BURNABY, BC- A prominent real estate company with offices in the Lower Mainland, including Prudential Sterling Realty in Burnaby, has earned top points from J.D. Power and Associates, a global market research company.

In its 2008 Home Buyer/Seller Study, J.D. Power and Associates named Prudential Real Estate as having the “Highest Satisfaction for Home Sellers Among National Full Services Real Estate Firms.”

The inaugural study was based on customer satisfaction for home buyers and sellers and was measured by four factors in selling a home: agent, marketing, office and services. The study included 3,670 evaluations from 3,205 respondents who had bought or sold a home between April 2007 and June 2008.

Prudential scored 793 out of 1,000 for home selling, and garnered high marks in the marketing and office categories.

Randy Ryalls, manager of Prudential Sterling Realty, which serves Burnaby, the Tri-Cities, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, said, “We are very proud of this distinction, as it underscores the quality of our hard-working sales professionals. In the current challenging market, our clients want all the expertise and market knowledge we can offer – and by leveraging Prudential’s brand strength, its wide array of product and service offerings, and its strong Internet marketing programs, we can provide sellers with the increased exposure they need – along with providing exceptional, attentive service.”

According to the J.D. Power study, REALTORS® are key to the success of the real estate industry – despite the ease of the Internet, where home buying and selling resources abound. The study states that professional advice from REALTORS® can be especially valuable to buyers and sellers. 

Based in Westlake, California, J.D. Power and Associates (JDPower.com) is part of The McGraw-Hill Companies and focuses on marketing information services including market research, forecasting, performance improvement, training and customer satisfaction. 

Prudential Real Estate is one of the largest real estate brokerage franchise networks in North America with 2,100 franchise offices and 64,000 sales professionals.
