In an effort to make real estate shopping more accessible, flexible and convenient, Royal LePage Real Estate Services has launched a new mobile site for Android, iPhone and BlackBerry mobile devices.
The site will provide both information about listings and neighbourhood data, as well as feedback and comments from agents and residents that know the neighbourhood inside and out-giving this tool some personal context.
This tool has been nicknamed the “Neighbourhood Navigator”, which Royal LePage describes as the combination of” seller and agent comments ... with neighbourhood "walkability scores" and consumer rankings of nearby businesses to provide valuable insights for users.”
Furthermore, users can take advantage of GPS to position themselves in their targeted neighbourhood, helping them find useful items like open houses and neighbourhood amenities like schools, banks, grocery stores, restaurants and cafes.
“Buying a home is often the largest financial decision Canadians will make in their lifetime," said Phil Soper, president and chief executive, Royal LePage Real Estate Services. "To help prospective buyers make informed decisions, our new mobile site allows users to gain extra insights from the seller about their home and comments from the agent about the neighbourhood."
"While it will take some time to get the seller and agent comments populated, we have many advanced features to serve as the backbone for the mobile site," added Soper.
"The future is mobile and we're pleased to offer homebuyers and sellers the ability to access valuable real estate information right from their mobile devices," said Soper.
