What Company Is Offering:
Pycasa is a vertical search engine for for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) properties.
Pycasa tries to solve two problems in the online FSBO market. First, Pycasa provides search results for the many FSBO sites already listing properties. We are in early beta and we are actively expanding our result set to incorporate these many different FSBO sites. Second, Pycasa displays all the relevant property information on the search results page so you don't have to traverse back and forth between the results page and the property pages to find what you're looking for.
