A new role at realtor.com — the property portal owned and operated by News Corp. subsidiary Move, Inc. — will focus specifically on the top MLSs in the country.

Who’s filling those shoes? David Phillips, who was most recently the CEO at Pennsylvania Association of Realtors.

“Phillips will be responsible for managing relationships with MLSs around the country,” said realtor.com in a statement this morning, adding that Phillips will begin working at realtor.com this fall.

“Dave is a significant addition to our team,” said Suzanne Zinn Mueller, Move’s senior vice president of industry relations, in a statement. “His extensive industry relationships and hands on experience at the helm of both an MLS and association will allow for even greater collaboration between realtor.com and our industry partners.”

Phillips added in the statement, “Ever since the News Corp. acquisition, there is a new and exciting energy at realtor.com. This is a great opportunity for me to use my experience to be part of something special.”

Phillips was also the CEO of the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors for 12 years.
