Find your people first.
Then find your place.
Stop scrolling through empty apartments. Register your vibe, get matched with compatible housemates, and let landlords come to your group.
How roommes works
The reverse marketplace. People form groups first, then listings find them.
- Phase 1
Register Your Profile
No listings yet. Just you — your sleep pattern, vibe, budget, and preferred area.
- Phase 2
Get Matched into a Group
Algorithm pairs you with 2–4 compatible people. Chat for 48 hours and decide.
- Phase 3
Listings Come to Your Group
Landlords see your confirmed group and make offers. You choose — not the landlord.
- Phase 4
Move In with Confidence
Rolling monthly contracts, deposit support, and platform trust scores.
