Hard Hat Real Estate Partners with Pacaso: Making Dream Home Ownership Accessible

Hard Hat Real Estate has immense pride in its partnership with Pacaso, knowing they will consistently think of everything to allow people to truly fulfill their dream of owning a vacation home. This collaboration, which began in 2023, offers our clients an exciting opportunity to own luxury vacation homes for a fraction of the traditional cost, making the dream of second-home ownership more attainable than ever before.

What is Pacaso?

Founded in 2020 by former Zillow executives Spencer Rascoff and Austin Allison, Pacaso has swiftly become a leader in the real estate co-ownership market. The company enables buyers to purchase shares in luxury homes located in desirable vacation destinations such as Malibu, Lake Tahoe, and Park City. Pacaso's innovative model allows for fractional ownership, typically between one-eighth to one-half of a property, providing an affordable entry point into the luxury real estate market.

How Pacaso Works

Pacaso streamlines the co-ownership process by setting up each property as an LLC, managing all aspects of homeownership, from furnishing and maintenance to scheduling stays through their proprietary app. This ensures that co-owners enjoy a seamless and hassle-free experience. The company also recently expanded its inventory to include thousands of third-party listings, further increasing accessibility and offering shares starting at $200,000.

The Benefits of Co-Ownership with Pacaso

• Affordability: By purchasing a share of a property, buyers can own a luxury vacation home for a fraction of the cost of full ownership.
• Managed Services: Pacaso handles everything from property management to maintenance, ensuring that the home is always ready for enjoyment without the typical headaches of homeownership.
• Smart Scheduling: Pacaso’s SmartStay technology ensures equitable distribution of popular vacation dates among co-owners, maximizing usage and enjoyment.

Economic and Environmental Impact

Pacaso addresses the inefficiencies associated with traditional second-home ownership. Many second homes sit vacant for most of the year, which can strain local economies and reduce housing availability. Pacaso’s model promotes better utilization of these homes, supporting local businesses and reducing the environmental footprint of underused properties.

Our Exciting Partnership

Hard Hat Real Estate is excited to partner with Pacaso to bring this innovative co-ownership model to our clients. Through this partnership, we offer a unique opportunity for our visitors to invest in luxury vacation homes at a significantly reduced cost. Our clients can now realize their dream of owning a second home, building equity, and creating lasting family memories without the traditional financial burden.

"Pacaso's mission to democratize second-home ownership aligns perfectly with our goal of providing accessible and affordable real estate opportunities," said Malik Samara, CEO of Hard Hat Real Estate. "We are proud to partner with Pacaso and look forward to helping our clients discover the benefits of co-ownership."
