You get one of these twice a week, plus a message the same day for every viewing and offer.
How it works
Being first and being ready is what wins homes in Amsterdam. We handle both, and tell you straight which places are worth it.
A 30-minute call: budget, areas, move-in date, pets, must-haves. You get your search brief in writing.
We check every document a landlord asks for, so you can apply the minute the right place appears.
Listings checked every day, scams filtered out, viewings booked before the crowd. Not here yet? We view for you on video.
We write the offer, check the lease line by line and walk the key handover with you.
At every viewing
Listing photos are taken on the sunniest day, with the windows shut. We look at the things you'd only notice after you've signed.
Corners, bathroom, behind the furniture.
Which way it faces, the tram, the bar downstairs.
Glazing, boiler and the energy label.
Classic steep Amsterdam stairs, or a lift?
Can you register at the address? No registration, no BSN.
Service costs, deposit (max. 2 months) and what's included.

Questions
Yes. In the Netherlands a landlord's agent can't charge the tenant. HausKey works only for you, the tenant, and never takes a fee from the landlord's side for your home.
Definitely. We view the home for you on live video or with a friend of yours, and most leases are signed online. Plenty of people get their keys the week they land.
That's normal. Many agents accept an employer statement instead, and we know which ones. Just make sure you can register at the address, because that's how you get your BSN.
Most landlords want a gross monthly income of about 3 times the rent, some 4 times. A partner's income counts if they sign too. We check this on the first call, before you pay anything more than €99.
Most searches take 3 to 4 weeks. Homes on the market now usually start 2 to 4 weeks later, so start about 6 weeks before you need to move in.
Amsterdam and the commute ring: Amstelveen, Diemen, Haarlem, Zaandam and Purmerend.
If we can't get you a viewing that fits your brief within 30 days, you get your €99 back. The rest is only due when you sign a lease.
No. You pay the landlord or their agent directly, to the account named in the lease, and only after signing.
