We apologize for the technical glitches

Wednesday, 11 January 2012 00:00

We would like to issue a sincerely apology to our users. Over the course of the several days, you may have noticed that our site was intermittently down with a message that said "Account Suspended". The cause of this down time was because our hosting service, JustHost, had unreasonably shut down our account claiming that we have been using too much system resources in CPU time. Not only do we think this accusation is unreasonable, we also felt very violated because they had just shut down our servers.

Needless to say, we are not happy with them, and now we have switched to a new, and much more reliable hosting service. As far as we know, all issues are now resolved, and we do not expect any more down time.

Please accept our sincere apologies.

Happy 2012!

New Feature to Connect Homebuyers, Sellers to REALTORS®

HomeKey News

Today, we are excited to announce the launch of a significant HomeKey feature. We internally call it "Connect".

This new feature is now displayed prominently on our homepage. It allows homebuyers and sellers to request bids from Realtors from around the GTA. Realtors then bid on these potential clients, competing for their business. Consumers win because they can hire great Realtors® at discounted prices; Realtors® win because they have client leads delivered to them seamlessly.

To learn more how you can benefit from this new feature, see How it Works. If you are a Realtor®, you can learn more here.

Today, we are excited to announce HomeKey's Raising the Roof Campaign! Starting today until the end of the summer, we will be donating $1 to Raising the Roof for each review that we receive and publish.

About Raising the Roof

Raising the Roof is a worthy Canadian charity, dedicated to bringing long-term solutions to homelessness in Canada. Since 1997, Raising the Roof has allocated over $3.0 million to agencies across Canada to help reduce homelessness.

One of HomeKey's missions has always been to make real estate transactions more affordable; now you can help the less fortunate by putting a roof over their heads - without spending a dime!
