MORE SEARCH OPTIONS IMPROVE THE HOME BUYING EXPERIENCE

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) works closely with its REALTORS^® to give buyers the best experience possible. CREA’s member listing services (MLS^®) website was developed to help buyers search and compare houses before visiting in person. A few years old, the website needed an update to accommodate the needs of the growing and competitive housing market.

To help homebuyers narrow their search, Akendi developed new parameters and redesigned the toolbar to accommodate more specific criteria, such as property type, price range, bedrooms, listing history and more. The map function and sidebar listings were redesigned to make it easier for buyers to search property types, and new icon sets were designed to help buyers quickly assess the suitability of a property. Akendi also helped integrate commercial listings into the site to meet the needs of commercial REALTORS^® and buyers.
