Finding the perfect rental, in the right place, at the right price, and in the shortest possible time, requires good organisation. Here are 5 tips to help you do just that.

E-mail alerts

Contacting all the real estate agencies and visiting the websites can be very time consuming. The solution to make your search more efficient is to create email alerts. They allow you to receive directly in your inbox the real estate ads that correspond to your search criteria. Not only does this save you a lot of time, but it is also the best way to be the first to know about new ads and to take advantage of good deals.

Being responsive

To make sure you don't miss out on the flat that might be right for you, you need to be quick. Call within an hour, or at most within a day of receiving the email alert. Being first can make the difference on highly desirable properties.  

Being "mobile".

Your smartphone or tablet will become your best friend during your property search. Receiving email alerts or push notifications, and viewing listings wherever you are will make your life much easier. Download the atHome.lu application 

Take the time to visit

Freeing up time for visits is essential. During the lunch break or at the end of the day, or even for a whole half day, you must be available to make appointments with estate agents and to visit properties. There is no alternative but to go and see the property for yourself and see if you like it!

Prepare a complete dossier

Finally, anticipate by preparing your file beforehand. If you are interested in the property you are visiting, send us the necessary information to rent it.
