How it works

Three steps. About forty-eight hours. One roommate you actually like.

  1. 1

    Tell us about you

    A short intake covers lifestyle, budget, dealbreakers, and your move-in date. Honest answers beat impressive ones — this is how we keep matches from blowing up.

  2. 2

    We match you

    Real humans on our team review every profile and pair you with someone genuinely compatible. No mass swipe queue, no algorithmic guesses dressed up as matches.

  3. 3

    Move in confident

    Verified intros, both sides consent before connecting, and we’re reachable if anything feels off. You sign a lease, not a coin toss.

The gap nobody talks about

Students sign leases in February. They don’t meet their roommate until August.

Six months of waiting. Six months of asking “who am I living with?” and hearing “we’ll tell you closer to move-in.” Six months of anxiety that turns into front-desk complaints and first-week conflicts. MatchNest closes that gap — students sign their lease already knowing who they’re living with.

Subleasing — or looking for a sublease?

Same concierge model, applied to subleases. You give us the details; we find the right person to take over your place — or the right place for your semester. The apartment complex handles the paperwork.

I had a great experience working with Mike as a sublease matchmaker. He was professional, responsive, and truly effective in helping me find someone to take over my lease. The entire process was smooth and much less stressful thanks to his support. Mike clearly knows what he's doing and takes the time to match the right people. I really appreciate the effort he put in, and I'm very happy with the outcome. I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone looking for help with subleasing!
