Nestio

Remember when we went Nationwide? That was exciting! And with that big announcement came a ton of really awesome features and improvements to the site. Let’s walk you through a few of our favorites:

• City Selection
  You can set your city now so we know where you are searching and show the most relevant, local information. Set it when you first sign up, and change it in your account settings whenever you want.

• Commute Times
  Wonder how far all those apartments are from your office? Now you can find out. Just add an address in the comparison table and easily see how far away they all are. (Currently in NYC, soon to be in your city!)

• Local News
  You can learn about an area when you read the local news. That’s why we’ve added some recent stories to every listing when we know the location. Now you can see what’s going on near your (maybe) new home!

On top of those, we’re also improved

Finding Listings - Easily do one search on multiple sites.
New Editing - You can edit any listing much easier now.
The Design - How do we look?

You can take a walk through these and some our other features in our new Site Tour. Hope these additions continually make your apartment hunt easier! ‘Till next time…

We’re so excited to announce that Citi Habitats, one of the biggest rental players in NYC, has integrated the +Nestio button on their platform to make it one step easier to organize your apartment hunt. By clicking on the +Nestio button on the top right-hand corner of any Citi Habitats’ rental listing, you’ll be able to instantly save these listings all in one place. Boom. Stress of apartment hunting, 0. Nestio users, 1.

So are you looking in NYC? Start searching for your perfect rental and check out the +Nestio button on Citi Habitats today!

Man, oh man. Exciting day here at Nestio HQ as we roll out our biggest update so far! Over the past several months, we’ve received tons of questions from folks across the country asking one very important question: When will Nestio be in my city?

We’re thrilled to say, that day is TODAY! Nestio is now open nationwide, from NYC to San Francisco and every city, suburb, and town in between. We’ve learned a ton from our amazing users already in NYC and are excited to meet renters across the country and hear your stories!

In addition to this, we’ve unveiled a brand spanking new design (Did you notice? Did ya?) and launched a partnership with our first national listings site, eBay Classifieds. You can now save any of their rental listings simply by clicking the +Nestio button from their site. We are lucky to have a great partner to share this exciting news with, and look forward to working together to help even more users organize their searches.

So there it is. We’ve been working really hard on these updates for the past couple of months and we couldn’t be more excited to bring them to you today. We hope you love the new design and look forward to meeting all our new users!

Catch ya on the flip side!

Dropping today, our new Demo Video! It’s animated. It’s awesome. And it has cats.

Check it out, we love it, and we hope you do too!

We’ve been very busy over at Nestio HQ working on some heavily requested features. We’re excited to have integrated Facebook Connect into our signup form and collaboration features. Now it’s super easy to not only sign up with one click, but to also invite roommates or friends to share your search. Just enter the name of your roommate or friend to invite them right away via Facebook. Super simple.

We’re also psyched to introduce sorting for all your listings. To date, all listings have been sorted in reverse chronological order. Now you have the choice to sort them by price, neighborhood, number of bedrooms, and favorites! We’ve heard this one get requested a lot, so we’re really happy to get it out there.
