Introducing StreetEasy's 2023 Agent Advisory Board
As part of our continued efforts to provide value to New York City real estate agents and maintain trusted partnerships, we’re excited to introduce the members of StreetEasy’s 2023 Agent Advisory Board!
The Agent Advisory Board (AAB) brings together agents from the NYC market to provide StreetEasy with feedback on partner resources, products, events, and programming. AAB members also receive early access to relevant StreetEasy products and programs that are in development. As a forum to discuss industry topics and raise important questions, the AAB creates a mutually beneficial exchange of ideas between partners and StreetEasy. The board meets for regular in-person sessions as well as virtual discussions related to product releases and other developments.
