Russ Bergeron joins Real Estate Digital!

That didn’t take long! Seems just like yesterday when Russ announced he as leaving his position of CEO of MRED, LLC. Flash forward to today and I just spoke with Russ this morning, calling from Aliso Viejo, and he shared with me he joined Real Estate Digital and VP of their data licensing group.

He will head a relatively new group that includes; Jay Huffman (also a former CEO of MRED,LLC/MLSNI), Lisa Powell – recently of TheMLS/CLAW and Paul Dixon, – of Homes.com. Its a sort of homecoming for Russ. Many of RED’s employees have history back in the OCMLS and SoCalMLS days here in Orange County. When I spoke to Russ he was excited about being back in Orange County, and about joining RED because they have always been very “industry friendly and focused” and a great group of people. I couldn’t agree more.

Its a great fit for both Russ and RED. Currently RED manages over 1200 data feeds. That’s a helluva a lot of data to manage and track. This gives RED, and its new owner Nationstar, an individual that understands the importance and nuances of MLS data and, just as important, the industry’s trust. Congrats!
