ThirdHome is a luxury second house sharing service of vacation homes. The company is based in Brentwood, Tennessee and operates worldwide.
History[edit]
ThirdHome is a US-based company 3rd Home (founded by real estate developer Wade Shealy) in 2010.,[1][2][3] with an initial portfolio of 120 properties.[4]
In 2014, the company had around 2400 properties to exchange in 70 countries.[5] By 2017, the site had about 8,000 properties.[6]
In 2017, ThirdHome ran a worldwide contest called The Best Job on the Planet, to hire a person to travel through different luxury residences in the world and share his living through different platforms.[7][8][9][10] It was inspired by The Best Job in the World campaign, and ThirdHome collaborated with the winner of the campaign for the development of the competition.[11]
Since May 2018, Thirdhome is opened to the public.[12]
Business model[edit]
ThirdHome it was conceived as a home exchange. Owners of luxury second homes apply online; if they meet certain requirements - location, characteristics of the house, home value - they become eligible for membership.[13] Each owner lists which weeks his/her house will be available for the use of other members.[14][15]
When someone is staying at their house, the owner receives credits, called keys, used to reserve weeks at any property that is available on the system,[16][17] or for stays in clubs and resorts affiliated with the company.[18] The site charges a one-time enrollment fee and a variable fee per exchange[19]
The site also rents properties to users who register on the site, without exchange.[12]
