Project: RESAAS is a startup SAAS website and mobile site service that arose out of the poor web-based Real Estate offerings available in Canada. The goal was to provide an extremely user friendly service for both Realtors and their customers, such as to enable Realtors to create and publish property listings directly from their phone, to simplify the existing cumbersome Canadian ‘MLS’ system for property listsings, and to provide a rewarding customer experience of the Realtor’s websites, by making them map-based, easy to use, and providing key property information in a well presented manner. Since the original project that I was involved in, RESAAS has gone through a number of incarnations and is now listed on the Canadian National Stock Exchange.
