REALTOR.ca adds TD Insurance tools to homebuying platform
REALTOR.ca is adding home insurance guidance to its platform through a new collaboration with TD Insurance, bringing insurance education and quote options earlier into the homebuying process.
The companies said the new digital experience will provide REALTOR.ca users with access to educational resources, expert insights and planning tools designed to help them better understand home insurance coverage, risk prevention and long-term ownership costs.
The integration will also allow users to connect with TD Insurance advisors for personalized information and explore getting a quote based on their needs.
The companies said the goal is to help homebuyers consider insurance earlier in the transaction, rather than leaving it until shortly before closing. In most cases, mortgage lenders require proof of home insurance before a home purchase can close.
“Home insurance is a critical part of protecting one of the biggest investments Canadians will ever make, but it shouldn’t be something people think about at the last minute,” said Steve Laurin, vice-president of affinity market group at TD Insurance.
The announcement comes as TD Insurance research found that only one in four Canadians review their home insurance policy annually, suggesting many homeowners may not be regularly reassessing their coverage.
REALTOR.ca, which is owned by the Canadian Real Estate Association, says it receives more than 630 million visits annually and connects consumers with listings and housing data from more than 155,000 realtors across the country.
The move follows other efforts to expand REALTOR.ca beyond listings, including the addition of mortgage eligibility tools through Pinch Financial’s platform, which Dominion Lending Centres joined last year.
