HOMESHARE HUB™️ PARTNERS
My husband and I began sharing our 3,000-square-foot home a few months after we bought it in 1986, and we have continued to homeshare since then. We wanted to provide affordable housing for itinerant journalists and other folks, as well as speed up our mortgage payoff. It worked!
Over years of homesharing, we’ve met dozens of interesting people, many of whom remain our friends today. Among them are a Chinese geology research scientist (now back home in Beijing), a paraplegic who showed us what independence means, and a man who planted our fruit orchard while living here and now tends it as a contractor. We’ve improved our communication skills, our understanding of human nature and our bank account, all at the same time.
