Key Tips for Creating Your Home Listing
Important note before you begin: Please note that once your home listing is submitted, your profile cannot be edited. Take your time to complete all details carefully before submission. If you need to make changes later, you can simply select “Remove My Listing” and create a new listing with your updated information and images.
Give Your Home a Name
Start by giving your home a title that captures its personality and charm. This could be as simple as “Sunny Family Retreat” or more descriptive like “Lodge-Style Lakefront Escape”. A good name immediately sets the tone for your listing and makes it memorable to potential guests.
Location and Basic Details
Include your city, country, and continent (*without abbreviations) so other members know exactly where your home is located. Be sure to list the number of guests your home can accommodate, along with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. These basic details are essential for families or groups planning their stay.
Describe Your Home and Neighbourhood
Write a warm, informative description highlighting what makes your home special. Include amenities like pools, Wi-Fi, or play areas, and be upfront about any pets or maintenance tasks. Then, give an overview of your neighbourhood—mention nearby attractions, trails, shops, restaurants, or seasonal events that guests might enjoy. This helps visitors picture themselves not just in your home, but in the surrounding community.
Exchange Types Accepted
Let members know which types of exchanges you’re open to, including simultaneous, non-simultaneous, generosity, or hospitality exchanges. Being clear about this ensures a smooth arrangement and sets expectations for everyone involved.
House Rules
Be upfront about any limitations or rules in your home. This might include restrictions for children or babies, smoking, or pets. Clear house rules help prevent misunderstandings and make guests feel more comfortable before they arrive.

A complete feature list ensures members know exactly what to expect and helps your listing stand out.
Upload Quality Photos

Use good lighting, tidy your spaces, and highlight unique or inviting areas like bedrooms, living spaces, and outdoor amenities. High-quality images help tell your home’s story and make it irresistible to potential guests.
