Now in its fourth year, our Agent Advisory Board has become one of the most important ways StreetEasy® listens to — and builds with — New York City real estate professionals. Another great year of partnership is upon us, and we’re pleased to introduce our 2026 Board.
The StreetEasy Agent Advisory Board (AAB) is a structured forum that brings together a curated group of NYC real estate leaders to provide candid feedback on our key initiatives, share what they’re seeing in the market, and help guide StreetEasy on how best to partner with them in their business. StreetEasy AAB members serve an important role in sharing early thinking on products, programs, and policies, allowing us to hear directly from the people using them every day.
The 2026 StreetEasy AAB is a diverse cohort with 24 members across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, representing 14 brokerages spanning national, boutique, and independent firms. These agents, including eight returning members, bring an average industry tenure of 14 years reflecting deep on‑the‑ground expertise.
StreetEasy remains committed to listening to agents and using the Board’s feedback to shape our product, marketing, and policy decisions — so that we continue to build with the NYC agent community.
Thank you and congratulations to this year’s members!
If you’re a real estate professional interested in joining the 2027 StreetEasy AAB, find out how to be considered.
