One or two web sites operate on a basis points, which means that if you have received a change (or offered a fixed date) you get points that can be "spent" on a home listed on the website for your holiday . Sites that offer points usually holiday list making it much easier to actually get a change. The site organizes the exchange and you pay an exchange fee for which is usually less than 10% of the value of the exchange or sometimes it is a fixed rate. This works well for a longer stay, but not so good for a short stay or a long weekend.
But most exchange or sharing sites focus on the list of goods and it is up to you to ensure that all private negotiation, coordination and arrangement. The best way to get a vacation exchange is going to exchange receives offer - you can always reach your destination.
Sometimes it may be easier to exchange with a retired or senior accomplish when not so limited by time, but are often limited by travel can be so difficult to get a change if the distances are great.
Some sites offer contracts for the exchange, but remember that if you are traveling abroad, it is not enforceable if something goes wrong and different, but related to the courts - always expensive. It is much better to try to develop a relationship after a contact on Skype or by phone and email to talk. Rare is the theft of your home, but it happened to lock valuables or lock chambers really important that you do not want to use. Once I had all my software and a computer bag stolen from the house. In order to provide the keys to the house, if you have a good relationship with a neighbor or a relative in the neighborhood can be a solution. Some people following keys by registered letter and others in a safe key combination on your property. Keys can be left at home when you go exchangers.
A mistake early changers make is that when exchange arranged for a bigger house than his own, think they can bring their friends and family too. If you are offering a room for 4 people to say, why do you think that taking 8 people to a bigger house than yours is ethical? If you want to do, you should ask the owner. It can be good, but the main thing people are interested in an exchange is the target and that the house will be comfortable enough for a holiday. Usually people are not interested in the fact that his house has been renovated to the hilt. Because it's your house you can focus and you can be proud of, but it can also make other people if it were just a simple house to offer clean and comfortable, so you can not contact you if there are other houses available at your destination.
However, the most common mistake that potential home exchangers to the list your house for the exchange no photos of themselves or wrong with your phone to take. Nobody is going to respond to a company that only the location and virtually silent.
Last but not least is to consider what you will do if you remove the exchange changer. Maybe a family emergency. Sometimes people are so inconsiderate and simply change your mind. Sometimes a heat exchanger that can not come to you, anyway going to host at home if you know how hard it can be a cancellation. With a point-based site is less likely to occur, but there are usually less homes to exchange points based on websites, since usually only based on second homes.
