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.

Who it's for

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.

Those moving back home

After several years abroad, they've lost their bearings on the local market.

Students

So many of you trust us that we've given you a whole page: For students & schools.

Remotely

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.

1

Listings are frequently stale, duplicated across sites, sometimes fabricated — and you have no way to check.

2

In tight markets the good properties go within hours, often before they're published at all.

3

Foreign applications unsettle landlords: an employment contract they can't read, no local guarantor, no local credit history.

4

The rules change by country — deposit size, lease length, mandatory agency involvement, entry fees.

5

A photo tells you nothing about noise, real daylight, the street at 10pm or the actual commute.

6

Deposit scams specifically target people who can't view in person.

The solution

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.

The journey

How it works

The full details are on the How it works page.

1

You describe your project

City, budget, dates, criteria. We assign you a home finder on the ground, suited to your search and speaking your language.

2

Free first call

Free and without commitment, it pins down what you need.

3

A written proposal

Your home finder sends you an offer with their price, the details of their service and the refund conditions.

4

Search, viewings, signature

The search starts, viewings follow, and they stay with you through to signing.

Pricing

What it costs

The full details are on the Pricing page.

Matching and the first call are free. The search fee is set by your home finder and stated before you commit — usually €500 to €900 depending on the city (from €300–€400 in Budapest up to €700–€1,450 in Dublin). No platform fee is added on top, and Remoters holds the payment until the service has been delivered. Full breakdown on the Pricing page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I rent a flat abroad without viewing it?
+

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.

Will my foreign application be rejected?
+

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.

How long does a search take?
+

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.

Does this work with pets or for a flatshare?
+

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.

I don't speak the local language — is that a problem?
+

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.

Can I use a home finder to buy rather than rent?
+

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.
