An eight-county listing service for residential real estate has been formed with the completed merger of Empire Access Multiple Listing Service, based in White Plains, and the Greater Hudson Valley Multiple Listing Service in Goshen.
The new Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service (HGMLS) lists about 24,000 properties in its database and includes more than 1,500 real estate firms in the Bronx, Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, Orange, Sullivan and Ulster counties. It is among the 50 largest multiple listing services in the U.S.
HGMLS is owned by the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, which was formed late last year with the merger of the Westchester Putnam Association of Realtors, the Rockland County Board of Realtors and the Orange County Association of Realtors. The regional Realtors group represents more than 9,000 real estate professionals.
