HW Media, publisher of HousingWire, FinLedger, and producer of Engage Events, announced Wednesday it has acquired residential real estate news service REAL Trends for an undisclosed amount.

REAL Trends will continue to publish the REAL Trends 500, The Thousand, and Website Rankings reports on an annual basis, as well as produce the Gathering of Eagles and DealMAKERS events.

“Our mission at HW Media is to inform and engage real estate, financial services and fintech professionals through high-quality news media, insightful reports and analysis, and engaging newsletters and events,” said HW Media founder and CEO Clayton Collin in a statements. “REAL Trends is an incredibly strategic acquisition for our organization that not only accelerates our presence with real estate agents and brokers across the U.S., but also brings new capabilities to HW – specifically, extremely high-quality rankings data, peer groups and in-person event experience.”

REAL Trends, which has been publishing for 34 years, has provided news, analysis and information on the residential brokerage industry.
