New York, NY (PRWEB) June 25, 2012

Blocksy.com, formerly known as Blockhawk.com, a growing New York-area website designed to make it easier and more intuitive for consumers to find homes and apartment rentals in New York’s five boroughs, announces today its official name change and the unveiling of a refined website design at http://www.blocksy.com.

Jason White, one of Blocksy’s Co-Founder explains, “We’re thrilled to announce our new website brand name, Blocksy, because among other things, it’s shorter, easier to pronounce, and more memorable than our previous brand.” White continues that “the Blocksy brand is now much more aligned with our team’s vision of creating the simplest, cleanest, and most consumer-friendly real estate site and brand online.”

In the coming weeks, the company plans to make additional announcements about product and feature extensions, as well as various industry partnerships which it expects will underscore the strength of its brand and the growing traction of Blocksy in the online real estate marketplace.

Launched in late 2011 by White, a serial entrepreneur, along with a handful of entrepreneurs in the technology and real estate industries, Blocksy has grown rapidly into a significant source for New York area real estate information.

In addition to its fresh user interface which is intended to make searching for real estate simpler and less cluttered than other real estate sites, Blocksy imports real estate information and home sale and apartment rental listings multiple times each day. All of which is intended to create the freshest and most up to date informational resource for New York real estate.

The site also offers reports, currently in beta mode, letting consumers and real estate professionals see, in an easy snapshot, information about home sales and apartment rentals in New York City. Reports are also available for each of the five boroughs and hundreds of neighborhoods in NYC.
