The Real Deal was established in 2003 by Amir Korangy, a former publisher of the New York Blade News. Korangy realized the need for in-depth, real-time real estate news and analysis in an era where information around the subject was either delayed or shallow. The website is currently owned by Korangy Publishing Inc., with Amir Korangy still at the helm.Based in New York City, The Real Deal primarily focuses on real estate news, offering comprehensive coverage of everything from commercial and residential markets to real estate trends and profiles of industry leaders. It also includes sections devoted to architecture and design, and real estate tech. In addition to its New York coverage, they have expanded to cover real estate markets in Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago.**One interesting fact**: The Real Deal stands out in its in-depth reporting on real estate. Notably, it organizes an annual real estate showcase and forum, which brings together thousands of leading real estate insiders for discussions, networking, and showcasing new developments. This event is the largest of its kind in the country, an attestation of The Real Deal's prominent role in the real estate industry.
