IRES MLS names Julie Dahl CEO, succeeding Jeff Bosch
Source: HousingWire ↗
Julie Dahl has been promoted from chief operating officer to chief executive officer of IRES MLS, taking over from Jeff Bosch, who will depart to become CEO of Arizona Regional MLS. Dahl, a 23‑year veteran of the North Colorado multiple‑listing service, joined IRES in 2003 as director of training and communications and has since served as director of operations, vice president of industry relations and COO. The board of managers announced the transition on Wednesday, noting that Dahl will assume the CEO role in the coming weeks while Bosch remains for a transition period before his move to Arizona.
The board highlighted Dahl’s deep institutional knowledge and extensive relationships across both the local brokerage community and the national MLS landscape as the primary reasons for her selection. Her career at IRES has given her hands‑on experience in product training, customer support, internal operations and broker and association outreach, positioning her to guide the organization through ongoing changes in how listing data is shared, monetized and regulated. In addition to her IRES tenure, Dahl has completed the Council of Multiple Listing Services (CMLS) CMLX MLS Professional and Executive programs, served as a CMLS facilitator, and maintains ties with Northern Colorado real‑estate associations and neighboring MLS operators—connections that may prove valuable as regional consolidation, data‑share agreements and evolving compensation rules reshape MLS strategies.
As CEO, Dahl said she will build on the leadership foundation already established while staying close to user needs, focusing on staff support, customer service and operational strength. Board chair David Powell praised her “powerful combination of organizational and industry knowledge plus fresh perspectives, energy and ideas,” expressing confidence that she will take IRES to the next level. Bosch, who led IRES for four years, oversaw modernization of its systems and tools and served on the CMLS board, influencing best practices for MLSs nationwide, before transitioning to his new role in Arizona.
