Flow seamlessly connects landlords and tenants by enabling them to manage their entire rental experience within one easy-to-use mobile app.
This has been made possible by incentivizing tenants with up to 20% of their rent back in rewards monthly including discounts on electricity, airtime, entertainment, and more.
With 80,000+ tenants and 4,000+ landlords onboard since Feb 2019, the market has just reset after the global pandemic. Getting tenants in the door is not the same anymore.
So Flow has developed a messaging function that gives tenants an easy ability to ask questions and get to know more about the apartment without having to take the risk of going on a physical viewing.
South African property startup Flow, which has developed an app that rewards tenants for good behavior, has raised a ZAR20 million (US$1.47 million) funding round to fuel its growth and add to its service.
And to give you a hint of what we’re developing in the next year, we’ll be putting even more focus on the rental journey from viewings, applications, and leasing — to help both landlords and tenants get the lease signed faster.
Did you know? Having successfully consolidated growth in South Africa, Flow is now launching in Australia. Boasting 90 000 agents and a housing market value of $9 trillion (R142 trillion), Australia offers a latent opportunity for us to change the way that people find places to live and work.
