Castilow Receives Platinum Service Recognition
Anna Castilow of Helen Adams Realty in Charlotte, NC was awarded the highest level of service achievement in the real estate industry, Quality Service Certified® Platinum. The award is in recognition of earning 100% client service satisfaction in 2008, as measured by Leading Research Corporation (LRC).
Quality Service Certified (QSC) status is the only award in the real estate industry based on independently validated, measurable service results. Clients of QSC agents receive a customer satisfaction survey at the end of each transaction. The surveys are administered and the results are compiled by LRC.
Client feedback from the surveys becomes part of the agent’s credentials. An overall satisfaction rating is displayed on a consumer website (www.QualityService.org) where sellers and buyers have the ability to select a real estate professional based upon each agent’s validated record of service satisfaction.
“Nothing is more important to a prospective client in selecting a professional than the service results achieved with past clients,” says Larry D. Romito, President and CEO of QSC. He adds, “Consumers have greater confidence in service reliability, results and satisfaction with a Quality Service Certified real estate professional because they know that the agent’s service record has been validated by an independent third party. 100% service satisfaction record like Anna Castilow has achieved is just awesome.”
The Charlotte Center City 2010 Vision Plan was created to serve as a blueprint for downtown Charlotte’s future development. Because of the city’s unprecedented growth, it became critical to design an outline that would help contain urban sprawl, and at the same time give citizens a voice in the creation of their own thriving city. The far-reaching collaborative project included the efforts of city and county governments, architects, urban planners, nonprofit groups and the citizens of Charlotte. The plan was unanimously adopted by both the City Council and County Commissioners, and was overwhelmingly supported by the public.
