Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Pacaso offers co-ownership of luxury vacation homes, selling buyers a share of a specific property rather than an entire house. Its website presents a curated collection of homes in leisure and resort destinations, each marketed under a property name tied to a location, including London, Paris, Florence and Tuscany, Los Cabos, Tulum, Vail, Park City, Aspen and Snowmass, Napa Valley, San Diego, La Jolla, Kiawah Island, West Palm Beach, Scottsdale and the Hawaiian Islands.

The purchase process described by the company has four steps: browsing the portfolio by destination, selecting a home and an ownership option, onboarding onto a managed ownership structure, and using the home. Pacaso states that every home in its collection is professionally managed and maintained, and that owners may stay in their own home or access other homes across the Pacaso collection. The site also offers multiple ownership products, published FAQs and owner testimonials, and a digital concierge chat channel for prospective buyers.

Business model

Pacaso markets fractional shares of individual luxury homes to buyers and provides ongoing professional management and maintenance of the properties, including access arrangements across its wider collection of homes.
