Since launching in 2019, the StreetEasy® Experts program has enabled local real estate agents to grow their business by helping buyers and sellers interested in NYC homes. And not just any buyers and sellers — those whose needs match the agent’s particular expertise in a building, neighborhood, or type of property.

Now, as we close out yet another year of Experts, it’s time to celebrate the top successes of 2023. We’re proud to recognize the year’s leading Experts by sales volume and transactions, as well as the highest-priced Experts deals. We’ll also recap the exciting tools, features, and content launched this year as part of our continuous efforts to improve the Experts program.

Let’s look back at the year in StreetEasy Experts — certainly one to be proud of!

StreetEasy Experts Tools, Features, and Content Launched in 2023

StreetEasy is on a constant quest to elevate your experience as an Expert, giving you the resources you need to succeed in the program and build your business. In 2023 we introduced three powerful new tools and features, as well as content that reinforces the value of Experts for consumers.

Tools and Features

Experts Performance Dashboard

This self-service dashboard made just for Experts contains various metrics regarding your connections, transactions, opportunities, and rankings within the program. Experts can access this dashboard at any time and see their real-time metrics, so they can spend less time tracking down this data and more time focusing on their clients. Learn more about the Experts Performance Dashboard and what it includes.

Updated Connections Interface

We added improved functionality and a sleek new look to your Connections interface on desktop and mobile. What’s more, you’ll see helpful details about each connection as available, including first-time home buyer status; pre-approval status; and their desired neighborhood, price range, bedrooms, and other home criteria. Additionally, you may see their answers to questions about where they are in the search process (researching, touring homes, making offers, etc.) and their financing plans. Read more about the updated Connections experience.

StreetEasy Concierge

The StreetEasy Concierge provides prospective buyers and sellers with free guidance on the process and how StreetEasy can help. Our Concierge also matches these buyers and sellers with an Expert who’s well-suited for their particular needs. This new initiative serves as an important source of buyer and seller connections for Experts, and we’re excited to grow the program in 2024 and beyond.

Content

Now more than ever, StreetEasy is here to provide you with resources and information to navigate the changing NYC real estate landscape. The helpful content showcased below addresses questions you may be getting from potential clients on why to work with an Expert buyer’s agent, and more.

StreetEasy Home School: Do I Need A Buyer’s Agent in NYC?

Our StreetEasy Home School video series, launched in 2023, helps buyers and sellers understand NYC real estate topics using the StreetEasy team’s extensive knowledge, expertise, and data. Hosted by StreetEasy Concierge Carlo Romero, the third installment of the series covers buyer’s agents: what they do, benefits of working with one, how to find an agent, and more. Other Home School videos address topics such as buying in NYC for the first time, how to sell your home, condo vs. co-op, and evaluating offers — with more to come.

Additionally, our top-performing blog post on 10 Reasons to Use a StreetEasy Expert Buyer’s Agent outlines why buyers should work with an Expert in particular.

Know the Neighborhood

StreetEasy’s Know the Neighborhood series gives consumers an inside look at NYC neighborhoods — what to do, where to go, housing types, the local real estate market, etc. Each installment is hosted by an Expert with knowledge and experience in the neighborhood, and features conversations with residents about what it’s really like to live there. Stay tuned for more Know the Neighborhood videos spanning all across the city.

We thank you again for participating in the Experts program, and congratulate you on another fruitful year of leading New Yorkers to the home of their dreams. We look forward to what’s to come in 2024 — let’s make it the best one yet.
