Hello, Singapore! 👋🏻🇸🇬

Today, we are thrilled to launch Hozuko – a platform that empowers landlords to advertise and rent out their properties directly.

Hozuko was born out of our founder’s frustration with property portals that serve only licensed agents, leaving those who aren't agents without a proper avenue to showcase their rentals. Hozuko fills an important gap for landlords who wish to advertise their rentals directly.

Why Hozuko Was Created

For too long, landlords have been forced to rely on platforms like Facebook groups, Facebook Marketplace, or Telegram channels to find tenants. These channels are often cluttered with irrelevant listings and an overwhelming number of agent listings that often bury genuine direct-landlord offers. The result? Renters face a confusing, frustrating search experience, and landlords miss out on quality inquiries.

Our goal with Hozuko is simple: to make direct-landlord renting as hassle-free as possible. Our platform cuts through the clutter to provide a cleaner, more focused experience for both landlords and renters.

How Hozuko Addresses the Problem

For Renters

  • Easy Search: Hozuko’s search and filtering tools help renters quickly find the right property without unnecessary distractions.
  • Better Visibility: Direct-landlord listings no longer get lost among agent postings and/or irrelevant listings. Renters can confidently browse properties that are verified and directly managed by the landlords.

For Landlords

  • Direct Communication: Landlords can advertise their properties without needing a licensed agent, using either detailed contact information or our built-in chat feature.
  • Built-in Trust: Our identity verification process helps assure renters that they are dealing with genuine landlords.
  • Future Enhancements: While Hozuko currently offers a straightforward marketplace, upcoming features like viewing scheduling and contract management will further streamline the rental process.

Who Should Use Hozuko?

If you fall into any of the following categories, you should advertise your property with Hozuko:

  • Landlords: You own a property and wish to rent out your property directly without agent involvement.
  • Lease Takeover Situations: You're a current tenant looking to transfer your lease.
  • Looking for A New Housemate: Your housemate is leaving so you need a replacement.

A Note for Property Agents

We recognize the important role property agents play in the market — especially when it comes to buying and selling properties and managing the logistics of tenant viewings, communication, and contracts. While some landlords rely on agents to avoid these hassles, others prefer a direct approach to renting. It is that latter segment that Hozuko aims to serve.

Therefore, Hozuko is not intended to replace agents; rather, it complements traditional methods by catering to an underserved market segment.
