The main multiple listings service for Massachusetts announced it has chosen a new leader to replace retiring President and CEO Kathy Condon.

Condon has been with MLS PIN for 23 years.

She will be replaced as president and CEO of the independent, Realtor- and broker-owned company by Erminio Grasso, the former Coldwell Banker regional vice president for Boston. Grasso had spent 18 years at Coldwell Banker and been an MLS PIN board member for several years.

“MLS PIN is known for fielding one of the most experienced and customer-centric leadership groups – all of whom are MLS experts,” Grasso said in a statement. “Together with this talented team, MLS PIN will continue to find innovative ways that serve our broker and agent customers and strengthen our bond and, at the same time, maximize stockholder value.”

Roy Walker, MLS PIN Board Chair and Vice President/Managing Broker Coldwell Banker Realty – Cambridge, said the strategic appointment of Grasso brings to MLS PIN’s leadership an experienced broker’s view to its helm, backed by 22 years of sales and operations management accomplishments.

“As a native New Englander, Erminio understands our area’s unique needs, including our politics and our culture,” Walker said. “Most importantly, after two decades in the brokerage world, he deeply understands our customers and has proven his ability to grow businesses and get things done.”
