2023 COLUMBUS FIVE STAR AWARD WINNERS
Uncovering Columbus' elite real estate agents, mortgage professionals and home/auto insurance professionals
Five Star Professional partnered with Columbus Monthly to identify real estate, mortgage and insurance professionals in the Columbus area who deliver outstanding service and client satisfaction. The Five Star Professional research team surveyed homebuyers, home sellers and industry peers, and analyzed online consumer evaluations. Survey respondents rated their service professional on criteria such as overall satisfaction and whether they would recommend the provider to a friend. The research methodology allows no more than 7% of professionals in each category to receive the award.
RISING STAR AWARD WINNERS
Meet the next wave of outstanding real estate agents in the Columbus area! Five Star Professional’s research team contacted branch managers, real estate veterans and consumers to identify up-and-coming real estate agents in the industry. Rising Star award winners are held in high regard by their peers and mentors and have received a qualifying nomination for the award. Evaluators were asked to identify an agent who has been in the industry for five years or less and embodies professional excellence, exhibits superior customer service and shows great potential to excel in their profession. All Rising Star award winners must be actively licensed, satisfy minimum production criteria and have a favorable regulatory history to be eligible for award consideration.
