Frequently Asked Questions

GoSwap.org is a multi-category permanent asset trading marketplace established in 2006. We connect people who want to swap what they have for what they want: real estate, vehicles, boats, aircraft, businesses, or professional services.

The process is simple: create a listing, set your swap preferences, browse your matches or search other listings, then message, propose a swap, negotiate, and close the deal. New members start with 20 free credits, enough to list an asset, send swap proposals, and reach closing at no cost.

Absolutely. GoSwap.org is built for cross-category trading. You can list a house and say you’d accept a boat, a business, a car, or even professional services in return, and our matching system surfaces relevant listings for you.

GoSwap covers real estate (houses, land, condos, timeshares), vehicles, RVs, boats, aircraft, businesses, professional services valued over $5,000, and more. If you have something of value, there’s likely someone on GoSwap who wants it.

Getting started is free. Every new member receives 20 GoSwap Credits (a $10 value) the moment they sign up. That’s enough to create a listing, send swap proposals, and reach closing, and most members can do this for up to 4 complete swaps without spending a cent.

Credits keep GoSwap simple and commission-free. Creating a listing uses 4 credits, and a swap proposal uses just 1 credit, which covers all the back-and-forth messages inside that proposal. Optional AI-powered tools use 1 credit, and standalone direct messages use 2 credits each. That’s it: no percentage fees, no surprises.

Closing a completed swap (including Letter of Intent and document preparation) is currently free as part of a limited-time launch promotion. Any platform fee that applies in the future will always be a flat amount, never a commission based on your asset’s value.

You can also earn more credits by sharing your listings and referring others to GoSwap. One (1) GoSwap Credit is worth $0.50, and active members often earn back enough to keep trading completely free.

GoSwap.org does not charge a commission on trades. Our fees are always flat and never a percentage of the asset value.

Fees, credit values, rewards, and services are subject to change. Please visit the Pricing page for current details or contact us with any questions.

No commissions, ever. GoSwap.org charges flat credit costs, never a percentage of your asset’s value. We’re a marketplace platform, not a broker.

Our job is to connect you with the right swap partner. Once you’ve found a match, you negotiate directly, and when you’re ready to close, GoSwap can help with tools like a Letter of Intent and document preparation to move things forward. Currently free during our launch promotion.

No, you can list an asset even if there’s an existing loan or lien on it. Just make sure your listing accurately reflects the asset’s situation.

When two parties agree on a swap, the closing process (handled outside GoSwap) typically takes care of any outstanding balances, payoffs, or title transfers. GoSwap will provide a list of trusted third-party services our users have successfully worked with to help close their deals.

No problem, your listing stays active and you can keep searching for the right match. Deals fall through sometimes, and GoSwap is here to help you find the next opportunity.

Credits you’ve already spent on listings, promotions, or premium tools aren’t refundable, since those services were already delivered. But your listing stays live and you’re always free to keep trading on the platform.

Simply list your property, browse other listings, negotiate terms, and agree on any cash difference between the assets. Once both parties are ready, the transaction is completed through normal closing procedures.

Many swaps are structured as two simultaneous purchases, allowing both parties to move directly into their new properties.

Absolutely. GoSwap specializes in cross-category asset exchanges. A house can be traded for land, a boat, an RV, a business, multiple vehicles, or combinations of assets plus cash.

Because values rarely match perfectly, parties can include cash or additional assets to create a fair deal.

Yes. In most jurisdictions, a property exchange is simply two coordinated transactions. Buyers and sellers still use inspections, title companies, attorneys, lenders, and escrow services to complete the transfer.

GoSwap provides the marketplace to connect traders, while licensed professionals can assist with closing and documentation.

Most swaps are not equal in value. Parties often add cash, financing, multiple assets, or seller financing to bridge the difference.

For example, someone may trade a $900,000 house for a $750,000 property plus $150,000 cash, or exchange a house for land and a boat together.

Vacation home exchange sites focus on temporary stays. GoSwap.org focuses on permanent asset trades and ownership transfers.

Members exchange houses, land, vehicles, boats, aircraft, businesses, and other assets with the goal of permanently changing ownership.
