Your Home Search Simplified

Home buyers today want to shop from the comfort of their own home. With the growing popularity of national websites like Realtor.com, Zillow, and Trulia, it’s easy for consumers to search thousands of homes and narrow down to exactly what they are looking for, but are they always up-to-date and reliable? Local Realtor Raniel Diaz has taken this national concept and made it local, personal and more accurate for the greater Coeur d’Alene area with the launch of SearchCDA.com.

“Most real estate websites today are clunky, difficult to navigate and are built to promote the agent or brokerage,” said Diaz, site operator and Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller real estate agent. “Our site is designed for searching new and existing home listings without the excessive promotion of the companies and people involved.”

Instead of having to browse numerous agent or agency sites, SearchCDA.com pulls listings directly from the multiple listing service (MLS) in real time, allowing visitors to search literally every home for sale in the greater Coeur d’Alene area all in one place.

One visit to SearchCDA.com and you’ll quickly find how straight forward the site is. There are currently more than 4,000 homes and lots for sale in our area, and the site automatically updates when a home is sold and when a new property becomes available. This includes anything from off-the-grid cabins to penthouse condos in Coeur d’Alene’s most iconic buildings.

“The primary focus of searchCDA.com is to give lookers a better browsing experience with lots of photos and to be able to zero in on a home based on popularity, square footage, bedrooms or time on the market,” said Diaz.

Clicking on a listing gives visitors to the site all the information they’ll need from address and map location to square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, lot size, year built and the MLS description of the property. Photos are loaded instantly and can be viewed in a slideshow format or by simply browsing each listing. Visitors also have the option of including their email address so anytime new listings inside their search criteria become available, they are the first to know.

“Our agents are working as our support staff to stay in touch with home searchers by email with relevant listings that match the buyer's specific search criteria and give them insight on market trends,” explained Diaz.

SearchCDA.com has recently partnered with Willamette Valley Bank Home Loan Center to ensure potential buyers have the opportunity to get approved before getting serious about their search.

“We feel strongly that any home search should start with a great lender, and this local team based in downtown Coeur d'Alene is a great partner with the community and great place to start,” said Diaz.

Since moving to Coeur d’Alene with his wife Eren and two small children in 2014, Diaz has become active in helping keep Coeur d’Alene such a wonderful community. The family volunteers at One Place Church, is involved in the long-range planning committee for CDA School District 271, and Raniel is a lead for the downtown Coeur d’Alene neighborhood social media platform on Nextdoor.com which has connected 450 families with more joining every week. Inspired by watching Ironman Coeur d’Alene, Raniel is training for his own attempt at a half-Ironman as long as he can get the swimming part down.

A home purchase is one of the defining purchases in your life, and whether it’s a first home, upgrade or retirement property, all reflect your personality and is where you should feel most at peace. Your next home is waiting at SearchCDA.com.
