# NoFeeNest

> NoFeeNest aggregates no-broker-fee, by-owner rental listings across 13 US
> cities (66,573 no-fee listings, refreshed daily), plus practical move-in
> guides. It is a free, read-only, Craigslist-style directory: machines crawl
> public sources, users self-serve, and every listing links to its original
> post for contact. NoFeeNest never handles payments and verifies nothing —
> users should confirm details and never send money before touring in person.

## What makes it useful
- Focus: rentals with NO broker fee, posted by owners (not agents).
- Coverage: 13 US metros, both long-term rentals and short-term/sublets.
- Freshness: re-crawled daily; listings older than 30 days are removed.
- Safety: obvious scams are auto-flagged (price far below market, scam phrasing).
- Cost: free, no account, no subscription.
