You reserve time using the eGOa ® app, powered by our Smarthome™ scheduling system. It’s easy to use and equitable for co-owners, based on the number of shares you own. The system supports two types of stays: advance and short notice.
· Early bird stays are scheduled 8 days to 24 months in advance, and each owner has access to an early bird stay that falls on a special date (e.g. government holidays and popular local events).
· Short-notice stays are booked between 2-30 days prior to arrival. (Note: For homes with unsold stock, the short-notice booking period is 2-7 days prior to arrival.) See the FAQs on eGOaPlanner for more details.

EGOA helps people buy, own, and enjoy a true real estate asset. Most timeshares, by contrast, sell the right to use a fixed amount of time in a condo or hotel shared by dozens of people. These units are notoriously difficult to sell due to the imbalance between supply and demand. EGOA brings together a small group of co-owners to purchase a share of a single-family home and enjoy ongoing access. Egoa handles all management details, provides full transparency on the company’s operating expenses, and facilitates a seamless resale on the open market once the homes have been fully sold.

Owning real estate with others in a company is not a new practice. However, co-ownership without knowledge is a headache to set up and a hassle to manage, especially when it comes to personal relationships. Co-ownership in a fully managed company from EGOA is a technology-based real estate ownership solution that eliminates the interpersonal stress and operational hassles of going it alone.

No. EGOA ownership is structured through a company. Co-owners purchase a share of the company, which holds the deed to the home. This structure gives EGOA co-owners protection, privacy, and flexibility. A tenancy in common is a specific type of ownership format with deeded ownership for each individual partial owner.

The operating costs of the home, such as property management, maintenance, taxes and repairs, are passed on directly to the co-owners in a transparent manner and without any mark-ups. These costs are shared proportionally according to the number of shares each co-owner owns.
Additionally, co-owners pay an additional monthly fee that covers company oversight, ongoing support for the co-owner, and technology that enhances their experience as a co-owner. However, this fee can vary depending on the property, as if it is a larger house or apartment, maintenance and management costs will be higher.

EGOA manages all aspects of homeownership including: directly managing the property or choosing and overseeing the property management company in select markets; maintaining the company and resolving any disputes between homeowners or the municipality; continually innovating and improving the EGOA app and other digital technologies to help co-owners schedule more efficiently; and providing tax forms and handling property tax payments.

Yes, co-owners can rent out their property on sites like Airbnb or similar. To do so, they must schedule the days through the Egoa app, as if they were making a reservation. However, it is important to act with discretion and responsibility when renting out the property to third parties. Any claim or demand from a third party related to the rental will be the responsibility of the co-owner who has rented out the property.
- 13
Yes. We manage the company and the property, and in select markets we hire local third-party property managers on behalf of co-owners. Working with trusted partners, we have established a technology-based feedback loop between co-owners and property managers to ensure communication is streamlined and quality is exceptional.

Yes, with EGOA’s “Own with a Friend” program, you and a friend can purchase an EGOA share together and save up to 50% on the total cost of ownership. You can split the purchase price, down payment, and monthly operating expenses in half, and split or share time with your friend and make the most of the 6-7 annual stays that come with your share on average. Your allocation of use/stays in the home will be up to both co-owners to determine. It doesn’t need to be split equally as long as both parties agree. EGOA won’t control how you divide your time. Plus, you’ll get full personal use of the EGOA app with your friend, including scheduling, support, and more.

We have found from experience that co-owners show a real pride of ownership and typically leave their home in excellent condition. To ensure a quality experience for each homeowner, homes are inspected after each visit. Any damage beyond normal wear and tear is the responsibility of the co-owner who was using the home at the time.
