Roomies is an awesome alternative to Craigslist and NextDoor.
While I did not find a renter through Roomies.com, it was a good find and I enjoyed the people and conversations that I had with potential renters.
Seemed like I had to reach out more often to invite looks at my ad than I had enquiries which was surprising. But I enjoyed the experience and chatting with interviewers. Thank you. I will keep Roomies in mind for the future.
I'm a disabled vet who rented an extra room from my house to help with high prices. And for no reason my account was frozen and I was blocked out.
When I tried emailing them to see why o have been totally ignored.
Please ask for background check! Have contract! Heroin addicts r cons! Don't trust anyone! Most r losers!
I have found two great roommates using Roomies. It was easy to create a listing and find compatible and like-minded people to share the space.
Overall, I highly recommend the platform.
The set-up - structure of the website is excellent. The function of it could be greatly enhanced by the Site Mgr. Conducting a timely removal of people's ads for a room that have been up there for over 2-months. Required Identity Verification is a plus. Aside from that, great job.!
I was impressed by the amount of work that must have gone into creating this site. It is simple to use
And most responsive. Each time anyone expressed an interest in the rental I was immediately contacted by email. Helpful forms and suggestions were created as guidelines to help both parties negotiate through clear communication about the expectation that arise during the rental process.
Listed and found a roommate in about 2 weeks. Got a short stay of 2 months. The experience was quite painless and the roommate is a pleasure to talk to.
Roomies.com is a legitimate source for finding housemates. There are others with similar names that cost money and you're never able to connect with others until you actually pay. Roomies.com is free and is my best source over the years to connect my place with quality housemates.
Easy site to use with lots of inquires on my room. Would definitely recommend and use again when another room becomes available.
Due to life's circumstances a longtime roomie left to move on to another life with a partner. Shortly thereafter another longtime roomie passed, I was devastated. I placed ads on several sites which were free to use without requiring you to pay extra! I placed the ad on Roomies and found 2 new roommates here! Sparks flew and we knew! Its truly been a good situation for all concerned! Personalities have blended well and everyone truly likes the others! It's a great environment! Thanks Roomies! Great site!
Other roommate websites claim to be free but you cant message other users without paying so its effectively useless. This website is great, I got a lot of traffic for my ad and found a roommate in a few weeks after talking to about 15 people. I had a much better experience here than with roommates.com.
I have had wonderful experiences finding tenants. I highly recommend this website! I have had several tenants found here and all have been excellent.
It's free and it works. I had lots of interest in my listing and wound up finding a great fit for my situation
Roomies is a great site to find roommates because of it's diversity and quality of people who use the site
The site may be fine, but be diligent with who you rent from in here. The lady I drove 2000 miles to move in with, didn't own the property, she leases it. She didn't want the owner to know. Just make sure you're dealing with an owner, not a tenant
My experience has been a nightmare with Carol on 181 garden path. Please be aware. She is tring to charge all kinds of fees.
Like the dry cleaning of her cheap bedding. A cutting board that I used to cut on... really? 85.00
For a tiny scratch. Would have been nice to know in advance it was for decoration only... I could go on and on. Please be aware...
Easy layout, and quick messaging tools. Was able to find a roomate almost immediately! Would definitely recommend this site for roomate searching
I am not saying that roomies is a bad company. I am saying that one of the people running a room on there is a real weirdo! If you happen to go on this website and come across a listing by John Wagner do not do it! Unless of course you want somebody coming in your room whenever they want to harassing you and making your life miserable! He has it listed under Leo and Remi's room so be very careful!
It's a great place to post a spare room for free. The actual process of posting a listing is fairly easy.
Within a couple of days, I had 8-10 responses.
Answer: Legit. It does offer a place for roommates to find someone to share an apartment or a house
Answer: Hi Kathleen, Credit checks are generally completed within 24 hours. Background checks can vary depending on the county courthouse. Some users experience a faster turnaround, and others may experience longer delays. Most do receive their results within 3-5 days. Hope this helps, The Roomies Team
Answer: Hi Kathleen, Thank you for your inquiry. There are two ways users can initiate background checks. Option 1. A person can purchase the check and assign it to a potential roommate. The potential roommate can then submit their information and they will both receive the report once completed. Option 2. The person completing the background check can purchase and submit their info. (This can be either the person posting a room or a potential renter). Once the check is completed, they can share the report with others. At the moment, our credit checks can only be initiated by the person who wants to complete them. Keep in mind that some potential renters may also request that the person renting a room have a credit check or background check completed if they will be living in the home. I hope this answers your question. If you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team via email at hello@roomies.com. All the best, The Roomies Team
Answer: I was on a lot of different rooms for rent apartments for rent a lot of different apps. It's super frustrating roomies was really easy to use it was user friendly. Just put in what you're looking for and it will bring up matches for you at the same time you do have to be careful cuz sometimes there's scam artists out there
