National Relocation a major real estate portal that offers many useful services when you are relocating to a new area or just in your own bakyard. Just launched their new rentals section with the new design. Owners, property managers and landlords can list their apartments for rent and homes for rent for free. Home seekers can search their database of properties for free as well. What a great resource for both!
Actually they have been pushing their new design in all their channels this whole week. They pushed real estate earlier in the week. It has great new functions like comparing mortgage rates, locating a Realtor, research information about schools and city data information as well. You can even find a foreclosure if you are looking for a bargain.
They will also be pushing the new design for their movers section this week. Next week they will be finishing the new design by adding Insurance including life insurance, car insurance and homeowners insurance. All the different types you will need when you are moving to a new area. More home buying stuff will be the home inspectors section and title insurance section.
This is definately a helpful and useful site when you are checking home values and researching different housing options for a new neighborhood.
