Globe says Rogers waves goodbye to Zoocasa

2015-07-03 08:08 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition on-line real estate site Zoocasa has relaunched under new ownership. The Globe's Seres Lu writes previously owned by Rogers Communications, the site was shut down last month. A group of investors has swooped in to save the site, which will be headed by Lauren Haw, sales director at scholarhood.ca, a site that helps families find homes in desirable school districts. Zoocasa originally launched in 2008 as a site where property agents would pay to advertise their services to buyers. It then expanded into its referral service, which let prospective buyers and sellers search for agents using detailed criteria, such as by language or type of property. It modelled itself after U.S. websites such as Trulia or Zillow. Ms. Haw did not disclose the purchase price or the identities of the other investors. The site plans to hire the in-house agents on an as-needed basis, beginning in the Greater Toronto Area. Along with maintaining services such as its home appraisal tool Zoopraisal and the exisiting mobile app, the site will also look to add new functionalities such as tighter search parameters, more frequent data updates and a school neighbourhood search ability.
