Chris Gubb Earns the Coveted Five Star Professional Real Estate Award

Chris Gubb, sales associate with Keller Williams Village Square Realty in downtown Ridgewood, has been honored for her commitment to provide exceptional service to customers by Five Star Professional, an independent research company that tracks performance of professionals throughout the United States in a variety of industries. Out of more than 80,000 licensed real estate agents in the state of New Jersey, Gubb was among less than 1% who qualified for this honor.

Between April 2010 and April 2011, 800,000 new homeowners in New Jersey were surveyed about their experience with their Realtor, with questions concerning customer service, integrity, communication skills, finding the right home, marketing the home, negotiating skills, closing preparation and overall satisfaction. The scores were statistically validated by Five Star Professional Research on the quantity and quality of the survey results.

One needs to look no further than Gubb’s many client testimonials to understand why she earned this prestigious service recognition. Clients frequently comment on her knowledge of the local market, organizational skills and thorough, efficient approach to business, as well as her extraordinary work ethic and friendly personality. Customers also often refer to Gubb’s professionalism and how she treats them like family- delivering caring, thoughtful service to everyone she represents.

“I always make sure that my clients and I establish a positive working relationship from the start- one that encourages communication and inspires confidence. My customers realize that my primary goal is to protect their financial decision and find the home that is a perfect fit for them,” noted Gubb. “We share ideas, concerns and observations, and they trust my advice. I want them to feel comfortable working with me and rest assured that their best interests are my priority.”

Having launched her real estate career by investing in properties, Gubb has since turned over numerous homes in the area for a profit and has first-hand knowledge of careful property selection and marketing a home for sale. She also applies spatial planning and design techniques to maximize living areas and property values; experience that has proven quite valuable when assisting clients in the purchase or sale of a home.

A longtime Ridgewood resident, Gubb works with buyers and sellers in Ridgewood and throughout Bergen County, utilizing her industry experience, sales and marketing ability and strong negotiating skills.  In addition to her latest customer service recognition, Gubb earned membership to the Multi-Million Dollar Club in 2010 and 2011, and has been honored as the Salesperson of the Month at her previous firm.
