Be the local person they can rely on.
Work with RentEyes as an independent local Hunter.
People looking for a home often can't be there in person. As a House Hunter, you provide the local presence they need — from searching and applications to physical apartment viewings.
How it works
Get assigned a customer
RentEyes brings you qualified customers looking for housing in your city.
Understand their needs
Speak with the customer, understand their requirements and help them navigate the local market.
Do the local work
Search for suitable properties, communicate with landlords or agents, assist with applications and attend physical viewings.
Get paid
Complete the agreed service and receive your Hunter compensation from RentEyes.
What does a House Hunter do?
The role is built on local presence and practical support. You are the person on the ground: you know the city, you can walk into an apartment, and you can tell someone honestly what they are looking at.
- •Understand customer housing requirements
- •Provide local and neighbourhood knowledge
- •Search publicly available property listings
- •Identify potentially suitable properties
- •Contact landlords, agents and property managers
- •Assist customers with applications
- •Arrange apartment viewings
- •Attend physical viewings
- •Take photos or videos where permitted
- •Ask the customer's questions during viewings
- •Report observations back to the customer
- •Help with follow-up communication
- •Provide practical local guidance
The customer can't always be there. You can.
Already found an apartment? Be there for them.
Sometimes a customer has already found the right apartment but cannot attend the viewing themselves. A House Hunter can attend locally, represent the customer's interests during the viewing in a practical support capacity, take photos or video where permitted, ask questions and provide a local assessment afterwards.
Note: some landlords or agents may require the customer to attend personally or may require written authorisation or a power of attorney.
What makes a great House Hunter?
Local
You know your city and understand its neighbourhoods, transport and practical differences.
Reliable
If you commit to a viewing or task, you show up and follow through.
Proactive
You don't wait for someone to tell you what to do. You identify opportunities and keep the customer informed.
Communicative
You communicate clearly and professionally with customers, landlords and agents.
Honest
You give customers your real assessment instead of simply telling them what they want to hear.
Organised
You keep track of properties, applications, viewings and follow-ups.
This could be a good fit if you…
- ✓Know your city well
- ✓Enjoy helping people
- ✓Are comfortable speaking with landlords and agents
- ✓Can attend apartment viewings in person
- ✓Communicate well in English and/or the local language
- ✓Are organised and responsive
- ✓Want flexible independent work
- ✓Have experience with the local rental market
English is a plus, not a requirement — unless a specific city calls for it.
Important: what a House Hunter does not do
- — You do not collect rent or rental deposits.
- — You do not collect customer service fees directly.
- — You do not sign rental agreements on behalf of customers.
- — You do not guarantee that a customer will get an apartment.
- — You do not guarantee that an application will be accepted.
- — You do not provide legal advice.
- — You do not provide professional building inspections.
- — You do not represent yourself as a licensed real-estate agent if you are not licensed.
- — You do not act as the landlord's broker.
When in doubt, ask RentEyes before taking an action that could have legal or financial consequences.
You get paid for the work you do.
Customers purchase their service from RentEyes. RentEyes collects the customer payment and pays the independent House Hunter according to the agreed compensation structure.
85%
of net service revenue goes to the House Hunter.
15%
remains with RentEyes.
Net service revenue means the service amount excluding applicable VAT, refunds, chargebacks and other amounts that do not constitute service revenue.
Example — current Munich model
- Customer price (incl. 19% VAT)
- €899.00
- VAT
- €143.54
- Net service revenue
- €755.46
- Hunter share (85%)
- €642.14
- RentEyes share (15%)
- €113.32
This is an example of the current Munich compensation model, not a guaranteed or fixed earning amount. House Hunters do not receive a salary.
Work independently
House Hunters work as independent contractors, not employees of RentEyes. You manage your own availability and your own independent business, and you are responsible for your own taxes, social contributions, insurance, registrations and any licences or permissions that apply to your activities.
