Search Listings for a Home
The List4Homes listings are extremely easy to use. The main page opens up onto a map of North America - just click the province or state where you're looking for real estate. This will take you onto a listing of all the cities in the province/state. Click on the city you plan to buy in, click search, and select the specific neighborhood you plan to search in, or just select 'All Neighborhoods'. Next screen, just select the the type of property you're looking for, list a price range, (or leave the field blank for all price ranges) and click search. Voilà! you'll be presented with a listing of all the houses in the neighborhood that are up for sale or rental. And that's where the real fun begins.
Detailed Information
Once you've got a listing of all the houses that fit the description you've provided, you can click on any one of them to get detailed information. Each 'Property Details' page lists some excellent information, and has a great section with photos of the exterior and interior that you can click on to enlarge. Additionally you get a Google Map Inset so you see where the house is located.
Here's an example of what one of the Home Information Pages looks like:
If you look at the scrollable side-bar, you get a complete portfolio of photos, taken from both the interior and the exterior of the house. You can browse through the photo gallery, clicking on each picture to see an enlarged version.
Beneath the map, (not visible in this screenshot) is all the information on the house and the location that isn't provided above. And if you happen to have any additional questions, the owner or realtor's phone number is prominently displayed.
Listing Your Home for Rent or Sale
If you thought getting information off the List4Homes website was easy, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to list your property for rent or sale. All you need to do is create an account and add a listing. You'll be asked to fill in a one-page form, upload any photos of the property you have, and that's it, your property is listed! There are no charges, no 'special listings' that will always appear above yours, no inappropriately-placed, irritating ads to guide users away, just a clean, simple, easy-to-use, searchable listing of properties, where your property will stand out just as much as anyone else's. There are no underdogs, and no privileged listings. Just listed properties, and those seeking property for rent or purchase. Clean, simple, and best of all, completely free!
Why List4Homes?
List4Homes is a fresh concept in the real estate market, and the site is relatively new. Most of the listings so far are in Canada.
The western U.S. states are up and running ,and the rest of the United States is coming. The site is up-and-coming, and poised to grow quickly. But if you're still not convinced that List4Homes is the place to go, here are some things to consider:
Other sites that offer listings are either only for realtors or homeowners. This site is open to everyone, whether professional realtor, homeowner, or the owner of another site. That means that List4Homes.com has the potential to offer a far larger pool of homes. If you're looking for a place to rent or buy, that is a huge advantage.
If you're listing a home for rent or sale, you want to consider that other sites such as Comfree can charge up to $994.00 for a listing. Those that do offer listings for free give you the option to buy a 'premium package'. If you don't, your listing will come in last, after all the premium listings have been shown.
In short, List4homes.com is a great new site based on a fresh and innovative concept. It's the place to be for online Real Estate.
