Nestoria - smart house search
Nestoria is a vertical search engine focused on real estate with operations in UK and Spain. Founded by a few Spaniards -amongst which friend and former top dog for Yahoo Search Europe Javier Etxebeste- it aggregates information and data from other vertical engines and estate agencies, properly and smartly aggregate and present in a pleasant way. Extremely easy and intuitive to use, not useless bell and wistles, it gets the job done, nice and quickly.
The search results page has the classical drag and drop map with icons on where relevant houses are located. A big button allows to update the search every time the focus of the map is moved. Usual filters: price and number of bedrooms, sale, rent and flat-share.
A click on any of the icons on the map shows a summary of the house details, and a click on this little window will redirect you to the real estate agent website. That is what triggers monetization (and therefore revenues for Nestoria).
A very interesting feature is the information box in the bottom-right of the site. It brings you all sort of interesting information about the area: census, political, parking lots and prices, pictures of the area and, very important considering its focus is on UK, pubs and their ratings.
But probably more interesting of them all are the historical offer prices for different type of flats/houses in the area. You can have a front seat watching house prices going down
