OJO Canada offers its clients real estate search services, focusing on an individual approach when choosing a housing. The firm provides consumers with access to a network of experts in the relevant field. The company also provides financial support.

Representatives of the bank noted that in less than two years, the real estate platform has demonstrated stable growth. Millions of home buyers have used the services of OJO Canada.

Sid Puckett, the head of RBC, says that currently, the real estate platform is a kind of universal center for residents of Canada who choose an apartment, a private house, or premises for business. He called the advantage of OJO Canada simple and interconnected with other representatives of the market algorithm.
