A Canadian digital real estate platform is embarking on a geographical expansion.
Wahi, which launched in Toronto in 2022, aims to provide Canadians with a “smarter, faster, dreamier” approach to homeownership.
“Wahi’s smart home search can save homebuyers time sifting through listings, while our agent-level insights gives them more control over the homebuying process,” says cofounder Benjy Katchen, who serves his startup as CEO.
“And with Wahi’s Realtor Match, homebuyers know they’re getting a great Realtor that’s matched to their unique needs,” he adds.
Wahi “removes the guesswork” by offering agent-level insights on the latest listings, including sold price history, school scores, and other local real estate data, according to the entrepreneur.
This week, the Ontario-born fintech announced an expansion into Alberta.
“Alberta’s affordability is attracting homebuyers from around Canada,” notes Katchen.
The CEO described 2023 as “a banner year for interprovincial migration to the province.”
“We believe homebuyers in Alberta would benefit from having access to a tech-enabled experience that brings the same conveniences as shopping online, streaming content, or ordering food,” Katchen stated.
Wahi’s all-in-one app provides personalized listings recommendations tailored to preferences and lets users invite a co-buyer to house hunt together.
Since its launch, Wahi has received the Canadian Business Innovation Award Innovation Award in 2023 and 2024 as well as a Webby Honouree Award.
Wahi is available on desktop and on the App Store or Google Play.
