Frequently Asked Questions
Co-buying is purchasing a home with friends, family, investment partners, or a significant other. (Basically anyone you’re not married to.)
We create easy-to-use tools and resources that make buying a home with friends, family, or a partner simpler. We also use our network of co-ownership-savvy real estate agents, mortgage brokers, and attorneys to help aspiring buyers find local help that is experienced and knowledgeable.
We have a full-service real estate brokerage in western Washington state. If you live elsewhere and are looking for a real estate agent, we’ll match you with one of our partner agents in your area.
Technically speaking, you could use a napkin to make a legal contract, but we don’t recommend it. Each state has its own laws around homeownership. The Pairadime Agreement Builder walks you through important questions, then gives you a drafted document an attorney can use to create a contract in accordance with your state’s laws.
If you live anywhere in the US or Canada, yes! We can connect you with a local real estate agent, mortgage broker, or attorney who is experienced in co-ownership.
Many have come to us through a recommendation. Others we’ve found through research, and some have reached out to us through our site. In any case, we personally interview each potential partner to confirm their co-ownership experience before inviting them to join our partner network.
When people team up to buy homes together it increases financial and housing security, makes sustainable living easier, and supports stronger communities. Check out our blog post on the benefits of buying a home together to learn more.
