Do I need to accept an offer for a home exchange?

No!  You have no obligation to accept any offer sent to you and other home exchangers have no obligation to accept your offer.

As a person who lists their home for an exchange you are free to choose. Many of our listers receive many offers for exchange. As an example, we received over 30 offers to our listing each year. Sometimes it takes a few emails requesting further information before one can make a decision. Please be courteous and answer all inquiries. Some people wait for a response to their home exchange offer before looking elsewhere and it gives them opportunity to still find another exchange partner if you are not interested. Some of these initial contacts may very well be future home exchanges for you. Trying to find the "perfect exchange match" may reduce your chance of arranging a home exchange. Being flexible on locations, dates and accommodation will increase your chances of a good, successful trade which is all most people want.

Once you find the best match for you and your exchange is arranged, please be courteous and email back the others you have been corresponding with.
