The Real Deal

The Real Deal reports on real estate for the people who work in it. Its daily output covers development, sales and financing, foreclosure and bankruptcy filings, brokerage politics, litigation over listing rules, and the local policy fights that move values — recent stories range from a Hudson Yards hotel sold at foreclosure auction to a federal ruling on private listing networks and a city rent-protection expansion.

Coverage is organised by market bureau, each with its own editor and news address: New York, South Florida, Chicago, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area and Texas. Beyond breaking news the publication sells market intelligence, custom research, proprietary rankings, deal analysis, profiles and trend pieces, publishes monthly issues and weekly newsletters, runs events, and has launched a policy product called Policy Pro. Corporate subscriptions are handled separately from individual ones, reprints go through PARS International, and advertising and native sponsored content are produced by an in-house Brand Studio.

The outlet says Quantcast ranks it among the 300 most visited websites in the US and the top site by audience wealth, and that its newsroom has received more than 50 awards for editorial excellence, including the General Excellence award from the Society of Business Writers and Editors. It is an independent media company wholly owned and operated by Korangy Publishing, which was founded in 2003, and works from 450 West 31st Street in New York.

It states plainly that it accepts no bylines from real estate professionals and that the advertising team has no interaction with or influence over editorial decisions — useful to know when a sponsored item sits next to a news item. Subscription prices are not listed on the pages crawled.
