The objective of the NYC Buyer Graph, powered by RealScout, is to empower real estate practitioners with a platform that enables homebuyers, sellers, and their agents to collaborate on buying and selling property by leveraging exclusive data and consumer-friendly technology.

The platform enables consumers and agents to 1) effortlessly find properties using RealScout’s award winning property search, 2) make data-driven, strategic decisions throughout the buying and selling process with proprietary data and analytics from the Buyer Graph, and 3) securely collaborate with agents whose firms are participating in the cooperative effort.

“RealScout provides much more than the customer collaboration features we wanted. We now have access to real time, buyer demand data for our agents, and for our clients as well,” said Richard Grossman, President at Halstead Real Estate. “RealScout’s Buyer Graph brings unprecedented sophistication and coordination among member brokerages and agents, while fully ensuring consumer privacy. This is a game changer.”

The NYC Buyer Graph is welcoming additional brokerage members to join the ranks of the seven founding brands. By joining the Buyer Graph, brokerages, their member agents, and clients enjoy access to the group’s technology, network, and homebuyer demand data, further strengthening the Buyer Graph’s reach and influence.

“Through RealScout, Douglas Elliman joins the NYC Buyer Graph alongside a broad-base of the top residential real estate companies in New York City, said Steven James,” Douglas Elliman Chief Executive Officer, New York City. “The Buyer Graph enables us to securely share critical market data with member brokerages, allowing us to help consumers make high-quality decisions about their real estate needs.”
