The www.realtor.com page has 138 XHTML errors and 274 CSS errors.
Garbage in = garbage out.

Many browsers -- including both IE and Gecko-based browsers -- are
designed to "guess" what a Web author means when errors are found.  Some
guess one way, and other guess another way, and yet others guess even a
different way.

It might be a coincidence that IE guessed correctly.  Or it might be
that the page was designed by someone who doesn't know that IE is NOT
the only browser.  I suspect the latter since the Web server is a
Micro$oft product running on a PC under Windows.

If I go to my SeaMonkey menu bar and select [View > Use Style > None],
the text is no longer overlapped.

Yes, the problem lies within the Web site.
