Oh dear, yet again with newcomers visiting the ExchangeHomes.com web site I find myself having to explain the difference between join and expiration dates versus requested home exchange dates.
Since I started this home exchange blog, I believe this is the third time I’ve written a post dedicated to the subject of published dates, but unfortunately […]

Today I continue with an ongoing series of posts covering all the major features included in our pending ExchangeHomes.com web site upgrade.
Today I will concentrate on how your photographs will be displayed on the new web site—
Currently, members are limited to a maximum of six photographs. The new web site will have no limit. Members can […]

I heard this week from a somewhat disgruntled member from the US who had returned recently from an exchange with a family in the UK. He was delighted with the home he and his family had exchanged with, but he had been horrified when he climbed into the exchange car and discovered it was equipped […]

Home Exchange vacationing has been around for in excess of half a century and during that time, countless businesses have sprung up, eager to reap a living from promoting the concept.
A few have weathered the trials of time and still remain today, but the vast majority has fallen by the wayside, although quickly replaced by […]

It’s becoming increasingly noticeable that the travel aspirations of many of our US members, both new and long standing, are shifting. The chronic fall in value of the US dollar against both the pound and euro has suddenly made it necessary for members to look closer to home for home exchanges.
Unfortunately it doesn’t end there. […]

At the moment there is an ongoing widespread discussion on some of the home exchange blogs about the questionable fact where many companies are turning a blind eye to owners of rentals who enroll their properties under the guise of being for home exchange, when nothing could be further from the truth.
The situation isn’t helped […]

The inaugural Capture the Crown Contest, run by the Home Exchange Queen and Know Your Trade closed on June 15th and I’ve been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to direct visitors to the winner’s listing on the ExchangeHomes.Com web site.
Unfortunately, the person the Queen selected as the winner took so long to reply to her initial […]

A great many people who home exchange are sports fans. Consequently, if the home you are offering to swap is located within easy reach of any sports venue, make sure you include this information in your listing.
The possibilities are virtually endless. Horse racing fans would love to participate in a home exchange which allowed them […]

Yesterday I came across an article someone had posted on the Internet listing every possible home exchange company he could find. Many of the companies he included remain as household names in the home exchange community, but an unprecedented number were names I remembered hearing of over the years, then just as quickly forgetting, and […]

As I advise members all the time, offering to exchange the family car as part of the home exchange deal is one of the best incentives you can include. Car rentals are currently very expensive - on a recent trip to the UK my husband paid more to rent a car than he did for […]

We have been hearing again from disappointed members who send out exchange offers but fail to receive any sort of a response. This is a continuing gripe being dealt with by all the home exchange companies as well as the blogs devoted to home exchanging. The excellent blog Home Exchange Travels opened this Wednesday’s post […]

This is a follow-up to my earlier post warning home exchange members to be vigilant and check their spam folders for legitimate emails mis-routed by their ISP.
