The New Avatar of Roomys! www.roomys.in

Hi Rodinhooders !

I hope this article finds all of you reaching ever closer to your dreams. 

Roomys started as simple idea to help people find roommates/flatmates when i saw my friend’s younger sister facing difficulties in doing so. Our first official launch was at the Mumbai OH and it’s my privilege to be writing the first article about our new avatar here.Over this journey so far facing Uncertainties and Everyday Blues we have had some ecstatic, noisy moments and some quiet times with a lot of deliberation resisting the urge to market or declare our love for our startup from the rooftops. Most of the times, it has been the later.

We had always felt that house rentals were a natural augmentation to what we were doing and house rental search had not been solved so far. We want to solve it desperately and have thus come up with our new avatar.

” Roomys is now an end to end rental solutions company. We help you find Houses on Rent, Roommates/Flatmates and a marketplace for products and services to set up your house.”

“The most valuable businesses of coming decades will be built by entrepreneurs who seek to empower people rather than try to make them obsolete.” – Peter Thiel

Best Agents Curated by us and reviewed and rated by our users :

We work with the best agents in every area which is curated by us and moderated by the reviews and ratings of our users. Unlike a few portals which aim to create a world where agents will be eliminated, we believe that the best user experience can be created where agents are not eliminated but enabled using technology & trained in customer behavior. Also, the root cause is not that there are agents but that there are too many agents who are unregulated and are all looking to make a quick buck. If all agents can be brought on a common platform using technology and there are users who rate and review them, shortly the unprofessional ones will be driven out of business(how badly reviewed restaurants have a direct impact on their business). This will enable the best agents to survive and offer a superlative experience to the users.

Also, as the total number of agents come down, no. of deals/agent will go up and hence individual brokerage fee/transaction can come down. Btw, we have already managed to guarantee our users a 25% discount on the brokerage fee.

Everything that you need to set up your house while moving in :

We also have a new products and services marketplace which helps people to set up their house when they move in. From packers & movers to rental furniture , buying utensils, getting an internet connection, getting a cook, tiffin services etc. etc. we have everything covered. 

None of the other products have thought about the rentals solution in such detail and expanse. Most of them are just lead generation platforms whereas we strive to complete the entire transaction for our user. We dont charge a listing/advertising fee from our agents but a small success fee when they close a transaction. Also, since the agents are not advertisers but stakeholders in the entire process, we can monitor strict quality.

A lot of thought process has gone into this and we believe that is the only way to solve the rentals problem. It is too much to write about the tools that we have built and explain each of that in one article. Please check us out on www.roomys.in and hit me up with all queries and feedback. I would love to discuss and learn from you.

And as i end this, a humble message to my dear Rodinhooders – please do not listen to the experts from the sidelines, they will be there giving gyaan even after 2 years or more ( personal experience) and they are after all, not as intelligent as you may think.

Attach your wagon to a star 🙂

I am also attaching a few screenshots of the product which might give you an idea about what we are doing.
