Thanks to Amelia, our family found a house in the Porto region, 8 minutes from the company where I work. It was not easy because we had the constraints of a big dog. Professionalism and availability were there throughout the process.

A big thank you to Lily for finding us our apartment for our university exchange in Seville. I highly recommend her, she was by our side until the end!

Sarah has found a shared room for our son who is going to study in Sweden. The most incredible thing is that this was done in 24 hours, in a tense rental market! Some will say it's a fluke but it's not. Sarah listened to our research, immediately contacted her network and made us a proposal the same day, a proposal that we definitively validated the next day after a video visit. Sarah was very responsive, very professional and really nice. She has all our gratitude for this tailor-made service.

Very satisfied with Michelle' services, we were able to find a very nice house in the center of Saint Paul. The support and the progress points were really perfect from start to finish and our criteria were respected. I highly recommend Michelle' services

Ideally 4-6 months before the semester. In NYC, apartments rent very quickly and landlords often require income 40x the monthly rent. Without an American guarantor, plan to use a service like Insurent from the start of your search.

NYC landlords require a guarantor with income 80x the rent or personal income 40x the rent. Without a local guarantor, use a guarantee service like Insurent or Rhino (for a fee). Some student residences don't require a guarantor.

Flat sharing is almost mandatory in NYC given the prices. It saves 40-50% compared to a studio and makes it easier to get approved (combined incomes). International flat shares are very common, especially in Brooklyn and Queens.
