Love Home Swap

LoveHomeSwap.com is a homeswapping exchange that uses social media to assist in finding vacation exchanges worldwide.

LoveHomeSwap.com has combined a proven demand for homeswapping with social media to create a global reach for a segment of the market that wants to explore living like a local as a holiday travel concept and save on the cost of vacations.

The formula has been in existence in an unorganised way for decades and what Love Home Swap bring to the table is a series of new innovations that address the traditional barriers to adoption namely a network with a global reach, trust tools that link you through Facebook to potential swappers and verify identities of those outside your group and a subscription model that disrupts existing providers and holiday rental players.

Love Home Swap covers the market for quality and luxury properties and facilitates thousands of swaps per annum and is doubling in size every three months driven by the global economic situation where every family has the potential to halve the cost of their next holiday.
