What Perfect Housing does

Perfect Housing is a Netherlands-based online marketplace for long-stay rental apartments, founded in the late 2000s and headquartered in Amsterdam, operating under the short description "the leading website for rental apartments in the Netherlands." The platform aggregates screened rental properties — 161 listings supplied by 2 partner rental agents — across 13+ Dutch cities including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Amstelveen, Breda, Maastricht, Eindhoven, Haarlem, and Wassenaar. Its primary users are expatriate professionals and expat families relocating to the Netherlands, as well as corporate HR and relocation departments sourcing accommodation for employees; a secondary audience comprises rental brokers and property owners seeking access to the expat tenant demographic.

The platform is built on a web-based property listing and search engine with multi-dimensional filters (city, price, bedrooms, size, availability duration, special labels such as Serviced Apartments, Family Friendly, and Suited for Sharing), map search, and a registered-user account system for weekly property highlights. Surrounding the core marketplace are several integrated modules: a Home Search Assistance wizard routing users to partner brokers, a dedicated Corporate Housing offering for enterprise clients, an Expat Information content hub covering neighborhood guides and relocation logistics, an Expat Provider advertising directory (banking, insurance, utilities, language services), and the Stayci serviced-apartment sub-brand offering fully furnished, all-inclusive long-stay inventory in The Hague. The site is bilingual (English/Dutch) and distributes via organic SEO, social media (Facebook, X/Twitter), and email newsletter.

Perfect Housing monetizes through four streams: recurring subscription/listing fees from rental agents and property providers, advertising fees from expat service providers, referral/affiliate fees from partner home search brokers, and managed corporate housing arrangements. The business is privately held, founder/owner-operated with 11-50 employees, and has no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or expansion beyond the Netherlands. Customer concentration is high on the supply side, with two rental agents — including Perfect Visit, whose 139 serviced apartments account for the large majority of inventory — providing essentially all listings on the platform.
