Sometimes second place isn't all that bad.

Sometimes second place isn't all that bad.

Illustrated Properties real estate agent Mindy Heilman raised $65,000 vying for the Palm Beach chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's 2004 Woman of the Year title. That would have earned her the honor in any previous year.

This year, however, she came in second to Jill DiSalvo of Fidelity Federal Savings Bank and Trust, who raised $85,000 in the eight-week competition.

Heilman, a recent FAU grad who already has sold more than $5 million worth of real estate, is the daughter of top-producing Illustrated agent Barbara Heilman.
