Charter Member

Consumers have different needs and goals even if they don't realize it. 

Choosing a well-qualified REALTOR®, such as Christopher, can be a deciding factor in the success of your transaction and the enjoyment of your experience. Arming yourself with the right REALTOR® can go a long way towards protecting your interests.

What is RISMedia's Top5 in Real Estate Network®?
The Top5 in Real Estate Designation is a Network® of select Real Estate Professionals from throughout the United States and Canada who have met the Top 5 in Real Estate's stringent series of various career qualifications and who are committed to the future development of their professional skills and services to the consumers and the community they serve.

Prospective members qualify by fulfilling 5 criteria:

1. Experience
All agents must have at least three (3) years experience to qualify for Top5. While length of professional service alone is no guarantee of professional excellence, we believe that, in general, the more experience a professional has, the more experiential knowledge they acquire. To consumers in the selection process, this knowledge becomes an important part of both their real and perceived value of a real estate professional.

2. Results
Productivity is an important requirement for membership because it signifies to consumers that Top5 Members are among the upper echelon in real estate: the top 10% of real estate agents, nationally and/or locally, in either volume or unit productivity. We believe that production should be a leading indicator of why consumers should select a Top5 Member for their real estate needs, but not the only one.

3. Professional Education
We believe there is a nexus between professional excellence and education, specifically when it comes to an individual's propensity for providing vital real estate information that will empower consumers. We also believe that consumers have an immediate respect for a real estate professional's educational accomplishments. Educational requirements for all members increase the status for exclusivity and Top5 as a brand, increasing overall value proposition for each member and, therefore, the Top5 Network as a whole.

4. Information Technology
Information technology skills are a must in order to fully serve clients at all stages of the real estate experience. We also want to ensure that members become as financially prudent as possible through information technology efficiencies.

5. Commitment to Community
In order to engender the utmost respect from consumers, Top5 in Real Estate Members must extend their essence beyond self-promotional accomplishments and demonstrate a commitment to bettering the community and its residents. Moreover, we believe that a commitment to the community is indispensable to marketing and selling the benefits of the community. Candidates for the Top5 in Real Estate, therefore, need to be not only consumer-centric but community-centric. RISMedia will provide community-related information to Top5 Members in order to strengthen this effort.

RISMedia was asked by numerous industry leaders, including many top agents, to develop a method or program that would create greater respect from consumers. Another reason Top5 was created was to raise consumer expectations by encouraging consumers to become more selective when choosing their real estate agents. Top5 in Real Estate believes elevating consumer expectations is a byproduct of elevating real estate professionalism. To learn more go to: To learn more go to: Top5inRealEstate.com
