Recent Articles/Co-owning/How Pacaso Resale Works

Selling a whole home usually involves checking recent sales in your neighborhood, estimating your home’s value on real estate websites, setting a price, listing the property, and waiting for offers.

​With a Pacaso, the process is similar—but much simpler and more streamlined. Here’s how it works.

A Built-In Marketplace

With Pacaso, you can list your ownership interest anytime (after 12 months if units are still pending). No waiting for the "right" market conditions. No pressure. Just a straightforward process that starts when you’re ready.

First, they provide a comparative market analysis (CMA)—a data-driven valuation based on local comps, luxury market trends, and insights into what second-home buyers are willing to pay. Whether you follow their recommendation or adjust based on your own research, the choice is always yours.

Unlike traditional sales, where you’re starting from scratch, Pacaso taps into two powerful buyer pools before your share even hits the open market:

  • Co-Owners Choose First: The other owners in your home are notified first. Why? Because they already love the property and understand the benefits of owning a Pacaso. They may be eager to increase their share. They have five days to decide, creating a fast and easy sale opportunity.
  • Pacaso’s Curated Buyer Network: Many homes have waitlists of qualified buyers who missed out the first time. The Pacaso sales team actively matches your share with these pre-vetted prospects, often securing a sale without the need for a public listing.

Full-Scale Marketing—Without the Hassle

If your share doesn’t sell through those channels, Pacaso’s team steps in with the same aggressive marketing used for primary listings.

​They’ll promote your share widely on the open market to maximize visibility and ensure every opportunity for a successful sale—using targeted digital ads, local broker networks, open houses, and featured placements on the Pacaso platform. You’ll have a dedicated team working to secure the best possible offer.

Speedy & Stress-Free Closings

Here’s where Pacaso’s LLC model shines. Since the home’s title doesn’t change hands (only your membership interest does), closings are remarkably smooth. Cash buyers can close in a single day; financed deals wrap up in 1–2 weeks—no lengthy escrow, no title delays.

This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about value. Independent research from RCLCO shows Pacaso shares appreciated faster than traditional luxury homes, with an average annual growth rate of 9.7% in 2024, compared to 5% for similar properties. In top markets like Napa and Lake Tahoe, Pacaso shares surged by 12.4% and 9.5%, respectively—well above local averages.

​9.7% average gains on resales mean owners aren’t just enjoying their second home—they’re building equity.

Your Questions, Answered

Your Questions, Answered

  • "Can I set my own price?" Absolutely. Pacaso advises, but you decide.
  • "What if my share doesn’t sell?" If buyers aren’t showing interest even after all the marketing Pacaso does, they might suggest dropping the price.
  • "Are there hidden fees?" Sellers pay a 6% commission fee, which is deducted from the final sale price. Buyers, on the other hand, don’t pay any title, inspection, or service fees. At closing, buyers contribute the first two months of the home’s operating expenses—similar to prepaid property taxes and insurance in a traditional sale. If the purchase is financed, a financing fee is also due at closing.

The Bottom Line

The Bottom Line

Pacaso’s resale process isn’t just easier—it’s built for co-owners who value control, growth, and peace of mind.

Pacaso’s ownership model goes beyond convenience—it's a complete reimagining of what second home ownership should be. It’s designed for a stress-free, turnkey lifestyle, where flexibility comes first and the burden of being an accidental landlord isn’t even part of the equation. That’s why Pacaso homes consistently appreciate in value, outperforming traditional luxury homes in market after market.

So ask yourself: If you could design the perfect way to own a second home—wouldn’t it look exactly like this?
