Council of Multiple Listing Services Names Jessica Edgerton as Chief Executive Officer
In her work with LeadingRE, Edgerton supported a global network of more than 500 brokerages across 70 countries, many of which operate in markets without an MLS system. That perspective gives her a firsthand understanding of the value MLSs create through complete, accurate, and trusted real estate information.
“Through my work with brokerages around the world, I have seen what real estate markets look like when professionals and consumers do not have access to the complete, trusted information an MLS provides,” said Edgerton. “It gives me an even deeper appreciation for the MLS as essential market infrastructure and for the leaders who make that system work every day.”
Interesting choice, and I think ultimately a good one. Her time at NAR and her legal background are certainly a plus. Having worked in the LeadingRE could also help CMLS break through in getting its message across to brokers.
CMLS deserves a leader who will stick up for the hundreds of people who work at MLS organizations across the country. Best wishes to Jessica — the thing I’m most impressed with is that she’s taking on this role in such a crazy environment. We could use a lot more of that chutzpah! God speed!
Jessica is an amazing choice. She will no doubt raise the organization to an entirely new level. She is wicked smart, poised, and genuine. This will be fun to watch! It gives me so much hope for the future of the industry and CMLS! Bravo! Congrats Jessica and CMLS!
