He will work on the trade group’s legislative advocacy agenda and the development of a stronger commercial and investment division, according to the release. HGAR now has 13,000 members total.īMNAR’s former CEO, Eliezer Rodriguez, is now HGAR’s director of advocacy, commercial and legislative issues for Bronx and Manhattan. The merger brings the number of HGAR members in the Bronx to nearly 1,500 and the association has created a Bronx chapter, according to a press release.
Inman has asked whether that historical data will be incorporated into OneKey MLS and will update this story if and when we hear back. HGAR has hard copies of the Bronx-Manhattan MLS’s historical data, the spokesperson added. That MLS will be retired by year end and former BMNAR members will transition over to OneKey MLS where they will enter their current inventory, a Hudson Gateway AOR spokesperson told Inman via email.
BMNAR, which had about 150 agent and broker members before the merger, previously operated its own MLS, the Bronx-Manhattan MLS. The Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, which formed OneKey MLS with the Long Island Board of Realtors in 2018, has merged with the Bronx-Manhattan North Association of Realtors (BMNAR). OneKey MLS, New York’s largest multiple listing service at 42,000 subscribers, is getting even bigger.
