The Commercial Record’s Best of 2024

Welcome to the results of the 17th annual Commercial Records 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 serves 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. 

The Commercial Record has since the fall been conducting an online survey of readers. We promoted this project via emails to readers and customers of The Commercial Record, and through its website. Readers responded to voice their opinions. Here are their choices for The Best – the companies that won the loyalty and support of Connecticut’s financial and real estate communities.
