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
Je kan online heel wat informatie opgeven over je huis en de omgeving. Om je aanbod optimaal te laten renderen is het belangrijk om je huis en zijn omgeving aan te prijzen. Je moet aangeven wat je woonomgeving te bieden heeft en hoe je ze kan bereiken. Hoe meer informatie je kan bieden in de vorm van tekst en foto's hoe aantrekkelijker je aanbod zal zijn en hoe meer kans andere leden overtuigd zullen zijn dat jouw aanbod exact dat is wat ze zoeken.
Foto's en beschrijvende tekst
Intervac voorziet de mogelijkheid om tot twintig extra foto's op te laden. Je kan (onbeperkt) beschrijvende tekst opnemen onder de hoofding: mijn woning, familie, lifestyle en omgeving. Meertalige leden plaatsen vaak omschrijvingen in verschillende talen om de slaagkansen te verhogen bij het zoeken op basis van trefwoorden. Op basis van de hulptekst op deze site is dit eenvoudig om te doen. Bovendien zal je Intervac organisator je ook hierbij graag helpen.
A map of surroundings
Elke aanbieding heeft een Google kaart zodat de potentiele ruilpartners een goed beeld kunnen krijgen van de omgeving waar je woont. De markeerder is zodanig ingesteld dat de plaats van je woning niet helemaal precies wordt weergegeven. Indien je dat wenst kan je de plaats wijzigen door gebruik te maken van lengte- en breedtegraad.
