The editorial team at Realtor.com is seeking freelance news and advice writers who can contribute to our editorial section. We are looking for experienced reporters who can pitch, report out, and write stories about the housing market, design trends, and the buying and selling process.

Realtor.com is operated by News Corp, which also owns The Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, and New York Post. Our audience is everyday home buyers, sellers, and owners, and not industry insiders.

The news team at Realtor.com is looking for trained journalists with experience who can report and write stories on data-heavy, housing reports released the same day; take on larger stories about trends in the housing market; and can look at how new policies can affect home buyers and sellers.

Are comfortable interviewing and quoting industry experts
Are comfortable working with data and reading spreadsheets
Can produce engaging, jargon-free stories for our readers

Can pitch original ideas that will resonate with consumers around the buying/selling/homeownership journey
Have clips showing they can report/interview expert sources and can condense jargon into consumer-friendly language
