Welcome to the Geohaus FAQ
At Geohaus, we’re reimagining the path to homeownership through a flexible partnership model. Whether you’re a member looking to access real estate affordably, or a realtor helping clients explore new ownership opportunities, this FAQ answers the most common questions about how our share-based co-ownership structure works. From how equity builds over time to how properties are managed and resold, this guide is designed to provide clear, transparent information so you can feel confident every step of the way.
Members purchase shares in a corporation that owns a specific unit within a Geohaus development. Your share represents your percentage of ownership in that unit. If you choose to exit, you can sell your shares in the corporation.
Â
Your initial membership fee and monthly payments go toward building equity in your unit. While exact returns vary based on market conditions, your contribution (e.g., $5,000 or $10,000) is credited toward ownership.
Â
You can choose to live in the unit or simply hold your shares in the home. The program is flexible and adapts to different lifestyle needs.
Â
You can resell your shares at any time. Geohaus also offers the option to transfer into other units or larger properties if your needs change.
Â
Your ownership is secured through a corporate share structure tied to real property. You’re a registered shareholder in the company that owns your specific unit.
Â
Geohaus Property Management takes care of day-to-day property management, ensuring maintenance, resident needs, and property standards are upheld.
Â
Minor repairs (under $100) and issues like cabinet doors or lighting are typically covered under warranty and resolved by Geohaus.
