Pat Drinan discusses how HomeHak.com aims to fundamentally improve the process of renting a home globally. The company is making the renting process about people, not just the property and uses technology to remove stress from the letting process. HomeHak aims to cuts costs and reduces administration for home seekers, tenants, students, homeowners, landlords and letting agents.
HomeHak simplifies the home renting process by aligning the goals of all stakeholders and by cutting out needless bureaucracy.
- Home seekers create a great Tenant CV that they use as often as they want, instead of completing dozens of application forms
- Home seekers get tools to proactively promote their credentials as great tenants while protecting their personal data.
- Landlords and homeowners can make an informed selection of tenants who will be happy in their property
- Letting agents can deliver a quality professional service for less cost and focus resources on winning more clients
The company mission is to help organised home-seekers get selected for a home, and help landlords and agents select trustworthy tenants.
The HomeHak.com platform is the first of its kind and launched in 2021 in Cork. It quickly attracted thousands of organised home seekers and is supported by leading real estate letting agents. HomeHak is looking to help with the shortage of student accommodation by encouraging homeowners to select organised students from the platform, without the need to advertise on property websites. The company has plans to expand across Ireland and Internationally.
