I always like comparing this year’s Swanepoel Power 200 (SP200) list to last year’s. There’s quite a bit of movement overall, but my focus is on the MLS community. This year, it looks like Art Carter, CEO of CRMLS, and Brian Donnellan, CEO of Bright MLS, swapped the top MLS spot on the list.
One move that really jumped out at me was Justin Haag, CEO of Northwest MLS, who climbed 81 spots, from 194 to 113. NWMLS showed real courage by sticking to its guns in its stance against Compass. Other notable jumps came from Emily Girard, Kevin Greene, and Tim Dain. And it was good to see Matt Fowler, CEO of Doorify land at 199—when I was first eligible, that was exactly where I started. Congrats to everyone who made the list.
NOTE: If I forgot anyone, or got something wrong, please let me know and I’ll update the list. Seems like every year I screw up on at least one name.
