You're moving abroad. We'll handle the housing.
A new role in Dublin, a transfer to Madrid, a family move to Lisbon — the hard part is rarely the decision, it's the flat. From where you are now you can't view anything, you don't know which streets to avoid, and your foreign application makes local landlords nervous. Remoters matches you with a home finder who already lives there, works in your language, searches against your brief, views properties on your behalf and stays with you until the lease is signed.
A home finder already living there, who searches, visits and negotiates on your side.
No commitment — it defines your needs before any proposal.
Payment is held by Remoters until the service is delivered.
Who this is for
Our individual clients have one thing in common: they need a home in a city they're not in yet, with an arrival date already fixed.
Young professionals on the move
First job abroad, a transfer, a one- or two-year contract — often on short notice.
Expats
They are settling long-term and can't afford to pick the wrong neighbourhood for years.
Families
A bigger home, close to schools, a pet, school-calendar constraints.
Couples moving together
Two professional situations to fit into a single application.
People moving back to France
After years away, they've lost their bearings on the local market.
Students
Your situation has a dedicated page: For students & schools.
Why remote searching goes wrong
Searching from abroad isn't the same process stretched over more weeks. The market behaves differently when you're not standing in it.
Listings are frequently stale, duplicated across sites, sometimes fabricated — and you have no way to check.
In tight markets the good properties go within hours, often before they're published at all.
Foreign applications unsettle landlords: an employment contract they can't read, no local guarantor, no local credit history.
The rules change by country — deposit size, lease length, mandatory agency involvement, entry fees.
A photo tells you nothing about noise, real daylight, the street at 10pm or the actual commute.
Deposit scams specifically target people who can't view in person.
What a local home finder changes
Your home finder lives in the city. Obvious to say, decisive in practice: they see the properties, know the streets, speak to agencies in their own language and know what a local landlord will actually accept.
They search the whole market — agencies, private landlords, and properties circulating in their network before publication.
They kill dead listings before you ever see them, which removes most of the wasted time.
They attend viewings for you, film, photograph, and tell you plainly what's wrong with a place.
They negotiate rent and entry terms on your side of the table.
They present your application the way the local market expects, which offsets a foreign profile.
They read the lease with you and explain the clauses before you sign.
You describe your project
City, budget, dates, criteria. We match you with a home finder suited to your destination and language.
Free first call
Free and without commitment, it pins down what you need.
A written proposal
Your home finder sends price, scope and terms. Nothing starts without your go-ahead.
Search, viewings, signature
The search starts, viewings follow, and they stay with you through to signing.
What it costs
Matching and the first call are free. The search fee is set by your home finder and stated before you commit — usually €400 to €2,000, averaging around €600. No platform fee is added on top, and Remoters holds the payment until the service has been delivered. Full breakdown on the Pricing page.
Where we operate
The network covers more than 220 cities across 60+ countries — Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, plus France itself for moves within the country. Check your city on the Destinations page.
Frequently asked questions
A local home finder views it for you: they attend in person, film and photograph the property, and send you their assessment of both the flat and the neighbourhood. You decide from that, and they review the lease with you before you sign.
It often is, because local landlords can't interpret a foreign employment contract and usually want a guarantor from their own country. Your home finder knows what the local market expects, presents your file accordingly, and targets landlords who are open to international tenants.
It depends heavily on the city, the season and your criteria. In a normal market, expect a few weeks between launching the search and signing; in a very tight market or with demanding constraints, longer.
Yes, both are common. They simply narrow the search: your home finder prioritises landlords who accept, which is very hard to identify yourself from abroad.
No. You deal with your home finder in your own language, and they handle the agencies and landlords locally. That's exactly why matching accounts for language.
Yes. The model differs: an upfront deposit funds the search and a success fee is due on completion. Your home finder sets this out in their proposal.
