Our Platform

‍

Co-ownerOS™ represents a fundamental shift in how shared property ownership works. As we noted at launch: "Homeownership has a basic design flaw: it's single-player. We're fixing that."

‍

‍The platform leverages blockchain technology to create immutable, version-controlled agreements that evolve with co-owners' lives—transforming static legal documents into dynamic, living systems.

‍

‍

Market Leadership

‍

Our annual research reveals that 30% of all US home sales now involve co-buyers—representing 61 million Americans who co-own with non-spouses. This isn't a trend; it's the new reality of homeownership.

‍

‍Founders

‍

‍CoBuy was started by Matt Holmes (CEO) and Pam Hughes (COO), a mother-son team who experienced firsthand the challenges of co-buying and dedicated themselves to solving this problem for millions of Americans.
