Pacaso Arvostelua 

I’ve spent a good deal of time trying to educate people on what Pacaso is all about, and they use the same word: no-brainer. Why wouldn’t everybody buy a Pacaso? We wanted to bring friends and family to a place where they could vacation too. The house is beautiful, and we have space for multiple groups. Our whole family sleeps very well when we’re at our Pacaso and we feel like our best selves when we are there. Plus, it’s nice to walk into the house and see things that I already have in my primary home. It makes our Pacaso feel that much more like home to us.

It's not until I take friends and family to my Pacaso that they truly appreciate the whole experience and value proposition. Pacaso does an excellent job of putting the house together in a way that a lot of designers don't. I love the size and the breathtaking views, and I can bring a lot of friends and family over to entertain. Now that we have the home, the kids feel compelled to come. We've had a lot of really cherished moments together.

Initially we loved Pacaso. We loved our home and the staff was always responsive. Then after a year, they assessed each home owner approximately $8K as they didn't budget accurately. On top of that, they increased our monthly payment by 65%!! It's a real bait and switch where they lure you into ownership and then assess you a huge amount at the end of the year (no forewarning whatsoever), and then greatly increase your monthly fee. At a time when inflation is less than 4% how in the world can they justify a 65% increase?

I’ve been going to Tahoe once or twice a ski season, renting Airbnbs with my brother and his family. I thought it’d be great to have a vacation home, but it seemed like such a hassle. I think the Pacaso model solves a lot of that. Scheduling is one of the best things about our Pacaso so far. The app has been terrific. I’m a UX designer working in apps, and I appreciate all the built-in features. I find that I'm getting most of the dates I want. Being able to share home information with guests has been a nice addition. We’ve tried swapping dates recently and that totally worked out for us too. Plus, I love having a home manager — that kind of white-glove approach is terrific. The thing I love about my Pacaso is that it’s not only a beautiful home but it also becomes a gravitational pull to bring in friends and family to spend quality time together!

My husband and I have owned a timeshare in Palm Desert for the past 12 years, and have loved coming to this beautiful paradise. During the pandemic, we explored ownership possibilities, and our son suggested we upgrade from our timeshare in the Valley and transition to owning real estate with Pacaso. A few months later, we were at the BNP Tennis tournament and saw Pacaso everywhere. It was literally a sign to move forward! We are now very happy owners of 2 shares and love the elevated quality of life we enjoy while at our Pacaso home. Every minute detail of ensuring a turnkey experience, is provided. We are thrilled with being Pacaso owners.

From start to finish the people at Pacaso were friendly, patient, transparent and extremely helpful. I had prior experience with the shared-ownership concept but the Pacaso folks answered every question and provided me with all of the information I requested. Financing was a breeze and the on-boarding/welcoming people were extremely helpful. The entire process was a wonderful experience.

The process of purchasing our first Pacaso home was fast and easy. While it was a phenomenal house, it wasn't the perfect fit for our family with three kids. We were able to use the transfer program and it couldn't have been easier to switch houses. Now we’re in a home that’s a much better fit for our family.

Our home manager has been nothing short of amazing. She's not just a manager but a friend, going the extra mile to make our guests feel at home when we can't be there.

Pacaso has truly been a game-changer. It just makes sense for us. It has forced us to take meaningful vacations together as a family. We're invested in this house for the long term, envisioning years of enjoyment and even the possibility of future generations creating memories here. It's the perfect fit for where we are in life right now, and I have zero regrets about our Pacaso investment.

The team has been great to work with. Chad, Lana, and Phoebe have been very prompt, helpful, and supportive. All we need to do now is have our first stay! Very happy with the process.

Smooth process with all considerations handled well.
Property is well appointed and maintained, everything I needed to sell my existing home and go care free in the location I have loved for so long!

Acquiring a luxury home in a desirable area with Pacaso is seamless. The Pacaso team provides proactive, transparent communication. They are professional, knowledgeable, personable, and committed to their clients having an excellent home ownership experience.

Transparency, honesty, flexibility. Fantastic idea, excellent execution. Everybody wins.

“Is this real? It’s so easy from an agent’s perspective. There has to be a catch. I kept thinking, what’s the hitch? There has to be something in the background. Is it this easy? And it is, it was. It’s that simple, it’s that turnkey. Pacaso took care of everything from the beginning to the end. Every question was answered lickety split. No home inspection, no negotiation. It was flawless and seamless. The joy my client had was the best part. In 15 days we saw the home, financed direct though Pacaso, and closed. It was really, really wonderful.”

The experience was seamless. They have everything well thought out and the homes are in great plAces you would want to vacation

I'm leaving a second review to update on my experience. I've had my place for about a year now. I love the house we got and have been very pleased with the house maintenance, the booking system, and the overall process. The buying process was a breeze. The booking process is easy. No hate by surly neighbors looking to tar and feather us. My kids love the place, and we enjoy having a vacation spot that feels like our second home. Having storage places to leave your gear has been great. One concern I had going into the purchase was whether you were going to feel like this was AirB&B. However, that has never been an issue. We check in and no one has ever bothered us during our multiple stays or done anything to make it feel like it wasn't our place while we are there. Post-purchase, one concern I had was when Pacaso indicated it was taking house cleaning internal and whether this would result in the upkeep jumping radically as a way to increase profits. That has not been an issue for me. I think needing to internalize the work for consistency is fair given where the labor market has been. One thing people should keep in mind, is that you most likely won't be able to utilize the house 44 days a year per share. There is a day break for cleaning between guests (at least for now), there are caps on summer and holiday booking per share to keep some availability for all, and some available dates fall in mid week periods where you may not be able to stay. That being said, I think Pacaso does everything possible to keep the process fair and ensure there is reasonable availability for all. If you tried to arrange a fractional ownership set up yourself, this is where things would ultimately go to hell in a handbasket - the fighting over who gets what dates. Pacaso allows that process to be outsourced with a fair system that applies to everyone. If you are buying a share from someone, make sure you ask to see what dates they currently have booked. Overall, I think this a great approach to having a fun vacation place if you have some money to spare for a luxury item and do not want to spend the time keeping up a second home.

As soon as I walked into my Pacaso, I knew it was the right decision. The first time my family visited, a cousin said “You do realize this is the house now that we're all coming to whenever we gather” which I think is amazing. I’ve loved getting to know my neighbors, it really feels like you’re part of the community. For me, Pacaso has been a great way to have home ownership in a place I love, that I get to go back to over and over gain.

The purchase process was very streamlined, it was the most painless financing I’ve ever been a part of in a real estate transaction. The scheduling has been super easy, we’ve been able to get all the weeks we’ve wanted to get. We live close to our Pacaso so we’re able to take advantage of last-minute weekend trips when they’re available. Pacaso just made sense for us and helped us have access to an amazing vacation home without the risk of a short-term rental where local regulations might change.

We love our Pacaso house in Vail. As empty nesters it is a great place to gather our family and friends. When we are there we are enjoying an incredible house and building memories and when we are not there we have no hassles what so ever! It's been ideal for us.

Attention to details and making it easy
