheduling is easy and equitable with our app and SmartStay™ technology.

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.

Take the hassle out of second home ownership. Sell Pacaso a portion of your home, and we will retitle it into a co-ownership LLC and handle all the home management responsibilities.
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
