Neighbor connects individuals who have unused space, like garages and basements, with those looking for affordable storage options. The platform allows homeowners to rent out their extra space, providing a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional self-storage facilities, often at half the price. Unlike conventional storage options that come with high costs and strict contracts, Neighbor offers a peer-to-peer model that meets the high demand for storage in the U.S. market. The company earns revenue by taking a percentage of the rental fees, creating a win-win situation where hosts can earn monthly income while renters benefit from lower prices. Neighbor focuses on creating a secure and trustworthy environment for all transactions.
