Collaborate is an incredible new home search tool from the Toronto Real Estate Board that one can gain access to through an invite from Richard Tuck Real Estate. If you are one of those people who track the market closely and love spending hours clicking through Realtor.ca and other real estate search portals, then the infinite possibilities that Collaborate provides may well blow your mind. Collab takes the process of searching for a home to the next level. It allows users to search in real time, across any device and to set your own searches so you can receive notifications the instant a listing gets loaded onto the MLS system. Very impressive advantages.
In a hot market, like Toronto’s, where houses sometimes sell the very day they hit the market, speed and access is of the absolute essence. Those who are seriously searching need to know the moment a hot new listing hits the market otherwise it just might be gone. When an agent loads a listing onto MLS it can sometimes take 24 hours or longer before it becomes visible on Realtor.ca. With Collaborate users can set up Instant Notifications themselves so that they can be notified the moment a home that fulfills their programmed requirements hits the market. The next step would be to then request a showing right away.
Collaborate will be the only home search tool you need because it gives home searchers access to all of the listings hitting MLS and it provides the ability for users to receive instant notifications in a user-friendly, intuitive interface that can be accessed from any device. Wow. Today’s clients want control and through Collab they get it. Users can manage their own searches and also set the notification frequency. So if you want to be notified the second a detached, 4 bedroom, 3 bath home in Roncesvalles hits the market, you will be.
Speed of notification is the ultimate selling feature of this system. Yes the system has a ton of other great features but the real game changer and the reason we are getting all of our clients to use this system is because of the ability to set up these instant notifications. The minute, nay the second, an agent finishes loading a new listing onto the Toronto MLS system you can now know about it. You no longer have to wait until the middle of the night for that prospect match email to come in. Speed is the name of the game when searching for a home in Toronto. With Collab, your running shoes are on and you’re just waiting for the starter’s pistol to sound. Don’t let your dream home hit the market and be snapped up by someone else before you even know about it. Rest assured, you now won’t miss a thing.
