As we
reported in June 2010,
BuzzBuzzHome was launched in 2009 with the aim of revolutionizing the new homes business by providing an online resource that shows all new developments in the GTA. Since then, the company has continued to grow by leaps and bounds.
BuzzBuzzHome is adding two more staff -- one just starting now and one joining the team in April--bringing their total number of employees to 14, which founder Matt Slutsky points out is 700 per cent growth in the past 18 months.
Slutsky says that among the most successful initiatives on the site was the recent addition of
forums where users can post conversations. "We realized that we'd grown into more than just a listings resource, that we'd become more of a social network. So we added a spot for people to have discussions." Topics posted often draw dozens of comments from real estate agents and other industry watchers in a matter of hours, which tends to underscore Slutsky's point about the desire for information about real estate in the city.
