Johnny Mowad’s leadership was defined by a historic 2025 milestone: the merger of the MetroTex Association of Realtors® and Collin County Area Realtors®. As president of MetroTex, Mowad navigated the largest association merger in U.S. history, creating a unified powerhouse representing nearly 40,000 members. This landmark consolidation did more than combine entities; it amplified regional influence and streamlined professional development, ensuring that North Texas real estate professionals remain at the forefront of the industry.
Beyond the boardroom, Mowad is a national authority on MLS policy, serving as chair of the National Association of Realtors®’ MLS Technology and Emerging Issues Advisory Board. A top producer for Ebby Halliday Realtors®, he bridges the gap between high-level governance and the practical realities of the market. For Mowad, the mission is centered on leaving the industry better than he found it.
“Through my leadership at the local, state and national levels, I’ve been able to influence policies, implement innovations and improve the tools that agents rely on every day,” he shares. “Knowing that my work helps create a more efficient, transparent and forward-thinking MLS, while strengthening the professionalism of our industry, gives me a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment.”
