You reserve time using the Paradoor app, which operates on an equitable scheduling system. It's user-friendly and fair for owners based on the number of shares owned. The system supports two types of stays: advance and short-notice. See additional Scheduling FAQs for more details.

Absolutely not. Paradoor facilitates the purchase, ownership, and enjoyment of a genuine real estate asset - which you may sell and enjoy the benefit of any capital growth. In contrast, most timeshares sell the right to use a fixed amount of time in a shared apartment or hotel. Paradoor brings together a small group of co-owners for a single-family home share, ensuring ongoing access.

Owning real estate with others is a long-standing practice. However, DIY co-ownership can be challenging, especially when personal or family relationships are involved. Paradoor's fully managed co-ownership trust is a technology-enabled solution that eliminates the stress and hassle of solo ventures.

Owners pay a $300 monthly management fee covering home operating costs, property management, Trust oversight, ongoing owner support, and technology enhancing the owner experience. Maintenance, taxes, and repairs are transparently passed along directly to owners on a pro-rata basis.

We've partnered with Luxico, a leading property management and concierge service, to provide exceptional management services to our owners.

As a service to owners, Paradoor collaborates with professional interior designers and stylists to decorate and furnish the home to the highest standards. The goal is to create luxurious surroundings for effortless living.

On average, owners can stay 6-7 times per year, depending on personal preferences. Your usage can vary each year based on your chosen dates.

We encourage maximum use of each Paradoor. Short-notice stays offer flexibility to book within the next 2-30 days without planning far in advance. They don't count toward your advance stay limit.

The Paradoor app is user-friendly. It displays real-time availability for general stays (up to 24 months in advance) and short-notice stays (2-30 days in advance). Our team is always happy to help you with any scheduling questions.

The Paradoor app guarantees each owner one Special Date per share. If not secured, the 24-month calendar allows future requests.

Owners can book up to 24 months in advance, providing flexibility for planning.

We encourage cancellations at least 30 days before arrival. Late cancellations are allowed twice over 12 months without penalty. The third late cancellation freezes one general stay for 30 days.

If a date is available, you can secure it instantly via the Paradoor app. Booked stay dates are listed in the app's Upcoming Stays tab.

Standard arrival and departure are at noon. Requests for earlier arrivals or later departures are accommodated by your Home Manager when possible, with notifications 48 hours in advance.

Routine matters encompass minor repairs to maintain the home in owner-ready condition, such as ongoing maintenance like replacing a broken dishwasher.

Owners are not individually responsible for life-limited items needing repair or replacement, covered by the Trust reserve fund. However, owners are accountable for items damaged due to their actions, such as a broken window.

Paradoor is responsible for property taxes and passes these through to each owner. Tax funds are included in owner operating expenses. It's advised to consult a tax professional for more details.

Any Paradoor owner can decide to sell their ownership interest at any time. Owners independently control the sale and pricing of their share. Paradoor provides a current valuation to assist in setting the price. The process involves utilising an existing marketplace of buyers, marketing the home on Paradoor and third-party websites, and streamlining the closing process.

Before offering their share to an open market, the 7 other owners have a first right of refusal to acquire.

While Paradoor suggests a market price, the seller has the final say. It's your asset after all!

Yes, buyers are welcome to make offers, and the seller can choose to accept or decline any offer.

Alongside listing the home on Paradoor and other websites, active marketing efforts, such as open houses and promotional campaigns, are employed. If buyer interest is lacking, despite these efforts, lowering the asking price may be recommended.

A standard commission fee is deducted from the final sale price for the seller. Buyers face no title, inspection, or service fees for resale transactions. At closing, buyers fund the initial two months of the home’s operating expenses, akin to property tax and insurance “prepaids” in a traditional sale.

Opting to sell ownership interest in your home provides ongoing use, cost distribution, and liquidity realisation. For those enamoured with their second home but seeking more value, co-ownership with Paradoor proves enticing.

When your home aligns with Paradoor's criteria, they market and sell a pre-determined ownership percentage. Following the sale of these interests, the home enters a property-specific Trust. Sellers maintain ownership up to 50%, with Paradoor finding buyers for the remaining shares.

The selling process is effortless for you as a seller. Collaborating with a local real estate agent, custom print and digital marketing materials are crafted to showcase your home. Post-closing, necessary repairs and designer touches are implemented.

With a database of over 65,000 potential buyers, Paradoor's adept team stimulates buyer demand through diverse marketing strategies. Partnerships with local real estate agents further extend the reach within the community.

All owners undergo vetting, committing to a practical owner code of conduct. The home is exclusively reserved for owners and their guests (rentals are not permitted).

Each home undergoes scrutiny from the interior design team. If existing furniture aligns with Paradoor's vision, direct purchase from the seller occurs. Otherwise, a comprehensive interior design or styling makeover is initiated post-closing.

Upon selling half of the available ownership interest, Paradoor collaborates with the seller to contribute the home to a property-specific Trust. Following contribution, owners commence usage while the company sells the remaining ownership.

Upon selling all shares in your home, you gain the flexibility to sell your ownership at any juncture. You determine the price, and the home is marketed akin to a whole home listing, with other owners holding the right of first refusal.

Paradoor collaborates with agents and offers a 3% referral commission. If your clients choose to sell their Paradoor, you earn an effortless 1% referral commission on each resale for a lifetime.

Absolutely. Paradoor neighbors are real estate property owners who, just like you, bring an owner mentality to their home and community. They are respectful and want to be part of a community, rather than blow-in renters there for a short time. In addition, Paradoor homes have the benefit of maximum utilisation -- unlike most holiday homes which lay empty 90% the year, Paradoor owners utilise the home year-round, supporting local businesses through all seasons. Each Paradoor also has a local Home Manager who takes care of the home, and we exclusively seek to use local companies to provide property maintenance services.
