Findwell taps Estately for a new real estate search experience

Findwell, the Seattle online real estate brokerage, is revamping its real estate search functionality. And it is turning to a fellow Seattle startup to help with the chore.

Beginning today, Estately will power the real estate search on findwell. It marks the first time that Estately has powered another real estate Web site, though co-founder Galen Ward said at least one other deal is in the works. The companies plan to announce the partnership today at the Inman News’ Real Estate Connect conference in San Francisco.

Kevin Lisota, the co-founder and CEO of findwell, said that he's been thinking about switching search providers for about a year.

"Our customers at findwell are coming to our site from Web searches and a lot of them were clicking on our search pages before and weren't sticking around long enough for us," he said. With Estately, Lisota is hoping to retain those potential customers for much longer periods of time.
