Roomie Radar is an innovative solution for expatriates who have just arrived in Luxembourg, or who are preparing to move here, to find a room in complete confidence. Founded by two expatriates who were themselves confronted with the difficulties of the local rental market, this free platform aims to become a benchmark in the sector.
An answer to a problem well known to expatriates
Roomie Radar was founded by two expats who have been living in Luxembourg for four years: Salvador Reynes and Javier Geisseler. Faced with the realities of the Luxembourg housing market—limited supply, complex access to reliable information, and the lack of a platform dedicated solely to room rentals—they decided to create their own solution. As Javier recalls:
"There was no site specifically dedicated to room-sharing or room rentals in Luxembourg."
The aim is clear: to offer a simple, secure and intuitive platform for finding or offering a room to rent, with a particular focus on expatriates from Europe, India, the USA and Africa.
A platform designed with users in mind
Unlike general websites focused on renting entire apartments, Roomie Radar focuses on simplicity. The site was developed in-house, with the help of third-party developers, to ensure a seamless interface and excellent user experience.
Salvador emphasizes:
"In just a few clicks, you can create a profile, publish or apply for a room."
For owners, one of the major advantages is the simplified management of ads: a room already published can be deactivated and then reactivated at any time without having to recreate the ad. The site is aimed at agencies, co-living spaces and private individuals with a spare room - for example, parents whose children are away studying.
A free and expanding service
Today, the platform is completely free for both tenants and landlords. There are no commissions or subscriptions: the primary goal is to increase awareness and the number of offers.
In figures, this translates to:
- Over 1,000 new users in the last three months
- Nearly 6,000 monthly visits to the site
An expansion strategy based on the creation of an active community, notably via social networks, and on a variety of partnerships.
Towards complementary services
While Roomie Radar is currently a digital marketplace, its founders are considering taking it further. Among the ideas being considered: offering additional services to further secure rentals, such as visits certified by partners.
Javier clarifies:
"We don't want to limit ourselves to a simple catalog of ads. We want to add value, in particular by reassuring expatriates about the reliability of the accommodation."
A clear ambition for the Luxembourg market
By positioning itself as the benchmark portal for shared accommodation in Luxembourg , the founders of Roomie Radar want to fill an obvious gap in the market.
Salvador concludes:
"We want to be the go-to platform for anyone looking for a room here."
