Local Realtor Earns Most Prestigious of all Industry Achievements

Norwalk, CT – 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.

Top 5 enables successful real estate agents to increase their personal marketing share through the effective use of Personal Branding, Information Technology, Social Networking and Peer-to-Peer Real Estate Brainstorming, Coaching and Networking. To qualify, each member must first meet a stringent set of criteria, based upon performance, as well as educational and professional skills and service to the consumer. Members of the Network are carefully selected and managed by RISMedia, which has provided the real estate industry with objective, unbiased news for nearly 30 years.

Allan Dalton, president and co-founder of RISMedia’s Top 5 Network and John Featherston, RISMedia’s CEO & publisher and co-founder of the Top 5 in Real Estate Network® congratulated Phaff for earning this top status within the industry. “David has reached the very highest level of North America’s residential real estate industry. Not only are his professional accomplishments extraordinary, he has long been a true champion for home buyers and sellers in his area.”

With over 30 years of experience, David Phaff has been recognized as a top negotiator, a leader in the Capital District community and for setting sales records. His keen eye for detail and his 99.5% customer service rating are unequalled. Phaff’s primary market includes the metro Albany area, and his style is a cross between that of a teacher, a watchful parent and a strong client advocate. His background in construction and marketing benefits each of his clients, whether they are going through the buying or selling process. Phaff was listed in the top 100 Realtors by the Business Review, and is also ranked in the top 1% of all agents regionally.
