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 — whether that’s 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. Your first 4 listings are free.

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 will surface 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.

Basic listings on GoSwap.org are free (for 5+ listings a small 4 credit fee).

Optional premium features are available for an additional fee, including featured listings, promotional upgrades, additional photos and videos, AI-powered tools, swap proposal features, document preparation, electronic signing, and other enhanced services.

Users may earn GoSwap Credits by sharing their listings and referring visitors to GoSwap.org. Currently, one (1) GoSwap Credit has an equivalent value of $0.50. Depending on referral activity, many users may significantly reduce or even eliminate their platform costs, so trading could be completed FREE!

For completed swaps, a flat platform fee of 500 GoSwap Credits ($250 equivalent) per party will apply. This fee helps support platform development, document preparation, transaction tools, future payment and escrow integrations, and other services that make asset trading easier and more secure.

GoSwap.org does not charge a commission on trades. Our fees are flat and are not based on 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 fees, not 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.

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.

Platform fees and credits used for listing exposure, promotions, or document preparation are non-refundable since those services were already delivered. But 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.
