01 · Why we vet, and how

Why we vet, and how.

The homes in the Avenor network are shared. Members come into each other's space — sometimes literally, in a home one of them booked first, sometimes through a guest the other has sponsored, often only in the trust that the next person through the door is the kind of person they would want in their home. That trust is what the membership pays for, in part. It is what the brand protects.

So Avenor reviews each application carefully. A real person — at this scale, usually the founder — reads what was submitted, sometimes asks a question or two by email, and sometimes asks for a short conversation by phone. The point is not to be exhaustive. The point is to make sure the network stays the kind of network its members joined.

What we look for is fit and seriousness — that the applicant has thought about Avenor, knows what they are applying to, and would be a member their fellow members would be comfortable sharing a home with. We do not look at income, status, profession, or any of the things a serious membership is sometimes mistakenly imagined to weigh. The pricing has already done the work of selecting financially. The application is for the human part.

Briefly — what draws you to Avenor, and how do you imagine using it? A few sentences are enough. There is no right answer; we are trying to picture how Avenor fits your week.

If it was through a member, their name helps us. If not, the source is fine.

Someone who can speak to who you are — an Avenor member, a known professional contact, anyone whose word means something. Optional, but it helps the review.

You will hear from us within two weeks. The first response is a conversation, not a contract.
