Providence, RI (April 3, 2009) – Whether you are searching by size, number of bedrooms, or even proximity to work, school or a bus stop, finding a safe, healthy home that meets your needs just became much easier. Thanks to the efforts of Rhode Island Housing, The Housing Network of Rhode Island, the Public Housing Association of Rhode Island and Rhodes to Independence, visitors to HomeLocatorRI.net can now search thousands of listings for homes to rent or buy in Rhode Island with just a click of a mouse.
Collaboratively, these organizations created HomeLocatorRI.net as a free, easy-to-use resource for Rhode Islanders. The website, which is updated daily and supported by a toll-free, bilingual call center, is designed to provide comprehensive listings of available homes throughout the state that can easily be searched by specific criteria. It also provides useful tools, such as a rental-affordability calculator, a checklist of things to look for when searching for a home and links to helpful resources.
“HomeLocatorRI.net is designed to help Rhode Islanders find the home that is right for them – one that meets their needs, budget and lifestyle,” says Richard Godfrey, Executive Director of Rhode Island Housing, “It is more important than ever for people to carefully consider all the factors before deciding on a home and this site makes it easy by providing extended search criteria as well as rental and buying options.”
In addition to simplifying the search process for Rhode Islanders seeking a home, HomeLocatorRI.net allows for property managers and owners to easily list and manage all of their properties. Any rental property located in Rhode Island can be listed on the site. Homes for sale may be listed directly on HomeLocatorRI.net, if they qualify as affordable under state guidelines. HomeLocatorRI.net also provides a link to RILiving.com, a convenient resource where market-rate homes for sale can be listed.
