HOMEBOY is the breakthrough in the search for flats in Germany. Our property bots search the largest property portals for you at the same time and forward new flat listings to you by email or WhatsApp as soon as they are uploaded to a property platform. To create a search profile, you can create a free account on our website.

To be successful in your flat search, you must fulfil three criteria:

1. Apply to as many listings as you can because demand always exceeds supply.

2. You must apply quickly, as landlords always process the fastest applicants first and invite them to viewings.

3. You need a complete and attractive application portfolio so that landlords can see how well you fit the flat.

HOMEBOY optimises points 1 and 2 for you and we are also happy to help you with point 3. Our property bot filters and forwards you all flat offers from all portals that match your search criteria. You will also see every new listing without delay so that you are always among the first applicants.

The result: HOMEBOY users find their flat in 6 weeks on average, have 3-5 times more flat viewings and save 90% of their time looking for a flat.

HOMEBOY is a simple web app. If you want to start your flat search with HOMEBOY, simply follow the steps below:

1. Create an account at www.homeboy.immo/en. Once you have registered, your free 7-day trial will start automatically.

2. Create a search profile and manage your search settings so that we know exactly which flats we should forward to you

3. Confirm your email address and / or telephone number so that we can start sending you flat offers. For the email confirmation, simply wait for the confirmation email and click on the link. For the phone number confirmation you should receive a welcome message from HOMEBOY. Follow the instructions and write "START" in the chat to confirm the receipt of offers.

Now you receive the newest flat offers according to your search profile.

You can go into your account at any time to customise your searches or manage your subscription.

Of course, you can never promise anything when looking for a flat. Every market, landlord and applicant is different. But: HOMEBOY users find their flat on average in 6 weeks instead of 6 months, have 3-5 times more viewings and save 90% of their time looking for a flat. We give you the right tools to find a new home as quickly as possible.

But this also depends on you. Only if you always respond quickly to new housing offers can you really make the most of the time advantage in the application process.

HOMEBOY gives you a clear competitive advantage in the housing market, because our service allows you to see almost every flat advertised on the Internet and you will always be one of the first applicants for every flat if you want to be. Then it just depends on the quality of your application portfolio.

In each search profile, you can specify the city/district, rental price, living space, number of rooms and radius. You can also search for houses or properties for sale in general. Additional filters in the settings allow you to selectively show or hide short-term, premium, WBS and shared flats.

Open the flat offer immediately, use the platform's contact button and send your complete application via the platform. Speed is crucial - the first applicants almost always get the viewing appointments. A little tip: create an account on all major property platforms so that once a suitable flat comes in, you can send your application immediately.

Apart from the subscription price (from €16.33 / month), should you have bought one, there are no fees on our part.

As usual, you will have to pay a deposit, any estate agent's commission and removal or furnishing costs for the flat itself; HOMEBOY does not charge any extra fees for this and expressly advertises ‘no hidden costs’.

However, we recommend creating a paid premium account on the largest property portals, as this further increases your chances.

You can activate or hide these categories separately in the search settings. Otherwise, HOMEBOY treats them like any other advert and forwards them in real time. Exchange flats are not displayed at all. At HOMEBOY, we make sure that only adverts that match the actual search criteria are forwarded.

HOMEBOY currently searches Immobilienscout24, Immowelt, Kleinanzeigen, WG-Gesucht, Immonet, Quoka and eBay - a total of eight major sources. Your favourite source is missing? Then write to us: support@homeboy.immo

Each subscription includes up to four search profiles and four email recipients - so you can create a search profile for each WG member. However, you can only store one phone number for WhatsApp forwarding.

We only take you ’to the door", but you still have to apply yourself. We will send you the listings with general information and a link to the relevant platform. There you contact the property owner or agent.

We recommend that you create and complete a full profile on each property portal you are considering in advance. The better prepared your profile is, the quicker you can apply for your dream flat and the better your chances of being accepted.
