4. Verify your identity in just 3 minutes with Stripe

HomeHak distributed guidance from An Garda Síochána to deter the scourge of rental fraud and scams. We are determined to discourage bad actors from the HomeHak platform.

 

Stripe ID verification will be required for all letting agents on HomeHak from Tuesday 8th of November. It is already a requirement of Landlord and Homeowner members. It is a simple 3-minute process that will help us build trust in the community.

 

The “ID verified with Stripe” badge will be displayed on your profile, showing you are not a fake agent. It will provide extra peace of mind to home seekers and landlords. Here’s how to be verified:

If you have any questions about this new requirement, please let us know! We’re here to help!

 

5. Feature of the week for Letting Agents:

Sometimes, agents receive hundreds of applications for a single property. How can they respond to emails and phone calls seeking updates, even after renting the property? What about the dent to the agency’s reputation because it is not possible to update everyone?

 

Update everybody automatically with two clicks

With HomeHak, the agent can change the status of a property being let and automatically update all the home seekers who shortlisted or applied for that property:
