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). Research Disclosures Home/Auto Insurance Professionals Professionals who satisfied each of the following objective criteria were named a 2013 Orange County Five Star Real Estate Agent, Five Star Mortgage Professional or Five Star Home/Auto Insurance Professional: 1. Received a qualifying client satisfaction rating. 2. Satisfied the applicable state licensing requirements. 3. A ctively employed as a licensed 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 basis (number and volume of transactions or number of client households served). • The 2013 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. The research methodology is designed to identify professionals who meet or exceed objective evaluation criteria associated with providing quality services to clients. — Alexandra Saul, Research Director, Five Star Professional For more information on the Five Star award and the research/ selection methodology, go to www.fivestarprofessional.com. www.fivestarprofessional.com — FS 1 2013 Five Star Home Professionals 2013 s v © Fiv es tar P r © Fiv es tar P ofe r t F © iv es ar P ofe r Fi es ta P of s ve ta r P ro es si f iv st r s e r es ar P of ss ion e r es tar P of ss ion e r ta P of s io a l s n r e r i o a s P o ar f l s n e r P o s io a Special Advertising Section 2013 Five Star Real Estate Agents Five Star Real Estate Agents Five Star Professional surveyed Orange County area residents who purchased a home priced at more than $150,000 within a 12-month period (January 2012 to January 2013).

More importantly, I help them understand the various loan options they have so they can make the right choice on which loan program is right for them. I have seen and experienced it all in my 37 years of mortgage lending.

She went to work at Citibank in 1983 and was put on a pilot program called “Mortgage Power,” which was the first real estate/mortgage banker in-house relationship with RE/MAX. It was a huge success and from that experience, Michele was able to develop a “team attitude” and the tenacity to traverse the ever-changing lending environment. Michele became an independent mortgage broker/banker which gave her the power to provide the same superior service, but with more choices of banks and products. 3 Corporate Plaza, Suite 101 Newport Beach, CA 92660 Office: (949) 478-7020 Cell: (949) 292-2572 [email protected] www.csfinancial.com NMLS 242179 FS 12 — www.fivestarprofessional.com s v © Fiv es tar P r © Fiv es tar P ofe r t F © iv es ar P ofe r Fi es ta P of s ve ta r P ro es si f iv st r s e r es ar P of ss ion e r es tar P of ss ion e r ta P of s io a l s n r e r i o a s P o ar f l s n e r P o s io a Special Advertising Section Allycyn Bennett Cindy L.
