Throughout the years Northern Colorado's Real Estate community has been familiar with Lauren Hansen as a forward thinking leader with the ability to pilot  ever-changing waters gracefully. While innovation & a deep commitment to customer service have been central to her personal brand as CEO, there is a third pillar  that is less well-known. Humor. In this episode we look back at some of the strange, funny, and surprising stories from over the course of her career. Grab a cup of coffee and laugh with us!

In this very special episode, we sit down with Lauren Hansen to discuss her impactful career in the MLS industry. Topics range from who her greatest mentor was, to what the MLS industry faces going forward, to how being an artist influenced her professional trajectory. Lauren began her path as Executive Officer of the Estes Park Board of Realtors. An early adopter of technology, she went on to become Executive Director of Tri-City Services, Inc. before taking the lead at IRES MLS. Evolving from the days of physical books and ledgers to developing the custom system that is IRES's current platform, Lauren brings her experience and insight in a discussion you won't want to miss!

Follow along with JP Pleitner, Product Manager at IRES MLS, and Jennifer Addair, Director of Product Management at REcolorado as they unveil the latest and greatest in the data exchange between Northern Colorado's MLSs.

What's the buzz all about? Public sites will now display listings from both MLSs! This is a big deal when it comes to your public image, as well as maximizing exposure for listings. Listen in as Delana, E-Learning and Marketing Manager at IRES leads the discussion right here, on IRES Matters.
