Longtime ARMLS exec to retire

After more than two decades with Arizona Regional MLS (ARMLS), CEO Matt Consalvo said he plans to retire in the spring of 2027. Consalvo has led ARMLS since 2012, when he became its fourth CEO after previously serving as COO.

During his 14 years in the CEO role, Consalvo oversaw efforts to modernize the MLS and expand its service into new markets. In addition to co-founding Markt and MLS Aligned, Consalvo has served on NAR committees and also chaired the Council of Multiple Listing Services in 2022.

In a news release, NTREIS CEO Chris Carrillo celebrated "the remarkable journey of a true mentor, industry leader, and friend."

Consalvo "embodies the best of our industry," Carrillo said. "His humility and almost clairvoyant intellect have guided us through challenges, and his unwavering commitment to our MLS community has left an indelible mark."

ARMLS said it will form a committee to search for Consalvo's successor this month. As for Consalvo, the MLS said he will focus on spending time with his family once he leaves his post.

ATTOM announces C-suite promotion

ATTOM has appointed Kara Taylor to be its chief growth officer. Taylor, who previously served as chief marketing officer at the property data and analytics company, will now be responsible for overseeing net-new annual recurring revenue, as well as the systems that support predictable and scalable growth, according to a news release.

As chief growth officer, Taylor will lead ATTOM's customer acquisition and revenue execution model as the company seeks to formalize how revenue is created across the organization. She will also work closely with the executive leadership team to align growth efforts with the company's financial performance.

In her new role, Taylor said her focus will be on "ensuring our commercial execution fully reflects the strength of that foundation by bringing rigor, clarity, and accountability to how we acquire customers, convert pipeline, and deliver durable ARR growth."

As the company scales, "our ability to generate predictable net-new ARR is central to long-term value creation," ATTOM CEO Rob Barber said.

"This role formalizes what Kara has already been driving, which is tighter alignment between strategy and execution, stronger pipeline discipline, and improved forecast reliability," Barber added.
