I’m especially honored in 2011 to have been chosen as a Five Star Professional in their real estate category. I’m new to this one, so please forgive me as I carry on for a moment about this special award.

It’s my understanding that this award is the result of polling of both the homeowners and other professionals involved (such as escrow, title and mortgage folks) for closed transactions for 2011. I understand that they asked for specific opinions about the folks with whom they dealt, looking for the highest standards of customer service, knowledge, and professionalism.

As you know, for me, customer service is number one on my agenda. After all, a real estate transaction is all about you … my treasured clients. I want you to know that I care about your purchase or your sale more than anything else. I want you to know that I have your back … and that I’m working hard to be sure that whatever it is you strive for in your sale or purchase … I’m there too!

So thank you again. Your recommendation means the world to me and I treasure your confidence in my services.

As I understand it, the list of agents that made the cut for 2011 appears in Seattle Magazine’s December 2011 issue. There are a lot of agents featured, but these best of the best are only a fraction of the agents that practice in the greater Seattle area. (I need to get to a news stand and buy one of these copies!)

I’m honored. Thank you.
