My 11th St. Louis Magazine Five-Star Award!

How exciting! Word just came in that for the 11th time in my 20-year career, I will be featured in the April edition of St. Louis Magazine...

... as one of the year's top St. Louis Realtors in Customer Satisfaction surveys and reviews. As the Five Star Award is given to less than 4% of the area's Realtors each year, it is a tremendous honor to be recognized. 

A very humble and sincere thank you to my beloved clients and friends for your continued business, referrals, and positive survey reviews!  My real estate business is truly based upon the faith that others put in me.  Your trust and support means absolutely everything to me.  

THANK YOU, sweet friends!💛

What an terrific way to start off a brand new year! I just learned...

... that I have once-again been named a St. Louis Five Star Real Estate Agent, to be featured in the April 2018 edition of St. Louis Magazine.🌟  So exciting, exciting!

Award Methodology:

To receive the Five Star Real Estate Agent award, a real estate agent must satisfy 5 objective evaluation eligibility criteria that are associated with real estate agents who provide quality services to their clients. Clients are defined as area residents who purchased a home over $100,000-$200,000 within a 8-36 month period depending on market size. Recent homebuyers are then asked to evaluate a real estate agent they have worked with on ten criteria: customer service, integrity, market knowledge, communication, negotiation, closing preparation, finds the right home, marketing of home, post sale service and overall satisfaction. 

Additionally, respondents are asked whether they would recommend the agent to a friend. This information is incorporated into a scoring algorithm client satisfaction rating. Recent homebuyers may evaluate up to two real estate agents (buy and sell side).  Clients are then provided an opportunity, through mail, phone, and through an unsolicited online form to submit an evaluation.  

Award candidates who move on in the process are asked to then submit information related to 5 objective evaluation and eligibility criteria associated with providing quality services to clients, including regulatory reviews. .Five Star Real Estate Agents for each market are listed at no cost in the leading city and regional magazine (city/metro market only) and on our website.  Five Star award winners do not pay a fee to be included in the research or the final list of award recipients.

Just For Fun: St. Louis Realtor Podcast Interview

Last week, Adam Kruse and Producer Joey Vosevich of the Hermann London St. Louis Realtor podcast/blog were kind enough to reach out to me regarding a possible interview.  Throughout their current podcast series, they have caught up with a number of the local Realtor bloggers recognized by the Editor of St. Louis Home Magazine in 2014, including myself.  

While I didn't know what to expect, it was a fun interview. Adam was easy to talk with and I will rarely turn down the opportunity to discuss the ins and outs of the St. Louis real estate market and living with a fellow local Realtor. 

The interview is a little business and a lot of fun talk.  Thanks for the opportunity, Adam!  I enjoyed meeting you and appreciate the opportunity to be a part of your project.

Great news- I received the 2015 Five Star Award!

Wow, what a terrific week it has been!   I received notification yesterday afternoon that I have been chosen by St. Louis Magazine as a 2015 Five Star recipient.   This is my 6th time (5th year in a row) to be featured in the April edition of St. Louis Magazine as one of the year's top area Realtors in Customer Satisfaction. As the Five Star Award is given to less than 5% of the Metro's 17,000 + Realtors every year... it is a tremendous honor to be chosen as a recipient.

St. Louis Magazine polls area residents who purchased a home priced at more than $150,000 within an 18-month period.  The final list is a select group, representing less than 5% of real estate agents in the area.  The only way to be eligible for this award is for multiple clients to nominate your name accompanied with positive reviews, in addition to making minimum production standards over the last 3 years.  

A sincere thank you to my beloved clients and friends for your continued business, referrals, and positive survey reviews! I am so humbled and appreciative.   Thank you, friends.

How exciting!!  This is my 5th time (4th YEAR IN A ROW) to be featured in the April edition of St. Louis Magazine as one of the year's top area Realtors in Customer Satisfaction.  As the Five Star Award is awarded to less than 4% of the area's almost 17K+  Realtors every year... it is a tremendous honor to be chosen as a recipient.

 

A sincere thank you to my beloved clients and friends for your continued business, referrals, and positive survey reviews!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

 

HOW ARE REALTORS SELECTED?

 

Five Star Professional partners with St. Louis Magazine to find real estate agents who satisfy five objective eligibility and evaluation criteria that are associated with real estate agents who provide quality services to their clients. Fewer than four percent of the 17,900 real estate agents in the St. Louis area were selected.

 
Award candidates were identified through nominations received by consumers. A survey was provided to all St. Louis area residents (more than 12,500 households surveyed) who purchased a home over $150,000 within an 8-month period (September 2011 to May 2012).

Survey recipients were asked to evaluate real estate agents with whom they have worked and evaluate them based upon ten criteria. Each award candidate was reviewed for disciplinary actions, customer complaints and regulatory actions as reported by regulatory agencies.

What a fabulous way to start the day!

April Edition of St. Louis Magazine: The Five Star Awards were published!

Again, a super warm thank you to my dear clients and industry friends for the nomination/votes! You will never know how much I appreciate it...

Great news!

Yesterday AM was our annual Sales Award Meeting at the Coldwell Banker Gundaker Corporate Headquarters Sales Office.  As a group we gather, reflect on the year past, & kick off the new year with enthusiasm. 

Even after 11 years as part of the Corporate Centre Team, I look forward to this event.  Coldwell Banker Gundaker President, Jim Dohr, presented the awards yesterday.  I am thrilled to announce that our office ranked in the top 3 in production.  I, within the office, ranked in the top 10! 

I am elated, particularly as our office contains some of the largest top-grossing teams company wide, including one of the largest REO (bank-owned) teams in the city, comprised of numerous Realtors.

As a single agent operation 100% hyper focused on my clients' needs and careful attention to every minute detail, including well-planned marketing and communication... this is a huge professional AND personal accomplishment for me.

2012 was extremely kind to me.  YOU ALL were extremely kind to me.  Thank you again for your business, referrals, and support.  Without you, I would not be able to continue to do what I absolutely love.  My success is attributed to you and your trust in me.  I do not take that lightly.

Between my St. Louis Magazine 5 Star announcement and this- what a fabulous year end wrap up it has been.

Thank you, my friends, from the bottom of my heart... ♥

The news just came in- EXCITING!

 

SO, SO incredibly exciting. 

 

This is my 4th time, and 3rd YEAR IN A ROW, to be featured in St. Louis Magazine as one of the year's top area Realtors in Customer Satisfaction.  As the Five Star Award is only awarded to less than 7% of area Realtors every year, it is a huge honor.

 

I have never been shy about expressing the love and appreciation I have for my clients and their families.  They, you all, are what fuels the passion that I have for my job, even 11 years into "the game". 

 

One's home is their most precious and intimate space.  I don't take the task of making sure a client finds the "perfect match", lightly.  Thank you, my friends, for returning your surveys and for all of the kind words,  recommendations, and referrals.

 

Your support is what allows me to continue to do what I love. I genuinely appreciate all of you.  Your kindness truly warms my heart.

 

The article will be featured in the April 2013 edition of St. Louis Magazine. Great, great news... made my week!
