In his own words: What Matt Consalvo wants you to know
The ARMLS CEO, who recently retired after 14 years at the Arizona MLS, is dying. In an exclusive video, he reflects on his life and the industry’s future.
In mid-October, Real Estate News spoke at length with Matt Consalvo, the longtime CEO of ARMLS. He shared candid thoughts about his ALS diagnosis, his perspective on life and how the industry needs to change, which we recently published as a two-part feature.
We also wanted to give Matt the opportunity to speak directly to his colleagues, friends and industry peers. He agreed to a second on-camera interview in November.
During the conversation, he acknowledged that facing a terminal illness wasn't part of his retirement plan, but he also expressed gratitude for the life he has lived. "I'm thankful I lived every moment to the fullest I could afford, the fullest I could invest into that time," Matt said.
"Why be public? Because I have friends that I know need to hear the message, and I have people I never met that I want to hear the message."
