We love home exchange and have enjoyed many successful exchanges. I purchased with Diamante to get access to third home and from what I understand I need to exchange my one week at Diamante to get 2 years access to third home with keyless travel within 30 days. They used to advertise as the AirBnB for luxury homes. However, I cannot imagine I would ever want to enroll my second home in AirBnB and have strangers potentially ruin it.

MVCI Presidential and above can use points to reserve homes. I was looking at some last night and I saw a number of homes priced similarly to say a Hawaii week, or less. Looked pretty good for what I saw, but was going to re-look when I get back to the states. However, I just began to take notice of a site called Thirdhome. It looks like they have a very nice collection of luxury properties.
Unlike US Bank and Citizens Bank, Third Federal does not give you the option to lock the interest rate on home equity loans. As with the majority of home equity loans, borrowers can take up to 30 years to pay back a loan, but do check the website for Third Federal’s draw period for HELOCs. A draw period is the amount of time during which you can pull money against the HELOC amount. Also discuss with your loan officer the maintenance fees and minimum payments for HELOCs, as applicable.
About ThirdHome
After the first year there is a commission for rentals. The rental service also includes listings for properties not included in the exchange network. Shealy says "this 'buy as you fly' model give customers complete flexibility." I’ve heard that ThirdHome waves the $2500 membership fee for a lot of reasons, but I’ve never applied for membership so I can’t confirm that first hand. Members can also opt for a higher level of service by paying an annual membership fee.
Third Federal has some of the lowest rates of the lenders we reviewed, making it a bank to consider if it offers loans in your state. Compare the rates of multiple lenders at LendingTree. Third Federal offers home equity loans and home equity lines of credit when you use your primary residence as collateral. She charged a cleaning fee of 25 euros and complained that we didn't leave the place clean. We slept there only twice, didn't even cook and eat there. And yes, we didn't clean super shinny before leaving, because of the cleaning fee, but it wasn't dirty.

Perhaps they will be an acquisition target by AirBnB at some point. Third Home started as a luxury home exchange service catering to affluent 2nd home-owners. The company recognized that many luxury homeowners never utilized their second homes fully and often sold their properties after just a few years. ThirdHome offers house swap insurance for their members. This is called the Host Assurance Planand it provides up to $5,000 of coverage for members not paying for premium service. Property rental – home exchange members can also offer their properties for rental.
We are already part of Registry Collection and Elite Alliance and others for exchanges. Which is why I was sort of made to be a single mom—a longer story for another time. But suffice it to say that there's very little I can't handle.
I have a nice home and I started by using it for the homexchange website. But then I discovered that I would rather exchange my timeshare or my hotel points. I have made some nice exchanges, but it really does require a lot of inquiries to set up. I am making good money, but my area near Washington DC are being restricted by county/city rules. This year, I am required to pay a tax and I am limited to the number of nights and people that can rent my home.
Karen Tina Harrison is a New York City-based lifestyle journalist who has covered travel since the last millennium. We contacted the Vida sales rep and he assured us that the folks we talked to were "idiots" and that this was a deal between him and "Dan", the CEO. Dan sent us an email detailing what we needed to do to get a contract going, but no numbers, no details about the deal as we had requested. We got cold feet in spite of continued reassurances from our sales rep that this was real and we were going to miss out on something huge. Be sure to investigate thoroughly what their restrictions are.
This is called theHost Assurance Planand it provides up to $5,000 of coverage for members not paying for premium service. Those paying an annual fee for higher levels of service can get up to $10k or $15k in coverage. I was looking through Third Home's website and recent news. It looks like they are expanding into the rental business - they just made a major announcement about this and it is featured on their website. It sounds like they are promoting price and cost effectiveness more now.
My first six months with my wonderful daughter Hazel has been mostly pleasure, little pain. Upon arrival at the home you have booked, the property manager will normally greet you and provide a tour. There will also be information provided on how everything works for you to feel right at home. Reviews from members are overwhelmingly positive. The process of booking your stay is seamless, and you can stay at a huge amount of available properties for as little as 4 keys.
I have been using HE for nearly 15 years and found their website and process very easy to manage and their support team also very good. If you are considering exchanging your home - then I personally can highly recommend Home Exchange. Aside minor breakages we have never had any issues, either with the website, or during our exchanges. Please address this problem because we do love home exchange. We are happy with home exchange but our problem was not solved. The ONLY drawback is the UX of the site can feel a little clunky sometimes.
