CALGARY, Dec. 18, 2014 /CNW/ - On February 1, 2015, there's a new neighbourhood website coming to Calgary, Alberta. Parkbench.com, Canada's fastest growing neighbourhood network, is forming a partnership with RE/MAX Real Estate (Central) in Calgary. RE/MAX Real Estate (Central) is the Top Producing RE/MAX Office in the world based on closed transactions. Many of the real estate agents at this brokerage specialize in specific neighbourhoods, deeming them a great fit for Parkbench's innovative platform that features only one agent or team per neighbourhood site.

The two companies are working together to create the most useful website for the communities in the Calgary area. Once it's launched, Calgarians will have an online venue where they can find out everything going on locally in three clicks or less. This includes all the daily deals and specials, events and activities, news articles and pictures, schools and real estate information, and more – all organized by neighborhood.
"Each REALTOR from RE/MAX Real Estate (Central) who we are working with truly specializes in their community. They are vested in the growth and development of their neighbourhoods which is why each of them are a perfect fit to work with and launch a Parkbench site in their community." – says Amanda Newman, Co-founder and CPO of Parkbench.
Small business owners will also be able to take advantage of Parkbench's free advertising and marketing tools to attract more local, loyal consumers.

"At the heart of Parkbench is the desire to promote and support the local economy and connect neighbours to their local businesses and service providers."
