Colette Stevenson

In 2025, Colette Stevenson continued to transform the MLS landscape as CEO of REsides. She launched strategic technology partnerships, including with Rayse to enhance agent-client transparency, Earnnest for secure digital payments and the Direct! platform for borderless listings—expanding broker reach and streamlining transactions.

Stevenson also introduced tiered subscription plans—Essential, Select and Premier—providing brokers and agents scalable solutions while increasing dividends by 50% and broadening investment opportunities. She further advanced industry advocacy by critiquing the Clear Cooperation Policy and promoting flexible solutions like Delayed Listing and Universal Lockbox integrations.

Under her leadership, REsides opened a new Georgia office to support expansion and strengthen regional operations. Stevenson’s strategic foresight and commitment to empowering brokers and agents with tools, transparency and equity have cemented REsides’ reputation as a forward-thinking, tech-driven MLS.

“As CEO, I’ve had the privilege of shaping an organization that doesn’t just adapt to change—it leads it. Seeing brokers and agents thrive because of the tools, transparency and equity we’ve introduced is deeply fulfilling,” she says. “It’s not just about business growth; it’s about creating a platform where professionals feel seen, supported and equipped to succeed on their own terms. That impact—on people, on the industry and on the future—is what drives me every day.”
