Overview: In this episode, Greg Robertson chats with Austin Allison, CEO of Pacaso, about his entrepreneurial journey in real estate, starting with Dotloop and transitioning to his current venture, Pacaso. The discussion covers lessons learned from his early career, how Pacaso is revolutionizing second home ownership, and insights into raising capital through innovative approaches like Regulation A. Key Takeaways: 1. Austin's Journey in Real Estate: • Austin Allison started his real estate career early, getting his license at 18. His early experiences selling homes during college inspired him to create Dotloop, which he later sold to Zillow. • The entrepreneurial lessons from Dotloop, including navigating challenging markets and working with large real estate brands like Keller Williams, set the foundation for his future ventures. 2. The Birth of Pacaso: • After selling Dotloop, Austin co-founded Pacaso, a platform aimed at democratizing second home ownership by enabling people to co-own luxury homes. The idea stemmed from his own experience of buying a second home and realizing most vacation homes sit unused for much of the year. • Pacaso allows people to purchase a share of a vacation home, creating more efficient and accessible ways to own luxury properties. 3. The Challenges of Scaling a Startup: • Pacaso had rapid growth, especially during the early days of the pandemic when people sought second homes, but faced new challenges in 2023 due to rising interest rates and a cooling real estate market. • The company has refocused on profitability and expanding its market presence globally, with operations in the U.S., Europe, and Mexico. 4. Innovative Fundraising through Regulation A: • Pacaso recently explored raising capital through Regulation A, a public fundraising method that allows retail investors to buy into private companies. This method democratizes access to investment opportunities typically reserved for institutional investors. • Austin believes this approach aligns with Pacaso's mission of making second home ownership more accessible and also raises brand awareness by turning investors into advocates. 5. Future of Pacaso and Second Home Ownership: • Pacaso aims to continue expanding its product offerings and entering new markets. While the current focus is on high-net-worth individuals, Austin envisions future opportunities to lower the entry point for ownership, making the Pacaso model more accessible to a broader audience. • Austin emphasizes the long-term potential of Pacaso and the importance of scaling the business carefully to meet the demands of a large, untapped market.

Marshall Cox is a PhD in Electrical Engineering, and the Founder and CEO at Kelvin, winner of the MIT Clean energy prize, the Popular Science Innovation Award, and the Verizon Powerful Answers award. The Kelvin team has developed a system that eliminates overheating in pre-war buildings. The system, called the Cozy, is a wireless, low-cost, and easily installed retrofit that drops on top of radiators to control indoor temperatures in buildings with radiator heat. In individual installations the system can eliminate overheating and vastly improve comfort. By retrofitting whole buildings, the Cozy redistributes steam flow to heat up colder rooms faster, saving up to 40% in heating costs and yielding a potential cumulative annual savings of $7 billion over the 120 million residential and commercial radiators in the United States.(0:22) - Why should we decarbonize buildings (2:47) - Origin of heating tech(3:55) - Carrots & sticks for building decarbonization(7:17) - Kelvin origins(9:46) - Kelvin's smart radiator covers(11:37) - Improving operations' bottom line(12:55) - Financing decarbonization solutions(15:31) - Cozy's low maintenance (17:22) - Precision in estimating building savings(19:50) - Hybrid electrification adoption(25:30) - Elevating living experience for renters(26:38) - Collaboration Superpower: Jigar Shah (Director of Loan Programs in the US DoE)

Founder and CEO of Pacaso, Austin Allison, discusses how co-ownership has become the smart and responsible model of purchasing a second home, and could help ease the affordability problem in in-demand areas.
Joining Lloyd this week, is Austin Allison, CEO of Pacaso, the fastest-growing tech unicorn of all time. From humble beginnings, and an unusual path, Austin Allison, founder at Pacaso, has taken an unconventional path to the top. A self-proclaimed “troubled teen” and near high-school drop-out, Austin, on the back of an epiphanical moment, turned his life around to become a top performer at college, and become a multi-unicorn founder. Son of a carpenter, with a clear entrepreneurial streak from a young age, selling birdhouses having seen the joy a birdhouse made by his father brought to his mother, Austin started his first business aged 8. Fast-forward a number of years, and Austin has founded a business sold for 9 figures, and now founded the fastest-growing tech unicorn ever. From 0 to a $1B+ valuation in 5 months! However, what stands out with Austin is his attention to culture. Despite all this success, where Austin really takes pride is in the environments he has created and the room for his team to flourish. Infusing Pacaso with an Infinite Mindset, focused not on the short-term, nor even long-term, but aiming to build a business that outlives even himself, Austin's mentality is inspirational. A fantastic episode on how to build cultures, how to build sustainably in bear markets and really, a modern tech founder's guide.

Imagine owning only one-eighth of a house. You get many of the benefits of a regular holiday home, except you share the ownership with seven other parties. Would that interest you? This week I catch up with Austin Allison. Austin co-founded a platform called Pacaso which enables second-home ownership through a fractional ownership model. Through this model of home ownership, Pacaso is able to increase the utilisation of a second home from 10-15% to roughly 90%. Within six months of launching, the business scored a $1 billion valuation which skyrocketed the startup to unicorn status. In this episode, Austin and I discuss the fractional home ownership model, how Pacaso acquires properties, the spectrum of buyers, and the purchasing process. We also dig deeper into his entrepreneurial journey and how he's built such an impressive company in just two years. Discussion points 03:10 What is Pacaso 06:45 Timeshare vs Fractional Ownership 08:20 How scheduling works 14:00 Adoption of the fractional ownership model 17:51 Ways of acquiring properties 19:40 The spectrum of buyers 21:16 Austin's entrepreneurial journey 25:17 Challenges Austin's faced 29:00 Raising money for a startup 32:00 Working with investors 34:25 Austin's expectations 36:00 Family support 38:20 The mechanics of a company like Pacaso 40:00 Benefits of co-ownership 43:07 How Pacaso makes money 45:00 How the homes are sold 46:37 How real estate brokers react to Pacaso Show Sponsors: Smartkas: Providing food security as a service [https://www.instagram.com/smartkastech/?hl=en] Najahi Events: The UAE's leading event promotor [https://www.instagram.com/najahievents/?hl=en] Socials: Spencer Lodge https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/ https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV Austin Allison https://www.instagram.com/gaustinallison/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/austinallison https://mobile.twitter.com/gaustinallison

How does real estate technology help you grow your business? This episode is just right for you to answer that question. https://www.linkedin.com/in/marnieblanco (Marnie Blanco) has 24 years of experience in industry relations, business development, product management, product marketing, training, and support, with 19 years focused on the real estate vertical. In this episode, she shares insights on the technological aspects of real estate. Learn what https://www.pacaso.com/ (Pacaso) is and how Marnie manages her team effectively with the latest innovations! --- Marnie Blanco, VP of Industry Relations, Pacaso We're going to talk about fractional homeownership. Some of you know what I'm going to say, that's https://www.pacaso.com/ (Pacaso). This was the Austin Allison, Spencer Rascoff company that was started a few years ago. It makes it possible for more people to enjoy the pleasures, joys, and experiences of owning a second home without having to own the entire home, fractional ownership, either an eighth, a quarter or a half. We have Marnie Blanco. She is the Vice President of Industry Relations. We're going to chat with her about first of all how she got into the business. Second, we're going to talk a lot about Pacaso, how it works, how it can be used by agents, and get an in-depth look at this new model. Let's get this thing started. Marnie, welcome to the show. Thank you. I am excited to chat with you. Pacaso exploded on the scene. I don't know any other way to say that. When Austin and Spencer got together, it makes perfect sense that those two guys would figure something out. First, we're going to talk about you. I want to find out about you. Specifically, you live in the Denver area, is that true? Yes. I'm a little bit South of Denver in Castle Pines, Colorado. You were born and raised in Colorado, correct? Born and raised and I tell everyone I will live and die here as well. Why Colorado? I don't want to say sell me on Colorado because you don't want more people moving there, but what do you love about Colorado? It's funny you said that. I do always tell them. I'm like, "People, it's horrible here. No more people come." Born and raised and my family is here. It's all I've ever known and all I've ever lived. I am a creature of habit, but I can be that way because every job that I've had in my career for several years now has had some travel involved in it. It's pretty extensive travel. I still see all parts of the country. I still get to get out and spread my wings, but Colorado is special to me. [caption id="attachment_4278" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Real Estate Technology: Take that leap and don't be afraid to make changes in your professional life.[/caption] The number one reason is my family is here. Particularly, my sister, who lives about five minutes down the street from me. She has two girls. I have two girls. They're all a year apart from each other. They go to school together. I always say, "I would live and die here," with the disclaimer that if she decides for some reason to get up and move, then I would follow her. You both are probably saying the same thing about Colorado. All is good. You're going to stay there. I asked this question a lot to people when we talk about where they grew up. Give me the biggest misconception about your home state. Every time people hear Colorado, they say skiing. All you do is ski. People ask me all the time if I ski, and I did as a younger kid. I had to come to grips with the fact that if I'm being honest with myself, I don't like skiing. I'm not going to do it anymore. The biggest misconception is people think Colorado is all about skiing, where in fact, it's more of an outdoorsy type of state. We have our Colorado mountains that are famous for skiing, but people go there just as much in the summer and other seasons than they do in the winter. It's a year-round type of state. We have...

The marketing of co-owned vacation homes in a scenic part of Northern California is causing an uproar among full-time residents. Real estate company Pacaso is buying single-family homes within driving distance of busy metro areas, and reselling them to as many as eight buyers. It’s an idea that has evolved during the pandemic. But it’s also creating a debate over the impact of co-owned homes in single-family neighborhoods.Pacaso was planning to launch its co-ownership plan in a few vacation spots before the pandemic began, but like everything else, those plans were delayed by COVID-19. Over those next several months, the Pacaso strategy changed. The pandemic highlighted the importance of “home” and created new vacation preferences. Pacaso’s original idea for co-owned vacation homes that might involve air travel morphed into one focused on a one to two-hour drive from home.At the helm of Pacaso are two Zillow executives -- former Zillow co-founder and CEO, Spencer Rascoff, and former Zillow executive, Austin Allison who’s serving as the Pacaso CEO.The concept of co-ownership is nothing new, but they say Pacaso makes it easier. As the website boasts: “Co-ownership simplified. We manage the home, and you own it. It’s the modern way to buy and own a second home.”Allison also explained in a press release: “The traditional process is difficult, high risk and onerous. Pacaso is the easy button for co-ownership.” They finally launched their new Pacaso model last October with $267 million in funding. The company is calling it the “Pacaso everywhere” plan.It begins with an interested buyer who wants a part-time vacation home they can drive to. Pacaso helps that first buyer determine how much time they’d like to spend in the home, sets up an LLC, and finds other buyers. Pacaso also manages the property so the owners don’t have to.As many as eight buyers can purchase a home and use the home for 44 days a year. Buyers can buy more than one share if they’d like more time in the home, and that would reduce the total number of owners. In the city of Napa, Pacaso is selling co-ownership shares for a home on Rainier street. It’s a quite, working-class neighborhood, according to a CBS report. Homes are about 1,300-square feet and sell for $700 to $800,000. The Pacaso home is going for $184,000 a share.It’s not a short-term rental because all the people occupying the home are owners, but it’s causing a short-term rental type uproar. In this case, the neighbors are opposed to having what they call a “time-share” vacation home in their neighborhood. Some of those neighbors told CBS, they feel like the co-owners won’t be involved in the community and are simply “sneaking” into the neighborhood. Signs have gone up staying: “Stop Pacaso. Don’t commercialize our neighborhood.” They also argue that co-owned homes are reducing the affordable housing supply. It worth noting that homes in that neighborhood are going for 700 to $800,000. Pacaso’s Allison had a few good points in response to the uproar. He argues that by selling these homes to eight second-home owners, there are fewer people in the competition pool for second homes. He also clarifies that these homes are not time-shares because they are owner-occupied. His arguments didn’t convince the City Attorney in nearby St. Helena who declared them illegal under a law that prohibits time-shares. Pacaso has filed a lawsuit in that case.In defense of company objectives, Allison says Pacaso is helping people who can’t afford to buy their vacation dream homes or don’t want the home to sit vacant for most of the year. And he says: “It’s really not up to other neighbors to say who can or can’t own in their neighborhood. Just because somebody can’t afford a $1.5 million home, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be able to co-own a $1.5 million home with a coupe of other people.”If you want to investigate this topic further, you’ll find a links on the podcast player page for this episode at NewsForInvestors.com.Links:1 - https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/pacaso-launches-to-create-new-category-of-second-home-ownership-secures-267-million-in-funding-301143719.html2 - https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/04/28/homeowners-in-a-battle-with-company-converting-houses-into-co-owned-wine-country-vacation-homes/3 - https://www.pacaso.com/
Austin Allison is the co-founder of the disruptive real estate startup Pacaso, which recently became the fastest company to ever reach unicorn status, or a $1 billion valuation. I recently featured Pacaso in a Forbes piece published on April 1st, where I highlighted the company’s unique value proposition, which centers around letting individuals own fractional shares of luxury second homes. Austin shares how buying his first home at the age of 17 sparked his passion for real estate, and the surprising start to his entrepreneurial journey (hint: it has to do with birds). Also, I asked you to take a walk down memory lane with me and share your first every job and salary. A few of your submissions are highlighted in the show.
This post is part of a Youtube/Podcast/Click-able Blog Series called “After The Exit” — the show where I interview CEO's after they've sold their startup and have them share the lessons they learned in blood about business, relationships, and life. Look — you can learn a couple tips from how they built it, but the real wisdom — the moral of the story — comes at the end — after the exit. Today I'm really excited to introduce you to Austin Allison, former founder and CEO of dotloop. Austin started selling real estate at the age of 18, and worked in residential and commercial real estate for a decade. In 2008, in his hometown of Cincinnati, he founded dotloop- a company that created software to seamlessly manage real estate transactions. Zillow acquired dotloop in 2015, and Austin continued to run dotloop as a Zillow executive until 2018. He is now cofounder and CEO of Picaso, which enables people to buy a second home through shared ownership.
