RoomsDB.net rOcks On!

Posted by Bobby Ong on Jul 24, 2007 in Reviews |

My dear friends,

One fine day, say if you decide to suddenly take the plunge down to Singapore to further your education (like me :)), what are the things that will make you spend time to worry on?

Choosing an educational institution like colleges, universities or polytechnics? Certainly. But what other things that you will have to factor in before relocating, the very thing that you have taken for granted all these years?

Is it a room and a bed to sleep in at the end of the day? Most definitely. But coming to a foreign location where you don’t even have much information on [tag]room rentals[/tag], how do you expect to get a value-for-money deal?

Or in other scenarios, if you are a local Singaporean/PR/foreign student/foreign worker looking for a new place to stay, at a bargain price by cutting out the middleman aka agents, where’s the best place to find good deals?

Introducing roomsDB.net - rent a room in Singapore

Whether you are hunting for a master room, a common room, a big [tag]condo[/tag] or a [tag]HDB[/tag] apartment, you can find it all at this website. [tag]RoomsDB[/tag] provides free listing for room rentals in an easy manner. It’s so simple to use, any primary school student can navigate this site.

Clicking on the Read Offers button brings me to this page where there is a whole long list of rooms listing. And what’s even cooler is that when I hover my mouse on a particular listing, all the important particulars will come out without me needing to do any clicking.

I find this feature extremely useful and saved me a lot of time. Great rite?

Ok, what if I’m totally clueless about the market price of rooms in Singapore? Well, well, well. Our good webmaster/founder Sebastian had came out with this new average price feature where if I hover my mouse on the price tag, it’ll show me the average prices of similar rooms that had been posted on the website. At least with this feature I have a better safety net of not being conned into an expensive room rental agreement.

Now, for those who want to rent out their property, roomsDB also allows you a simple and easy way to list your property without any registration. Just click on the Post Offer button and you will be instantaneously transferred to a form where you’ll just have to fill in the particulars of the room that you want to rent out. It’s that easy and the best part is everything is complete FREE OF CHARGE!

I like roomsDB. Sebastian, being a foreign student like me really knows what foreign students really need. Well, currently I’m still staying in a hostel, but once I’m done with hostel in a year’s time, I might need a room to stay here and roomsDB will be my #1 resource/research place.

Sebastian is great. He has the brains to realise that there is a huge demand for a user-friendly rooms rental portal and he has the guts and marketing technique to go all out to succeed. How I wish I can come out with some big idea like his and implement it…..

And he seems to be doing great. His site now lists Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong as microsites. And news is out that in a short time, Malaysia’s own version will be coming out soon too!
