WHAT IS A HOLIDAY EXCHANGE? An exchange of one home for another for a specific period of time with no money involved.

HOW DOES IT WORK? Obtain a free Holdiay Exchange, then you submit your listing on-line. You then conduct a search and find a home which meets your criteria or wait to see if ou are contacted from other members wishing to swap with you.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST ? Membership is availbale for 3 seperate time periods.

$15 for 30 days membership
$50 for 1 years membership
$100 for lifetime membership

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER AN EXCHANGES ? The number 1 reason: You can cut your vacation costs to a quarter.
Restaurants also account for one of the largest expenses alongside lodging and car rental. Being able to cook at home for most meals can really make a difference in a vacation budget. Spending an average of $150 USD per day this translates into an astounding $4,500 per month in restaurant bills!
Direct connection to other home exchangers via E-mail and on -line registration, makes instant home exchanges possible and eliminates the need for long term vacation planning.
The security that your home, your pets and plants are being taken care of.
Home exchanges can ease the burden of traveling with small children, especially if you do an exchange with people that have kids.

IS IT SAFE TO LEAVE MY HOME TO TOTAL STRANGERS? Our experience has been that people tend to take better care of things when they are not theirs. Most home exchangers are experienced and are professional people like yourself. You yourself choose who you want to exchange homes with based upon pictures, similar criteria and correspondence with the person. Being a guest in each other's home creates a very special bond of trust.

IS IT SAFE TO PUT MY PICTURE AND THAT OF MY HOME ON THE INTERNET? Yes, because we do not provide anyone with your address or phone number. You do so only after corresponding with the people.

CAN YOU MAKE MORE THAN ONE EXCHANGE PER YEAR? You can make as many exchanges as possible during that year.

HOW DO I MAXIMIZE MY EXCHANGE POSSIBILITIES? By being flexible. By setting your priorities on what is absolutely necessary and being flexible on the rest.
By maintaining at least 10 sets of pictures of your home and family so that you can send them in an instant to interested parties.

HOW DO I MAKE MY EXCHANGE RUN AS SMOOTHLY AS POSSIBLE? 1) You leave a list of instructions posted in a public place, for example the kitchen.
2) You leave important phone numbers like police, fire, poison control, etc., close to the phone.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T WANT MY EXCHANGE PARTNERS TO USE CERTAIN THINGS? It is best for you to remove those items you don't want to lend out.

WHAT ABOUT MY EXTREMELY VALUABLE ITEMS? It is common sense to insure valuable items and to have an inventory of all the items in your home. This is no exception.

WHAT IF THERE IS DAMAGE TO MY ANYTHING? We recommend you draw up a letter of understanding between the 2 parties that if there is anything broken or damaged, you both agree to replace the items or to pay for them.
