Growing the most accurate and comprehensive source of home listings in Colorado.
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO – March 1, 2019 – REcolorado, Colorado’s largest MLS, and Grand Junction Area REALTOR® Association, serving 774 REALTORS® in Mesa County, today announced that home listings from Grand Junction REALTORS are now available for consumers to search on REcolorado.com. This partnership marks progress towards making all listings in the state available to consumers in one place, straight from the source – Colorado REALTORS.
“Our partnership with Grand Junction Area REALTOR® Association is a win-win,” said Kirby Slunaker, president and CEO of REcolorado. “It simultaneously gives home buyers and sellers access to timely and accurate information about homes for sale directly from Colorado brokers on REcolorado.com, while bringing more visibility to the listings and agents in Grand Junction and Mesa County.”
The partnership between REcolorado and Grand Junction Area REALTOR® Association will bring nearly 1,200 Grand Junction listings of land and homes for sale to consumers across the state via REcolorado.com.
“We are thrilled to give our members the opportunity to advertise their listings on REcolorado.com, guaranteeing they will be shown as the listing agent on their listings,” said Lisa Martin, CEO of Grand Junction Area REALTOR® Association. “This partnership will give our members greater visibility for their listings, allowing them to better serve their clients and benefitting from the popularity and accuracy of REcolorado’s home search site.”
To be successful in Colorado’s fast-moving housing market, home shoppers need access to home listing information that is accurate, timely, and up to date. Because REcolorado is also the largest MLS in the state, consumers can trust the information they find on REcolorado.com, knowing it comes straight from the source – local real estate brokers.
When consumers can see the same information that their REALTOR sees and can easily identify the listing agent, they can streamline the home buying and selling process. Equally important for agents, this means that consumers can easily reach out to them, the local expert, when the listing agent is clearly displayed, not lost amid advertisements.
“Expanding REcolorado.com to include listings from across Colorado is part of our strategy to give consumers the most comprehensive and accurate resource of home listings throughout the state,” said Kirby Slunaker, president and CEO of REcolorado. “As a REALTOR owned company, we also want to serve our broker subscribers. Colorado brokers shouldn’t need to pay an advertising fee to be shown as the listing agent on their own listings. Using REcolorado.com means they don’t have to. Plus, consumers love it. As I said earlier, it’s a win-win.”
Each month, more than two million visitors use REcolorado.com to find homes for sale across the state, including the Denver Metro Area, Steamboat Springs, Vail, Royal Gorge, Grand County, South Central Colorado, and now Mesa County. REcolorado continues to form partnerships with REALTOR associations throughout the state through the Your Listing Your Lead program, building the most comprehensive and accurate resource available to both brokers and consumers in the state.
