Realtor.com Careers

About

Realtor.com is a leading online real estate marketplace, operated by Move, Inc., a subsidiary of News Corp. Since its inception in 1995 as the Realtor Information Network, a closed network for members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the company has evolved into a publicly accessible website. It officially launched in 1996, displaying property listings to a broad audience. Today, Realtor.com stands as one of the most visited real estate websites in the United States, boasting over 100 million monthly active users as of 2021. The platform offers a comprehensive database of for-sale properties, providing users with the information, tools, and professional expertise necessary to navigate the complexities of buying, selling, and owning a home. The company's headquarters was relocated from Santa Clara, California, to Austin, Texas. Throughout its history, Realtor.com has been at the forefront of digital real estate innovation. It was among the first to introduce virtual tours of properties and has continuously integrated new technologies to enhance the user experience. This includes the use of augmented reality, 3D tours from Matterport, and an AI-powered home search algorithm. The company has also expanded its services through strategic acquisitions, such as Opcity in 2018, which uses artificial intelligence to match homebuyers with agents, and UpNest in 2022, a platform that connects customers with multiple real estate agents. These acquisitions, along with partnerships with companies like Yelp and Airbnb, have allowed Realtor.com to provide a more holistic and informative home search experience, offering insights into neighborhood amenities and local market conditions. The platform's commitment to leveraging technology is also evident in its enterprise data infrastructure modernization and the development of a Global Lead Allocation system to improve the efficiency of connecting consumers with real estate professionals.
