Rental home exchange listing site

Post by Londoner »

Anybody list their home/holiday home on a listing site. I am interested in doing this but would like to know which one to use or indeed avoid.
Thanks

I list mine on http://www.exchangeholidayhomes.com/
They're gradually adding more and more properties and have a good booking system. I have managed to get a swap at two of my 3 properties so far.

We use www.homeexchange.com and www.homeforexchange.com. If you pm me with your email address I can send you a voucher for three months free membership for the second club. The first club is offering a free three months exchange to any member of another exchange club - not sure if you can set up your listing (using the voucher) for the second club and then use that to get free membership with the first?

We've done 10+ exchanges so happy to answer questions.

It is better to remain quiet and have one think you are stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt....

The biggest mistake we make in life is thinking we have time.

The gift voucher for introductory membership to www.homeforexchange.com is for 40days not three months (I think they revised their offer). However, http://www.homebase-hols.com/ are offering a similar deal to www.homeexchange.com - three months membership for £1 to anyone who is a member of another swap club.

A useful resource on homeexchange websites / clubs is www.knowyourtrade.com. This site lists all swap clubs and gives percentages of members in each country (useful if you're looking for a swap in a particular region). It also lists specialist clubs - for those who want to exchange with others of the same faith, sexual orientation, background, profession etc). It also includes independent reviews of each club.

Very impressed with www.homebase-hols.com.
Joined them about 6 weeks ago and have arranged 2 exchanges with enquiries from plenty more.
I like it because it is straightforward - a yearly fee (about £29 for 1 or £39 for 2 years) and no points or banking system.
You just contact someone direct if you fancy an exchange with them.
What I like is that a lot of the properties are 2nd homes so exchanges dont have to be simultaneous.

we too use home for exchange - we have done 3 swaps so far, all very successful, but we constantly get enquiries for peak season, or for 6 month swaps in some far flung part of the world - even though it says on our listing that we can't do either . . .
