Jerry Legrand

Jerry Legrand redefined the technological landscape for APEX MLS in 2025, spearheading a series of transformative initiatives that bolstered data integrity and member engagement. Most notably, Legrand launched an innovative compliance software and process that achieved a 40% reduction in data errors, ensuring over 6,000 real estate professionals have access to the highest quality MLS data. He further expanded the organization’s reach by developing a dedicated commercial platform for 1,000 CIE members and directing a comprehensive rebranding to APEX MLS, which introduced a modernized suite of digital assets and marketing tools.

With more than two decades of IT leadership, including his tenure as CTO for the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors® since 2011, Legrand is a recognized authority on MLS policy and innovation. A 2025 graduate of the CMLX3 program and a recipient of the 2025 FBS Bev Reed Award, he actively shapes industry standards through his work on the National Association of Realtors®’ Multiple Listing Issues and Policies Committee.

“The most rewarding part of my career has been my ability to shepherd our MLS through the turbulent times that the industry has suffered, while ensuring our technology platforms allow our members to serve their clients,” Legrand says. “I am continually honored to be a part of that mission.”
