I say "unfortunately" because said housing market has become a massive trainwreck. Rental scraper services like this one are the only way to even stand a chance of finding a place to live. They weren't nearly as needed pre-covid. Rentbird is effectively a pay-to-win service that provides a band-aid solution for a much larger systemic problem. A great service at that, especially if you set up the search filters properly and personalize your response letter. Still, I would much rather see the systemic problem solved instead. Maybe when pigs fly around the Dutch government buildings...
I don't know how we would have found a home in this crazy housing market without Rentbird. It is a tough market out there, we had a listing stop accepting viewings within 15 minutes! But with Rentbird, we were able to keep on top of all the latest listings, waiting for them to come to us, instead of panic refreshing every real estate website. I don't want to make finding a home sound easy, it is not. Even with Rentbird it felt like a full-time job at points, but Rentbird gives you the piece of mind that something is searching for you while you can still have a life.
I recieved many daily updates on houses, much more than other websites, and it helped us with knowing what was out there and getting on viewing lists before others. I would defintely use Rentbird again!
Rentbird was really useful and gets you into viewings fast! It sends you multiple options for which you can apply immediately. I was not as stressed to find renting because of Rentbird.
Rentbird has helped us find all of our viewings and be on time with all the responses. It's great tool to look for houses! I would a 100% recommend the subscription.
We received houses daily and faster than the other websites newsletters! After 2 weeks we found a house that suits us quite nicely. It was only possible because rent bird helps with fast responses to listings.
I was sceptical at first but within two weeks of searching with Rentbird, I scored a place. I highly would recommend to give it a chance.
Although I didn’t find my apartment via Rentbird I did find it a cool helpful site and sure I would have been successful this way. I would be a returning customer.
Finding a home in Amsterdam is HARD. However, with Rentbird everything got so much more easier! It's impossible for anyone to stay clued to your laptop looking through ads at all the sites available. The WhatsApp push notifications were KEY to finding a place in Amsterdam as it made it possible to respond to relevant ads on the go in no time. In this way I got in front of the queue and managed to secure multiple viewings I wouldn't have otherwise, and I finally found a place after only 25 days :)!
This was my 3rd time house hunting in NL and I thought I could do it myself. After 2 unsuccessful months browsing the same sites I signed up for Rentbird, entered my parameters and waited a few hours. I got 3 invitations to viewings and 1 x offer within 2 weeks. I would not have stumbled across my new realtor using my usual search terms. Perfect service. Highly recommend.
I like the website and the concept behind it. Finding house in NL is like a marathon and you need to save your energy. Rent bird helped me to save my energy and focus on what I wanted.
It’s incredible fast. It happened more than once that I received the message from rentbird about an apartment and I called the real state which was surprised how fast I called because they had just published the apartment
Amazing Tools, Once i subscribed, I started getting instant alerts for the expected properties as per my requirement and budget, once the properties become available online. WhatsApp alerts works like a charm. Best service to enroll if you are planning to find quick accommodation in Netherlands.
Many properties were sent to my phone, however they were a bit delayed some times
