Krista Mashore of Realty World – Pigati & Russell Realtors in Brentwood has been named one of America’s top real estate professional teams by The Wall Street Journal and REAL Trends. Mashore is now a member of the Top 400 Real Estate Professionals, a prestigious national ranking sponsored annually by the two respected publications and ranked in the top ½ of 1 percent of the more than 1.1 million Realtors nationwide.

The Top 400 Real Estate Professionals list was announced in August. Mashore’s 128 transaction sides earned her a ranking of 78th in the nation for the number of transaction sides by an individual agent.

“The best individual agents and teams – including Krista Mashore’s award-winning efforts – were nothing short of phenomenal considering the challenging real estate market,” said Steve Murray, founder of Denver-based publishing and communications company REAL Trends, which compiled the list.

According to Marti Gallardo, vice president of classified advertising for The Wall Street Journal, “Becoming a member of such an elite group as the Top 400 Real Estate Professionals is an incredible accomplishment in any market, but what Krista Mashore did during these challenging times is impressive on so many levels. Her efforts topped 99.99 percent of the more than 1.1 million Realtors nationwide.”

“I am absolutely thrilled to be named to The Real Estate top 400,” said Mashore, who serves clients primarily in California. “Even with the market’s challenges, it’s incredibly gratifying to help clients find their dream homes as well as help them sell their properties quickly and for the highest price possible.”
