Case Study: Windermere Real Estate helps home buyers find homes faster with INRIX Drive Time

Windermere helps home buyers search smarter with INRIX Drive Time™, providing commute times measured in minutes versus miles

Windermere Real Estate, a large Seattle-based real estate company, sought a way to differentiate itself from competitors and reduce the sales cycle for its agents. Research showed that 73% of home buyers consider commute time a key factor. Their challenge was to move beyond measuring distances in miles and instead provide accurate drive times in minutes based on real traffic conditions. To address this, they partnered with vendor INRIX.

The solution was INRIX Drive Time™, a tool that gives home buyers the ability to search for properties within a desired commute time. The technology provided travel times based on traffic at different departure times. This benefited agents by helping pre-qualify buyers, which reduced showings and sped up sales. For the customer, INRIX Drive Time increased website traffic, provided a competitive advantage, and established Windermere as an industry innovator.
