Finding a house while on sabbatical can be tedious at best.  I had a chance to sit down and talk with Nina Grigoreas, of academichomes.com, about her company's services...

WE:  Please tell us a little bit about your organization, academichomes.com...

NG:  AcademicHomes.com provides the international academic community an opportunity to exchange, rent, or buy & sell homes with other faculty,  administrators, and post-docs.

We have homes/apartments, etc., posted that are located in all over
the world. In fact, six out of the seven continents are represented (all
except Antarctica!)...

Looking for a Home: You can search our database for available apartments
& homes, home exchanges, and house sitting opportunities.

Home Owner: We will help you to sell, rent, or exchange your home, or
find a house sitter.

short-term or sabbatical visit for free! (Valid only for persons in

WE:  Are kids welcome, at some of the homes?:

NG:  Children are certainly welcome at some of the homes, although this is
certainly up to the discretion of the individual homeowner/landlord.

WE:  Is there anything else you'd like to share with us?:

NG: Here is our pricing for our ads:
