Most of my rooms would be empty for a certain part of the year. But, thanks to HousingAnywhere, I’m always fully booked. It takes me a few hours or a maximum of 3–4 days to find a new tenant after I publish a listing on HousingAnywhere.

Blanca manages 2 apartments in the same building and started renting out one of them in 2016. After being introduced to HousingAnywhere by a tenant, Blanca quickly recognised the benefits of using the platform to optimise her rental business. She went from renting out an entire apartment to renting out individual rooms. This change had a huge positive impact, leading to higher occupancy rates and increased efficiency.

Blanca's decision to transition from renting out a whole apartment to renting out per room proved to be a game-changer. With the option to rent out individual rooms on HousingAnywhere, Blanca was able to attract more tenants, maximise her rental income, and achieve higher occupancy levels than before.

I had been renting out my whole apartment for a while. When my mother shared her knowledge about how to rent, I decided to rent out rooms. This proved to be more profitable and easier to manage.

Compared to other platforms, Blanca found that the traffic on HousingAnywhere was easier to convert into confirmed bookings. The platform's intuitive interface and top-notch customer service enabled her to convert potential tenants into actual renters with ease. This streamlined conversion not only saved her time but also ensured a steady flow of tenants for her properties.

On your platform (HousingAnywhere), it’s very easy to find tenants. Everything is very organised. If I ever need help, your team is always available.

For Blanca, it’s important to have an efficient communication flow during the rental process. After all, communicating with prospective tenants is crucial for getting to know them and establishing a relationship based on trust and understanding.

With HousingAnywhere, Blanca was able to communicate with prospective tenants conveniently. The easy-to-use messaging system allowed for quick and direct interactions, ensuring smooth, reliable, and effective communication throughout the rental journey. This improved communication flow resulted in a better tenant experience and strengthened the tenant-landlord relationship.

I feel the booking flow is much faster with the tenants that contact me on HousingAnywhere. I think it’s because they feel confident, they know who I am.

One significant benefit Blanca experienced with HousingAnywhere was the ability to attract quality tenants without the need for physical viewings. With detailed property listings and a detailed landlord profile, potential tenants could make informed decisions without requiring an in-person visit. This time-saving advantage allowed Blanca to focus on other aspects of her rental business while still attracting reliable and committed tenants.

Before I was on HousingAnywhere, many people would come to my house to see the property. After viewing the property, they say they are not sure, or they give some excuse. Most of them never contact me again.

Blanca shared her delight at the speed and efficiency with which she was able to find tenants through HousingAnywhere. The platform's vast user base and powerful search filters meant that her listings received immediate exposure to a large pool of potential tenants. As a result, Blanca often found suitable tenants within hours or, at most, within 3-4 days of listing her properties. This rapid tenant acquisition further enhanced her overall rental experience.

Like other landlords using HousingAnywhere, Blanca has benefited from the platform’s effectiveness in optimising her rental business. By leveraging HousingAnywhere, she was able to find reliable and committed tenants quickly and increase her occupancy rate. The direct messaging system, a detailed listings page, and a personal profile helped with this as she could streamline communication and rent out without doing viewings.
