HOMEBOY
Bonn, Germany
What it is
HOMEBOY searches eight German property sources and forwards matching new listings by app push notification or email. Search profiles can specify city or district, rent, living area, room count, and radius, with filters for short-term, premium, WBS, and shared-flat offers. HOMEBOY says alerts may arrive up to 30 minutes before property portals notify users. Android and iOS apps support profiles, results, favorites, applied markers, and an application template; email forwarding currently works through the web version. Listings link to their source, so users contact landlords or representatives and apply themselves. The free plan costs nothing and allows one rental-apartment profile up to €1,000 rent. Premium Monthly costs €19.99 a month with four profiles and recipients, and covers apartments and houses. HOMEBOY is a BINGOOO AG product based in Bonn, Germany.
