Power and Associates Study</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>DENVER, CO &ndash; Results from the J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Home Buyer/Seller StudySM, recognize RE/MAX for providing the highest overall consumer satisfaction for both home buyers and home sellers. In last year&rsquo;s study, two different companies ranked the highest in each category, but this year home buyers and sellers both rated RE/MAX the highest.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&ldquo;It all comes down to professionalism and a commitment to a premier level of customer service,&rdquo; said RE/MAX Chairman and Co-Founder Dave Liniger. &ldquo;Because RE/MAX agents average more experience and training than other agents, they are better prepared to deal with home buyers and sellers in any kind of market. And, consumer preferences tell the story . . . nobody sells more real estate than RE/MAX.&rdquo; </div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>This is the fourth annual study of home buyer and seller satisfaction with the largest national real estate companies, conducted by J.D. Power and Associates. For the home buying experience, three factors were considered: agent/salesperson, office and a variety of additional services. Four factors were examined for the home-selling experience: agent/salesperson, marketing, office and a variety of additional services.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Details from the study indicate that on a scale of 1,000, homebuyer respondents ranked RE/MAX with a score of 805 and home sellers put RE/MAX on top at 791. The 2011 study includes more than 4,200 evaluations from 3,680 respondents who bought or sold a home in the U.S. between March 2010 and April 2011. In two other 2011 industry surveys of the country&rsquo;s top real estate brokerages, RE/MAX agents averaged more transaction sides than agents at the other national franchises. The RIS Media Power Broker Survey and the REAL Trends 500 both showed that RE/MAX agents averaged over 14 transactions sides, more than double the average of many competitors.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The success of RE/MAX agents is the result of its comprehensive educational platform, RE/MAX University, which offers over 1,100 educational programs on-demand, and available online, on television, on smart phones and in classrooms around the world.</div><div><br /></div><img src="http://www.mylakelbj.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1069563" width="1" height="1">http://www.mylakelbj.com/blogs/jeff_spears/archive/2011/07/16/8b480fdb6c0c4f00ba9082f2addb0893.aspxSat, 16 Jul 2011 18:08:00 GMT9976f902-2acc-4e55-b9e7-9ce7926a8891:1050518Jeff Spears1<p align="center" style="float:right;margin-left:10px;"> <a href="http://www.mylakelbj.com/Horseshoe_Bay/Texas/Lots_and_Land/Highland_Lakes/Horseshoe_Bay_West/Agent/Listing_41526629.html"><img src="http://media.point2.com/p2a/listing/defc/7619/6479/22227ed75b0727869178/w475h356.jpg" class="Photo ListingPhoto" alt="Lot" border="0" style="border:black 1px solid;"></a> <span class="cutline"> <br /> <strong>Golf Course Views</strong> </span> </p> <p class="summary" style="margin-top:0px;"> &bull;&nbsp;<span> lot / land</span> <span>-</span> <span id="Price_r" style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:10px;font-weight:bold;">MLS&reg;</span> <span id="Price_pl">$7,000</span> <span> - Backs to Greenbelt</span> </p> <p> <span class="dateline" id="LeadIn" style="font-weight:bold;">Horseshoe Bay West, Horseshoe Bay</span> <span>&nbsp;-&nbsp;</span> Large Horseshoe Bay West lot just between #5 and #6 on AppleRock Golf Course.
