A prestigious panel of judges including, Diane Lucidi, CEO of the Greater Philadelphia Association of REALTORS®; Debra Lee Baxter, Sales Manager for Bucks County home property, Poet's Walk; Tracy Seng, Director of Marketing for Philadelphia Magazine and Noah Stein, of Philadelphia STYLE, scored realtors based on merit, contributions to the community and presence on the runway.
