Introducing Collaborate
Search for ALL homes in Toronto in real time using any device
Collaborate is an incredible new home search tool from the Toronto Real Estate Board that one can gain access to through an invite from Allen Saghatchi Real Estate Team. 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.
It is as simple as this: If you are searching for a home in Toronto and are not using Collaborate you could well miss out on your perfect house.
To access and utilize Collab one needs to be invited to use the system. We can extend that invitation to you.
Features That Matter
Real time access
The very instant that a listing is loaded onto the MLS system by a real estate agent users of Collaborate will have access to it.
Search and access every single property on MLS
Collab pulls its information right from the board’s database so you will be seeing everything that an agent can see.
Lists
You can keep your home search organized. When you like or favourite a listing it gets added to your List Page. You can also create specific lists to help you stay even better organized. This is particularly helpful if you are searching with your significant other and want instant communication between one another. See, another advantage, Collab helps in spousal communication!
Manage and save
With the old system your real estate agent had to set up your searches. Collab allows you to set up your own. Users can save or modify their searches, as required. And yes, plural. You can set up multiple searches so you can have your Plan B or help keep an eye out for a friend or family member.
Users can Thumbs up, Thumbs down, Favourite and Comment on listings
They call it Collaborate for a reason. You are able to convey your opinions on listings by giving them a thumbs up or down, adding them to your favourites, or making a personalized comment. This information is then shared with your agent so it allows you to easily and clearly communicate your opinions on listings with your agent. The more your agent knows about what you like and dislike, the more they are able to guide you to your perfect home. It all gets well organized too. All the feedback and comments are put in one place so that should you need to reference it in the future you aren’t going through your texts and emails trying to find what you said about which house. Its all there, easily retrievable, in your Collab account.
Instant notifications
Users have the ability to manage the timing of their search notifications. They also have the ability to set up the frequency of the notifications.
Beautiful listing details
The design of the listing details page is fantastic. Photos are large, additional information such as a map with the nearest transit stops, a mortgage calculator and a list of similar listings is provided. They have really upped their game on the listing page.
Collaborate vs. Realtor.ca vs. All other home search tools
Nothing compares. Despite the fact that Realtor.ca and Collaborate are both industry provided, the tools don’t really compare. Neither does any other search site out there. Everything from the smooth interface, to the ability to access ALL listings on the MLS and the ability to get notified the minute a listing is loaded really sets Collab apart from any other system out there. It really is the only tool you need for your home search. Well, that and your Allen Saghatchi Real Estate Team of course.
