Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 19, 2008 -- Shapiro & Sher Group, a Las Vegas luxury real estate team, was recently named one of America's top real estate teams. The boutique team is now a member of "The Real Estate Top 200," a prestigious national awards ranking sponsored annually by The Wall Street Journal, lore magazine and REAL Trends.

The Real Estate Top 200 honored the top 50 residential agents and agent teams in four categories:
