Success Stories

"My wife had just let me know I was going to be a dad of Triplets! I needed something larger than what I had fast. The only problem is how cash poor I was. I had little money for a down payment and closing costs. I found plenty of options on Swap and worked out a deal with one of the houses, covering my closing costs and giving me a little cash back. Paid through Title at the close of escrow, I was able to make this happen with a no money down loan! I ended up with a great house and extra money in the bank!"

"My wife recently passed and I was left with a house that was filled with fond memories, but no longer suited my needs. With your site I was able to find another couple right in my own retirement community who needed something bigger due to their grandchildren staying all the time. Unfortunately for us there was a newer community being built nearby, making our older homes hard to sell. Swap Your House really helped us both out and saved me a lot of unnecessary heartache, time, and money!"

"Another investor I found on your site and I needed to get a little cash flow to cover the negative cash flow on our investments. We ended up buying each other's houses through Swap Your House. I was able to save myself about $70,000 in the sale on each of these, even after closing costs and down payments on the new ones. I ended up with a lot of extra cash that should carry me another 4-5 years until the market hopefully picks up."

"I am an investor that had a problem: I had a home I bought on speculation. It was too big and expensive to produce a positive cash flow. I found a family on SWAP that was needing something bigger. We bought each other's home and received the cash difference through the title company. I have positive cash flow AND made money on my first investment at the same time!"

"I had a multimillion dollar custom home that would not sell in this slow market... I built another in the same area. Not wanting a second home in the same area, I decided to see if anyone may be looking to move either from the mountains or coast to Las Vegas, where I lived at the time. We were able to make a Swap with someone from Malibu. Now we have a second home on the beach!"

"I am a builder who had just finished my first custom home. The market is slow and did not want to sell in a down market. I needed some way of selling this home at full market value as all my savings had been eaten up in this investment. I was able to Swap houses with another builder; each at full cash value! I made a great sum of money that I used to float myself until the market picked back up. My builder friend did the same thing but decided to move in to the one I built. I guess he liked it!"
