About Peter Shuttleworth

Peter Shuttleworth was the Executive Vice President of Metro MLS for 27 years. Under his leadership he built an effective Regional MLS by building on successful relationships between brokers, agents, Associations, and the idea that data should flow without boundaries. Under his leadership he partnered with Wisconsin MLSs to create a statewide data share, WIREX that continues to promote cooperation among all Real Estate practitioners throughout the state. Peter also saw the need to better serve real estate professionals by empowering them with the most accurate and up to date public records possible. As a result, Peter built WIREData to act as the collection agent of all public record data throughout the state of Wisconsin.

In addition to his many contributions in the Greater Milwaukee Area and Wisconsin, Peter was a trusted and consistent voice throughout the industry. Peter served on many NAR workgroups and committees in many capacities. He also served on the CMLS Board of Directors for many years, serving as both President and as a host for the CMLS 2003 conference. His ability to handle complex issues and manage the personalities that came with them is a rare commodity.

Peter’s motto of, “You should always have a seat at the table to listen, participate and help shape ideas” is an ideal that all MLS Executives should desire. When Peter retired he left a legacy of integrity, professionalism and resoluteness to serve as the standard for any MLS Executive to aspire to be.
