Finding a new home is always a hassle. The renter would have call multiple agents and the viewings often span over days to a week. Homie tries to change that process for the renter by being the single point of contact for the renter while organises everything else behind the scene.

Having a map is great, but it only really benefits those who know London well. After testing with a focus group we found that having Commute Search is what’s missing. It allows the user to discover properties and areas that might have been dismissed otherwise.
