Jupiter, FL ― Feb. 1, 2021 ― Dawn Pfaff, president and CEO of State Listings, Inc., owner of My State MLS, NY State MLS and LA State MLS, has been selected as an RISMedia 2021 Real Estate Newsmaker. The recognition honors real estate professionals who made headlines in 2020 as a result of their newsworthy contributions to the industry, and for their efforts to positively affect the consumers and communities they serve, amid an unprecedented year of challenge during the coronavirus pandemic. 

Pfaff founded State Listings, Inc. in 2009 as NY State MLS to fill a void in the market and offer agents and brokers their own statewide MLS, featuring streamlined listing options, ownership of data and a variety of enhanced tools to fit their unique needs. In 2015, the company expanded to My State MLS in response to a nationwide demand. LA State MLS debuted in October 2020. Today, it covers all 50 states and Puerto Rico with more than 50,000 members, making it one of the largest MLS platforms in the country.

The technology platform now offers a full suite of custom solutions, educational services, webinars, and serves as a resource for its members and real estate professionals across the industry. The software allows members to list all property types including residential, commercial, land, multi-unit, manufactured on leased land, business, rental, seasonal/vacation rental and more.

Pfaff is a technology entrepreneur who has been involved in the real estate industry for the past 20 years from nearly every angle possible. She is an appraiser, agent, broker, dealer for manufactured housing, licensed instructor to teach continuing education, and investor.

“I am thrilled to be named an RISMedia 2021 Real Estate Newsmaker,” said Pfaff. “Throughout the unprecedented events of 2020, we pivoted to successfully utilize online real estate sales, offer our members free educational content, helping them to succeed.”
