Offering hyper local real estate search for Metro Vancouver, REW.ca is honoured by the Web Marketing Association.
The Web Marketing Association, a volunteer organization of top Internet marketing, advertising and design professionals, has named REW.ca winner of a Real Estate Standard of Excellence Award in its WebAward Competition. This was REW.ca's first entry.
"The site succeeds in providing a complete consumer guide to the local real estate market. REW.ca carries a comprehensive selection of resale homes, mortgage resources and new home developments. Metrics of 10.7 minutes per visit (comScore) are great," said one of the judges.
REW.ca General Manager Ian Martin says the recognition comes at a time when site traffic has been doubling every three months. "It's great to attract notice from both Web professionals and real estate consumers," he says. "We're constantly developing the site to make it a great experience for the user. You can save your searches, get alerts, and keep everything in one place, accessible from anywhere. But what also sets us apart is our local knowledge. Our tagline is 'We live where you live,' and we keep users up-to-date on information that's specific to Metro Vancouver's distinct and unique real estate markets."
Each website is judged by three industry leaders on seven criteria:
WebAward logo
- Design
- Innovation
- Content
- Technology
- Interactivity
- Copywriting
- Ease of Use
