OUR BUYER’S GUIDE TO EFFICIENT REAL ESTATE IS UNIQUE. HERE’S WHY

TECHNOLOGY

We focus on offering you the latest technologies available in the industry. Check out our Property Resources Page for comprehensive access to the Multiple Listing Service and the thousands of homes that are available there. In addition, our instant e-mail notification system allows you to receive emails the second that a home is listed on the market that meets your criteria.

We’ve also recently rolled out our latest innovation – a mobile app called GoMLS. It allows you to search through properties, save listings, and communicate with our agents when you find something you like.

COMPREHENSIVE HOME ENERGY ASSESSMENTS

We’ve partnered with PUSH Green of Western New York as a way to incorporate Free or Reduced-cost Comprehensive Home Energy Assessments and green renovation resources into the real estate transaction. From that assessment, you’ll be provided with a list of improvements you could make to ensure you have a more energy efficient home. For further details, visit our Making your home green! page.

FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS

Our multiple listing service (MLS) is undergoing a process called “greening the MLS”. This ongoing process will add more green data fields. By utilizing these green data fields, we have the ability to find you a home based on your core criteria as well as your desired green criteria. In the future, not only will you be able to find a “green home”, but your agent will be able to make accurate price assumptions about homes with green features.
