Rental homes in the Netherlands are spread across big platforms and the websites of hundreds of letting agents. Many agents post their homes on their own site first – or only there. If you keep a search running on every site separately, you miss homes or you're too late.
- One search profile instead of an account and a saved search on every website.
- The same home listed on several sites shows up once.
- Every home links to the original listing: you reply there, with no middleman.
How to use Huurbel as your rental app
- 1Sign in with Google and pick your city or cities.
- 2Set your budget, type of home, size and must-haves (for example pets or a balcony).
- 3Choose how you want alerts: instantly by email, one daily overview, or instantly on Telegram.
