New functionality on Royal LePage’s national website, royallepage.ca, provides front-and-centre details on how long it takes to travel between a desired neighbourhood and work or other frequently visited places.
Visitors to the site can use the “By Travel Time” tab on the homepage to enter a starting point, which can be a landmark, neighbourhood or specific address. For example, the landmark CN Tower in Toronto could be entered, or a neighbourhood such as Yaletown in Vancouver, or a specific address, such as a school. Once the starting location is set, a desired commute duration is entered, along with a mode of transportation, to begin the search. The result is a map, overlaid with property listings.
“We know that for many homebuyers, one of the biggest considerations is commute times,” says Carolyn Cheng, COO of Royal LePage. “The travel between home and work or a frequently visited spot really matters to people, and this functionality answers that need with ease of use and prominent positioning on our national website.”
