“Bryan is an accomplished business leader with a proven track record of executing growth strategies that will be invaluable in his role as chief revenue officer and continuing to deliver strong results in our core real estate business,” Doctorow said. “Arthur is a talented leader and strategist who will focus on expanding our business into the rentals and new homes markets.

Ellis, who joined from home services company Angi (formerly Angie’s List), will oversee Realtor.com’s revenue organization. In addition to Angi, he has also held management positions at Tesla, Cypress Creek Renewables, Solar City, Guthy-Renker, NAMG and Bertelsmann.
Chapin will be taking on the newly created role of chief growth officer, in which he will be responsible for driving and accelerating the company’s expansion into the rental and new homes markets. Before Realtor.com, he spent over 21 years at Expedia Group, where he most recently served as senior vice president and general manager of its lodging business.
“Realtor.com is moving rapidly to innovate and differentiate itself with its open marketplace approach that empowers consumers and real estate professionals and, ultimately, allows us to succeed together,” Ellis said. “I look forward to my new role and working with an amazing team to drive revenue and profits that help achieve the company’s ambitious growth plans and that vision.”
“I’m delighted to take on this new role as chief growth officer at Realtor.com at an exciting and pivotal time in the industry,” said Chapin. “I look forward to bringing my own background and expertise in emerging technologies to continue the company’s progression into new markets and uncover new growth opportunities for its future success.”
