In 2024, Brian Donnellan led Bright MLS’ successful implementation of the industry rule changes while keeping Bright’s focus on helping agents and brokers succeed in the new era of real estate, including Nestfully, new partnerships and collaborations, and building a superior listing management experience.
The landscape of the real estate industry has changed, but the work that agents and brokers do best — connecting buyers and sellers — hasn’t. Agents and brokers provide high value to homebuyers and sellers, connecting them to their next home while providing expert advice that only agents can. Donnellan keeps agents and brokers — and their work building their businesses — squarely at the center of every collaboration and initiative. In 2024, Bright’s research team reached new heights in providing strategic insights and unique research to help agents and brokers succeed.
Through the company’s research, Bright has taken a leadership role in positioning the MLS as the industry source that supports a fair, competitive marketplace in the most important transaction in a consumer’s lifetime. In addition, in 2024, Bright successfully implemented a number of key collaborations with leading industry vendors, all of which help agents do their jobs faster and better.
Donnellan is steering Bright MLS toward the future as a technology-driven information services and data distribution company. He has crafted a strategy that preserves the essential principles of the MLS, ensuring a solid foundation while enabling Bright to innovate and function as a leading listing marketplace. He stays ahead of the key drivers of change in the real estate industry, helping agents and brokers face industry challenges from emerging trends.
