Frequently Asked Questions
How does FirstPlace work in finding a rental property?
FirstPlace offers you smart assistance in finding a rental property through an automated search bot that scans over 1,400 rental sites in the Netherlands 24/7. This way, you can find up to 98% of all available rental properties - including those hidden gems often missed by other property seekers.
When you create a search request, our search bot immediately starts working for you. If a property comes online that matches your housing preferences, you will receive a property alert via email or our app within seconds. This allows you to react first and significantly increase your chances of a viewing.
Do you also rent out rental properties?
No, FirstPlace does not rent out properties itself. And that is not necessary at all. There are already thousands of rental agents, housing corporations, and private providers active in the Netherlands. What is really missing is a smart way to find all that new supply quickly and clearly - and that's where FirstPlace comes in.
We provide assistance in finding a rental property through automated search bots that monitor 1,400 property websites 24/7. As soon as a property appears that matches your search criteria, you receive an immediate notification via email or our app.
Thanks to our property alerts, you can react faster than other property seekers. And those who respond first often stand out at the top of the pile with the landlord. So: we do not rent out properties, but we do help you find one faster.
Why should I pay for FirstPlace?
A good question. There are many free and paid housing sites - so why choose FirstPlace? Simple: because we provide real assistance in finding a rental property, allowing you to react faster than others and have a better chance of a viewing.
Many housing websites simply show a list of available rental properties. But by the time you see an ad, there are often hundreds or thousands of others who have viewed the same property. So you are often too late - and hear nothing back from the landlord.
FirstPlace approaches this differently. With our smart search bots, we monitor 1,400 housing sites for you 24/7. As soon as a property comes online that matches your preferences, we send you an alert via our app or email immediately - often within seconds. This allows you to react first.
This saves you time, prevents frustration, and increases your chances of an invitation for a viewing. That's why FirstPlace is more than worth it.
Do you guarantee that FirstPlace works?
We would love to promise it, but unfortunately, no one can guarantee 100% that you will find a property - not even us. What we do guarantee is that with FirstPlace, you get the best assistance in finding a rental property: fast, smart, and fully tailored to your housing preferences.
Our search bots scour 1,400 housing sites 24/7, so you receive almost all available rental properties in the Netherlands via a property alert - often within seconds of them being online. This allows you to react first and immediately increase your chances of a viewing.
Thousands of users have already found a property through FirstPlace and rate us excellent on Trustpilot. Moreover, we offer you extra security with our Money-Back Guarantee: you can try our service risk-free for 14 days.
With FirstPlace, you increase your chances of finding the rental property that truly suits you.
I see a property I like. How can I view it?
Have you received a property alert via FirstPlace and see a rental property that suits you? Great! Then it's time to act quickly. Please note: you do not respond via FirstPlace, but directly with the provider - this can be a landlord, agent, or housing corporation.
Here's how it works:
1. Click on the link in your property alert. You will be automatically redirected to the provider's website.
2. See how you can respond. This varies per platform. Sometimes you can send a message directly, sometimes you need to create an account first.
3. Respond personally and quickly. Send your response as soon as possible to increase your chances of a viewing.
/>💡 Tip: Create accounts on rental websites where you often receive notifications. This way, you can respond immediately when you receive an alert - and make the most of our assistance in finding a rental property.
