Property Owners What is a House Swap or Home Exchange? "You stay in my home while I stay in yours." A House Swap or Home Exchange is the vacation alternative where two families agree to swap homes for a vacation. A key element is building trust and getting to know your swap partner by email and perhaps by phone. Some people exchange photos, videos or connect via Messenger before making final arrangements. Since you will live in the other party's home their concerns likely are the same as yours. The principal of the entire concept is one of mutual respect.; It's easy and free to list your home!
