What they’re saying

“REALTOR.ca DDF® has allowed us to integrate with a single data provider and unlock all of Canada as a potential market for our business. It has also given members from smaller boards who may not have the in-house technology required to allow their agents to have automatic listing functionality on their websites and the ability to operate on the same level as their larger market colleagues.”
