High-Tech Features to Help Sell a House or Find a new Home
The old lawn signs do not suffice anymore. Dynamic brochures, visualization maps, satellite overviews, advanced search filters, personal statistics… here are a few examples of a new breed of high-tech features offered by Cytadia to help sell a house or find a new home in a digital age.
Montreal, QC (PRWEB) June 30, 2005 -- In an era where more than 70% of all
home buyers begin their search on the Internet, online tools helping home buyers
and sellers connect are essential and Cytadia offers them for free.
On the one hand, sellers want to catch the viewers’ attention and to
know if their ads can do so effectively. On the other hand, buyers must sift
through vast amounts of data to isolate interesting real
estate listings. Cytadia provides high-tech solutions to all these
needs.
For home sellers, Cytadia offers ads with virtually unlimited text
and pictures thanks to a dedicated web server and a proprietary engine relying
on PHP/MySQL technologies for automated listing and picture management. "From
our experience, the time to sell a property seems directly proportional to the
number of pictures included in an ad and the level of detail of its text
description" mentioned Nicolas Plouznikoff, co-founder of Cytadia. Cytadia also
enables sellers to access easy to understand personal statistics showing the
effectiveness of their ads. Finally, sellers can generate printable PDF
brochures on the fly and hand them out to prospective buyers visiting their
property to help them remember it.
To help home buyers, Cytadia has
enhanced its free community service by interfacing with other publicly available
web services like Google Maps. Users can seamlessly switch between viewing all their search results in a list or on a Google Map
on which color coded properties make it easier to find a home in a specific
geographic area, or to survey a neighborhood using a satellite image. Moreover,
thanks to custom advanced search filters, prospective buyers can gradually
refine their search in either display mode.
"By constantly listening to
its users and with its unique philosophy geared toward innovation, Cytadia is
rapidly becoming a major player helping house sellers and buyers meet online"
said Alexandre Plouznikoff, director of operations and co-founder of Cytadia.
"Our sustained growth in the last 6 months is clearly a testimony to this fact".
"Our goal is to continue to be on the leading edge of technological innovations
while catering to homeowners looking to sell a house privately, with no commission and absolutely no
hidden fees, or even to real estate agents looking to increase the exposure of
their properties".
