The Bev Reed Award, named after the renowned real estate pioneer, Bev Reed, is presented annually to an individual who exemplifies the spirit of innovation, collaboration, and tireless commitment to the real estate community.

SWMLS Executive Director Richard Gibbens was presented the Bev Reed Award during the July FBS Summit for his notable contributions to the real estate community and his emphasis on fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among professionals. He has championed initiatives that encourage networking and cooperation, understanding that a united community strengthens each member individually. By building bridges between brokers and service providers, Gibbens has not only elevated SWMLS but also nurtured an environment of growth and learning.

Richard Gibbens, in partnership with the SWMLS Board of Directors commitment to innovation is commendable. Together they recognize the transformative power of technology and the adoption of cutting-edge solutions within the industry. Through strategic partnerships and forward-looking policies, SWMLS has ensured that members stay ahead of the curve in terms of digital tools, data analytics, and customer experience. This has empowered members to better serve their clients and drive the industry towards a brighter future.
