To nominate an outstanding home professional for next year’s award, go to www.fivestarprofessional.com.

Know a great home professional?

Five Star Professional partnered with Orange Coast magazine to identify real estate, mortgage and insurance professionals in the Orange County area who deliver outstanding service and client satisfaction. The Five Star Professional research team contacted thousands of recent

homebuyers, as well as other consumers. Clients may also submit evaluations online. Phone, mail and online 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 percent of professionals in each category to receive the award. This year’s winners are listed and profiled in the following pages (see each award winner’s listing for more details).

1. Received a qualifying client satisfaction rating.

2. Satisfied the applicable state licensing requirements.

3. Act ive ly employed as a l i censed professional for a minimum of three years.

4. Favorable regulatory and complaint history review.

5. Satisfied minimum client volume or production on a one-year and three-year b a s i s ( n u m b e r a n d v o l u m e o f t ransac t ions or number o f c l i ent households served).

Professionals who satisfied each of the following objective criteria were named a 2015 Orange County Five Star Real Estate Agent, Five Star Mortgage Professional or Five Star Home/Auto Insurance Professional:

• The 2015 Five Star Real Estate Agents, Mortgage Professionals and Home/Auto Insurance Professionals do not pay a fee to be included in the research or the final list.

• Each professional is screened against state governing bodies to verify that licenses are current, and no disciplinary actions are pending.

• The inclusion of a real estate agent, mortgage professional or insurance professional on the final lists should not be construed as an endorsement by Five Star Professional or Orange Coast magazine.

• The research process incorporates a statistically valid sample in order to identify the professionals in the local market who score highest in overall satisfaction. These professionals are not included on the list unless their score is statistically valid.

Two-year winner Aracely Gordon

I was beyond fl attered when chosen by my clients for this distinguished award. I am truly grateful that I continue to be provided the opportunity to help others. After a career in raising three lovable children, I sought a new challenge and embarked on a real estate career in October 2005. The challenge of the times seemed insurmountable, but hard work, dedication and the needs of my clients were paramount. With straight talk and current market facts,

I’m able to provide the necessary tools for my clients to make a smart decision. Nothing satisfi es me more than seeing the smiles that come with a successful sale or the purchase of a lifetime.

I am thankful that I continue to do what I love … working with buyers and sellers in the real estate industry.
