ZippyListings – Free Property for Sale Listing
For those selling property in the United States or Canada ZippyListings provides free advertising space. Properties are listed according to country, city, whether they are for sale or rent, total size, price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the owner’s name and phone number, a 200-character description, and a link to a website.
The same criteria can be used by people searching for a property to rent or buy. With 300 cities this is a comprehensive site, and it would be nice to see similar websites for more countries. The front page also draws attention to the most recently listed properties so you can see if any new ones have arrived in your desired area and price range. Along with the property information ZippyListings also has a fairly new blog where some community building could add to the site.
ZippyListings can automatically help advertise properties by autoposting your information to Twitter and, according to their description, to dozens of other sites. The site is being built, so it’s possible to ask for extra cities to be included. The cities with most activity and listings are selected as Top Cities, and the Blog is updated by the designers with information about how it works and new developments.

Gloveler – Find Accommodation Across the World
Gloveler is a site offering rental estate services to people around the world. The service is free for both the travelers and hosts in the way that the owners can advertise their accommodations and prospective customers can search and rent the same.
The owners can post ads detailing all the facilities and perks which would be expected by a customer. There are no up front charges for posting ads. The site works on a commission basis of 10 percent which will be collected once a booking is made by a customer. Once a booking is made, the contact details are released and the parties can contact each other directly.
The site uses a secure payment system like paypal which allows the funds to be transferred to the owners in an efficient, fast and secure way. This could well be the next big idea in the travel industry.
RentJungle – Find affordable living
RentJungle aims to be the search engine and resource for all your rental needs.
The site has a really simple and intuitive interface displaying a map of the USA. Just click on the place where you are planning to move and the site will return the rental housing options which are available in that particular area. The search can be by state, city or even a university/college locality. Students will love it as our searches located apartments under $80 within minutes.
The results can be filtered using price ranges, number of beds or baths and can be sorted. Sometimes duplicate results are generated as the site takes information from other sources on the internet.
One nifty feature is the articles area where you can find information about rentals, insurance, leasing and even roommates (or how to choose a good one).
A handy site to visit for those who are planning to make a move to another place and want to have an estimate about the prices and the facilities you can expect.
