DIY Home Co-ownership with Pacaso

Co-buying is increasingly becoming the norm for purchasing a home. At Pacaso, we’ve seen co-ownership grow rapidly in the past year across different U.S. markets, offering a more affordable real estate option and empowering buyers to right-size their ownership.In addition to our fully managed, co-owned vacation homes, Pacaso provides DIY legal services for buyers looking to facilitate a co-ownership structure on their own — whether for a primary residence or a secondary property.

New markets, new offerings

DIY co-ownership isn’t a new practice — family members and friends have long come together to purchase, own and enjoy real estate. However, co-owning a home on your own can be challenging, complex and prone to dispute. While Pacaso simplifies the whole process with our fully managed model and can take care of everything for buyers, we understand the importance of choice and flexibility.That’s why we now offer à la carte services to empower buyers who want to take on co-ownership independently. When you browse listings on Pacaso, you may also notice whole home listings that qualify for our DIY legal resources. By curating whole homes and adding additional service offerings, we aim to accommodate a range of real estate needs and preferences, whether that’s co-owning a vacation home with a group of close friends, co-owning a whole home curated on our site, or co-buying a primary property with a family member.
