After a Tornado Hit, This Small Alabama Town Got a Mega HGTV Makeover: "It Helped Put Us on the Map"
In January 2020, HGTV announced that it was launching a new show, Home Town Takeover, that would take on a large-scale renovation and revitalization of a small town in the United States.
When the team that co-founded Zillow and grew it into a $16 billion real estate leader starts a new company, investors notice. That's why top firms like SoftBank invested in Pacaso. Taking the industry by storm once again, Pacaso's streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties — revamping a $1.3 trillionmarket. And by handing keys to over 1,500 happy homeowners, Pacaso has made more than $100 million in gross profits. Now, the company is focused on international expansion — achieving record-breaking sales in Paris, securing seven homes in Cabo, and recently acquiring their most valuable European property yet in London. You can join as an investor — but with this expansion underway, the current share price won't last long. Invest at $2.70/share by Feb. 27.
