The FURE’s slogan is “Utah’s free real estate and rental marketplace.” It lets you post free listings for Utah homes for sale and rentals. Unlike competing sites, all the information is there – like address and contact information (including and optional secure contact form which doesn’t reveal your email address) – so visitors don’t need to pay or sign up in order to visit and buy/rent your house/apartment.

The plan is to get 10-20% of free listings to upgrade (for less than $10/month) so their listings will appear above free listings in searches. The plan is also to reach page one for search engine searches for the most popular search terms, and collect tens of thousands of listings throughout the state.

If you have a blog, I’d sure appreciate it if you’d mention this in a post complete with a link to the site. That will help us move up in the search engine rankings and help everybody find their free listing service that much sooner. Thanks!!

We just changed the name (from Free Home Shop), added a blog, and did some design changes, and now I’m working on getting on to page one of Google for common searches like Utah homes for sale.

Having been a real estate agent and appraiser in the past, as well as a home buyer and seller, I designed the site to have everything for everyone. For example, it’s free. List as many homes or rentals as you want, no charge, no catch. Home buyers can search all they want and they don’t even need to register unless they want to use advanced search tools.

The idea is to get super-high volume as the word gets out and hope a lot of users upgrade their listings, which provides a few benefits for under ten bucks per month.

Anyway, we’ve built the better house trap. Now we just need to get the word out so world can beat a virtual path to our door. And yours if you’re selling a home or your a real estate agent.
