Richard Gibbens is originally from Panama City, FL, but moved to New Mexico in 2021 to take a new position as the MLS Director for Southwest MLS. A firm believer in industry participation and innovation, Richard has served on multiple workgroups across CMLS, RESO, and NAR and holds the CMLX2, RED-B, AHWD and C2EX designations. Richard, his wife Kayla, and his daughter Claire all agree that Green Hatch is the superior Chile, and are adjusting well to the low humidity and great weather of New Mexico. Richard is a Florida Gator alumni, an unfortunate Miami Dolphins fan, an avid AFOL (Adult Fan of LEGO), and enjoys traversing the great outdoors via hiking or off-roading in his Jeep.
