Homesharing within reach

Homesharing is another example of the sharing economy, like ridesharing or coworking. It’s shared housing in which a homeowner chooses to live together with at least one other non-related person in exchange for rent (and sometimes, in exchange for help around the house).

Homesharing connects people who might not otherwise meet, making life more interesting and opening new avenues for conversation and community. It can also help alleviate social isolation and loneliness, improving both physical and mental health.

HomeSharing Online is a website that uses technology to match home providers and renters based on compatibility, then provides secure messaging, background screens, homesharing agreements and more. Basically, HomeSharing Online has everything you need to create a home sweet shared home.

Homesharing is for everybody! HomeShare Online has seen successful homesharing with retirees, families, young adults and even cross-generational households. The only prerequisites are a desire to earn or save money and a willingness to explore something new.

It boils down to this:
1. Home Providers fill out a profile with info about themselves, their homes and their preferences in a housemate.

2. Renters do the same, indicating what kind of home (and home providers) they’d like to live with.

3. HomeShare Online software crunches the numbers to show housemate matches based on users’ location and how well their preferences line up with others’.
