Why Gander?

Informative

Our tours are not just typical walkthroughs. We check for a comprehensive list of items to help you get the full picture of the place including things that may not be visible from the listing.

Convenient

Enjoy the experience of a thorough tour from the comfort of your home or anywhere else in the world. With Gander, quickly narrow down options based on information you can trust.

Trusted

Gander tours are hosted by fellow neighbors who have firsthand experience living in the area. Because we are not affiliated with landlords or their agents (or any party in the transaction), we have no incentive to hype up only the best aspects of the apartment while glossing over the realities that could be deal-breakers.

We don't sell. We show.

Gander provided me with a great service that greatly influenced my decision to apply to the apartment.

I used Gander to confirm my suspicions that I was being scammed on Facebook. This service was exactly what I needed to check the place out.

I wanted to see the unit essentially "unedited."

I would recommend Gander to anyone apartment searching from out of town! It's hard to tell the state of a unit from pictures, and Gander tour allowed me not only to confirm that it was real, but to get a good sense of the cleanliness, layout, and livability. They also checked things I wouldn't have thought to ask about, such as water pressure. It was extremely helpful and very reasonably priced!

An agent only shows you what they want to show - with Gander you have someone on your side to find out everything there is to know about the place.

Even if I could check the apartment in person, I would use this service because they are more thorough than I would be.

Gander was so easy to use with a click of a button and they did a better job verifying the place than I would! They showed me everything from water in the sinks to closet space in each room. I highly recommend if you are out of state/country or if you're just busy.

I am in Tokyo and I have no intention of renting an apartment sight unseen. Gander came highly recommended from the research that I did on reddit, more thorough than I would be.

Gander provided me with a great service that greatly influenced my decision to apply to the apartment. I appreciated Tim taking the time  to record walking from the subway to the unit, giving honest feedback and helpful tips, and answering all the questions I had about the unit.

Gander was so easy to use with a click of a button and they did a better job inspecting the place than I would! They showed me everything from the neighborhood to the water in the sinks and tiny little marks. I highly recommend if you are out of state/country or if you're just busy.

Press & Blog

“I checked the water pressure, the number and location of outlets, and how the light filters in on a cloudy day. Except I wasn’t actually checking anything; I was sitting on my couch, miles away from Fort Greene, watching the apartment tour on Zoom”
