For the tenth consecutive year, Karen Amaru, a real estate broker and sales associate with William Raveis in Westport, has been named a Five Star Professional Real Estate Agent. This level of excellence is achieved by fewer than 7% of all real estate agents in Connecticut.

Her selection was the result of a rigorous research process that included a regulatory and consumer complaint review, and an evaluation of objective criteria associated with real estate agents who provide quality services to their clients. The Five Star Professional Award is the largest and most widely published real estate agent award program in North America. “I am passionate about providing my clients with the best real estate service possible,” states Amaru. “I am honored to be a part of this select group.”

Five Star Professional conducts research to help consumers with the important decision of selecting a service professional. The Five Star award is presented to wealth managers, real estate agents, mortgage professionals and home/auto insurance professionals in more than 45 markets in the U.S. and Canada. The Five Star award goes to service professionals who provide quality services to their clients.
