AIRBNB HOME OWNER EXCHANGE SWAP SERVICE

[Diana-And-Don0]

In my opinion, we are probably a huge community of owners in many countries that would like to be able to swap homes. I for one would like to go to Eastern Europe, spend more time in France, Souther Spain, Scotland, Ireland,  etc... I am willing to bet that 

the owners there would consider sawaping  to spend some time under the sun here in the dominican Republic.

AIRBNB should offer us this service. 

It should enable us to offer our properties on an exchange basis. Like the home exchange website each owner can list the countries, regions, cities where they would like to visit and offer and offer an exchange with other owners. Of course certain rules would need to be applied.

- The swaps valid only  owner to owner (eventually family members that would need to be vetted and join the community).

- AIRBNB would charge a "service fee" for services rendered.  This fee to be charged to ensure that exchanges are guarantied ....

 - One just needs to go the Home Exchange website and see how it works  except with AIRBNB.

Let's motivate AIRBNB to offer this service, the choice of hundreds of thousands of homes out there are just waiting to be swapped.

1. I live in Loudoun County, VA, the Washington, DC suburbs. It’s beautiful, lots of wineries, microbreweries, metro to DC, mountains and beach within 3 hours. I have a 4 bedroom 3 1/2 bath townhome in Ashburn, VA. I would love to try a swap!

This is an excellent idea, did it ever take off? We have a Airbnb in the Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides that we would like to do a swap with this August.

I absolutely love this idea. I arrived at your post because I was looking to see if there were any regulations/ policies in place regarding home-swapping. Hopefully this gains some traction so that the Airbnb bots will take notice.

I would be willing to swap my Jackson Hole Home for a Beach destination like Hawaii.

[Paul-and-Amanda2]

We think this really is a great idea. We would absolutely love to swap our Airbnb for an exchange in Toronto or Burlington in Canada .

Hello!

I love the idea. This is exactly what I'm looking for!

I'm planning to spend about 9 months somewhere in Portugal with husband and two school age kids. I own 3 Airbnb's in Portland, OR and looking for a host to live in my place and manage the Airbnb's while I'm abroad. Exchange of hosting services plus housing is what ideally I'm looking for, but open for other options.

Thank you!
