AUSTIN, TEXAS (August 16, 2012) — According to the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Home Buyer/Seller Satisfaction StudySM
released yesterday, Keller Williams Realty, Inc. ranks highest in
customer satisfaction in both the homebuyer and home seller segments.
Keller Williams Realty, Inc. achieved the highest scores in all measured
factors across both segments, receiving the highest JDPower.com Power
Circle RatingSM among its competitors overall.
“We are so proud
to have our associates be recognized once again for leading the industry
with the influence and reputations they have in their local
communities. They continually demonstrate not only their level of
talent, but their commitment to serving our communities with the utmost
integrity and highest level of service," Mark Willis, CEO of Keller
Williams Realty, Inc., stated. “Congratulations to all Keller Williams
Realty associates. They have certainly earned this prestigious
distinction."
The fifth annual
J.D. Power and Associates study measures customer satisfaction with the
largest national real estate companies within the home buyer and seller
segments. Scores are determined by examining three factors of the
home-buying experience: agent/salesperson; office; and variety of
additional services. For the home-selling segment, agent/salesperson;
marketing; office; and variety of additional services are examined.
J.D. Power and
Associates stated, “[The uncertain economic times] present a challenge
for the real estate companies to really work closely with the customers
and really hold their hand through the entire process to make them feel
more comfortable in the decisions. Keller Williams has set itself apart
by performing high in all the areas that are most important to customers
specifically with the agent, the offices, and the services that they
provide."
“Our agents go
above and beyond to help their clients at one of the most personal times
in their lives – when they are buying or selling a home. We are
incredibly honored and humbled that our associates have been
recognized yet again for their incredible levels of service," says Mary
Tennant, President of Keller Williams Realty, Inc.
