Why long term house swap?
vHouzz is reimagining house search by connecting homeowners for long-term house swap, people can live at their dream locations for an enjoyable life. It is a new way for homeowners to find a place without selling their existing home and buy a new house at a new location. Buying and selling a house is costly, time consuming, exhausting and sometimes risky. Homeowners can find a house at their dream location when it is time to relocate because of a change in job, working remote from anywhere or retire etc. With a house match, homeowners can swap their houses for long term with confidence because homeowners carry the same responsibilities over house care.
