You live by the ocean. They reside in the mountains. You need a getaway. So do they. Enter HomeExchange. The company has been around since 1992 (long before Airbnb) and has quietly been expanding its reach — most recently across the pond with the acquisition of its UK-based competitor Love Home Swap.
Love Home Swap, founded in 2009, boasted 230,000 houses and flats in over 130 countries. HomeExchange has 150,000 plus members in 145 countries. For a fee, members can connect and arrange to stay in each other’s homes. The company says one exchange happens every two minutes — that’s a lot of swapping!
What if the member you approach isn’t interested in staying at your place but is open to hosting you at theirs? In that case, you can earn redeemable guest points — the HomeExchange currency — for future use.
In 2022, the company unveiled HomeExchange Collection, an exclusive community for travelers to meet, share and exchange their luxury homes with a value of $1.5 million or more.
These luxury abodes range from a Mediterranean villa in Spain to a stunning New York penthouse. There’s even an option to stay on a yacht.
If you appreciate the finer things in life and can offer someone else the same in return, then HomeExchange Collection is for you.
