Builders Direct launches online purchasing tool for real estate buyers

Builders Direct Inc. has launched Builders Direct, an innovative, patent-pending online purchasing tool that will revolutionize Canadian real estate purchasing. Buyers can browse through floor plans, live inventory and pricing lists provided by builders and developers and apply for mortgage financing, entirely online.

Every week, Buildersdirect.ca will reveal exclusive deals from builders—up to 20 per cent off the price of high-demand real estate properties. Interested buyers can reserve properties by purchasing an access voucher from Builder's Direct. Once the payment is processed, the buyer will take the voucher to the real estate sales center for access to exclusive pricing. The voucher fee goes to Builder's Direct, which is pleased to offer buyers these unprecedented savings.

And, since Canadian real estate attracts investors from around the world, Buildersdirect.ca is fully navigable in 52 languages.

Builders Direct eliminates the hassle of lining up at sales centres only to find out that choice pre-construction properties are no longer available. Now, Canada's major real estate developers, including Concord Adex, Onni Group of Companies, Phantom Developments, Kantium Developments, Murchmount Homes and Berkfife Limited will provide real time access to floor-plans and inventories online. Scotiabank will allow Builders Direct users to apply for mortgages through Buildersdirect.ca. Technology assisted by Moneris Canada will allow for secure credit card voucher payments. Denise Lash, a renowned condominium lawyer with Heenan Blaikie LLP, has assisted the Builders Direct team in making their dream a reality.
