About realtor.com
realtor.com is the second largest American property listing site after Zillow, and it is operated by News Corp under a licence from the National Association of Realtors, which owns the underlying listing data. That licence means the site carries listings direct from the association's databases, which is why its data is often more current than that of sites relying on separate feeds.
