Best Realtors in 2008 - WE WON!

Every year the City View newspaper publishes their "Best Of" edition. There are tons of categories, all voted on by the public. New this year was Realtor category. Here's our write-up from their current edition.

Winner of Best Realtor, The Eisenlauer Team. In these troubled times, a good realtor can be hard to find. Being a new category this year, we assumed the winner would be a single person, but we soon found out there is an "I in team," as the Eisenlauer Team took the top honors. With more than 30 years of experience, this family knows how to sell houses. But according to the votes, experience isn't everything, as the youthful, dynamic duo of Dave Welch and Seth Walker almost took the top spot.

Thanks to all of you who visited City View's site and logged a vote of confidence in the Eisenlauer Team. We appreciate you!
