Each year an independent research company performs rigorous work to determine the top performers in various fields, one of which includes Real Estate. Seattle Magazine presents the annual winners, at no fee to the candidates, in their December issue. Five Star Agent winners with ten years of awards represent the top 100 real estate brokers in the area. Our founders, Peter Badgett and Rachel Badgett, have won the award 18 times combined. 

These are the standards the Five Star Agents must pass, along with turning in their reports of sales for the year, in order to verify their business production. Homeowners are contacted to provide surveys of local agents based upon ten criteria and then further research is started on each agent. 

1. Customer Service  2. Integrity  3. Market Knowledge  4. Communication 5. Negotiation  6. Closing Preparation 7. Post Sale Service 8. Find The Right Home 9. Marketing of Home 10. Overall Satisfaction. 

Additionally, respondents are asked whether they would recommend the agent to their friend.
