Alterna Savings Partners with NestReady to Offer New Homebuying Solution

TORONTO, July 27, 2018 /CNW/ - Alterna Savings has partnered with NestReady to offer Alterna Savings' members a convenient new real estate search solution for their homebuying needs. Now, on the Alterna Savings website, you can find the new NestReady platform. This new tool offers a robust real-estate search function to find properties and solutions that match our members' exact criteria with the click of a button.

NestReady combines all aspects of the homebuying process into one seamless platform. The complete real estate solution has many features that primarily focus on offering a great user experience. NestReady breaks down the homebuying journey into a few easy steps; these include searching for homes, saving favourite properties, connecting with top real estate agents and lastly, financing with great rates and mortgage solutions from Alterna Savings. 

"Thanks to our partnership with NestReady, we're empowering today's homebuyers who use the internet as their primary resource to search for their dream home. From scoping out the best property, to learning about real estate services and financing options, the internet is where we all start our homebuying journey. Our members can now use NestReady's new homebuying tool and when they're ready, come into one of our 32 branches in Ontario and speak with a specialist." said Rob Paterson, Alterna Savings President and CEO.

It's all about connecting and meeting the undetected or ignored needs at the earliest stage of the homebuying process. One of the largest challenges of the industry is identifying when customers are considering purchasing a home and retaining these leads throughout the whole process. The NestReady platform helps solve this problem by increasing engagement with Alterna Savings' members.

"After a successful partnership with Alterna Bank, we are proud to now be serving Alterna Savings members and empowering their branches with NestReady's digital homebuying solution," said Marcos Carvalho, Co-Founder & Chief Revenue Officer at NestReady. "Alterna Savings members can now also enjoy a simple and convenient way to buy their dream home all in one place and get support from our homebuying experts whenever they need it."
