MORGANTOWN, W.Va., Jan. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ListHub, the
nation's leading provider of listing syndication services and
performance marketing metrics, operated by News Corp [NASDAQ: NWS,
NWSA] [ASX: NWS, NWSLV] subsidiary Move, Inc., today announced a
new agreement with the Real Estate Board of New York, REBNY, and its REBNY Listing
Service, the RLS, to provide the RLS' over 13,000 residential
participants (affiliated with more than 550 residential brokerages)
with new options for syndicating and promoting listings through
ListHub's network of over 85 national, regional, and affiliate
publisher websites, and access to a global network of international
publisher websites.
Through this agreement, RLS brokers will have the option to
distribute their listings directly from the RLS to the ListHub
Global network, which includes leading international real estate
websites in China (Fang.com) and
the United Kingdom
(RightMove.com), and more than 80 other sites in more than 50
countries. Additionally, the RLS' participants will gain
access to ListHub's tools to manage their online marketing, route
consumer inquiries, and access marketing performance reports.
The RLS currently distributes 20,000 residential sales and rental
listings in all five boroughs of the City
of New York: Manhattan,
Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens
and Staten Island.
Douglas Elliman Real Estate, the fourth largest real estate firm
in the United States and a leading
real estate brokerage firm in New York
City, already uses ListHub to market its listings in
Long Island, Westchester, Connecticut, Colorado, California, and Florida.
"Now with the addition of REBNY's RLS to the ListHub network, we
can provide agents in our home city of New York with the same advantages including
online marketing exposure, reporting tools and global advertising,"
said Stephen Kotler, Douglas Elliman
Real Estate's chief revenue officer and co-chair of REBNY's RLS
Board of Directors.
"This announcement is an important step in REBNY Listing
Service's continuing transition into a national standards listing
database. The addition of ListHub, along with the launch of
Internet Data Exchange (IDX), the introduction of data syndication
and other initiatives underway, will offer our members access to
the most technologically advanced products available," said
John H. Banks, III, REBNY President.
"I want to thank ListHub for making this partnership a reality that
will elevate REBNY's services for our members and their
customers."
"We are pleased to be expanding our service in New York City, one of the most vital markets
in the country," said Celeste
Starchild, senior vice president, professional software at
Move and general manager of ListHub. "It is particularly
exciting to have the opportunity to work alongside REBNY and its
RLS as they continue to increase the best in class data services
they provide to brokers and consumers."
The agreement with REBNY follows a record year for ListHub,
which in 2015 added 110 new MLSs and more than 10,000
brokerages. ListHub now serves more than 600 MLSs and 60,000
brokerage customers nationwide. Amid increasing demand for
international real estate marketing services, ListHub's global
