PANAMA CITY – June 13, 2022 - In recognition of National Homeownership Month in June, the Central Panhandle Association of Realtors® CEO Debbie Ashbrook, issued the following statement:

“National Homeownership Month is a time to celebrate and promote the modern American Dream of owning a home.

“Homeownership changes lives and enhances futures, and many Americans see it as one of their greatest hopes. These individuals are counting on the nation’s 1.3 million Realtors® to champion and protect homeownership and help make it more affordable, attainable and sustainable.

“Realtors® pledge to continue to lead efforts to ensure that the dream of homeownership is not only possible, but very real, for any and all who want to achieve it, so they can have a place of their own to make memories, start growing their financial futures, and build strong communities.”
