As Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer for MRED, Chris Haran is responsible for driving the strategic vision, and bringing together people, ideas and resources to be servant leaders. Prior to joining the MLS world, Haran worked his way up through various levels of the marketing and operations departments at a leading residential brokerage. In supporting agents in their quest to adopt new technologies, Haran broke down disruptive concepts into why they matter to future business and helped overcome the fear of the new. Haran finds the out of office message to be the most effective way to display personality online, by showing that you have a life offline. Try and catch him not in the office someday!
