Flat-hunting guide

Answers to the questions our customers actually ask — without promises nobody can keep.

How to find a flat in Berlin

Where the listings are, what decides an application and which documents you should have ready in advance.

WBS in Berlin: who needs one and how to get it

The Wohnberechtigungsschein, levels 100 to 180, the application at the Bezirksamt — and what the service actually does with a WBS.

Applying to degewo, HOWOGE and Gewobag

Three municipal companies, three different routes — and what each of the three forms asks for.

A flat in Berlin for Ukrainians

What matters in an application, what language changes and where the service helps — and where it does not.

A flat in Brandenburg: searching without a shared portal

Brandenburg has no portal for everything. Which companies the service covers, which it does not, and what differs about the WBS.

What the service does

  • Watches the public listings of the companies named below in Berlin and Brandenburg — at night and at weekends too.
  • Fills in their public application forms with your profile data and sends the application in your name.
  • Clicks the confirmation links from the e-mails where an application does not count without that click.
  • Collects the companies' replies in your account and reports invitations to a viewing.
  • Flats of companies where automatic application does not work are not shown to you at all.

What the service does not do

  • It does not guarantee a flat. Only the housing company decides who gets it.
  • It does not attend viewings, does not book appointments and does not sign a tenancy agreement.
  • It does not send your SCHUFA report or payslips — the company asks you for those later and directly.
  • It does not invent anything: what is not in your profile cannot be in the form.
  • If a form requires a file attachment, the service does not submit it — there is nothing to guess here.
  • It is not a substitute for legal or social advice.

Companies with automated applications

Berlin: HOWOGE, degewo, Stadt und Land, Gewobag, berlinovo, WBM, Vonovia, Deutsche Wohnen, ADLER Group.

Brandenburg: WOBRA, GuWo Guben, WBG Brandenburg, WOWI Frankfurt (Oder), WOBAG Schwedt, WoGe Finsterwalde.

This list comes from the service's own code, not from a marketing page. When a company is added or changes its form, this page changes with it.

One plan: €29.99 per month including 19 % VAT, cancellable at any time. To get to know the service there is a free test drive: 24 hours, no card, up to 20 real applications, once per person. It ends on its own and does not turn into a subscription.
