Hi, I'm Razvan

I'm 26, a lead software engineer, and I've lived in Eindhoven for over six years. I came here as a student and stayed.

Which means I've done the thing you're probably doing right now.

I know the refreshing. I know the exhaustion. I know the panic. Chasing rooms. Then doing it again the next day. And the next.

I'd apply to a room that had just been posted, sure I was early, and hear nothing back. That's because in the short window between the listing going up and me finding it, hundreds of people had already applied.

That's the whole game. Being first is what gets you the room.

So hearing about a listing the moment it appears isn't a nice extra. It's everything.

The big listing sites don't own the rooms. They copy them from the agencies, a little later. Everyone refreshing those sites is already behind.

So I went to the source. Houskey watches the agencies themselves, every 60 seconds, and sends you the room on WhatsApp the moment it appears.

The Dutch housing market is short on housing, not on demand. I can't fix that.

What I can do is make sure you're not the one who found out too late, that the listing is real, and that you know why a place fits before you put the work in.

If something breaks, if an alert doesn't make sense, or if you just want to tell me you found a place, talk to us. It's me who reads it.

I see myself in every person using Houskey. Searching, sometimes desperately, in a market that simply doesn't have enough to offer for everyone who needs it. When someone finds a place, I feel it the way I felt my own. That, more than any feature, is what Houskey is built on.
