Co-buyers and real estate investors can build their profiles now, ahead of the launch of the members-only Pairgap Community

Buying real estate with a partner is one of the smartest ways to build wealth, and our new site makes it easy to get started.”

— Nikki Merkerson, founder and CEO of Pairgap

THORNTON, CO, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Pairgap, a real estate co-buying platform for first-time homebuyers and real estate investors who want to buy property together, has launched a redesigned website that brings its planning tools together and opens profile building ahead of the members-only Pairgap Community, which launches in the coming weeks.

The site lays out a simple path for visitors. They can take the Real Estate Partner Test to see what kind of real estate partner they are, run the numbers with the Co-Buyer Calculator, and then build a buyer profile in the Pairgap app. A completed profile is required to join the Pairgap Community, which will be open only to vetted members. Buyers who finish their profiles now will be ready to start meeting other co-buyers on the day the community opens.

Inside the Pairgap Community, members will follow a readiness roadmap based on where they are starting. Co-buyer teams work through tools for setting short- and long-term goals and building a Real Estate Prenup together. Buyers who come in on their own will have space to meet other members and get to know them before any commitment is made.

The redesign also brings all of Pairgap’s sites under one look and one message. Co-buyers and investors land on separate pages written for their goals. The Co-Buyer Calculator page keeps visitors focused on their numbers, and the Real Estate Partner Test page features photos of real people.

“Buying real estate with a partner is one of the smartest ways to build wealth, and our new site makes it easy to get started,” said Nikki Merkerson, founder and CEO of Pairgap. “In a few minutes, you can find out what kind of partner you are, see what you can afford together, and build your profile. When our community opens, you’ll walk in ready to meet other people who are just as serious about owning real estate as you are. I can’t wait to see who finds each other in there.”

The launch comes as more Americans wait longer to buy their first home. The median age of a first-time buyer has risen to 40, according to the National Association of Realtors. Pairgap gives buyers who are priced out on their own a structured way to combine buying power with someone else.

Interest in this approach is growing beyond the digital experience. Through Pairgap Live™, the company’s Co-Buying Real Estate Tour, Pairgap is connecting with prospective buyers at in-person events across New York City neighborhoods. The tour continues in the Bronx, while the company builds relationships in other cities as it looks to expand beyond New York.

Merkerson spent more than two decades in housing and financial services, including as a Community Reinvestment Officer at JPMorgan Chase. She is the author of Pair’d: A Dating Guide to Real Estate Partnerships.
