VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwire) — 10/12/11 — , Greater Vancouver-s new local online real estate search portal, today announces its beta launch.
First Locally – MLS® Resale and New Homes in One Online Portal
For the first time, local home buyers and sellers can search in one location online for both MLS® resale properties and new development homes. Another first, the site includes listings from all four local boards and associations: Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Chilliwack and Whistler. This enables home buyers and sellers to connect online with real estate agents and developers from Hope to Pemberton and the Sunshine coast.
Properties Plus Neighborhood Profile, Local News, Community Data and more
tightly integrates properties with community and neighbourhood profile information to help home buyers see nearby schools, mortgage rates, shopping, amenities, local news, stats, trends, transit and walk scores. Home buyers can search from anywhere (including on tablets and mobile devices), share search results via social media, save searches and set up alerts for new property listings matching area, price, or number of bedrooms.
“REW.ca was developed in recognition of the needs for home buyers, sellers, real estate agents, brokers and developers and their desire to connect in one convenient online destination. We-ve incorporated 30 years of local marketing experience through our newspaper with the best practices of online search to create REW.ca,” said Ian Martin, General Manager, REW.ca. “REW.ca-s team has collaborated a lot of time with the real estate industry to ensure we provide a smart, new local online real estate portal experience. Our beta launch enables us to continue testing while incorporating user feedback.
