How It Works

HOME EXCHANGING—has been around since the 1950's when teachers in Europe began swapping homes as a means of affordable travel during the long summer school vacations. The concept grew and developed from there and it's now one of the most popular trends in travel. The idea is simple and straightforward: you swap homes for an arranged period of time—your exchange partner lives in your home and you live in theirs..

LIST YOUR OWN HOME—To really become a true ”Home Exchanger” you will need to list your own home, be it your family home, or a second or vacation home. The cost for a year's membership is just $39.00 (we offer several other options as well), and your listing will “go live” immediately your payment transaction is completed. It's estimated that every year in excess of 100,000 home exchanges take place. If your home isn't listed, when those people go searching for their next trip, they won't be able to contact YOU! Remember, we never publish any of your personal contact information; no-one ever sees your name, address, phone number or email address.

CLUBS WE ASSOCIATE WITH—Over recent years we have established alliances two other clubs: Global Home Exchange in Canada, Echangeimmo in France and HomeForSwaps in the UK.

Global, Echangeimmo and HomeForSwaps enforce privacy policies very similar to our own and just like ExchangeHomes.com, are a members of CHECtravel, the organization that has created and maintains professional standards for home exchange agencies, as well as a code of conduct for individual exchangers. All CHECtravel member clubs have been assessed and approved by an independent committee consisting of club owners, industry professionals and experienced home exchangers. Your listing will appear on their site automatically at no additional cost to you. If you would prefer not to have your listing on the Echangeimmo website, please contact us.

Global Home Exchange is also an approved member of CHECtravel, with stringent privacy policies. Your listing with ExchangeHomes.com entitles you to a free listing with Global Home Exchange, but it is not automatic. Please contact us for instructions.

CONTACT IS ALWAYS PRIVATE—However, you will need to provide your personal information and list your own exchange offer before you can do so. All your information will remain absolutely secure, the privacy of our members is of enormous importance to us. It will be left to you to provide any personal information when you decide the time is right. As an ExchangeHomes.com Member you will have your own secure Administration Area and this will be the hub from which you will manage your membership.

OUR GUARANTEE!—As an ExchangeHomes.com Member we guarantee you will find a home exchange or we will extend your paid membership (to list your own home and offer) for a complete year! The following provisions apply:

You must have added photographs to your listing

You must have sent our inquiry emails yourself
