#unlyst

We’ve been quiet for awhile. Really sorry about that. But know that we are hard at work on our real estate project: online public profiles for buildings and communities. Our mission is to create massive amounts of transparency in real estate.  

We’ll be starting first with one condominium building in Toronto and then slowly adding the functionality that we have envisaged. Once we’re happy with how that has turned out, we’ll work on rolling out our platform for other condo buildings in Toronto.

If you’d like to be first to know when we go public, go to unlyst.com and make sure that we have your email address. In the mean time, you can also follow us on Instagram and Twitter. We post cool stuff.

Today we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve launched an early release of our marketplace product. You can check it out at unlyst.com.

It’s very much in an infant stage, but we wanted to put it out there to start getting real feedback and engaging in discussions with you.

As some of you will know, our residential marketplace is based on the concept that every home is for sale; it’s just a question of price. And we’re doing that by creating a private marketplace for homes that aren’t yet on the market.

One way to think of it is as LinkedIn for your home. 

Similar to how an online resume opens you up to opportunities -- even when you’re not looking for a job -- we want Unlyst to be where you get feedback on your home, where the market tells you how much they think it’s worth, and where you get exposed to potential offers from buyers. We want to help you make the most out of what is probably your largest.

If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to reach out via email ([email protected]) or on Twitter (@unlyst). And if you’re ready to unlyst your home, please click here. It’s entirely free.

We've made a few changes to our landing page at unlyst.com. If you have a second, we'd love to get your feedback on it :)

This new landing page ties into our first private beta release. If you'd like to get on the cool list and participate in these early releases, click here to submit your Toronto condo.

According to the Globe and Mail, 33 Harbour Square, Suite 2818 on Toronto's waterfront recently sold for $935,000 (~$623 per square foot). The suite was renovated.

Here are a few more details:

Asking price: $888,000

Approximately 1,500 square feet 

Maintenance fee: $1,036 per month

Property taxes: $4,070 (2014)

2 bedrooms

Parking & locker included

If you're a condo owner in Toronto we'd really love to speak with you.

We're hard at work on the first release of Unlyst and so we're looking for beta testers in the city who also happen to own a place. To start, our focus is exclusively on condos. In exchange for your goodwill, we'll buy you coffee, and probably wine if we've already had our morning coffees. We'll never say no to a good buttery chardonnay.

Good morning Toronto!

We're headed back out today to meet with more condo owners in the city and photograph their homes for our upcoming release (January/February 2015 timeline).

If you're a condo owner in the city, we'd love to connect with you. We'll come by your place so you can tell us about your home and we can take photos. And in return we'll give you a free home valuation and a sneak peak at our new app :)

We're excited to announce some big changes with the Unlyst blog.

First, we've moved our address over to blog.unlyst.com. That change reflects the fact that it'll now serve as our official corporate blog.

In light of this change, you'll be seeing a much wider variety of posts. Before, it was all about hot looking homes. Going forward it'll be hot looking homes as well as updates from the team, links to useful articles, and maybe even what we're eating for lunch.

Finally, we've redesigned the look and feel of the blog. The old blog was good for lots of home pictures, but not so good for text, videos, and the other updates that we plan to deploy.
