More than just a sales driven recognition, the Top 5 in
Real Estate Network meets a need that heretofore has
never been addressed - helping consumers identify the
most professional real estate agents in North America.
To
qualify, each member must first meet a stringent
set of criteria. Such criteria are based upon performance,
educational assistance, professional skills and service to
the consumer.
John Featherston, Chairman of RISMedia, congratulated
Laura Durham for earning this top status within the industry. “Laura has reached the very highest level of
North America’s residential real estate industry. Not
only are her professional accomplishments extraordinary, she has long been a true champion for homebuyers
and sellers in her area, It is a pleasure to welcome
Laura into this elite group of industry leaders.”
Whether you have extra guests or are looking for a
last minute getaway, phone Melanie in our Vacation
Rental Department and she will be happy to book the
perfect property for you and your friends and family.
