Wahi App Creates Ultimate Home-Hunting Experience for Couples
–
Wahi’s house-hunting app for couples allows them to get recommended property listings, share homes they love, and book showings together.
TORONTO — March 18, 2024 — Today, Wahi launched the ultimate home-hunting experience for couples on the Wahi app that takes the homebuying journey to the next level. The new feature streamlines the communication process between partners to help find homes they both agree on faster and more efficiently. Now couples can keep track of each other’s favourite listings and receive recommendations as co-buyers — all in one convenient place.
Through the enhanced app, couples can also schedule house tours together, keep track of showings, chat with each other and their Wahi REALTOR®, and receive alerts about properties each other likes or when a showing is booked.
Buying a home is a big step financially, and can put strain on even the most solid relationships — especially if the couple have different tastes or priorities. The ability for both partners to see which homes they’re aligned on — and receive recommendations for homes that match their mutual preferences — ensures a smoother and less stressful home-hunting experience for everyone.
“A significant number of homebuyers — 77% — purchase a home with a partner, often as a couple. The ability to browse homes collaboratively and communicate instantly about the homes you like is a game changer,” says Benjy Katchen, CEO of Wahi. “Wahi’s app is the ultimate home-hunting solution for couples. It eliminates the need to keep track of multiple emails and texts about property listings. Plus it saves time by providing personalized recommendations based on shared interests, finding common ground while still respecting individual preferences.”
The real estate industry hasn’t always been the fastest to evolve, but Wahi is helping change that to create a better homebuying experience. “Consumers today have digital services they use in their day-to-day lives —whether that’s streaming a movie, booking a ride, or planning travel,” adds Katchen. “Our goal as a leading digital real estate company is to bring that same amazing digital experience to Canadians so they feel like they have a real estate co-pilot in the palm of their hands.”
The Wahi app is available on the App Store and Google Play, offering the best personalized search experience.The app comes with a range of features, such as recommended listings, customizable geozone creation by drawing on the map, instant alerts about new listings and sold transactions*, and the most accurate home value estimate tool*. Use the app to chat with your Realtor on the go, instantly book and keep track of all showings in one place.
