Realtor.com (stylized as realtor.com) is a real estate listings website operated by the News Corporation subsidiary Move, Inc. and based in Santa Clara, California. The site launched as the Realtor Information Network in 1995, serving as a closed network for members of the National Association of Realtors. It relaunched in 1996 as a public website displaying property listings. Since then, Realtor.com claims to have become the largest website in the United States for real estate listings, and in 2016 was valued at $2.5 billion by Morgan Stanley. The website's advertising campaigns have been recognized by Adweek and the Webby Awards.

Operations

Realtor.com is operated by the real estate network Move, Inc.,[1] which is owned by News Corporation.[2] Ryan O'Hara serves as chief executive officer (CEO) of both realtor.com and Move.[3] The website is licensed to operate by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the real estate industry's largest trade association.[2][4] The company's business model focuses on selling advertising and leads to agents and brokers.[5]

Originally located in San Jose, California, the company moved to Santa Clara in 2016.[3] The new headquarters was designed by the architecture firm Gensler to resemble a "deconstructed house".[6]

History

Founding and early growth

Realtor.com first launched in 1995 as the Realtor Information Network (RIN), which at that time was a closed network providing proprietary information to members of NAR.[7][8] In 1996, the hosting site became public, allowing any Internet users to search for property listings, and expanded with the addition of Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS) listings in August.[9] RIN grew from 32,000 property listings in December 1995 to nearly 400,000 properties by October 1996.[10][11]

The site was relaunched with the name "Spot Realtor.com" at the same realtor.com domain name in November 2016.[12][13] The site's management was assumed by a company called RealSelect,[13] in a new partnership with NAR, funded by investment from venture capital firms.[12] RealSelect later changed its name to Homestore, and continued to operate the realtor.com site with NAR as a partner.[14]

Starting in 1997, Realtor.com became the exclusive online real estate listings source for several companies, including USA Today,[15][16] NBC,[17] and America Online (AOL).[18][19] Realtor.com also entered into a partnership with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Service, beginning in 1998.[20] With more than 1.3 million listings by 1999,[21][22] Realtor.com had become the largest website for real estate listings, and expanded services to include virtual tours of properties.[23]

Public listing and acquisition

Homestore went public in August 1999, raising $140 million in the process. NAR retained a significant equity position, but Homestore negotiated agreements with multiple listing services and brokerages to secure direct feeds of listings.[24]

News Corporation purchased Realtor.com's parent company, now called Move, for $950 million in September 2014.[3][25] According to comScore, Realtor.com was receiving 34.1 million unique visitors per month at the time.[26] New partnerships were formed with Airbnb, to focus on encouraging potential home buyers to stay in neighborhoods of interest to them;[1] and with Yelp, to provide users with information about listed properties' neighborhood amenities.[27]

As of 2016, Realtor.com claimed to display 97 percent of residential properties for sale in the United States,[28] and reportedly received 36.7 million unique monthly visitors.[3] The company was valued by Morgan Stanley at $2.5 billion.[29]

Features for augmented reality and image recognition in listings were added to the Realtor.com mobile apps in January 2017.[2][30] Also, the site began offering 3D tours from Matterport on its iOS app, and began offering the same technology on its website and Android app.[31]

Move acquired Opcity, the Austin, Texas-based real estate technology company, for $210 million in 2018. The company, which developed a platform that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to match potential home buyers with agents,[32] will continue to operate as an independent business.[33][34]

Marketing

Elizabeth Banks has been a spokesperson for Realtor.com since 2015,[35][36] appearing in the company's YouTube series targeting millennials buying their first home.[37][38][39] Her first commercial for the company was directed by Fred Savage.[40]

The website's advertising campaigns have been recognized by Adweek,[41][42] the Online Marketing Media and Advertising (OMMA) Awards,[43][44] and the Webby Awards for their creativity, use of talent, and digital advertising.[45]
