Missouri MLS vet tapped to lead IRES

LOVELAND —  Jeff Bosch, a multiple-listing service official in Missouri, has been hired to serve as the new CEO of Information and Real Estate Services LLC, the MLS for Northern Colorado and the Boulder Valley.

Bosch will take over effective Jan. 1, 2022, from IRES’ long-time, retiring CEO Lauren Hansen.

“I care passionately about providing unparalleled customer service and enabling subscribers to meet evolving consumer demands in the ever-evolving world of real estate through better access to data, improved data quality and state-of-the-art tools,” Bosch said in a prepared statement. “I am honored to join the IRES team and look forward to collaborating closely with IRES’ talented staff to continue assisting subscribers and shaping the future of real estate in the Centennial State.”

Bosch’s resume, according to an IRES news release, includes roles as CEO of St. Louis-based MLS MARIS and chairman of Missouri MLS Administrators.

“Jeff is the right person for this position on a myriad of levels, and we are thrilled he will be helping us manage through changes impacting the MLS landscape across Colorado’s scorching real estate market,” IRES chairman Kevin Barrier said in a statement. “It feels tremendous to hand over the reins to someone as qualified as Jeff is, and with his exceptional track record of reinforcing MLS initiatives and changing industry culture, we believe he is the ideal CEO to lead IRES in its next chapter of growth and success.”

Hansen will remain with IRES through January to assist with the transition.

“For the past four decades, I have witnessed the incredible growth and evolution of real estate technology and services and had the pleasure of providing excellent customer service, empowering IRES subscribers to meet evolving consumer demands,” Hansen said in a statement. “Under Jeff’s leadership, I am confident IRES will continue to raise the bar in our quickly evolving industry by developing and integrating new solutions that answer the most pressing needs of our brokers and Realtors and their customers — homebuyers and sellers in Colorado.”
