About Restored Living | Co-Buying Platform for Massachusetts

What Housing Was Always Supposed to Be

We believe housing should be where people thrive, financially, physically, and socially.

The way we do housing in this country assumes you're buying alone, living alone, and figuring it out alone. That assumption is why it's so expensive, why the homes are in the condition they're in, and why so many people feel disconnected from the place they live.

Our name says it all. We're restoring what housing was always supposed to be: a place that restores you. Not just a roof. Not just an investment. A home that actively contributes to your financial security, your physical wellbeing, and your sense of belonging.

Our Three Pillars

Affordability.

We make ownership accessible through co-buying. Split the down payment 2-4 ways. Share the mortgage. Build equity from day one, for less than what you're currently paying in rent. And it goes beyond the mortgage: when you share a home with people you trust, the cost of living well drops across the board, from utilities and everyday expenses to the things that actually make a house feel like a home.

Health.

Every property in our network is evaluated using a Healthy Home Index: measuring natural light, air quality, outdoor access, noise levels, ventilation, and community design. We believe your home should make you healthier, not sicker. This isn't a luxury feature. It's a baseline requirement.

Community.

We match co-buyers based on lifestyle compatibility, values alignment, and financial fit. Then we provide the structure: co-ownership agreements, communication frameworks, and shared decision-making tools, so the community thrives long after move-in day. Intentional community isn't an accident. It's designed.

Who We Serve

Stepping Stone Buyers.

Young professionals using co-buying as a launchpad. Build equity for 5–10 years, then use the proceeds for the next property.

Condo Neighbors.

Couples or groups that want to know who's living next to them. Combine buying power to buy a multiunit or side-by-side property with another group.

Multigenerational Living.

Downsizing seniors looking to age in place, larger families, and those that value living in community. Build a home that grows and contracts as your lives change.

Makers & Builders.

Entrepreneurs and hobbyists who are value aligned that want a space to bring their dreams to life. Split the cost not only of your home, but also equipment or even a commercial space.

What Happens When Someone Leaves?

Co-buying is a decision to live better and to match the financial leverage that investors have had for years. But life changes, and your arrangement should be built to handle that.

Your relationship to the home and your group can take a lot of forms. Say you're relocating but don't want to give up your equity. You can keep your ownership share, rent out your portion, and continue benefiting from the property's appreciation while the other residents or Restored Living handle the day-to-day. Maybe one person is ready to sell and the others want to stay. We help determine a fair price for that share and restructure the group without disrupting anyone's living situation. Or maybe everyone's ready to move on, we're here to facilitate the full sale for you.

There are many options, and it's helpful to think about what's best for your situation. Our hub walks you and your co-buyers through timelines, priorities, and what each person's exit path looks like so that when something does change, you're prepared.

Meet Our Founder

Aidan Regan

Founder

Aidan Regan comes from years in real estate brokerage, working from residential investors to multifamily developers. It became clear that the industry had a crisis, as regular people simply can't afford to buy or even rent anymore. In a search for a solution, he came across small communities living incredibly both abundantly and affordably. A realization was made — the way these communities share ownership and pool resources is essentially what real estate buyers do as General Partners and Limited Partners do to execute successful investment projects. Not only that, but the philosophy of sharing other burdens of life; chores, meals, utility bills, etc. began to look like a real solution to other issues we're currently dealing with. Restored Living is the product of the question: "Why is collaborative buying not completely commonplace? And what can we do to lower the obstacles that stand in the way?"
