Residential Properties Ltd. (RPL) honored the top producers of the firm at a luncheon sponsored by president and CEO, Sally Lapides. This year had some added special achievements, since Gerri Schiffman not only led the group, but was also the number one producing individual agent in the state in gross sales volume. Judy Chace from the Narragansett office was also specially recognized, as she was the second highest producing agent, by gross sales volume, in the state. Overall, thirty agents were recognized as top producers for their contributions during 2011. Lapides said, "These agents represent the best of the best, not only for the quantity of what they sell, but also for the integrity and knowledge they bring to every transaction. They truly stand out in the real estate field by providing the knowledge and wisdom of their local market to buyers and sellers. We hire selectively, and although we can't honor everyone in the company, we are proud of all 160 of our agents."
