Service
BuzzBuzzHome provides both demand and supply side services in the real estate market for new developments. For consumers, BuzzBuzzHome allows access to information regarding new developments across North America including pricing, floor plans, renderings, associated builders/developers and other information. It also allows the user to filter their search based on listing attributes. On the supply side, BuzzBuzzHome serves as a marketing tool for developers, brokerages, and marketing agencies. BuzzBuzzHome employs research staff who update developer pages and the site's Wiki format allows registered developers to update their own listings directly.[1] Some developers pay an extra fee for a more prominent feature. Featured listings are advertised in banner ads to local users and are given priority listings in search among other benefits.
