Roomi is a free mobile platform that’s revolutionizing the way people search and connect in the rental industry. That starts with building back trust in the peer-to-peer marketplace with the simplest and safest choice for the housing search. Members can instantly post listings, search for the right room or roommate based on lifestyle preferences, connect through the in-app chat, apply for a room, and pay rent — all within one platform. With verified listings, the right tools and personalized support, users are empowered to make the savviest choices for their individual needs.

Roomi supports users before, during and after the move, with the goal of helping everyone connect to their new spaces and communities — whether across the city or around the world. Roomi curates the best rooms and services for people seeking flexible, affordable co-living solutions. The app uses an elegant peer-to-peer approach to connect two groups: those with empty rooms and those searching for a home. Unlike other roommate finding platforms, Roomi utilizes an extensive social graph, so that anyone can quickly create a profile, search and integrate preferences and social information into their decision making process. The app’s built-in chat allows users to connect safely and encourages open communication about issues such as shared values, common interests and compatible lifestyle — factors that are important for successful roommate relationships and good living experiences. Roomi is helping people live better together, one home at a time.
