- Austin American-Statesman’s Lori Hawkins

“News Corp., one of the world’s largest media companies, announced Wednesday that its subsidiary, Move, Inc. has entered into an agreement to buy Austin-based Opcity for $210 million.

New York-based News Corp. reported Opcity will broaden its offerings under its brand realtor.com and give consumers more choice when it comes to buying a home, according to a news release.

In 2016, Opcity launched. Ben Rubenstein and Michael Lam, co-founders, created a technology platform to match home buyers and sellers with top real estate agents through brokers with no initial cost. Opcity’s platform relies heavily on data and analytics.”
