mls.ca to become realtor.ca
I like to CAPITALIZE the first letter of very word in my titles, but small case seemed better today. Anyway, yes, mls.ca will no longer be mls.ca although they will, of course, be re-directing you to the new site should you try to go there. mls.ca is to be re-branded as realtor.ca. The rational is to remove any misconception that it is thee mls and not the marketing site (and a very good one at that) that it really is.
realtor.ca Features
They say that all the existing "features" (I didn't know there were any "features") will be retained but that the new site will also include interactive mapping technology using Microsoft Virtual Earth technology (now that is cutting edge! HAHAHA!). The existing advanced search will be retained, but a new quick search option will be added. As well, you will be able search for commercial and international properties from realtor.ca.
realtor.ca will also include links to the howrealtorshelp website as well as the realtors® care site ( *** warning this site has sound).
Launching realtor.ca
The new site is set to launch on May 29th, but I've heard delays are to be expected. I am interested to see what improvements they've made and if they will come close to any of the U.S. property search sites such as Trulia.
