Real estate agent named eighth best in Florida

Geri Westfall, of Adams, Cameron & Co., Realtors, was recently named one of America’s most productive sales associates as a part of REAL Trends America’s Best Real Estate Agents, a ranking report sponsored by Zillow Group.  She is ranked number eight for the state of Florida and is the first to be listed in Volusia County, according to a press release.

REAL Trends listed over 12,000 residential real estate professionals based on their sales during 2015. This group of real estate sales agents represents less than one percent of all real estate practitioners in the United States. To qualify for inclusion, an individual agent must have closed at least 50 transaction sides or $20 million in sales volume in 2015.

“The average residential real estate agent in the United States closed fewer than eight transactions in 2015 and had less than $1.5 million in sales,” says Steve Murray, publisher of REAL Trends. “To say that Geri Westfall is an exceptional sales professional is an understatement.”

Westfall credits her success to her love of people and the fabulous team behind her, according to the press release.

Founded in 1963, Adams, Cameron & Co. is the largest real estate company in the combined Volusia and Flagler Counties with over 250 agents. Visit adamscameron.com or call 253-8044.

New technology speeds up hospital registration

The Florida Hospitals in Volusia and Flagler counties will soon all utilize new technology to register and identify patients. The system will reduce paperwork, improve accuracy and prevent identity theft, according to a press release. 

The technology has been launched at Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center in Daytona Beach and Florida Hospital Flagler in Palm Coast. It is already in use in the Orange City and DeLand locations, and will be added at New Smyrna Beach in 2017.

The device, called PatientSecure, images veins in the hand. It uses infrared light to scan the palm, then links the unique biometric trait to each patient’s electronic health record.

PatientSecure pulls up the patient’s unique medical record, the press release said. It provides protection from medical identity theft because patients no longer need to share personal identifying information.

If a patient without identification arrives at Florida Hospital unconscious or unable to communicate, PatientSecure can quickly identify the individual and open their electronic health record.

Solar-Fit in top 100

Solar-Fit has been ranked one of the top 100 Rooftop Solar Companies in America by Solar Power World magazine. Since its founding in 1975, the company, which has 27 full-time employees, has installed over 16,000 solar systems.
