Hard Hat Real Estate: Embrace Sophisticated Fractional Ownership with Pacaso

A New Paradigm in Luxury Home Ownership

Welcome to the future of owning luxury second homes. Hard Hat Real Estate, in collaboration with Pacaso, offers a revolutionary way to own a portion of a high-end property. Enjoy the perks of owning a vacation home without the full financial burden or maintenance hassles.

The Pacaso Process: Seamless and Smart

1. Explore and Select

Begin your journey by browsing an array of stunning, fully furnished homes in prime locations. Pacaso’s curated collection ensures each property meets the highest standards of luxury and convenience.

2. Purchase Your Share

Once you’ve chosen your ideal property, purchase your desired share—ranging from one-eighth to one-half ownership. This fractional model makes luxury homes accessible, allowing you to own a piece of paradise at a fraction of the cost.

3. Co-Ownership Structure

Pacaso establishes a property-specific LLC (Limited Liability Company) for each home. Your share translates into real equity, not just a right to use the property. This LLC co-ownership model ensures your investment is protected and professionally managed.

4. Financing Options

Pacaso provides flexible financing options, including:

• Cash Purchases: Simplest and quickest way to buy your share, eliminating the need for monthly mortgage payments.
• Mortgages: Available through select banks and credit unions, though with potentially higher qualification criteria.
• Home Equity Options: Utilize a HELOC, home equity loan, or cash-out refinance to finance your purchase.
• Special Financing: Competitive loan rates through Pacaso’s banking partners, allowing up to 70% financing of the purchase price.

5. Hassle-Free Management

Pacaso handles all aspects of property management, including:

• Maintenance: Regular upkeep, repairs, and preventive maintenance to ensure the home remains in top condition.
• Utilities and Taxes: Management of all bills, property taxes, and homeowners association (HOA) fees.
• Insurance: Comprehensive property insurance to protect against potential risks.

6. Equitable Scheduling with SmartStay™

Using Pacaso’s SmartStay™ app, you can easily book your stays. The app ensures fair and flexible scheduling based on your ownership percentage:

• Advance Stays: Schedule stays from 8 days to 24 months in advance.
• Short-Notice Stays: Book stays from 2 to 30 days in advance. For homes with unsold shares, the window is 2-7 days in advance.
• Special Dates: Priority booking for holidays and local events.

7. Enjoy and Share

With your ownership share, enjoy your luxury home whenever it suits you. Bring family and friends to create unforgettable experiences in a professionally designed and furnished environment. Pacaso ensures that each home is ready for your arrival, with high-quality furnishings and amenities.

8. Resale Opportunities

If you decide to sell your share, Pacaso provides a streamlined resale process:

• Market Exposure: Your share is listed in the Pacaso marketplace and promoted through their marketing channels.
• Valuation Support: Assistance in setting a competitive price based on market conditions and property value appreciation.
• Smooth Transactions: Pacaso manages the entire resale process, ensuring a seamless transition for both the seller and the new buyer.
