REBNY will also list on Realtor.com to compete with StreetEasy
The Real Estate Board of New York has inked a deal to display its newly syndicated Residential Listing Service on Realtor.com, it said Monday.
The deal comes as listing site StreetEasy, has begun charging brokers $3 a day per rental listing. The listings were previously free.
If brokers don’t pay, their listings still show up, with the words “unavailable,” even though the listings are available — just not on the StreetEasy pay-for-play site. Sales listings are still free.
REBNY’s new deal will provide all of its RLS sales and rental listings in a new, updated format, to Realtor.com.
Realtor.com, a rival to StreetEasy, is owned by News Corp., the parent of The Post.
“This is about giving the best and cleanest data to the biggest group for the greatest competitive opportunity for the consumer to make a deal,” John Banks, president of REBNY, told the Post.
