What the diaspora-friendly label means
It is a box the lister ticks, not a check Domicium performs. Useful as a filter, worth confirming in a message.
Where the label comes from
When a landlord or manager creates a listing, there is a checkbox: mark as diaspora-friendly, described on the form as remote viewing and payment supported.
Ticking it sets a flag on the property. It shows as a Diaspora-friendly badge on the listing and on the search card, and it is what the diaspora filter matches on.
What it is not
It is not a verification. Nobody at Domicium checks whether a lister will in fact do a video walkthrough or accept a payment from overseas before that badge appears.
The claims on a listing that have been checked are the verification tier and the individual checks in the evidence panel. Read the label as a statement of willingness, and the badge as a statement of evidence.
Treat the two independently. A diaspora-friendly listing at bronze has had less checked than a gold one without the label.
Using it well
As a filter it does a useful job: it narrows to listers who have said they are set up for a remote renter.
- 1Turn on the diaspora-friendly filter in search.
- 2Add a verification tier you are comfortable with — silver or gold.
- 3Open the evidence panel on anything you shortlist and check the dates.
- 4Message the lister and ask exactly what remote viewing and payment mean for this property.
