roost.com Raises the Bar
June 4, 2009 by Emma Sorensen · Leave a Comment
US based property search engine roost.com says it has raised the bar when it comes to real estate search.
The company revealed the upgrades to the website in its latest blog post: “After a little more than a year, we are officially coming out of beta, introducing the new roost.com and hopefully putting a little fun back into searching for your perfect home.”
Changes include:
- new branding, look, feel and website redesign – pale green has replaced the bright orange
- new search widget, enhanced search filter and customised price range search
- stylish and information rich details pages for each MLS listing including photos, a Google map with integrated street view, comparable sales and a mortgage calculator
- an innovative “Expand the Map” functionality (see video below)
Roost’s CEO, Alex Chang, said:
“Thanks to everyone out there for all the great feedback during our beta period over the last year. I’m thrilled to see that reflected in this major update to Roost – highly integrated mapping, no more clicking out to view details & photos, and so much more. This is a big step forward for our company and we have so many more exciting things in the works for this year…stay tuned!”
A series of videos explaining the improvements are available on the blog post or at YouTube. Here’s one that explains the cool new “expand the map” functionality:
