"On behalf of the team at Carmel Realty Company, thank you to our neighbors for honoring us with our second Golden Pine Cone. The Carmel Pine Cone polls it's 10,500 subscribers for insight into the best restaurants, plumbers, pet boarding...just to name few.  Our agents, property management team and support staff's commitment to service and their connections to the Monterey Peninsula allow us to provide  an exemplary product.  As we prepare for our 100th anniversary in 2013, we look forward to continuing our commitment to service and perhaps a few more Golden Pine Cones." - Malone Hodges
