Prudential Homesale Services Group last week opened its 27th office, in the Harbor East/Fells Point section of Baltimore.

Prudential Homesale acquired five other offices in Maryland, including one in the Federal Hill section of Baltimore, a year ago.

The latest office opened with 16 agents and eventually will grow to 40.

Formed in January 1997 by the merger of Concept 100 Real Estate and Coldwell Banker Slaugh & Co., Prudential Homesale started with eight offices but has grown into the biggest homeseller in southcentral Pennsylvania and 30th in the nation.

A Manor Township farming family won three awards in the 2012 National Corn Growers' Association state corn-yield competition.

Eric Charles won first place in the no-till/strip-till irrigated division with 262 bushels per acre. His brother Darren won second in the "A" no-till/strip-till non-irrigated division with 269 bushels per acre. Their father, Clifford, won second in the "A" non-irrigated division with 285 bushels per acre.

The three Charleses, who all planted a Pioneer-brand hybrid, are from Charles Farm, 2927 Charlestown Road.
