Real estate listings site expands

CityCribs, an online marketplace for New York City apartment rentals and sales, this week announced an expansion of its property advertising services to New Jersey, Miami and Los Angeles.

Property information for the new market areas can be accessed at the following Internet locations: New Jersey – http://new-jersey.citycribs.com; Miami – http://miami.citycribs.com; and Los Angeles – http://los-angeles.citycribs.com.

Users in these market areas can place free advertisements at the site for rentals and for-sale properties.

Homeowners, agents and brokers can post and manage property listings with up to five photographs and one floor plan. CityCribs offers several levels of advertising for homeowners and licensed real estate companies and brokers.

CityCribs advertisers can post their properties individually or with bulk RSS/XML feeds. For consumers, CityCribs offers free search, e-mail alerts, RSS feeds, map search and special home requests. All listings posted on CityCribs are distributed free of charge to Google Base and Oodle with additional network partners soon to be announced, according to the company announcement.

Founded in January 2004, CityCribs connects property seekers with real estate agents and services in the markets it serves. The company is not a real estate brokerage and does not collect a commission on sales. The CityCribs community includes thousands of registered members.

CityCribs plans to expand soon to the Boston, Atlanta and Chicago areas, according to the announcement.
