Founded in 2016, Homie offers Generation Rent a fully managed home-search experience through its web app. Users supply their requirements and are matched with a dedicated “Homie” agent who assembles a short-list of suitable properties across multiple agencies. The agent then books all viewings into a single tour, travels with the renter by cab, and offers unbiased neighbourhood advice, enabling customers to find, view and secure a home in as little as three days. Homie earns revenue by charging introductory fees to letting agents when tenants are successfully placed, operating a marketplace brokerage model. Its primary customers are students, young professionals and millennial expats who lack the time or expertise to navigate London’s fragmented rental market. Backed by $6 million in total funding, the company is now capitalised to further develop and scale its concierge platform.
