REALTOR.ca promotes your member listings and the value of working with a REALTOR® to millions of consumers around the world every month. This December REALTOR.ca will introduce one of its most significant features, REALTOR.ca accounts, which will serve as a goldmine of valuable consumer insights that can help REALTORS® gain further understanding into digital real estate journey of their current and future clients.
REALTOR.ca account benefits include:
Access your Favourites from anywhere
Account users will be able to see their favourite listings from any browser they are signed-in REALTOR.ca.
Add Notes to listings to remember the things you love most
Account users will have an option to add notes to listings and the ability to share their notes with family, friends and REALTORS®. Recipients will see the notes when they are signed in to their REALTOR.ca account.
Save time with saved searches
Increase the number of saved searches from 5 to 50 allowing signed-in users to spend less time entering search criteria and more time interacting with REALTOR® profiles and listings.
Personalized experience
Map or Gallery view? Metric or imperial measurements? Each signed-in user will be able to personalize their experience to make it work for them, so they can focus on what matters most – REALTORS® and their listings.
