Top Local Site Award

Congratulations!

PhilJonesCRS.com has won our Top Local Site award for providing outstanding local Real Estate content and/or services.

We believe local Real Estate markets are best served by the professionals that actually live and work in the area their web site represents. This award is designed to recognize these professionals and the valuable services they provide their community.

Please take note that this award is unlike others you may have encountered. By that we mean that this award has no costs or obligations, such as having to join a directory, being added to an e-mail list, taking part in link-exchanges, and so on. The award is simply yours to display on your site--- so go ahead, you've earned it!

ABOUT THE AWARD

The award is designed to recognize actual Realtors and related Real Estate professionals (such as Appraisers, Escrow companies, and a few select others) for the valuable services they provide their respective communities. It is intended to help consumers distinguish these professionals from all of the 'Agent Finder' and 'Referral' sites that have come to dominate the internet.

We strongly believe that many companies are doing a disservice to consumers in their role as internet 'middlemen'. These companies are not in a position to determine who a 'Top Local Agent' is or pretend to know anything of substance about the communities they purport to serve. These companies will give the 'Top Local Agent' title to anyone that is willing and able to pay monthly advertising fees. Our experience is that most consumers appear to be unaware of how this 'referral process' actually works: that it truly is nothing more than advertising.

Distinguishing true Real Estate professionals and their websites is a necessary start to increasing consumer awareness. That is the purpose and motivation for this award.
