On December 5th, the Central Panhandle Association of REALTORS® gathered to celebrate leadership, service, and the extraordinary individuals shaping the future of real estate in our region. Among the evening’s most meaningful moments were the recognitions of two remarkable members of our Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beach Properties of Florida team, Broker Jennifer Ledesma and REALTOR® Susan West.
Both women embody the values of professionalism, integrity, and community commitment, and we are incredibly proud to celebrate their well-deserved honors.
