Home Exchange
Popularity:
Started in 1992 by home exchange pioneer Ed Kushins, HomeExchange has become a hugely popular home swap site, listing 65,000 homes in 150+ countries.
Few, if any, businesses can compete HomeExchange for the experience in helping members swap houses. According to the website, they have already facilitated over 1,000,000 home exchanges.
The vast database of member homes offers great opportunities to exchange with various types of listings, such as houses, condos, apartments, beach houses, cabins, and villas.
HomeExchange is so confident of the effectiveness of the service that a "home exchange guarantee" is provided. If you don't do a home swap in your first year as a member, you get a second year free. Please check the site for the details.
Love Home Swap
Popularity:
With Love Home Swap, you can swap your home with thousands of amazing properties around the world – and enjoy huge savings on the cost of accommodation when you travel.
Many members love the site for two reasons.
First, the site is not only very popular in the United States, but also highly represented globally. For instance, we find over 765 homes in France and over 1006 homes in Australia, available for exchange. The abundancy of choices around the world may be especially valuable if you may plan to vacation abroad.
Second, the site offers two options to swap your house. "Direct swap" allows you directly exchange homes with another member. You can also earn "swap points", by offering home to another member, and spend them later. This option is very powerful to expand your choices.
On the website, we read lots of happy members' enthusiastic reviews. It seems the most precious aspect of LoveHomeSwap isn't the nicely designed website, the innovative functions such as "swap points", or the "helpful, experienced, and obsessive" customer support. It is the authentic, friendly, and trustful community of members.
