How BOOM works

Half portal. Half agency. Then a concierge.

Most platforms show you listings and leave. Most agencies show you three flats and their own interests. BOOM is built as both halves at once — the software of a portal where software is honest, the accountability of a licensed agency where a person must answer — and after the keys, we stay.

One platform · three jobs

What each half does for you.

The portal

Browse like software.

Everything a portal should be — with the tricks removed.

  • Real availability dates — and when we don't know, the page says “ask us”, never “available now”.
  • Honest map pins — exact only where the address is verified; otherwise the page says it's approximate.
  • Skyline — the whole catalogue on Rome from above, with walk-times to the places of your life.
  • Hold a home online — €300, refundable, 48 hours off the market while you decide.
The agency

Signed like a professional.

A licensed Rome agency stands behind every line.

  • Every home walked in person before it reaches the catalogue — never a stranger's photos.
  • A registered contract (L.431/98) with the Agenzia delle Entrate — signed from your phone.
  • One fee, written first — 10% of the annual rent, once. Every euro through Stripe, receipted.
  • Deposit filmed in & out — its state is a recording, not an argument.
The concierge

Landed like a local.

The part that starts where the others finish.

  • A named human who replies on WhatsApp within 2 hours — not a form, not a queue.
  • The home's manual in your pocket — Wi-Fi, heating, waste days, who to call.
  • Your landing handled — codice fiscale, utilities, residency: the Welcome to Rome guide walks you through.
  • Rent that runs itself — card or SEPA, a receipt for every payment, maintenance from your portal.
The route

From “I need a home” to keys — and past them.

Six stops. Our fastest move-in took 48 hours; your pace is yours.

1

Find it — or brief us

Day zero

Browse the catalogue like software — real dates, honest pins, Skyline from above. Nothing fits? Property Finding hunts the whole market for you, off-market included — €350, refunded in full if we don't deliver.

2

See it live

From anywhere

A live video viewing with you asking the questions — free on every BOOM home, always. Your appointment arrives like a flight: calendar invite, Wallet boarding pass, reminders at the right moments.

3

Hold it

Optional · €300

One tap takes the home off the market for 48 hours while you decide. Deducted from your first month if you move in — refunded if you're not approved.

4

Sign from your phone

No printer · no office

Terms laid out in English first, with every figure in writing. Then the registered Italian contract (L.431/98), signed from your phone and registered with the Agenzia delle Entrate. Every euro through Stripe, receipted.

Where every euro goes →
5

Keys day

Move-in

Keys handed over against a written report — meter readings, photos, signatures on the spot. The flat is filmed, so the deposit's return is a recording, not a negotiation. The home's manual lands in your pocket.

6

Live — with us on call

The part others skip

Rent by card or automatic SEPA, a receipt for every payment. Maintenance from your portal, answered by a named person. When your lease ends: final walkthrough against the move-in footage, deposit back.

Drawn lines

What we don't do.

A promise is only worth the limits declared next to it.

No homes we haven't walked If it's in the catalogue, someone from BOOM has stood inside it. No scraped listings, no stranger's photos.
No cash, ever Every euro moves through Stripe or bank transfer and lands with a receipt. Nobody will ever ask you for cash in an office.
No invented urgency Availability dates are real. When we don't know one, the page says “ask us” — it never says “available now” to hurry you.
No fee surprises 10% of the annual rent, once, written before you apply. There is no fourth line at the table.
BOOM, in brief
  • Rome rentals for internationals — English-first, run by Egidi Immobiliare S.r.l., a licensed Rome agency (BOOM® · EU trade mark 019317594).
  • Live catalogue with real availability dates and honest map pins; video viewings free on BOOM homes; €300 refundable hold.
  • Registered lease contracts (L.431/98) signed from your phone; one fee — 10% of the annual rent, once; every payment through Stripe, receipted.
  • After move-in: home manual, maintenance portal, rent by card or SEPA, deposit filmed at move-in and move-out.
Before you ask

Quick answers.

Can I rent a Rome apartment before I arrive in Italy?

Yes — most BOOM tenants do. Viewings are live on video, the contract is signed from your phone, and the refundable €300 hold keeps the home off the market while you decide. You can land in Rome with keys day already booked.

Is the contract legal and registered?

Yes. Every BOOM lease is a registered Italian contract under law 431/98, filed with the Agenzia delle Entrate. You sign from your phone and receive the signed copy by email.

What does BOOM cost?

One fee: 10% of the annual rent, charged once at signing. First month and deposit are the only other lines — and the deposit comes back, filmed at move-in and move-out. Every payment goes through Stripe with a receipt.

I found a home on another portal — can you still help?

Yes. A Virtual Viewing (€89) tours it live for you with the red flags said out loud, and Deal Assistance (€249, fixed) verifies the landlord and the papers, then negotiates. The viewing fee is credited if you end up renting with us.
