DENVER, CO, Jan 12, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –
Metrolist(R) has officially re-launched
www.REColorado.com , a
consumer-facing real estate search engine that’s similar to search
sites Trulia and Zillow but with more accurate and timely housing
information, offering Colorado buyers, sellers and brokers an
unrivalled ability to search for properties and open houses, find
local real estate agents and coordinate home buying searches with a
broker.
The new site offers simple yet powerful home searching capabilities
for Colorado homebuyers. The search engine incorporates a variety of
tools to help in the home buying process, including an aerial-view
map search with rooftop accuracy and parcel line overlays, custom
searches tailored to regional and market specifics, and enhanced
listing information with access to school and neighborhood data.
Through the site or a smartphone application, home buyers will have
easy access to:
-- Property Alerts - Property alerts notify you when potential properties
become available.
-- Open Houses - Search for local open houses to tour properties
first-hand with turn-by-turn directions.
-- Home Valuation - Check out your home's current estimated value.
-- Rentals - A searchable rentals database is coming in early 2012.
-- Realtors - Find an agent or office.
“For the first time, Colorado consumers and real estate agents have a
real estate search website that truly does it all,” said Metrolist
interim COO Kirby Slunaker. “Whether you’re a homeowner who wants to
value your home or you’re a homebuyer looking for the perfect home
buying experience, we offer the tools to get the job done.”
Metrolist selected Irvine, California-based Real Estate Digital, a
provider of integrated technology, media, and data solutions to the
real estate industry, to power its new site.
“Clearly, consumers with independent access to MLS data like listings
and open houses are much better informed,” said John Hensley, Chief
Product and Technology Officer for Real Estate Digital. “The new
search website will give consumers just that kind of access through
Metrolist’s individual brokers and agents. In the end, it’s all about
maximizing the consumer experience.”
Metrolist supports the largest network of Realtors(R) in Colorado
with the most comprehensive database of real property listings
throughout the Front Range. Home sellers planning open houses are
encouraged to have their real estate professional schedule the event
in the Denver-based MLS.
“Our new public website allows homebuyers to better coordinate with
their local real estate professional using the most detailed and
timely housing information, greatly improving on what’s currently
available in the marketplace,” said James T. Wanzeck, chairperson of
the Metrolist Board of Directors. “Providing the community the best
real estate products and services available is why Metrolist has
become the leading MLS in Colorado.”
