After a member return home from their vacation they may choose to act as a reference for their exchange partner. These references are listed and may display feedback written by previous exchange partners on each member's listing page. This icon on a listing shows when a member have references. If you have questions about a member, you should feel free to contact their references to ask how the exchange worked out and if they were satisfied. Yes, there is trust involved in swapping homes, but with Intervac, you can also verify.

Intervac website features
Features on Intervac website
A ficha da sua casa permite-lhe apresentar uma grande quantidade de informações sobre a sua casa e arredores. Para conseguir as melhores trocas de casa é essencial promover a sua casa e sua área, indicando com precisão onde se localiza e o que tem para oferecer. Quanto mais informações você dê através de imagens e texto, mais ajudará outros membros a decidir que a sua oferta é exatamente o que eles estão a procurar.
Fotos e descrição em texto
Com o Intervac pode colocar até vinte fotos e escrever (sem quaisquer limites!) texto descritivo nas secções: Casa, Família, Estilo de vida e Vizinhança. Deve escrever na língua que se adequar aos membros com quem gostaria de trocar, pois se escrever só em Português só os membros que falam a nossa língua irão compreender a sua descrição. É tudo muito fácil de fazer e se tiver alguma dúvida pode sempre contactar o seu representante nacional.
A map of surroundings
Cada ficha tem um mapa Google (opcional) para que os seus potenciais parceiros de troca tenham uma visão sobre o que a zona onde sua casa está localizada tem para oferecer.
Pesquisando a troca de casa ideal
- País
- Cidade ou região
- Datas de troca ou duração da estadia
- Capacidade da casa (quantas pessoas podem dormir)
- Guests
- qualquer combinação das anteriores... e muito mais!
