About us

We are a group of 5 graduate students with something in common, "time to spare". Instead of hooking up with girls in a bar or hanging out at a kopitiam drinking and complaining about life, we decided to get together and build this web portal. The idea of "HouseOnMaps" came about while we were searching for a place to rent. We found that it is not easy to find a suitable home with the right price. We scoured the www, and tried contacting agents but couldn't manage to find what we wanted. We felt there is something lacking and we did what 5 people with something in common will naturally do.......just do it ourselves.

HouseOnMaps is, and will, remain a FREE website for people searching for accommodation or wanting to purchase their own property. It is designed to allow users to easily search and find exactly what they want with all the necessary features in, and the unnecessary out. A mash up with Google maps seems to be the perfect fit.

HouseOnMaps will be beneficial to agents/landlords too. We hope that HouseOnMaps will achieve it's objective. Our motto will be our reference point -
"Helping the community is compulsory, profit is optional."
