Justin Landon

In 2025, Justin Landon orchestrated one of the most significant transformations in the history of organized real estate. As CEO of the MetroTex Association of Realtors®, Landon spearheaded a landmark merger with the Collin County Area REALTORS® (CCAR), a move that expanded MetroTex’s membership to nearly 40,000 professionals. This unification solidified MetroTex’s position as the largest Realtor® association in North Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States. Beyond simple growth, the merger secured majority control of the North Texas Regional Information Systems (NTREIS), providing members with unprecedented influence over regional MLS data and technology.

Landon’s leadership during this transition was defined by operational excellence; he integrated the two major organizations without a single staff reduction or service disruption. Amidst industry-wide practice changes, he remained a steadfast advocate for transparency, hosting dozens of member outreach meetings to navigate the fallout of the NAR settlement.

A third-generation real estate professional with a decade of experience in the U.S. Congress, Landon has leveraged his background in government affairs to strengthen the association’s legislative clout. Calling real estate “one of the last true meritocracies left,” Landon shares that “I’ve devoted my life to that’s given my family three generations of opportunity and inspires me to keep building a future where that opportunity endures.”
