Realtor.com and America Online will announce an exclusive deal today to make more than 1 million real estate listings available to AOL members as well as on the World Wide Web. Realtor.com, which is operated by privately held RealSelect of Westlake Village, will receive at least $14 million in payments from AOL over three years, and both companies will share in advertising and transaction revenue. Realtor.com also plans to announce exclusive distribution agreements with InfoSeek, Lycos and Athome Network. AOL shares fell $2.06 to close at $72.75 on the New York Stock Exchange.
