The award winners appear in a special section in the April issue of Portland Monthly. Five Star Professional partnered with Portland Monthly to conduct research to identify a select group of real estate agents who are exceptional in both their ability and their commitment to overall satisfaction. Fewer than seven percent of the 10,000 Portland area residents holding real estate licenses were selected. A survey was provided to all Portland area residents who purchased a home over $100,000 within a 36-month period (June 2007 to June 2010), 7,000 subscribers of Portland Monthly and 250 mortgage and title companies.
Respondents were asked to evaluate real estate agents they knew through personal experience and to evaluate them based on nine criteria. Both negative and positive evaluations were included in the scoring. All qualified real estate agents were screened with the state Real Estate Commission’s database to verify that licenses were current and no disciplinary actions were pending. The final list was reviewed by a panel of local realty company executives, professional and trade association officers and others directly involved in housing-related businesses.
Five Star Professional provides localized, independent client satisfaction research on the performance of service professionals. Five Star Professional conducts research with consumers, and industry peers and leaders, to identify service professionals who score highest in overall satisfaction. Award candidates also undergo a thorough regulatory review.
Five Star Professional joins forces with city and regional magazines to make the research results available to consumers in more than 45 markets across the United States and now, Canada. Five Star Professional was founded in 2005 and is based in Minneapolis. For more information, go to: www.fivestarprofessional.com.

March Sales Numbers are in for the Mountain Area
Thursday, April 12, 2012
Market statistics are in from multiple listing service for area 153 which covers Government Camp, Welches, Rhdodendron and Brightwood. March was a very active month for closed sales totaling 12 sales. Fifty percent of those sales were foreclosures. Take a look at the numbers from NAR. In February the national percentage of distressed sales was hovering at 34%. As the backlog of foreclosures enter the market this year it's likely the national number will go back up towards 40%. Mountain sales for the month are listed below this graph.
Twelve sales. Five were cash and two purchases were USDA loans. This would be homes for primary home use and income limits to qualify for this type of loan.
