Worried?

Every exchange is unique and the whole concept of home exchange relies on building a relationship of mutual trust and goodwill. As with all things, there are risks involved. It’s natural to have reservations about giving up your home to strangers. What if they’re not as tidy as you are? Will they be able to work your DVD player without breaking it? How can you be sure you’re not getting a shack instead of the villa they described? Well, most of these risks can be minimized to alleviate worries and fears. And don’t forget, the people you’re exchanging with face the same risks.

Who are home exchangers?

Home exchangers come from all walks of life. For the most part, they are teachers, retirees, executives, business owners, doctors, lawyers and other professionals. Most are fairly well-educated, adventurous, reliable, and have an interest in learning more about different places and cultures. Singles as well as couples and families are getting into home exchange.

Whether you’re a retiree who wants to travel, a family looking for a stress-free holiday with the kids, or a business person looking for a hotel alternative, home exchange may be the right choice.
