The Manhattan Association of REALTORS® [MANAR] is a professional trade association representing the real estate industry in Manhattan.  In cooperation with the National Association of REALTORS® and the New York State Association of REALTORS®, Manhattan REALTORs® are part of the largest and most influential professional trade organizations in the country, this partnership affords members access to a multitude of programs, resources, education and industry briefing that enhance their effectiveness in assisting clients and consumers with real property transactions.

MANAR and the Manhattan MLS are quickly moving forward to not only re-invent how they operate and support the real estate industry, but also to take advantage of Manhattan’s global role in the real estate market by transforming the way local brokers and agents compete in this new business environment.

MANAR and the Manhattan MLS are now launching its groundbreaking new “REALTOR-optional” MLS service allowing non-Realtors to participate for the first time.  The new MLS will feature enhanced search/list capabilities and a competitive low, monthly flat fee.

The Manhattan MLS will offer enhanced prospecting opportunities and CRM capabilities, enhanced data integrity standards, and the ability to send listing data to over 40 websites, including the world’s largest listing site, REALTOR.com.  With only one comprehensive subscriber level, subscribers will also be able to have their listings fed to Streeteasy and Buyfolio and can also have their listings placed on the new REALTOR.com/international.

All brokers and agents will now have the most comprehensive and technologically advanced tools available to succeed in NYC’s globally-oriented real estate market.
