background

You respond while the rest are still searching

A rental home in a popular city is often gone within a day. Not because the first response always wins, but because agents usually invite the first ten to twenty responders and stop reading after that. If you find out quickly that a home has come in, you're in that first group. Here's why that happens faster on Huurwoningen than through a site that passes on homes from elsewhere.

Two ways a home ends up on a website

  • The landlord lists the home themselves
    That's how Huurwoningen works. Over 1,600 agents have connected their system to ours. When an agent adds a home to their system, it appears with us. A private landlord creates their listing here directly. The moment of listing is the moment you see it.
  • A site looks for the home elsewhere
    That's how search services and subscription sites work. They scan property sites, including ours, and pass on what they find. It works, but the home is somewhere else first, and with them second. The moment other the listing is found is when you can see it.

To be fair: part of our listings we also collect from other sites, so you don't miss anything. For those homes we're just as fast as anyone else. The difference is in the homes that appear here first: those from over 1,600 connected agents and from private landlords.

How an alert reaches you

  1. You save a search: location, price, number of rooms and whatever else matters to you. You can do this with a free account.
  2. An agent or landlord lists a home that matches your search.
  3. You get an email.
  4. You see the home, see how many people already responded and respond directly to the landlord. You need Premium to respond to the listing.

Why private listings show up quickly

Private landlords list their home with us, and often only with us. Those homes aren't on other sites, and not with the search services that scan us either, until they find them here. Fewer people see them, so fewer people respond before you.

Responding fast is more than being fast

A quick response with nothing in it doesn't help much. That's why on Huurwoningen you fill in your tenant profile once and send it along with one click. The agent sees at a glance whether you fit, and you don't have to type the same story every time.

Frequently asked questions

How fast do I get notified when a home comes in?

Your alert goes out as soon as the home is on Huurwoningen. For homes from connected agents and private landlords, that's the moment of listing.

Do I get notified earlier here than with a search service?

For homes that agents and private landlords list directly with us, yes, because they're here before another site can find them. For homes we collect from other sites ourselves, the difference is small.

Do alerts work without Premium?

Yes. Saving a search and getting notified about new listings is free. Responding to the home is what you need Premium for.
