Listing site
Zeme vs. StreetEasy
It has the listings. It hands you the same filters and the same contact form as everyone else.
Where StreetEasy falls short.
You are the search engine, and you do all the work
Beds, budget, a neighborhood. After that it's tabs, refreshing, and racing thousands of other people to reply first.
The filters stop where your life starts
How long the train really takes to your job, what's on the block, which side of the street — there's no box for any of it, so you check by hand, one listing at a time.
Your message goes into a form
You fill in the same form thousands of others just filled in. No thread, no record of who you contacted, and nothing that makes yours the one that gets read.
Side by side.
Feature
StreetEasy
What you can search on
StreetEasy:Limited:Whatever has a dropdown. Beds, budget, area, a few extras, done.
Zeme: Yes:Anything you'd say out loud — the commute, the block, what's around it.
Location precision
StreetEasy:Limited:The neighborhood, or a shape you drew by hand.
Zeme: Yes:Streets are real boundaries. North of Grand means north of Grand.
Commute and what's nearby
StreetEasy:Limited:Whether the train really gets you there is yours to work out.
Zeme: Yes:Every listing timed door to door — over your limit, it's cut. What's nearby goes on the map.
Tracking and refreshing
StreetEasy:Limited:The same list every visit. What you've already seen is yours to remember.
Zeme: Yes:New listings flagged immediately. Listings you've passed on are moved to your passed list.
Reaching the lister
StreetEasy:Limited:A contact form into a pile of hundreds. No thread, no record.
Zeme: Yes:Zeme writes it, emails the lister, and introduces you directly.
Monitoring
StreetEasy:Limited:An alert that says something exists. Whether it's still there is yours to check.
Zeme: Yes:Zeme searches for you 24/7 and texts you when something new fits.
What it looks like when you search.
Feature
StreetEasy
“1BR in Williamsburg under $4,000”
StreetEasy:Limited:Beds, budget, neighborhood. The same three dropdowns, on every site, every day.
Zeme: Yes:That's the floor. Stop thinking in dropdowns — say what you actually want, and Zeme goes after it.
“under 35 minutes to Midtown on the train”
StreetEasy:Limited:A commute filter to one address, and that's where it stops.
Zeme: Yes:Zeme times the real trip from every listing to your door. Over your limit, it never reaches you.
“walkable to a grocery store”
StreetEasy:Limited:No box for it. You open each listing and check the map yourself.
Zeme: Yes:You see every grocery store around every matching listing, on the map. You decide.
“north of Grand Street”
StreetEasy:Limited:You draw it by hand, block by block — and again next time.
Zeme: Yes:North of Grand means north of Grand. Nothing on the other side.
“I've already looked at all of these”
StreetEasy:Limited:Hide them one at a time. Tomorrow you start at the top of the same list.
Zeme: Yes:New listings flagged immediately. Listings you've passed on are moved to your passed list — undo any time.
“did I already reach out about that one?”
StreetEasy:Limited:Your sent mail is the only record. Or you build a spreadsheet.
Zeme: Yes:Zeme keeps the list: which ones you asked about, and who it emailed.
“tell me when something new shows up”
StreetEasy:Limited:An alert that says something exists. Whether it fits is still yours to check.
Zeme: Yes:Zeme searches for you 24/7 and texts you when something new fits.
“email the agent for me”
StreetEasy:Limited:A contact form. Yours joins hundreds of identical ones.
Zeme: Yes:Zeme writes it, emails the lister, and introduces you directly — a real introduction, not a form.
Let Zeme take it from here.
