    One Site to Search and Sort All Apartments Available On The Big Sites.

    I have plans to make a site that scan all big site where you can rent a appartment.
    But what do you call a site like that in English? Maby someon can get some examples of sites in English that works like the site i have plans to do.
    This site shall not be for placing ads on appartments, just search avalible apartments in many different sites.

    BEST EXAMPLES I CAN FIND: http://www.mynewplace.com/ep/cheap-apartment-for-rent
    http://nycdwellers.com/

    How much money do you think i have to invest into a site like that with these features:

    Search features:
    [X] Towns or abroad.
    [X] Pricerange (Like Minimum $250 to $500 or $500 to $100
    [X] Size on the apparment (Like: 10-50 Quebec, 50-100 Quebec, 100-250 Quebec or 250+ Quebec)
    [X] Number of rooms

    This will be my biggest project so far and i got the best domain for this project.

    When they click search my site will go trough maby 10-20 sites and search apartments after they requirements on all 10-20 sites.

    How much do you think i have to pay to get this work done on Freelancer? (I cant search as i dont know what is the right word for a site like this.)

    Here are some examples, but as i said my said shall search other sites and show their appartments on my site, if they like what they found they click and get redericted to that appartment ad on their site.

    Examples:
    http://www.apartments.com/
    http://www.forrent.com/search.php
    http://www.407apartments.com/orlando-apartments.aspx

    ALL APARTMENT SITES IN ONE SEARCH!


    Sincerely R

    NoDepositer,

    I think that the term you are looking for is called an aggregator. You can have the developer you hire at oDesk or freelancer to create a script that pulls the relevant information from the sites you posted, and to cleanly display it on your site. I think that it might be an intensive project requiring a lot of tweaking, but take that with a grain of salt. If you need any further clarification please PM me.

    Best,

    Tezzell.
