Long-term home exchange for a job relocation
Moving city for work? Swap your home for another homeowner's place — for several months, the length of your assignment.
A relocation shouldn't force you to sell
Every year, thousands of homeowners are relocated to another city and face the same dilemma: sell a home they love, rent it to a stranger, or pay for two places at once. Long-Exchange offers a fourth option: swap your home with another mobile homeowner, for the exact length of your assignment. You keep your property, you're housed where you arrive, and neither side pays the other rent.
The housing headache of relocating
Finding a home in a city where you know no one, with a remote application and tight deadlines, is one of the biggest stressors of a work relocation. Medium-term furnished rentals are scarce and expensive, and selling then re-buying costs tens of thousands in fees. Meanwhile, your current home sits empty or rents at a loss.
Long-term exchange between homeowners
Long-Exchange connects homeowners who change cities for work. You list your home, find someone making the opposite move — or who specifically wants your city — and swap for the length of your assignment. Unlike tourist home exchange, ours last months, not weekends. No rent changes hands: each side occupies the other's home.

Frequently asked questions
How long can a relocation exchange last?
There is no limit: our exchanges are built for the long term, from a few months to several years, depending on your assignment. That's the key difference from tourist home exchange.
Do I have to swap with someone relocating in exactly the opposite direction?
No. The exchange can be reciprocal (you take their city, they take yours) or non-simultaneous depending on available profiles. You filter listings by city and dates to find the combination that fits your move.
Is it better value than a medium-term furnished rental?
With an exchange, neither homeowner pays rent: you simply occupy the other home. Over a multi-month assignment, the savings run into thousands compared with a medium-term furnished rental.
How much does Long-Exchange cost?
A one-time 99 € payment gives lifetime access to matching. No monthly subscription, no commission on the exchange, unlike subscription-based tourist platforms.
