Robert Bemis

CEO
Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service Inc.

Robert Bemis is CEO of the largest multiple listing service in Arizona, Arizona Regional MLS. The Arizona Association of Realtors voted to acquire ARMLS earlier this year, choosing Bemis to lead the post-acquisition effort to build a statewide MLS in Arizona. But the initiative failed when one of the four associations that own ARMLS decided not to sell. Bemis considers successfully positioning ARMLS "as the go-to source for up-to-the-minute facts and predictions about the future of the housing market in central Arizona" his biggest accomplishment this year. ARMLS added four new publicly available market trends reports to its site this year. The reports are focused on listings market time by price range, the rental market, distressed properties, and pending sales prices.
