About Our Founder

Ed Kushins
Founder & CEO

Ed was a US Navy Submarine Officer and successful entrepreneur including Founder and former CEO of HomeExchange.com, the pioneering company of the sharing economy.

Soon after selling HomeExchange in 2017, Ed saw the opportunity for blending owning and sharing to allow millions of families to realize their dream of owning a vacation home, which became the vision for Vacation Property Partners. He’s looking forward to creating another community based on trust and an easy to use website that really changes people’s lives for the better.

Ed is an active member of Rotary International and a longtime supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project. When he’s not roaming the globe with his wife, Terry, he remains active by hiking, swimming and golfing. They live in Hermosa Beach, California
