FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I contact a landlord?β–Ό
Your first 3 contact unlocks, ever, are completely free β€” no card, no subscription. After that, get the Swift Premium Pass (2,000 XAF, 5 more unlocks over 30 days). Tap "Contact" on a listing to unlock both the landlord's own number and their caretaker/backup number instantly.
How does the WhatsApp bot work?β–Ό
Message our bot in English, French, or Pidgin describing what you're looking for. It searches the live listings database and replies with the closest matches in seconds.
How much does it cost to list my property?β–Ό
Nothing β€” it's completely free to list, room or commercial space, including a full 8-photo gallery. No commission, ever β€” whatever rent you collect is 100% yours. (A Swift Tenancy Transfer listing, where an outgoing tenant hands off their room to someone else, is a separate one-time 500 XAF fee.)
I unlock contacts often β€” is there a cheaper way?β–Ό
Yes β€” get the Swift Premium Pass (2,000 XAF, 5 Contact unlocks over 30 days), or Swift Max (5,000 XAF, 16 Contact unlocks) for that plus priority status and property technician coverage. Used those up too? Get another Pass or Max to keep going. Property Technician Marketplace unlocks are free for everyone right now anyway. Find these plans in the pricing section below, or at swiftshelterrealty.com/unlocks.
What if I unlock a contact and can't reach anyone?β–Ό
Message us β€” tap "Report a problem" right on the unlock success screen, or reach us directly on WhatsApp. If the landlord and caretaker/backup number both go unanswered, we'll make it right, usually a free replacement unlock. No ticket system, no waiting β€” a real person handles it.
Is my data and money safe?β–Ό
Payments go through MTN MoMo or Orange Money directly. We never store your mobile money PIN, and every landlord is confirmed before their listing goes live.
What is the Property Technician Marketplace?β–Ό
It's where you find verified, independent tradespeople in Buea β€” plumbers, electricians, painters, carpenters, masons, welders, tilers, AC/appliance technicians, locksmiths, cleaners/movers, and relocators. Browse by trade, check ratings and photos of past work, then unlock their contact to reach them directly. They're independent professionals, not Swift Shelter staff β€” you agree on price and terms with them yourself.
Is there a relocator or mover on the Property Technician Marketplace?β–Ό
Yes β€” "Relocators" is one of our trade categories. Filter by it to find movers for a house move, including tricycle operators for smaller hauls. Unlock their contact and arrange the job directly with them.
