Ben Willig of Anchor Associates at The Essys, StreetEasy’s annual agent celebration.
Between StreetEasy and our network sites, 90% of New York City buyers and renters use our services to find their next home[i] . While we can serve up the listing information, only agents can get them across the finish line and into the property of their dreams.
As indispensable partners in New Yorkers’ home searches, it’s critical for us to work together. Here are three new ways to connect and communicate with the StreetEasy team. Please get involved – we want to hear from you!
Join Roundtables with StreetEasy & Your Peers
StreetEasy is now hosting regular roundtable discussions with local agents to find out what’s working, what isn’t and what agents would like to see in the future. Once we collect the feedback we share it across StreetEasy teams so it can be incorporated into our products and services. If you’d like to join us for lunch and share feedback with our team, sign up for an agent roundtable here.
Get Featured on the Agent Resource Center
Our Agent Resource Center offers research, tips and industry insights for the NYC agent community. We’re working to incorporate more agent voices so we’d love to hear from you. If you have a particular area of expertise when it comes to NYC real estate, or a success story you’d like to share, we’re all ears. Pitch us a story here.

[i] According to the StreetEasy Q1 2019 Brand Tracking Survey, 91% of buyers and 88% of renters in New York City have used at least one of the NYC Network sites (StreetEasy, Zillow or Trulia) in the past year. The survey used the core 89 zip codes in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens to define the city boundaries.
