The view of hills and buildings from an apartment window

Three fields, one email.
That is the whole product.

There is no dashboard to check and no account to make. If you never hear from us, nothing matched. That is information too.

  1. 01

    Describe it once

    Set a budget, an area and a minimum floor, then write the rest in plain English. “Green view, not the tower next door” is a valid filter here.

  2. 02

    We read every new listing

    Every few hours we pull new rentals from across Metro Vancouver and read the whole ad, not just the title, for floor, exposure, parking and amenities.

  3. 03

    You get an email that explains itself

    One email per match, with a PDF that says which of your requirements it meets, which it doesn’t, and exactly what to ask the landlord.

What actually lands
in your inbox

Every alert says why it matched and what the listing left out. Most ads skip the floor and the exposure, so we flag those as questions instead of guessing.
