PROGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP
Letter from Our CEO
“Metro MLS has existed since 1962 to assist Realtors with timely, accurate real estate data in Wisconsin and the surrounding area. We pride ourselves on being Wisconsin’s largest and leading Multiple Listing Service and a market innovator when it comes to the technology and resources we provide our more than 9,000 members. I have had the privilege of serving as Metro MLS’s Chief Executive Officer since August 2011. In my tenure, it has been imperative that Metro MLS has a member-focused approach that prioritizes cooperation and fair housing. We want to remain a trusted resource for our members and play a valuable role in helping them succeed in the marketplace. As we move forward, we will continue to operate by our five core values to remain one of the country’s top MLSs with a focus on pushing the industry forward.”
– Chris Carrillo, CEO
