--- title: "About us: rental search for internationals | Relocify" description: "Relocify finds, views and secures rentals in the Netherlands for internationals, often before they arrive. 2,000+ expats housed, 4.9/5 in Google reviews." url: "https://www.relocify.nl/about" --- # About Relocify Relocify is a [rental search service](https://www.relocify.nl/) that finds, views and secures homes in the Netherlands for internationals moving here, often before they arrive. More than 2,000 expats have rented through Relocify since 2021, and customers rate it 4.9 out of 5 in [Google reviews](https://g.page/r/CeWmDrT5qidqEB0). Customers who started a search in 2026 signed a contract a median 30 days later. ## What Relocify does Five services, from a full search run by an agent to a feed you work through yourself. ### Assisted rental search (Plus and Premium) A dedicated agent sets up your search on a short call, sends matching rentals into your app feed and submits offers on the homes you want. Plus covers up to 10 viewings, Premium unlimited viewings with curated matches. You pay a down payment to start and the rest only when you sign; check [up-to-date prices on the pricing page](https://www.relocify.nl/pricing). ### Virtual viewings A Relocify presenter attends the viewing in person and records it on video, talking through the home as they go. You watch it from wherever you are, so you can [rent in the Netherlands from abroad](https://www.relocify.nl/location/netherlands) before you land. ### Relocify Alerts Alerts puts every rental on the Dutch market into one feed, merged from 20 portals, and alerts you the moment a match appears. You contact the landlord yourself. [Relocify Alerts](https://www.relocify.nl/alerts) costs EUR 29 a month or EUR 59 for a year, no down payment and no success fee. ### Employee housing for companies HR invites a new hire with one click and the hire gets the same consultation call and agent as any customer. Questions go to the agent, not HR's inbox. Over 200 HR teams use it, spending about 20 minutes a month on [employee housing](https://www.relocify.nl/companies). ### Contract review, check-in and utilities Before you sign, your agent reviews the contract and flags clauses that favour the landlord. At check-in the home is inspected with you. Utilities contracts are set up after a 10 to 15 minute call. ## What makes Relocify different Compared with a traditional rental agent, six things work differently. ### One fixed fee, whatever the rent A traditional rental agent charges one month's rent plus 21% VAT, about EUR 2,300 for an average Amsterdam flat. Relocify Plus is EUR 2,250 whether the home rents for 1,500 or 3,000. You can [check the current prices](https://www.relocify.nl/pricing) before you talk to anyone. ### Every portal at once A one-on-one agent searches Pararius and Funda by hand and sends links over WhatsApp. Relocify merges 20 portals into one feed, about 4,000 new private-sector rentals a month, and alerts you the moment a match appears. On a market where viewing slots fill in 15 to 20 minutes, that is the difference. ### Built for renting from abroad For most rental agents a client abroad is a side case. Relocify records every viewing on video with the presenter talking through the home, then handles the offer and the contract remotely. Premium customers in a rush have a 75% likelihood of finding a home within 30 days. ### A reply within 5 minutes Agencies commonly work 9 to 5 over WhatsApp and email. Relocify replies within 5 minutes in the customer chat or on the property discussion, which matters when a landlord wants an answer today. ### The whole country, not one city An agent who specialises in Amsterdam rarely views in Eindhoven. Relocify covers [Amsterdam](https://www.relocify.nl/location/amsterdam), [Amstelveen](https://www.relocify.nl/location/amstelveen), [Haarlem](https://www.relocify.nl/location/haarlem), [The Hague](https://www.relocify.nl/location/hague), [Leiden](https://www.relocify.nl/location/leiden), [Rotterdam](https://www.relocify.nl/location/rotterdam), [Utrecht](https://www.relocify.nl/location/utrecht), [Eindhoven](https://www.relocify.nl/location/eindhoven) and [the rest of the Netherlands](https://www.relocify.nl/location/netherlands). ### You pay the rest when you sign The fee is split: a down payment to start the search and a success fee only when you sign a contract. No signed contract, no success fee. ## Who uses Relocify - Internationals relocating to the Netherlands for a job, [searching from abroad](https://www.relocify.nl/location/netherlands) before they arrive, including those [moving to Amsterdam](https://www.relocify.nl/moving-to-amsterdam). - Expats [already in the Netherlands](https://www.relocify.nl/just-moved-netherlands) or [already in Amsterdam](https://www.relocify.nl/just-moved-amsterdam) who need a rental fast. - Couples and families moving together.

When he moved to Amsterdam for a job, he spent weeks searching and thousands of euros on temporary stays before he learned the hidden rules of the Dutch rental market. Years later he found homes for a friend's relocating employees, quit his job in late 2021 and started Relocify, focused on the hardest part of any move: long-term housing. He still writes many of the guides on the [Relocify blog](https://www.relocify.nl/blog) and in the [support centre](https://www.relocify.nl/wiki). The team is 28 people: relocation agents who run the searches, viewing presenters who attend viewings in person, sales, operations and engineering. Relocify is run by Esflow Technologies B.V. from Herengracht 449 A in Amsterdam.

Matching rentals flow into your app feed and the agent is one chat away. Viewings are attended for you and recorded, offers are submitted, the contract is reviewed before you sign, then check-in and a 10 to 15 minute call to set up utilities. **For companies.** HR invites the hire with one click. The hire gets the same consultation call and the same agent, and every question goes to the agent rather than HR's inbox. How billing and invitations work is in the [employer help centre](https://www.relocify.nl/companies/wiki). **Communication.** The chat in the Relocify app, on the web and on Android ( [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.relocify.mobapp), [set-up guide](https://www.relocify.nl/a/mobile-app)), WhatsApp, Telegram (@RelocifyBot), email at contact@relocify.nl and phone on +31 085 107 4266. Replies come within 5 minutes in the chat. **Turnaround.** Customers who started a search in 2026 signed a contract a median 30 days after starting. Half signed between 21 and 43 days.
