With thousands of vacation rental owners distributed over 100 global leading sites bringing over 25,000 happy guests since its inception, HomeRez is pleased to announce a fundraising of € 4 million. HomeRez is the brainchild of three former Booking.com directors that have identified a gap in the market for a service that helps the 3 million vacation property owners across Europe maximize rentals of their holiday homes. Homerez currently boasts a 250% growth in Q1 2016 for room nights booked and a 100% increase in revenue per home rental. Homerez connects vacation rental owners to hundreds of leading vacation rentals sites across the world (including Homeaway, Airbnb, Booking.com, Tripadvisor and many more). 

The fundraising was conducted with Entrepreneur Venture, XAnge and business angels, including Nicolas Brumelot (Founder Go Voyage, Founder MisterFly), David Roche (ex President Hotels.com) Pablo Szefner (Justfab) and Frederic Halley. The funds raised will be primarily devoted to technology, international expansion and developing new services to vacation rental owners. Another part of this funding will be allocated to HomeRez’s international expansion. This is the logical next step for HomeRez, who will begin opening new offices abroad later in the coming year.

Bertrand Folliet, Partner at Entrepreneur Venture, adds: "Homerez provides an effective solution to help holiday rental owners save time and increase their revenue. The extremely rapid growth in the number of clients working with HomeRez demonstrates the relevance of the service they offer. We have also been convinced by the founders who have a strong experience and expertise in the tourism industry."

Bartosz Jakubowski, Associate at XAnge commented “We believe people are now willing to feel like home when traveling, a feeling of authenticity in their lodging facilities. To this end, Homerez is bringing to individual homeowners what Booking brought to hotels: professional, immediate and hassle-free visibility and booking processes.”
