FindMyRoof.com released its latest update last night and it is a major release for our team within the past 6 months.

Here are some of the highlights in this release:

1. We have eliminated the category pages and the bread crumb on each page. The newly introduced navigation bar will provide users an easier and quicker way to navigate through the site. Now visitors can go into the property listing with just one click on the main menu, then can further narrow down the selection by choosing the property type, geographic location, and property features on the same page.
2. The newly improved Google map features show visitors all essential information on the spot if one clicks on a specific property.
3. There are some cosmetic changes as well to enhance user experience on our site.

How do you like these new changes? Good? Bad? Ugly? Feel free to drop us a line.

Internet amateur videos have proliferated by popular video sharing web sites, such as YouTube.com and Broadcaster.com.

If you can make a real good presentation of your virtual tour on YouTube.com, Broadcaster.com or other video sharing web sites, FindMyroof.com can incorporate it into your ad by our “Add Virtual Tour” feature.

Attract home buyers to see your ad by including a virtual tour to your ad. Don’t forget about this great feature!

As always, our goal is to maximize your ad presentation and make this free real estate listing site better each day.

It has been awhile since our last major update on FindMyRoof.com. Here is a little update:

Enhanced users experience:
The ad posting process has been streamlined! It is simple and straightforward. You can post your ad instantly.

New interesting features:

1. We have made the ad renewal step easier! This is a key feature that we often get feedbacks from our users. Renewing your ad can be done by just clicking on the link in the ad renewal email that we send to our ad posters 7 days prior to expiration. You are just one click away from extending your ad now.
2. We have increased the capability of uploading bigger size photos up to 4M.
3. Longer ad period. We have doubled the regular ad period from 30 to 60 days per cycle!

The creation of Findmyroof.com real estate business directory:
Our new real estate business directory is providing useful information on real estate related products and services. Quality and relevancy is our goal and we code name it “Suggest a Biz” real estate directory.

We are committed to maintaining the high standard of listings and give the online community a tool to find the best and the most relative information on the web.

We want to thank our users for their continued support and feedbacks that help make this free real estate listing site better. Please drop us a line for any comments or suggestions! We will absolutely appreciate it.

Anti-Spam Policy:

The following policies are followed by our editors to filter/delete any spam posting.

• Each ad must be for a specific property or location. Please do not advertise a general business, service or product.
• Please DO NOT post self portrait, company logo or image.
• Please DO NOT post duplicate ads or bogus ads to draw hits. You may be held liable for this type of activity.
• Please remove your ad promptly when your property for sale or for rent has been sold or taken.
• Please understand the “The Fair Housing Act” (you can find it here) and the housing laws in your state before posting your ad. Any ads that contains discriminatory housing preference is illegal and will be removed promptly.
• Currently we only accept properties that are in the United States. All foreign property ads will be removed promptly.

Our goal is to provide the best users experience to you and we take spam seriously.

We are pleased to announce our new instant flyer feature that we have created for advertising your property.

After posting your ad, you can choose to create a flyer based on your ad content in just one click. The flyer is in .pdf file so you will need to have Adobe Reader to view it, and print it out.

This is a great feature to save you time in creating a flyer from scratch and you will find it extremely easy to use.

FindMyRoof.com has added the Google map capability.

If a property has a valid address, it will be mapped on the Google Map. The “show on Google Map” link can be found on the property listing pages and search result pages.

We are using the Google map APIs and AJAX technology to make this available to our users.

The mapping however is not in real time and this is our Beta release.

Any thoughts or comments? Please do let us know.

FindMyRoof.com has added the RSS feed.

The RSS feed can bring our ad postings to your favorite Yahoo or Google home page and keep you updated with the latest.

Right now, we only have the feed for the new postings. In the near future, we will add state feed or category specific feed for more targeted requests.

Enjoy using FindMyRoof.com!
