Second home co-ownership leader celebrates its fully-distributed workforce across 25 states and three countries
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacaso, the leading technology-enabled real estate marketplace that helps people buy, co-own, and sell a luxury second home, today announces that it has been Certified™ by Great Place to Work® for 2023-2024.
The respected award is based entirely on current employees' experience working at Pacaso. This year, 98% of Pacaso's crew shared that they are proud to tell others that they work at the company and 100% of the crew shared that people at Pacaso are treated fairly.
Pacaso, a fully-distributed workplace, places a high value on its crew and connectivity. The company organizes regular All Crew retreats in Pacaso destinations and provides support such as a home office stipend and time zone flexibility. Diversity and inclusivity are core principles that enhance the lives of both Pacaso owners and crew members. Pacaso offers a competitive benefits package that encompasses health coverage, a 401k plan, and incentive stock options. Notably, the Crew Pacaso Ownership Program (CPOP) empowers employees to earn up to $25,000 over five years for owning a Pacaso of their own, encouraging second home ownership and personal engagement with the brand's co-ownership model.
"Pacaso's Great Place to Work certification is a testament to the dedication of our crew members. Through their commitment and passion for our mission, we achieved our most successful month in company history in August 2023, with a remarkable 142% increase in funded shares compared to July 2023. We redefine the way people experience and own second homes, and our crew members play a pivotal role in making it all possible," said Austin Allison, CEO and co-founder of Pacaso.
In just three years, Pacaso has built a thriving community of over 1,500 owners, with more than 90,000 cumulative nights booked by owners and their guests. The company's operations span across 40 destination communities worldwide, achieving historical resale gains of over 10%, and accumulating $1 billion in revenue.
