How much does it cost to join?
Well, nothing at all.
At the moment, there are no charges, no fees, and no costs, to join Geenee. So for the time being, there is no membership fee.
Our goal is to help new exchangers learn the process by allowing them to list their property, browse other properties and contact other members for free. And, when they find that perfect exchange, we encourage our members to take advantage of our Geenee Cover to make sure they have a secure and comfortable exchange.
Do you charge a fee when exchange contracts are established?
Do you charge this, or any other amounts, from the deposit accounts?
There is no fee for establishing an exchange contract. There is nothing taken from the deposit (is that what you mean?) – the amount of the deposit is returned in full when there is no claim to be made.
There is a charge of 99 USD for various services, which would normally be charged when two parties have agreed all the details of their exchange, and full details are at our page about Geenee cover
The advantage of Geenee cover is that all your terms and conditions of exchange are fully laid out and understood between both parties, and the deposit is held by a known third party, Geenee. We have heard of people asking for deposits on non-existent properties, so the exchanger doesn’t get their exchange, or their deposit refunded. This can’t happen if you use Geenee Cover.
Which is the amount you charge in euros? (99USD) thanks Franca Dini
The exact amount changes with the exchange rate. At the time of writing we would be charging 72.18 Euros.
You say there is no joining fee. Is it mandatory to take out Geenee cover? I have exchanged houses before and it did did not apply and the house swaps went of very well
It is not mandatory, but it is certainly recommended. With Geenee cover, you can remove any doubt at all about your exchange partner. If you think that it is worth the risk to exchange without it, we don’t mind. It’s your property, it’s your choice.
Hi,
I joined this site quite some time ago and have received my 1st enquiry. Is there any payment to be made to Geenee for arranging the swap? Or is it all free?
There is currently no charge when you arrange an exchange.
We recommend that you take out Geenee Cover, for your peace of mind and security. Geenee Cover is chargeable, but is optional.
