Rental listings expanding REALTOR services
MLS System offers option to post and search rental listings
A new feature to the MLS® System allowing REALTORS® the option to post rental listings is earning positive
reviews.
Justin Warthe, a REALTOR® with CIR Realty has posted two rental listings on the MLS® System and has experienced success with the new service.
"I've found the success to be quite good, it has been a good way to get in front of people and offer an extension of services," he said. "I like the idea, because someone who is renting their house now will be selling their house later, so it is a good way to build relationships."

Condos Are Hot In Calgary
Condominiums are a hot commodity here in Calgary.
"I chose to buy a condo over a traditional house, because I like the idea of not having to mow the lawn or worry about shovelling the snow," said Calgary resident Sarah Gage. "I like the simplicity of living in a condo. There is no work I have to do which is perfect for my busy schedule, and because it is just me that lives in the condo, I didn't need a lot of space."
