Has the spirit, needs technical refinement
Overall, nice experience. After about a month of searching, we viewed ~6 properties, sent offers to 3 of them, and eventually found a nice apartment for a rather reasonable price, and managed to move into our home directly after our flight. Yulia was our account manager, and she was really helpful during the process; she responded to our messages quickly and was insightful. The first virtual viewing (video) we got wasn't as good as we expected, but as we specified our expectations and what we wanted from a viewing, the future viewings were greatly improved.
Points of improvement:
- You'll be presented with a lot of properties that don't match your filters, simply because the crawling service isn't that capable on some sources yet, and can't extract some necessary data to match against your filters (i.e., pets allowed, bedroom count, floor space, furnished, etc.). This results in 90% of the shown postings being simply unavailable/undesirable to us. This isn't too hard to fix, and it's the reason I'm leaving a 4-star review. I think the problem remains unsolved in part because they're incentivized to push people to buy the Premium package, which includes manual filtering by the agency.
- The system decided to show me places that were as far as 2 hours away from my workplace, even though my filter was set on 1.5 hours. This is mostly a matter of user experience, and Relocify must allow users to draw a hard line, saying that under any circumstances, I don't want my commute to be longer than X. Treating users' filters as a mere suggestion isn't the best solution.
- Having a filter on corporate housing would be nice. I'd imagine Relocify's customers are mainly relocating from abroad, and no immigrant can actually apply to those properties. They do actually flag those kinds of places, but still show them to the user for some reason.
