Five Star Professional Honor

by Liz Warren

I happy to say I was nominated as a 5 Star Agent for 2011 by my past clients and industry colleagues. Thank you to all who voted for me. I am honored to be a part of this select real estate group and humbled. 

 

                   Five Star Professional Award for 2012                     Portland Monthly Magazine April 2012

The award winners appear in a special section in the April issue of Portland Monthly. Five Star Professional partnered with Portland Monthly to conduct research to identify a select group of real estate agents who are exceptional in both their ability and their commitment to overall satisfaction. Fewer than seven percent of the 10,000 Portland area residents holding real estate licenses were selected. A survey was provided to all Portland area residents who purchased a home over $100,000 within a 36-month period (June 2007 to June 2010), 7,000 subscribers of Portland Monthly and 250 mortgage and title companies. 

Respondents were asked to evaluate real estate agents they knew through personal experience and to evaluate them based on nine criteria. Both negative and positive evaluations were included in the scoring. All qualified real estate agents were screened with the state Real Estate Commission’s database to verify that licenses were current and no disciplinary actions were pending. The final list was reviewed by a panel of local realty company executives, professional and trade association officers and others directly involved in housing-related businesses. 

Five Star Professional provides localized, independent client satisfaction research on the performance of service professionals. Five Star Professional conducts research with consumers, and industry peers and leaders, to identify service professionals who score highest in overall satisfaction. Award candidates also undergo a thorough regulatory review. 

Five Star Professional joins forces with city and regional magazines to make the research results available to consumers in more than 45 markets across the United States and now, Canada. Five Star Professional was founded in 2005 and is based in Minneapolis. For more information, go to: www.fivestarprofessional.com.

Numbers are out from the Regional Multiple Listing Service for the Mt. Hood Area. March 2012 statistics are listed in this chart: New listings are coming on the market fairly quickly as we foresee a very competitive summer coming up this year. Pending sales are way up from a year ago likely reflecting the investors and second home buyers scooping up great homes with incredible prices. Market times are still quite long with 182 day averages for current month sales. With Mt. Hood foreclosures making up 50% of sales this month, the impact on pricing will be downward with more foreclosures hitting the market this year. Oregon has 12.5 months of shadow inventory to get through. (see below RMLS chart)
