The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) has named Edwin Acevedo as its 2025 President-elect and appointed Olivia Chavez and Magda Esola to its National Board of Directors.
Acevedo gained prominence as the founder of Lotus Group Real Estate, which became Downey, California’s fastest-growing independent real estate brokerage in 2016. In 2022, he franchised his brokerage with Century 21, creating Century 21 LOTUS, now operating across three counties.
Chavez is a realtor with Mission Real Estate in San Fernando, California, and Esola is vice president of sales at Brookline Homes in Charlotte, North Carolina. The official induction of Acevedo and the installation of the 2025 board of directors will take place during the 2025 Homeownership and Housing Policy Conference, which will be held March 24-26 in Washington, DC.
“I am thrilled to welcome these outstanding leaders to our National Board,” said NAHREP Co-founder and CEO Gary Acosta. “Edwin, Olivia, and Magda exemplify servant-leadership at its finest. Their expertise will be invaluable in driving our mission forward.”
“NAHREP’s future is looking bright with Edwin Acevedo stepping up as our new President-elect,” added Nora Aguirre, 2024 President. “Magda and Olivia joining the board brings fresh, dynamic perspectives to our leadership team. These individuals truly embody the grit and commitment that NAHREP stands for. Their energy and expertise will be crucial as we continue to grow and make a lasting impact in our community.”
