We are thrilled to announce that Leesa Baker has joined our team as the new Director of Sales! We’re confident that she’ll bring tremendous value to our team and customers with her extensive experience and success in the MLS industry.
The rumor mill has been spinning but I now can confirm Lauren Hill has joined Perchwell as their sales director. I spoke with Lauren and she was kind enough to give me a quote,
“I’m absolutely thrilled to join this incredible team that’s passionate about making an impact in the MLS space. They truly have something special to offer and I can’t wait to share this exciting journey with everyone”
Smart move by Perchwell. Having a seasoned rep like Lauren to drive sales and relationship efforts is key. Congrats Lauren! I hope Boston has enough Champagne.
“I’m excited to bring fresh insights from my previous roles at REcolorado and other organizations, to help propel the company into its next chapter. I’m eager to connect with brokers to understand their needs, and implement initiatives that enhance our data offerings. In this highly competitive time for the MLS industry, I see this as an incredible opportunity to not just navigate the challenges, but to use them to elevate REcolorado—creating value for our subscribers and partners while positioning us for success.”
I think most vendors will remember Dana, due to her previous role as Vice President and Chief Business Development Officer at REcolorado. Lots of palace intrigue going on in Denver so she’s definitely got her work cut out for her!

End of an era. What I appreciated about York is that he could be a fierce competitor but we would still be able to shoot the shit together about this crazy business we were both in. Cheers my friend and welcome Eric to the Hotel California.
“Mele took the president role at Homes.com nearly 10 years ago after a run in local news publishing with The Virginian-Pilot. During his tenure with Homes.com, Mele oversaw the company’s acquisition by CoStar in 2021 and its rise as a major player in the home search space.
CoStar CEO Andy Florance confirmed Mele’s departure to Real Estate News, adding that the company is “grateful to David Mele for his contributions to Homes.com” and that the team “wishes him the best” in his future endeavor”
AJ LaTrace, Real Estate News
Sounds like he left on his own terms. Good for him. Having been there from the beginning (starting at Dominion Enterprises) on through the acquisition by CoStar, changing the entire business model, heading HomeSnap and then Super Bowl ads. You gotta believe he has some great stories to tell.

“Following Hale’s announcement, the HAR board of directors unanimously approved current HAR Executive Vice President René Galvan to succeed Hale as HAR president and CEO in 2026. Galvan has served as a critical member of HAR’s management team since 1996 when he was hired as Director of Business Development. In 1999, Galvan was recruited away as CEO of the Realtor Association of Greater Fort Lauderdale, but he returned to HAR as EVP two years later and has held that post ever since.
Asked about his accomplishments during his tenure at HAR, Galvan said, “I am most proud of building a team of incredible professionals, keeping focused on our mission of helping members achieve success, and working closely with staff and leadership to improve service to members while keeping a watchful eye on expenses resulting in no dues increase during the past 21 years.”
“This journey has been one that I will cherish for the rest of my life,” said Hale. “I could not think of anyone more qualified and driven than René Galvan to lead HAR through the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the real estate industry.”

What a journey! 52 years in the arena, fighting the good fight, planning, innovating, leading, teaching, and sharing. Bob’s generosity is unmatched and what he has contributed to this industry can’t be overstated. And what a class act announcing René as his successor at the same time as his retirement.
I know he doesn’t retire till February 2026 but I just want to be the first to say thank you Bob.
