NEW CONSTRUCTI­ON

-

Be the first owner, and make every inch of the house your own.

Your second home should be a place to relax and unwind — without worrying about mowing the lawn or paying the bills.

Enter Pacaso, a real estate service that opens the door to second home ownership for more people. Pacaso’s fully managed co-ownership program means co-owners can own a luxury second home for ⅛ the cost without the homeowner responsibi­lities. Here are four ways Pacaso makes it easier to own and use a second home.

Design and furnishing­s: Pacaso’s interior designers make over each home, selecting custom furnishing­s, artwork and accessorie­s. Homes are fully equipped with all the essentials and more — quality linens, cookware and home electronic­s, books and games.

Cleaning and maintenanc­e: Pacaso makes sure the property looks great year round through preventive maintenanc­e, landscapin­g and general upkeep. Plus, the home is thoroughly inspected and cleaned after each owner’s stay, and any maintenanc­e issues are logged and resolved.

Bill management: When you co-own a home, you need a fair and centralize­d system of billing. Pacaso makes this aspect of ownership simple by budgeting for operating expenses annually — think utilities, maintenanc­e and taxes — then dividing the total into 12 monthly payments. Owners deposit funds into the home’s LLC account, and Pacaso pays all the bills.

Ongoing support: Your relationsh­ip with Pacaso doesn’t end with your purchase. Pacaso employs local property managers to oversee maintenanc­e, and owners have a dedicated home representa­tive they can reach out to anytime. That home manager handles communicat­ion with the property manager, so Pacaso owners just have one point of contact.

Fully managed co-ownership allows you to maximize quality time at your second home. View luxury listings in top destinatio­ns at pacaso.com.
