Best Realtor in Fredericksburg TX

Who is the Best Realtor
in Fredericksburg TX and the Texas Hill Country?

 I guess that depends on who you ask
but I am proud to say that I was awarded by Texas Monthly,
The Five Star Award excellence for  for 2011 and also again for 2012.

   Texas Monthly Five Star award received by local Realtor
             ( as printed in the Fredericksburg Standard News paper )

Local Realtor Mike Starks with RE/MAX Town and Country was honored in the June issue of Texas Monthly by receiving the coveted 2012 Five Star award for Real Estate.   Texas Monthly partnered with FIVE STAR Professional to identify the real estate agents in Texas who provide exceptional service and overall satisfaction as indicated by clients, peers and industry experts.  FIVE STAR professional independently employees research methodology using objective market research methods. The intent of the research is to develop a list of real estate agents in a given market who score highest in overall satisfaction, based on an objective market research methodology that takes into account client evaluations in nine categories, with adjustments to reflect inputs from peers, regulatory compliance reviews, and Blue Ribbon Panel reviews. Each respondent is asked to evaluate only real estate agents whom they have worked with and evaluate them based upon nine criteria: customer service, integrity, market knowledge, communication, negotiation, closing preparation, finds the right home, marketing of home, and overall satisfaction. Additionally, respondents are asked whether they would recommend the agent to a friend. This information is incorporated into a scoring algorithm as a cross check against their average rating. Recent home buyers and readers of the partnering city/regional magazine may evaluate up to two real estate agents (buy and sell side), while Mortgage and Title Companies may evaluate up to three agents. After the evaluation surveys are received, each real estate agent is given a Client Score and a Peer Adjustment Score. Both favorable and unfavorable evaluations are incorporated.

Mike Starks said he was very honored to have been the only Realtor in the Fredericksburg area to receive the award this year.  Mr Starks felt very proud of the recognition since the 2012 FIVE STAR Real Estate Agents are a select group of fewer than 7 percent of all real estate agents . He went onto say that he believes that although he was the only local Realtor selected this year, that the community of Fredericksburg is blessed with some of the best Realtors to be found anywhere in the State.  I have served as a director on the Central Hill Country Board of Realtors ( formally Gillepsie County Board of Realtors)  for a long time and I can honestly say that the Real Estate Community here is one of the best anywhere.  Even though we Realtors may work for different companies in a competitive industry, I think every one here does their best be honest with each other, forthright and always put their clients interest before their own, if there was a Five Star Award for excellence given to groups, I think the members of the Central Hill Country Board of Realtors would win for sure.
