How roommes works

The reverse marketplace. People form groups first, then listings find them.

  1. Phase 1

    Register Your Profile

    No listings yet. Just you — your sleep pattern, vibe, budget, and preferred area.

  2. Phase 2

    Get Matched into a Group

    Algorithm pairs you with 2–4 compatible people. Chat for 48 hours and decide.

  3. Phase 3

    Listings Come to Your Group

    Landlords see your confirmed group and make offers. You choose — not the landlord.

  4. Phase 4

    Move In with Confidence

    Rolling monthly contracts, deposit support, and platform trust scores.

What our early users say

Real stories from people who found their match on roommes.

  • I was nervous about finding a roommate in Seoul as a first-time expat. roommes matched me with two people who had the exact same sleep schedule and cleanliness standards. We moved in together after just 48 hours of chatting!

  • Finding compatible roommates in Mapo used to feel impossible. The compatibility score was spot-on — we've been living together for 3 months with zero drama.

  • The 48-hour trial chat was a game changer. I could tell within an hour whether we'd get along. No more awkward in-person meetings with strangers.
