Some users asked how they should describe their house in order to improve their chance to get a house swap they can enjoy.

Here some of the questions:

• “Should I specify every detail of my house?”
• “Should I make it seem more attractive?”
• “Do I need a spacious living room and a modern, big kitchen to find a good home to exchange?”
• “Do I necessarily need two bathrooms to exchange my house?”
• “Is it necessary to have a terrace with a beautiful sight to subscribe?”

The answer to all this questions is…

NO!

Your house is like it is and it has to remain the same in your description. Not everybody has a villa with a swimming pool, or a beautiful country house or a house surrounded by astonishing mountains and forests.

On the contrary: the majority of people has “normal” houses, comfortable but simple, sometimes small ones.              When you do a home exchange to have a simple house is not a problem, nor a defect, remember it (see also a previous post)!

The suggestion I can give you is that of telling the truth. Never lie about the state and the description of your house. A house swap is based on mutual confidence and trust and on the fact that it is an easy and economic way of travelling: the main aim is not that of spending some luxury time in a cool villa, but, instead, that of enjoying the comfort and the cheapness of a home even though on holidays (may it be in a big, touristic city or a disperse village in the mountains).
