CHOOSING THe BeST - Real Estate & Mortgage Data Solutions

cHOOSING

The Best Welcome to the results of the seventh annual Banker & Tradesman readers' poll, in which our readers cast

their votes for the best providers of services and goods in the banking and real estate professions. This is a subjective, not objective, poll. It does not measure who writes the most business, who has the most revenue or the most customers. It does measure the loyalty and satisfaction readers have with vendors. It is an opportunity for readers to speak up for those providers they believe are the best. Since early July, Banker & Tradesman has been conducting an online survey of readers. We promoted this project via house ads in the newspaper, emails to thousands of readers and customers of Banker & Tradesman, and through our website, . Readers responded vigorously to the opportunity to voice their choice, with a total of 28,500 votes. Here are their choices for The Best ? the companies that won the loyalty and support of the Bay State's financial and real estate communities.

Thanks for giving us another banner
