I am interested in a house swap in my immediate area.

The purpose would be to live in a larger home and to save transaction costs. Is there a service that would help?

Pete- I am assuming that you are speaking about trading a home permanently- not for a vacation like Christine's article was talking about. Am I correct?

If so, yes, you can do an exchange- I was recently working for another Real Estate Company which facilitated many home exchanges. If you would like to get more information, just give me a call and I would love to discuss the details of how it works.

Hi Pete,

I posted an article about house-swapping on my blog a few weeks ago...I think it mentions a few services that might be helpful.

Hi Pete,

Have you tried the "housing swap" section on Craigslist?

Hope that helps.
