Steamboat RE/MAX team honored

Ken Gold and the Gold Team at RE/MAX Steamboat, composed of Val Lish, Lisa Ruffino and Liz Langely, were named the No. 1 real estate team in the Mountain States Region three times in 2007. The Mountain States Region consists of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota.

The Gold Team also ranked 17th in the entire country, despite being in a small market and competing against RE/MAX brokers in all major U.S. cities.
