RESAAS continues to grow, adds Vernazza Realty to its real estate social network

RESAAS Services (CNSX:RSS) is continuing to grow its real estate social network as it has announced the addition of Southern California-based real estate firm, Vernazza Realty, to its platform. 

Vernazza Realty was founded by Diane and John Cirignani, who RESAAS said rank amongst the top two per cent of Orange County Realtors. 

"With close to 700 homes sold in the past 13 years, Diane and John Cirignani completely understand the Southern California real estate business," said RESAAS VP of sales Padraig Cullen. 

"Therefore they immediately saw the power of RESAASbranded as the Vernazza Realty social network. Further, Diane realizes that social networking and real estate are complimentary of one another and that RESAAS will streamline her agents' social networking strategy as a whole.”

RESAAS Services is a social network for real estate professionals, mortgage specialists, home buyers and sellers. The network is designed to enable real-time updating of property listings as well as the ability to sync with social media sites such as Facebook(NASDAQ:FB) and Twitter.

Real-time updates are one aspect of what sets RESAAS part from sites such as the Canadian Real Estate Association's Multiple Listing Service (MLS) website, where it can take a number of days for new listings to appear.

Earlier this month, the company added Montreal-based real estate firm Profusion Realty, which is known for its work in the high-end real estate market in the Greater Montreal Area. 

That followed on the heels of a busy February for RESAAS, when it brought on Southern California-based real estate firm Parker Properties, Royal LePage Kelowna and California's Century 21 Adobe Realty. 

It has also brought on real estate agency OC Homes Realty from Southern California, Century 21 In Town Realty in Downtown Vancouver, and Southern California real estate firm Star Real Estate South County, this year. 

The company in 2012 inked a deal to work with The Residential Group Realty (TRG Realty) of Vancouver and brought on Summit Realty Group, a full-service, commission brokerage specializing in residential real estate throughout the U.S. 

In one of its most notable achievements last year, RESAAS received approval to include its real estate Q&A app in Microsoft's Window's 8 App Store. The company's platform is also available for Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone and for Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android operating system for smartphones.
