Real estate industry veteran Dave Collins has left his post at RELO to join LendingTree LLC as the head of its RealEstate.com Broker Network, which consists of more than 750 real estate companies from throughout the country.
As vice president of the RealEstate.com Broker Network, Collins will be responsible for guiding the network through its next phase of growth as the company more aggressively markets the RealEstate.com brand to drive increasing levels of consumer traffic to its partners. In particular, he will work with network partners to devise strategies for handling increasing customer volume, and will further institutionalize the utilization of best practices for closing transactions through e-commerce channels.
Collins has served since 2000 as the senior vice president, network services for RELO, based in Chicago, where he was responsible for growing and managing its national broker network. Prior to that, Collins was vice president, relocation, for Edina Realty Home Services in Minneapolis, where he held overall operational responsibility for its relocation division. From 1988 to 1996, Collins held a series of increasingly responsible roles with PHH Relocation Services in Oakbrook, Ill.
RealEstate.com is owned and operated by LendingTree LLC, which is part of IAC Financial Services and Real Estate, an operating business of IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ: IACI), which also owns or operates LendingTree Loans, LendingTree Settlement Services, GetSmart Lending, Domania, iNest, and ServiceMagic Real Estate.
