The teams that were honored are truly dedicated to their businesses and to their clients. They work around the clock to rise above the challenges of the market and economy to continue selling homes."

Three Americana Group branch offices were recognized in PREA's Top Ten, with the nation's number one spot going to its Sahara branch.
