BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the first time, home buyers and sellers in the greater Boise area can now search like a real estate agent, have access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data, get information on current listings of homes for sale as well as past sales, view comparables, even use an innovative mapping system, thanks to Listingbook and the Intermountain MLS.
“As a result of our new agreement with Listingbook, the Intermountain MLS is now providing home buyers and sellers with the ability to search the most accurate, timely and deepest real estate information available – anywhere, just like an agent would,” said Greg Manship, chief executive officer of the Intermountain MLS.
Here’s how it works: real estate agents provide their buying and selling clients with access to their local Multiple Listing Service data via the Listingbook service, and in turn, agents deliver to consumers the most comprehensive and accurate real estate information they can find: all in one place.
For home buyers and sellers, this new service allows them to:
- Search the most accurate, timely and comprehensive real estate information available, just like a real estate agent
- Receive search results that are supplemented by public records, community and school information, taxes, loan estimates, shopping and recreation, and much more.
- Receive their free Morning Report, a daily e-mail snapshot of relevant market updates to their search, including: price reductions, new listings, competitive listing activity, and open houses, to name a few
- Use the most advanced searching capabilities, including custom drawing tools, pre-defined neighborhood boundaries, and even school zones
- Price their home right by staying informed of competitive listings and sales trends
- Collaborate online with their agent throughout the entire search and sales process
“Listingbook is unique because it is the only service where buyers and sellers can get all of the information they want and need when buying, renting or selling a home,” said Randall Kaplan, chief executive officer of Listingbook. “Buyers can now feel confident their search includes every home for sale as well as all of the information about the property and the neighborhood to help them make the right decision; meanwhile, sellers are no longer in the dark about their home’s true value because they can stay informed of competitive listings for sale, sales trends, and their own home’s performance as buyers view, favorite or reject the property,” Kaplan said. “Never before has this much information and insight been available to consumers.”
More than 180,000 real estate agents and their 1.5 million buyers and sellers are using Listingbook to search for their dream home and sell their current property. Listingbook has built a solid reputation as the system of choice for multiple listing services and their real estate agents, along the way recording double-digit growth each year.
