My Professional Affiliations
and Why They Matter to You

Real estate is a distribution business. The agent who controls access controls outcomes. My affiliations are not logos for a footer—they are market access points that directly impact pricing power, buyer competition, and time on market.

REBNY

Real Estate Board of New York

rebny.com

REBNY is the central professional organization for New York City real estate. It has been the backbone of NYC brokerage cooperation for over a century and operates the Residential Listing Service (RLS), which functions differently from a traditional MLS.

What REBNY Gives Sellers

Direct exposure to 14,000+ NYC-based real estate professionals (REBNY members)
Access to the RLS system with 23,000+ active NYC listings
Tens of billions of dollars in NYC residential inventory
Visibility among top Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx brokerages
Broker-to-broker ecosystem where deals are actively shared
NYC-specific market intelligence and pricing data

Why REBNY Matters More Than National MLS Systems in NYC

Many NYC buildings, co-ops, and exclusive listings never fully circulate through national MLS platforms. REBNY's RLS is where NYC agents actually look first. Serious buyers are represented by REBNY members who actively search this system daily. For sellers, that means: fewer missed buyers, faster broker engagement, more qualified showings, and stronger pricing support.

OneKey MLS

New York's Largest MLS

onekeymls.com

OneKey MLS is the largest MLS in New York State and one of the largest in the country. It connects New York City, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley into a single unified listing ecosystem.

What OneKey MLS Gives Sellers

Exposure to 43,000+ licensed real estate professionals across NY metro
Distribution across 4,300+ brokerage offices in the region
Access to 1,000,000+ listings for accurate pricing
Consumer-facing exposure through OneKeyMLS.com
Automated listing alerts to thousands of active buyers
Strong SEO reach for buyers searching outside NYC

Why OneKey MLS Is Critical for Seller Exposure

Not all buyers live in NYC when they start their search. Many are relocating from Long Island, moving down from Westchester or the Hudson Valley, working with agents based outside the five boroughs, or searching regionally before narrowing their target neighborhood. OneKey ensures your listing reaches every one of those buyers and agents.

The Advantage of Listing on BOTH Systems

This is where most sellers lose leverage. Many agents only use one system. I use both.

REBNY RLS

Dominates NYC core markets

Manhattan • Brooklyn • Queens • Bronx

OneKey MLS

Dominates regional & extended metro

Long Island • Hudson Valley • Westchester

Dual-System Exposure Means:

NYC-focused agents see your listing via REBNY RLS
Regional agents see your listing via OneKey MLS
Buyers relocating into NYC are captured earlier
More agents = more showings
More showings = stronger offers
Stronger offers = better terms and pricing

Together they create full-spectrum exposure from Manhattan to Montauk and from Brooklyn to the Hudson Valley.
