Need help to find a flatmate? At Ziggie we have designed a system that is not only affordable but is also a dedicated site to connect people from all over Australia who are seeking a flatmate or a room to rent. So how can we help you? Read on to find out what makes us different.
One off fee: I'm not sure about you, but when I pay for something I generally like to get what I paid for. We believe it should be no different when it comes to advertising. This is why at ziggie you only pay one fee to place your ad. Your ad runs until you find a flatmate. There are no limited terms, ongoing subscription fees and no hidden costs.
Searching: We have designed the site so listings are only one click away. All major Australian cities are listed in the Quick Links box. Trying to find a flatmate that is a non-smoker, between 25-30, with no pets? Use the advanced search filter. Want to view listings posted today? Use the sort filter at the top of the search listings page to organise the listings.
Email Alerts: Don't have time to keep logging in to find a flatmate? Simple, create an account (register here) and then create an email alert. Add your criteria and your done. You will be emailed new listings matching your criteria and only your criteria. You can be guaranteed that you will not receive listings for Wagga Wagga if you are seeking a room in Sydney.
Advertising: Abbreviations begone! If you have ever tried to decipher: f/f hse, a/c lrg b/rm d/w s/srns, b/ins, emp prof fem, n/s, dlug, cls t'port - you will know what I am talking about. With a 2,500 word limit you can be as descriptive as you like.
With Ziggie you have the added ability of uploading photos and a video to your Ad. The location of your property will also be displayed using Google Maps. This provides the viewer with more information about the property and what amenities are in the area.
If you are concerned about your privacy we recommend that you omit the street number and just put in the street name. Also be selective over the types of photos you upload to our site. It is best to leave out the photos displaying the front of the property and the gigantic plasma tele. If you do not want strangers getting a hold of your email address and phone number, just check the "Prefer email only" box when placing an ad. All applications will be emailed via our site to your inbox, without having to display your email address.
As it is our business to help you find a flatmate we do not believe in hiding your Ad away to be viewed by "Subscribers Only." Anybody can view your Ad, not just the people that register with our site.
Premium Listings: need to find a flatmate or rent out a room urgently? No worries simply choose our Premium Listings option and your Ad will be highlighted and featured first above the standard listings.
Advice and Information: Need advice about how to find a flatmate? Go to our Help Centre page and our Blog. We are constantly updating it with checklists, news, advice and links.
Social Media: Keep up to date with all new listings, news and competitions by following us on twitter or becoming a fan on facebook. To make it easier for you to find a flatmate we have also have dedicated Twitter City Channels for the major cities within Australia (this fantastic idea comes from the lovely Zoe Freeman at zfweb). Trying to find a flatmate in Brisbane? Simply sign up to our Twitter Brisbane channel - @ZiggieBrisVegas and you will receive new listings for Brisbane only.
We are always interested in improving our service, so if you have any suggestions go to our feedback page, we would love to hear from you!
