Selling FAQs

Selling part of your home

• Why would I sell part of my home to Pacaso?

  Selling ownership interest in your property allows you to keep using the property, while distributing costs and realising liquidity. If you love your second home but feel you aren’t getting the most out of it, co-ownership might be an excellent option for you.

• How does the home sale process with Pacaso work?

  Pacaso will purchase your property and retitle it into a property-specific limited company with eight equal ownership interests. You can retain the amount of ownership that meets your needs, up to 50%, and Pacaso will find buyers for the rest.

• What work is needed to prep for a sale?

  The process is simple and easy for you as a seller. Along with a local estate agent, we create a full suite of custom print and digital marketing materials to show your property at its best. After completion, we add designer touches and do any necessary repairs.

• How do you find buyers to purchase shares in my home?

  Our team has over 100 collective years working in the real estate industry. We are skilled at building buyer demand through online and offline marketing strategies. We also work with local estate agents who are local experts in the community, and market the listing to their network.

• How are prospective owners evaluated?

  We vet all owners, who agree to a common-sense owner code of conduct. The home will be reserved for the exclusive use of owners and their guests.

• What happens to my furniture when I sell part of my home?

  Our interior design team reviews each home. If the existing furniture is a fit for Pacaso, we purchase it directly from the seller. If not, the home is given a full interior design makeover following closing.

• Does Pacaso need to sell all the shares of the home before I can start using it?

  Once half of the available ownership interest is sold, Pacaso moves to complete on the property. Following completion, owners can begin using the property while the company sells the remaining ownership.

• What happens if I want to sell in a few years?

  You may sell at any point after the first 12 months of ownership at a price of your choosing. We'll market the property just like a normal estate agent listing. Other owners have the right of first refusal.
