Where Real Estate Gets Its Dirt

LIBOR and HGAR talk consolidation

HGAR, LIBOR in Talks to Create Regional MLS

“The leaderships of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors and the Long Island Board of Realtors, the two largest Realtor organizations in New York State, announced on Feb. 1 that the two Realtor groups are in negotiations to create a regional multiple listing service that would service approximately 36,000 subscribers.”

36,000 is huge. That puts them in the top 5.

“MLSLI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Long Island Board of Realtors, Inc. of West Babylon. LIBOR is a not-for-profit trade association consisting of 25,000 real estate professionals working in Nassau, Suffolk, Queens and Brooklyn. —

HGAR is a not-for-profit trade association consisting of approximately 11,000 real estate professionals doing business in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland and Orange counties, as well as the Bronx and Manhattan.

One of the other things that strike me is how diverse their membership will be. I wonder what the naming might look like. Empire State MLS? Greater New York MLS? HGAR, LIBOR
