A Quality Service Certified Company

20 Real Estate Companies in United States Named for Best Customer Service

 Being the best requires a commitment to education and the highest standards of customer service.  In 2007, Helen Adams Realty was ranked as the #1 Quality Service Certified® (QSC) real estate company in the Nation!  In 2008, Helen Adams was also ranked Top 10 in the Nation for Customer Service Excellence. 

QSC® is a nationally recognized training program which focuses on providing premiere customer service.  This program introduces standards of practice and procedures to deliver more valuable service to clients.

The Quality Service Certified^® professional recognition may be the most important credential a real estate professional can hold. 

QSC® sales professionals offer clients a Quality Service Guarantee®, which is a written commitment to deliver a comprehensive list of services throughout the listing or sales transaction.

Following the closing of each home sale or purchase, an independent research company sends all Helen Adams Realty customers a comprehensive survey asking critical questions about the service provided by their agent.  All score results of the surveys are posted online for the public to view at: www.qualityservice.org.  The agent’s ability to maintain Quality Service Certified® status is dependent upon receiving exceptional evaluation feedback from each transaction.

How does Quality Service Certification (QSC) benefit the consumer?

When consumers spend significant dollars for a service, they expect consistency, reliability, and accountability from that professional service provider. Until now, the absence of service standards in the real estate industry contributed to the inconsistency of satisfaction/value experienced by the home seller/buyer. The Quality Service Certification program was created to offer greater value for the home seller or home buyer for every real estate transaction.

If the QSC® program is so great, why doesn’t every company require it?

The QSC® program demands a higher level of professional accountability. Because survey results are posted for every transaction by a third-party company, there is no way to “delete” bad scores or a bad overall company ranking.  Certainly, it takes a true commitment to service to be held accountable for this very public display of survey results.
