Connie Seiser: One in a Million

Blissfield Michigan’s Connie Seiser, authorized sales representative for Riverbend Timber Framing, hasn’t let the flagging economy slow her down. For the third year in a row, Seiser has won Riverbend’s President’s Award for sales of $1 million or more in a calendar year.

Seiser received the award at a special reception in Calgary, AB, home of Riverbend’s parent company, PFB Corp. She and husband John were also guests of honor at a dinner hosted by C. Alan Smith, the company’s president and CEO, and attended by Charles Meyer, Riverbend’s vice president.

Seiser serves Southeast Lower Michigan and the Traverse City area, often partnering with builders to ensure seamless completion of her jobs. Seiser worked with builder Robert Burnside on his Dexter home, which was certified LEED Platinum for its sustainability and is currently featured in the December issues of Timber Home Living, Smart Homeowner, and Fine Homebuilding magazines.

Seiser and her husband John live in an 1870s home they meticulously restored themselves. They have four grown sons and six grandchildren.
