COLUMBUS'

2020 FIVE STAR AWARD WINNERS REAL ESTATE AGENTS

MORTGAGE 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.

RECOGNIZING OUTSTANDING Real Estate Agents, Mortgage Professionals and Home/Auto Insurance Professionals
