Modern Luxury, Shared Smartly: Introducing Pacaso Co-Ownership for Global Buyers

Welcome to the new era of second homeownership—smarter, streamlined, and surprisingly seamless.

For many of our clients here in Chicago, life isn’t tied to just one address. From Aspen to the Amalfi Coast, the desire for a second home is real—but so are the complexities that come with owning one. That’s where Pacaso steps in, offering an elevated solution that aligns beautifully with how today’s luxury buyers live, travel, and invest.

What Is Pacaso?

Pacaso is revolutionizing second home ownership through co-ownership. Unlike a timeshare, this is true property ownership—shared across 2 to 8 vetted buyers. Each co-owner enjoys equity, appreciation, and access, all while avoiding the burden of full-time maintenance or underused square footage.

With a fully managed experience, Pacaso takes care of everything: design, furnishing, LLC formation, scheduling, repairs, utilities—even conflict resolution. Owners simply arrive, relax, and enjoy their home—on their terms.
