How does this work?
Sometimes rental properties are listed online even though they’ve been off the market for years.
Because we have access to all current rental listings, we can check whether a property has actually been posted recently. That’s how we came up with this idea: a search system that lets you double-check any rental property.
How does it work?
Enter the street name of the property you want to check. We'll immediately show you:
- whether the property was recently listed,
- and on which websites the ad appears.
What does that mean for you?
- Multiple recent listings found? Then it’s likely a legitimate ad.
- Nothing found, or only old listings? Be careful, it could be a scam.
Why did you create this?
Unfortunately, rental scams are still common in the housing market.
We built this tool to offer more transparency and to protect renters.
Many rental websites show listings that are outdated, no longer available, or never existed in the first place.
Even worse: some show you a “dream apartment,” ask you to pay to contact the landlord, and only then do you find out it’s already been rented.
This tool was built to protect renters from scams. It shows all the reliable websites where a property is listed, usually the original broker’s site. In most cases, you can contact them for free.
How does Stekkies help renters?
Stekkies gathers legitimate rental listings from over 1000 trusted sources.
If we find a property that matches your search criteria, we immediately send you a notification.
The real challenge in finding a rental isn’t locating the listing, it’s reacting quickly when a new listing goes online. Agents often receive dozens of responses and usually select from the first 30 applicants.
That’s exactly where Stekkies comes in. We save you time by searching for you, sending listings directly from the source, and making sure you're among the first to respond.
Our developers (Joppe, Diederik & Jeroen) work every day to optimize how quickly and accurately we deliver relevant matches to our users. At the time of writing, it takes on average just ~12 seconds from when we find a listing to when it appears in your app.
