Find a placeList your place
For owners, PG operators and brokers

List it once.
Confirm it in one tap a week.

Seven steps to put a room, flat, shop or godown up. After that, one tap every week says the place is still free — and that tap is what keeps you in nearby search while the listings nobody has touched in a month drop out of it.

Put your place upWhat it costs you

Nothing in FoundNow charges anyone anything today. There is no listing fee, no subscription, no commission, and nothing you can pay to rank higher — because none of it exists in the product.

Still available?

3 listings need an availability confirmation to stay in nearby search.

AvailableAvailable soonRented

One tap per listing. Marking one rented also tells everyone who saved it.

The wording of the weekly nudge, as the product sends it. It arrives an hour after your report, on purpose — the numbers first, the ask second.

The first question

What it costs you

The honest answer is short, and it is the same answer for one flat and for forty.

To list
Nothing. There is no listing fee and no subscription. No payment code of any kind exists in FoundNow — not a disabled one, not a hidden one.
To rent it out
Nothing. We take no commission and no brokerage. The public brokerage figure the site reports is zero because there is nothing that could make it anything else.
To rank higher
Nothing you can pay. Search ranks on eight signals and not one of them is money. There is no boost, no featured slot and no promoted row to sell you.
What it does cost
About a minute a week. Confirming the place is still free, and answering the questions a seeker would otherwise have to ring you to ask.
And if that changes

We are not going to describe a pricing plan we have not built. When there is one, it will be written out with the same detail as everything else here.

What it costs, in full

The second question

Seven steps, and the seventh is photos

The same seven on the phone and on a computer, because it is the same form. Your answers are saved as a draft before the photos step, so an unfinished listing is still there when you come back.

  1. 01

    What is it?

    Room, flat, PG bed, shop, godown, cold storage, banquet hall, parking slot, land. The form then asks that category its own questions and skips everything that does not apply.

  2. 02

    Where is it?

    Pick the building if you already have one on FoundNow, then the unit. Seekers get the locality and an approximate pin — never the address you type here.

  3. 03

    What is it like?

    Rooms, carpet area, furnishing, what comes with it, and the house rules: pets, smoking, couples, children, working from home, visitors, non-veg. Yes, no, or leave it blank.

  4. 04

    What does it cost?

    Rent, deposit, and the recurring charges — maintenance, parking, electricity, water, gas, internet. A charge you leave blank is shown to the seeker as undisclosed, never as zero.

  5. 05

    When can someone move in?

    Whether anyone is in it now, and the date it is free from. This is the field the weekly confirmation keeps honest.

  6. 06

    A last look

    The whole listing as a seeker will read it, before anyone else sees it.

  7. 07

    Photos

    At least one. The API refuses to publish a listing without a cover photo, so the button is refused here for the same reason it would be refused there.

    Publishing is also what earns Property verified. Ownership documents and a physical inspection are the two rungs above it, and both are reviewed by our staff.

Thirty-nine kinds of place
It is not only flats. Rooms, PG beds, whole houses, shops, showrooms, offices, godowns, cold storage, banquet halls, parking slots and land all have their own category, and the form asks each one only its own questions.
Verification is a ladder
Publishing with a real pinned address and a photo earns Property verified. The two rungs above it — ownership documents, and a physical inspection by us — are staff work, so not every listing has them and no listing gets them automatically.
You do not retype the second one
Copying an existing listing brings across everything except the unit and the photographs. Four flats in the same society differ by a floor and a number and agree about everything else.
Your window

Nothing runs forever, and nothing gets deleted

Every listing runs for a window you choose. Three windows rather than a free number of days, because a listing set to a year is indistinguishable from a listing nobody ever checks.

Shortest

7 days

One week up, then it pauses unless you put it back. Ends with a warning three days in, which is nearly the whole window — so pick this one when you are watching.
Best when you expect it to go this week.
Middle

15 days

Long enough for a slow week not to matter, short enough that a room that went does not sit there advertising itself.
A fortnight of enquiries.
Longest

1 month

Thirty days. Publishing again repeats whatever window you chose last time, because most owners put the same room up on the same terms every time.
The default, and what most owners pick again.

What happens at the end

  1. 3 days before

    You are told, with the date

    A notice naming the calendar date — “stops showing on 18 Aug” — rather than “in 3 days”. A date does not go stale sitting in an inbox.
    10:00 IST
    Mid-morning
  2. On the day

    It pauses

    The listing stops showing in nearby search. It is not deleted: the photos, the answers, the views, the enquiries and the comments all stay exactly where they are.
    04:00 IST
    Overnight
  3. Whenever you want

    One tap puts it back

    Publishing again starts a fresh window and warns you again on the new one. An owner who was away for a week should not have to type their flat in a second time.
A listing that vanishes with no notice reads as a bug.
FoundNow's listing-expiry service

Three days is deliberate. Warn a fortnight out and the room may go in the meantime, which teaches owners that the warning means nothing.

Monday, 08:00 IST

Your week, with last week beside it

An owner with three listings otherwise has no idea whether any of this is working. Enquiries arrive or they do not, and there is nothing in between.

Sent by email rather than push: six numbers do not fit in a notification, and an owner comparing this week against last month needs the old ones still in their inbox.

A report of six zeroes is worse than silence.
FoundNow's weekly-report service

So a week in which nothing happened sends nothing at all. A mail that arrives every Monday whether or not it has anything to say is a mail people filter, and that costs every future report too.

The same figures come again on the 1st of each month over thirty days, because a week is too short to tell a real change from noise. Both are switches you can turn off.

One tap a week

The tap that keeps you in search

This is the one thing FoundNow asks of you, and it is the whole reason a seeker believes what they are looking at.

  1. Monday 08:00

    Your numbers arrive

    The weekly report, so you open the app already knowing how last week went.
  2. Monday 09:00

    The ask

    One notification covering everything of yours that has not been confirmed in five days. It opens on a single screen with every listing on it — available, available soon, or rented, one tap each.
  3. Day 7, 03:00

    If nothing was confirmed

    The listing is marked unconfirmed and leaves nearby search. You are told, in those words, with what to do about it. It is not deleted and it is not paused yet.
  4. Second miss

    It pauses itself

    Two windows in a row with no confirmation and the listing pauses. Confirming it is also what un-pauses it — an owner who says “still available” has already done the thing the pause was asking for.
Why this is on your side
Every portal you have used lets a listing sit there forever, which is why seekers spend a week ringing numbers about flats that went in March. When those listings never leave, your genuinely free room competes with them for the same attention — and every seeker who gets burned trusts the next listing a little less. The sweep is what stops you paying for other people’s dead listings.
What it costs you to skip it
Availability is the single heaviest signal in search — more than distance, more than price. A listing nobody has confirmed scores zero on it. Confirmed today scores full marks, and that decays across the seven days.
Marking it rented is not a loss
Everyone who saved the place is told it has gone, which is the moment they come back and look at what else you have up.
Your leads

A board that stays readable

Every seeker who messaged you, and where they stopped. Six columns, and the counts at the top still mean something in month four.

Leads
Everyone who has messaged you about a listing.
Replied
You have answered. The clock on your first reply stops here.
Visit set
A slot you offered has been booked in the app.
Visited
They came.
Applied
They want it.
Booked
Done. Booked leads never decay — the place went to that person.

Stages are cumulative — somebody who booked also replied and visited — so the columns read as a funnel rather than as six unrelated piles.

Your reply speed is measured, not claimed

The gap between an enquiry arriving and your first reply is recorded on the lead itself. It is shown to seekers on your listing as “replies in”, and it is one of the eight things search ranks on. Nobody awards themselves a fast-replier badge here — a quarter of an hour is close to full marks, a day is close to nothing.

The quiet ones close themselves

A conversation nobody has touched in 30 days is not in progress. Three days before that, you get a notice naming the person and the listing. Then it moves to Lost.

  • Nothing is deleted — Lost is a stage like any other.
  • You can put it back from the Leads screen in two taps.
  • A booked lead never decays. The place went to that person.
  • The clock runs from the last change, not from when the enquiry arrived.
If you have more than one

Your buildings, shaped like your buildings

Twelve rooms in one house, or four flats in one society, are not twelve and four unrelated addresses. FoundNow models the building and hangs the units off it.

Thirty space types, with rules
BuildingTowerBlockWingFloorFlatHouseRoomBedShop unitOffice unitCabinGodownHallParking slotPlotand 14 more

The type comes from a fixed list on purpose. Left free, one owner builds Society → Level → Unit and the next builds Society → Story → Flat, and then search, filters and your own numbers quietly stop agreeing about what a floor is. Names stay yours: the type is TOWER, the name is Orchid Tower.

Why it is worth the setup

  • The fourth flat in the society points at the building instead of retyping its name, address and coordinates.
  • Forty listings cannot end up disagreeing about where they are, because they share one pin.
  • Twenty rooms in one building show a seeker as one pin and one row, at the building’s best status — so your building is not twenty near-identical cards somebody scrolls past.
  • Rows on a building page carry a “List it” that opens the form already pointed at that unit, so you do not walk the tower → floor → flat tree twice.
  • Copy last month’s listing and aim it at a different unit in the same link.
One flat? You will never meet any of this
Buildings are created as a side effect of putting a listing up. An owner with a single room is never asked to think about a tree.
Completeness

The score is out of 100, and all of it is yours

Every listing carries a completeness score on your dashboard. It does not score how nice the property is — it scores how well the listing answers the questions a seeker has to resolve before they will spend a Saturday travelling to it.

Photos28 of 100

Up to eight photos count, and how many different things you photographed counts separately. Eight angles of one living room is not eight photos of an answer.

Cost honesty18 of 100

The deposit, and each of the six recurring charges you answer either way. Saying "no maintenance" scores the same as saying "₹2,000".

The property itself16 of 100

Carpet area, furnishing, and what comes with the place.

Verification13 of 100

The rung you are on, from phone to inspected.

House rules10 of 100

Seven questions. Answering them is what stops a family travelling across town to find out the society does not allow pets.

Description8 of 100

Full marks at 200 characters, half at 60.

Light, noise and facing4 of 100

Three questions nobody asks until the visit.

Why this place3 of 100

Up to three highlights in your own words.

The boring fields are worth the most
Cost honesty and house rules together are worth 28 — the same as every photograph you will ever upload. That is not an accident. A beautiful listing that hides its maintenance charge and will not say whether pets are allowed still wastes everybody’s Saturday.
What it does not do
Completeness is not a multiplier on your views, and we are not going to tell you three more photos are worth a particular percentage — nothing in the product computes that. What it does is feed listing quality, which is one of the eight ranking signals and carries 0.07 of the match score. The heavy ones are availability and distance.
It is also a checklist
Read from the bottom up, it is the list of things a seeker will otherwise message you to ask — one at a time, in the evening.
What a seeker actually gets

Your listing is public. Your door is not.

Owners ask this before they ask anything else, and the answer is the same whether you have one room or forty.

They see
  • The locality, and a pin offset by 150 metres in a random direction.
  • Your name, and whether you are an owner or a broker.
  • How quickly you have replied to people, when there is enough to measure.
  • Everything you filled in: rent, charges, house rules, photos, description.
  • When the listing was last confirmed, in plain words.
  • Comments other people have left, including whether they actually visited.
They never see
  • Your address line or your door number.
  • The true coordinates. The offset is generated once and stored, so the pin cannot be averaged back to the real point over repeated views.
  • Your phone number. There is no contact swap in FoundNow, in either direction — the endpoint that used to do it has been deleted, not hidden.

Which means enquiries stay in the app, where the reply clock and the lead board can see them. It also means nobody can scrape a page and start calling you.

Brokers

You are welcome here, and you are labelled

This site used to say “no brokers”, which was never true of the product. What is true is that a seeker can tell the difference before they message anyone.

On the listing

Broker listing

A broker’s listing carries the word. It is not buried in a profile a seeker has to go looking for.
Shown beside the availability status, at the top of the page.
On an owner's listing

No brokerage

The other half of the same honesty. A seeker reading an owner’s listing is told there is no fee coming.
Shown only when the provider is not a broker.
Your fee

Stated up front, when you state it

If you write your brokerage terms on the listing, they appear on the page before anybody messages you. Nothing forces you to — but a fee somebody finds out about after the visit is a fee that costs you the visit.
A free-text note on the listing, up to 200 characters.
Said plainly
We do not currently block messaging on a broker who has left the fee blank. We would rather tell you that than claim a rule we do not enforce.
