About the Homes.com editorial team

Our singular commitment is to you — the reader

Our mission

We are singularly committed to serving our readers with the news, insights and educational information that empowers people to realize their real estate ambitions.

Who we are

Homes.com is part of CoStar Group, Inc., a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, analytics and 3D digital twin technology in the property markets. Our reporting staff teams up with Homes.com's expert, in-house analysts and extensive research organization to produce a robust roundup of news, analysis and educational content each day. Our news and information can be found on Homes.com or delivered regularly to subscribers and Homes.com clients via email newsletters.

Our values and standards

We practice old-school journalism, adhering to the highest standards for producing accurate and unbiased reporting. We follow the facts where they take us and make every effort to rely on primary sources.

We are independent. Our decisions about what to write are our own. We prohibit staff from accepting compensation, favors or other inducements from the people and companies we write about, or their intermediaries.

We are committed to fairness. We seek comment from credible and authoritative sources and those offering alternative viewpoints. We try to avoid using unnamed sources but if we do, we will tell you why we are doing so.

We are committed to transparency. When we make a mistake, we are dedicated to correcting it and telling you we did so.

Our process

Much of our veteran staff is based in the communities they cover. Every story they write is reviewed and fact-checked by experienced editors before publication, as are contributions from our analytics and research teams. We may use artificial tools for research tasks and editorial chores to supplement our efforts — but never to publish unchecked content. All AI-assisted material is reviewed by humans for accuracy, bias and originality, and we will disclose to you when it is used.

Our team

Our team includes veterans from Bloomberg, The Washington Post, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune and other major media organizations who have extensive experience covering real estate and financial topics.
