Pacaso launches Infinity, an invitation-only luxury home exchange for second-home owners with properties valued $5M–$20M, offering curated, vetted swaps across elite destinations.
Summary: Pacaso launches Infinity, an invitation-only luxury home exchange for owners of second homes valued between USD 5 million and USD 20 million, offering vetted, technology-managed swaps across elite global destinations.
Pacaso launches Infinity as a private, invitation-only exchange aimed at owners of high-value second homes. The programme targets residences priced between USD 5 million and USD 20 million and offers curated swaps among a vetted community of homeowners located in sought-after destinations.
An exclusive network for whole-home owners
Infinity is structured as a members-only platform that brings together owners of whole second homes who meet Pacaso’s standards for design, location and property management. Participation requires personal vetting of both homeowners and their residences to maintain discretion and consistent quality across the network.
Pacaso uses its proprietary technology to handle listings, scheduling and coordination, enabling streamlined exchanges while prioritising privacy and service. The company describes Infinity as a way to unlock stays in exceptional homes that might otherwise remain underused.
My perspective on second-home ownership changed after my family exchanged homes with another family. It felt less like travel and more like being welcomed into someone else’s life,
That experience revealed how many extraordinary homes sit unused—not for lack of desire, but because there’s never been a trusted way to exchange them with like-minded owners. Infinity brings that idea to life: a private exchange where exceptional homes unlock exceptional stays.
— Austin Allison, CEO and co-founder of Pacaso
Membership terms and programme structure
Infinity membership is secured via a one-time initiation fee of USD 100,000, which grants ten years of access to the exchange network. Pacaso has capped member numbers intentionally to preserve consistent standards for quality, care and privacy within the community.

How Infinity fits within Pacaso’s offerings
Infinity is positioned as a premium tier distinct from Pacaso’s wider Global Swap programme. While Global Swap allows Pacaso co-owners to exchange properties as part of co-ownership benefits, Infinity is reserved for whole-home owners who meet higher eligibility and privacy expectations.
By combining stringent vetting, a limited membership pool and operational oversight, Pacaso aims to offer a trusted alternative to traditional luxury rentals or informal swaps among acquaintances.
Why this matters to homeowners and the travel market
For owners of high-value second homes, Infinity provides a structured, private route to exchange residences with like-minded families while preserving standards of care and discretion. From an industry perspective, the programme signals continued innovation in how affluent travellers access and use luxury properties, blending elements of membership clubs, curated hospitality and technology-enabled coordination.
So what? Infinity offers a new option for luxury homeowners who want curated stays without the formality of short-term rentals. For the travel and real estate sectors, it represents another premium, membership-driven product aimed at maximising underused high-end inventory while preserving privacy and service expectations.
