AIRBNB HOME OWNER EXCHANGE SWAP SERVICE

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.

This is a great idea.  I have a small place in San Antonio and it’s a very popular tourist location, especially since we are less than 5 miles from the beautiful Riverwalk and revitalized Pearl Brewery area.   Let me know how I can help promote and move this forward.

Hi, My sister asked me to look into a home swap for her and her husband 06-2020 through 09-2020 in switzerland.  They have a beautiful, 3 story home in Boulder, CO with a chef kitchen, theatre room, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, outdoor dining room.  Custom furnished, walking distance to hiking, public transport and all ammenities.  BUT, most of the swapping websites that swap luxury homes charge membership fees, or "points".  They are interested in a direct swap with a comprable home in switzerland...  anyone know of a website that facilitates swaps without fees?  Anyone here know of anyone interested?  Would love if AirBnb started a swapping section.
