Tony Luna received the Aqua Award at Lake Homes Realty’s National Agent Summit for his exceptional achievements in real estate.

The Aqua Award is given to agents with a total transaction volume between $3.5 million and $10 million with 20 or more transition sides with a total transaction volume of $2.5 million or greater between September 1, 2023, and August 31, 2024.

It should be noted that total transaction volume is the sum of the property sale price of each transaction side represented, even if the side represented was shared with another agent.

“Tony continues to impress with his hard work and dedication, year after year, and we are proud to present him with this major award,” said Glenn S. Phillips, CEO of Lake Homes Realty. “The Aqua Award is one of our company’s most prestigious honors,” Phillips said. “Agents like Tony are why Lake Homes Realty is one of the fastest-growing companies in the country.”
