FlyRig.com - Finding Good Apts And Brokers In NYC

“Renting an apartment in New York City is expensive, time-consuming, and chaotic. It's our goal to fix these issues by creating a listing service where the community has a voice and trustworthy brokers are rewarded. We're building a set of tools so you can quickly assess a property by map, transportation routes, local interest information, pictures, and opinions shared by fellow apartment hunters. Since most of New York's apartments can be found through a broker, it's important that you connect with one you can trust. We're giving the community a voice by asking them to share their views on individual listings and the brokers they've worked with so you can get a better understanding of what's available. In addition, we've enabled the brokers to easily communicate with you so there's no time wasted.

We're not just a site with a searchable listings database. We're a service and community full of information you won't find anywhere else.”

FlyRig.com has a simple, clean interface which does not distract you from the site’s content. The logo is very clever and eye catching. The homepage features a google map of Manhattan, which you can change to display other New York city districts. Apartments are marked with icons so you can see where some of the listed options are located. Besides broker information you can be informed about community information that could help you make a decision about where you want to live. FLYRIG.com is a useful site for those looking for apartments in New York City.

Once you become a FLYRIG.com user you can communicate with other users on how their experience was using the site, but it would be nice if there were a testimonial section that visitors of the site could see so as to get an idea of how helpful it is. Are there email notifications for users so that if there is a new listing in an area they are interested in they can be informed?
