Manhattan Beach, CA (April 27, 2009) – SabbaticalH…

Manhattan Beach, CA (April 27, 2009)SabbaticalHomes.com is providing new resources on its popular website.

The site has added a newsletter to better address the needs of those planning sabbaticals. This current issue contains articles on Home Exchange insurance, how to effectively check references, and a profile of this issue’s Notable Member who runs a site for international professor exchanges. Additional articles geared toward academic networking are planned for future newsletters.

“It’s so important to address the needs of this growing community. Due to budget constraints, educators often need assistance to continue their work. We are working toward anticipating the issues faced by academics and providing them with a reliable resource tool to turn to when they are planning sabbaticals,” explained Nadege Conger, founder.

The site has implemented a feedback system not offered before now. The Feedback section allows both parties of a home exchange or rental to leave comments for the membership at large to read. This feature assists future renters and tenants alike with a quick referral system as they review potential home exchange situations.

“Our goal is to have Feedback for each successful exchange. The site grows by word of mouth, and that means more professors, writers and artists are hearing about us, seeing that the idea works, and going ahead with their own home exchanges or rentals through our site,” said Conger.
