renting.berlin is a project born out of living the nightmare of finding a place to live in Berlin, aiming to make a little bit better the house hunting process, already difficult per se, and in Berlin this task becomes a full-time frustrating job, eating out your time and nerves.
The modern approach is to use real estate websites such as immobilienscout24 or wg-gesucht.
Because of Berlin's high demand, one of the main issues of this process is the significant loss of time spent waiting for new ads to be published. After searching for a while, you can start feeling the pressure of having more demand than offer, which pushes you to try to be among the first ones applying, in order to have more chances.
The approach is quite simple: automated monitoring of search results pages, using Telegram to deliver instant notifications for newly discovered ads. Faster than any daily email, and allowing you to take back any apartment-related FOMO.
