How renters describe
searching with Dean.

01 / 20
We kept forwarding each other the same links. Now my girlfriend gets the same alerts in her inbox, so we can just talk it over. Saves a lot of hassle.

Teun & Marleen

I was on the train when the WhatsApp came in. Could look straight away instead of only that evening.

Yassin

I used to trawl the same websites every morning. Don't have to anymore. That's the win for me.

Lotte

My boyfriend wanted Rotterdam, I wanted Delft. We now have two searches running side by side, works fine.

Bram & Noor

First day I already got two places I hadn't come across myself. That convinced me.

Sophie

I'm searching a small area, so there isn't much. But I don't have to check myself whether anything new showed up.

Daan

Took me five minutes to set up. After that I didn't have to do anything.

Ravi

We were always too late before and viewings were already full. Now at least we're on time.

Thomas & Elin

Email and WhatsApp together works well for me. Alert while I'm out, then read it properly at home.

Omar

No more fifteen tabs open. It's all just in one place.

Lisa

I filled in fairly specific requirements, so I don't get many emails. But what comes in is actually usable.

Feline

We were looking in three parts of the city. Finally some overview instead of chaos in our group chat.

Niels & Roos

Works well. Little hassle.

Sam

I'd already found something myself after two weeks, so I cancelled. No fuss about it, which I appreciate.

Irma

For a studio under a thousand euros you just have to be quick. The alert came before the listing was everywhere.

Maxime

Haven't found anything yet, but the listings that come in really are new. In this market that already counts. Hoping it works out soon.

Wesley

I used to lie awake worrying I'd miss something. That feeling is gone now.

Sarah

We both get them, so no more 'did you see that one?'. Small thing, but it helps.

Anouk & Mees

After months of searching myself this was just calmer. I wasn't going to keep it up otherwise.

Kim

You don't get everything that's online, but you do get what's close to what you're looking for. Exactly what I wanted.

Tom

What changes when Dean searches?

You no longer have to collect fresh listings yourself. Your attention goes to homes that genuinely fit.
