Relocify: housing rental in the Netherlands for expats

Relocify is an agency specialising in finding and managing rentals for expats moving to the Netherlands. Its approach focuses on enabling clients to secure housing without having to travel to the country beforehand, through virtual viewings and a dedicated agent who handles the entire process. The company claims to have assisted 1,976 expats before the current user.

How the service works

The process begins with a consultation call in which the assigned agent defines the locations, budget, number of bedrooms, and move-in date together with the client. From there, Relocify continuously reviews the rental housing inventory in the Netherlands and adds every relevant listing to a personalised feed. The agent manages the viewings, which can be virtual (with video and notes) or in person, and handles the negotiation and review of the contract. The contract can be signed online, and the company also offers support for setting up utilities and other post-move formalities.

Main services

• Personalised rental search throughout the country, including off-market offers from partner agencies.
• Virtual viewings with detailed video and, soon, also in 3D.
• In-person viewings accompanied by the agent.
• Contract review and online signing.
• Negotiation of terms with the landlord.
• Utility cost calculator per property.
• Area score and application success probabilities.
