Our Mission

Why we do what we do

Many holiday homes lie vacant for most of the year, while millions of people dream of owning and enjoying a second home. Those lucky enough to own a holiday home often spend the first part of their well-earned break dealing with repairs and upkeep. To solve this, we created Pacaso, an innovative service that addresses these issues head on. We make co-owning a second home easy, empowering people to experience holiday home ownership without the hassle.

Our Crew

Pacaso started in California, but we have expanded rapidly across the globe, recruiting enthusiastic, driven and customer-obsessed Crew members wherever we go. No matter where we work, we are dedicated to making Pacaso a household name. To succeed, we need diverse, talented humans from anywhere and everywhere. Join us. It'll be fun.
