Mark Lesswing, RESO Board Chair stated:  "Speaking on behalf of the RESO Board of Directors, we are thrilled that Mr. Crawford has agreed to join RESO as our new Executive Director. Jeremy has both the required skills and knowledge for the position as has been an active leader in the standards communities for many years. The next era of RESO is upon us.”

“Over the past fifteen years, RESO has successfully driven the creation and adoption of standards for real estate data, proactively driving efficiency and low cost technology innovation using MLS data.  With the game-changing launch of Data Dictionary and API standards alongside a formal certification program in conjunction with the National Association of REALTORS® policy, RESO continues to establish significant standards breakthroughs, directly contributing to the business and technology needs of all industry stakeholders,” Crawford states. “RESO’s current executive director, Robert Gottesman, has led the organization far beyond expectations and has paved the way for standards adoption nationwide,” he adds.  “As the next executive director of RESO, I am excited for the opportunity to build on his success with an immediate focus on fostering standards creation, implementation, adoption, and certification, and a long-term goal of national data standards and industry collaboration across all aspects of real estate data.”
