Blog > Sawbuck Expands to Dallas

As the saying goes, everything is bigger in Texas...and now, so is Sawbuck!

Today, we launched our site and service in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metro Area.

For the last few weeks, we've been downloading, processing and storing millions of DFW data points. We've added 335,000 new homes to our database, including 47,000 active listings and 1,500,000 new pictures. Dallas users and customers can now take advantage of our real-time updates, including new listings, price changes, contracts and sales.

On the business side, we're ready to help Dallas buyers and sellers find great agents and get great deals on their mortgage and settlement. Every time we come to a new market, it is a real learning experience. Each state, each city and each MLS have their own unique rules and customs that combine to make real estate so very local.

We decided long ago to rely on the local expertise of top real estate agents and teams, rather than try to become expert--everywhere--ourselves. So far, this strategy has worked out well for Sawbuck and our customers alike, and we're excited to bring it to Dallas for the first time.

Last month, we launched in L.A.; today, we're live in Dallas. And we have major expansion plans for the remainder of 2009. If we aren't in your area now, you might be next. Stay tuned!
