Why compatibility matters more than the listing in Birmingham
In a market like Birmingham, the listings are the easy part — plenty of rooms come and go around Selly Oak and Edgbaston. The hard part is finding someone whose schedule, cleanliness standards, and budget actually line up with yours. That's the difference between a lease you renew and one you count down.
Roomit is building a compatibility-first roommate matching experience: instead of swiping on photos, future matches will be based on the things that predict whether two people will live well together. Hamilton is the first launch market. See how the matching works.
