Congratulations to Teresa Palacios Smith, vice president of Diversity & Inclusion at HSF Affiliates, for being honored with a 2018 Real Estate Newsmaker Award by RISMedia.
According to RISMedia President and CEO John Featherston, “RISMedia’s Real Estate Newsmaker Awards honor the industry’s real newsmakers: the people who are positively affecting our industry and the millions of consumers we serve. Our industry promotes and provides consumers with a pathway to responsible homeownership. Over the past three-plus decades, RISMedia has covered, chronicled and celebrated the professionals making news in real estate, and we are honored to be formalizing these honors starting with the first annual RISMedia Real Estate Newsmaker Awards.”
“I am flattered to receive an inaugural Real Estate Newsmaker Award from RISMedia, and so pleased RISMedia recognizes that all-inclusive real estate is indeed both a notable and newsworthy cause and achievement,” said Palacios Smith. “The award calls attention to the work we’re doing at HSF Affiliates to increase diversity in our brokerage networks and industry overall. We’re proud of our progress and know there is much work to be done.”
The awards were presented at a ceremony at the prestigious National Press Club in Washington, D.C., in conjunction with the National Association of REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo taking place during the week. Ron Peltier, chairman and CEO of HomeServices of America, Inc., also received a Real Estate Newsmaker Award during the ceremony.
