After selecting the area you want to live in (Manhattan for example) you’re taken to a page clearly listing information on the different properties in that area. When you mouse over the different apartments google maps smoothly zooms to the apartments location on the map. It’s a wonderfully clear and concise way of looking for a place to live.

We’re trying to improve the rental process here in New York. The tight market
results in misinformation and opportunities for unscrupulous agents – things
that are frustrating to both renters and agents who work hard to build trust
with their clients. In addition, there lacks a modern solution for finding
apartments in the city – the most popular listing services either lack mapping
capabilities or supporting information commonly needed when deciding on a place
to live.

FlyRig was self funded by Adrian Liang. He works on the site full time along with one other part-time employee and two occasionally used contractors. Since launching in December 2007 they’ve signed up over 250 brokers from some of the largest agencies in the city.

It’s a really nice little service. The system could presumably be expanded into other cities without too much effort.
