We’re launching today a new tool that will help you find the best property according to it’s location and the places you visit everyday!
Developed for a BleuBlancRouge ad campaign targetting the Montreal QC market, this new feature will be available to all Canadian customers in the search results. They will be able to calculate the distance between different addresses and the homes available on ByTheOwner.com
Why such a tool? Isn’t it interesting, and even essential, to know the distance between your future home and your office? Your child’s daycare? Mom’s home? That sure is a big factor that you need to consider. Even more with the gas prices these days!
Built using the Google Maps geocoding technology, this tool was developed pretty quickly during last weeks, so if you encounter any problems, or have suggestions, we’d like to know! Leave us comments using the box below so we can make this feature something you’ll enjoy using in your search!
Thanks!

Here’s an advertisement that John Babic, our Barrie rep sent us today!
Gosh… talk about trying to be “cool and funny” by telling their clients they are idiots!
I wish they continue to advertise this way!

For a while now, all the properties sold through ByTheOwner are available under the View sold properties tab of the search results. Access to this information is a great tool to help home owners set up the price for their for sale property.
Our paying customers also have access to a special report of similar properties in the Your account section. Consulting this report usually gives a pretty good idea of the price that can be asked for your home.
I don’t know any other websites that gives those infos at the moment. This would be great for the fsbo trend in Canada!

Our clients actually have access to the number of visits to their listing. This statistic is usually really appreciated by our customers. Knowing this, we’ve decided to give them more!
Here’s what should be available in the near future under the “Your Account” section.
- Number of times the property is shown in the search results
- Conversion rate : Which proportion of the visitors are clicking on your property in the search result. This is a great indicator of whether your property is catching buyers’ attention or not.
- Visits from external referrers. This one lets you know where your visitors are coming from. This is really usefull if you managed to get your home listed in some classifieds websites.
