Jamshedpur, April 30: Looking out for a house or a rented apartment would no more be an uphill task as www.firstghar.com is here to help you out.

The portal, which starts functioning from midnight onwards, is being launched in beta form and is a brainchild of Infogate Exporters Private Limited, a Jamshedpur-based firm and the creator of the community website www.bhojpuria.com.

The real estate portal would comprise a database, from where the users can choose their suitable houses.

Almost 80 per cent ready, the portal would essentially cater to the needs of customers in Bihar and Jharkhand. It will be a place where prospective buyers and sellers can interact.

The portal would have an exhaustive list of builders, who can regularly post details about their upcoming projects to facilitate online booking.

Users can either look up the website or can post their requirement, based on which information regarding the house would be provided.

“We will charge a nominal amount from the builders. They can post all the details they wish to put up on the site against it,” said Sudhir Kumar, the managing director of Infogate Exporters Private Limited.

Characterised by highly interactive features, every registered builder would be updated about all the queries posted by customers regarding their projects. “A text message would be sent on their personal number as we do not expect the builders to visit the site everyday,” added Kumar.

The portal has been developed with the objective to facilitate real estate transactions at practically no cost.
