Boston’s 2016 Five Star Real Estate Agents For more than 10 years, Five Star Professional has been identifying the top real estate agents across the country. We are proud to announce our list of Boston winners! Five Star Professional conducts market-specific research throughout the U.S. to identify real estate agents, mortgage professionals and home/auto insurance professionals who demonstrate professional excellence and provide quality service to their clients. Now entering its thirteenth year, the Five Star award program is the largest and most widely published award in the industry, covering more than 40 major U.S. markets. The Five Star Professional research team contacted thousands of recent homebuyers, consumers and industry experts to identify Bostonarea service professionals who stand out in their industry and community. Award candidates for the Five Star award are brought forward based on consumer evaluations, peer nominations and/or superior industry credentials (based on experience and historical production). Phone and online survey respondents submit evaluations rating their service professional on criteria such as overall satisfaction, customer service skills, market knowledge and whether they would recommend the professional to a friend. Award recipients represent less than 7 percent of professionals in the Greater Boston area and demonstrate professional excellence and a commitment to customer service.
