“As I watch the promo for the new 2011 PAN AM TV show with the four Pan Am stewardess strutting together in formation, I don’t see TV actresses (who are terrific, by the way, in their roles). I see my former Pan Am roommates – Mary Lou Pfohl Gallagher, Marge Warder, Sally Von Summer, Pam Jones, and me (Mary Lou Moore Bigelow). These trim young women on the screen are sporting our 1962-1964 hairdos, our hats, our uniforms, our Pan Am name pins and wings, our shoes, our bags, and as a friend remarked our purposeful stride with attitude.”

Mary Lou Bigelow of BOWES Real Estate Real Living in Arlington, MA was awarded the highest level of service achievement in the real estate industry, Quality Service Certified® Platinum. The award is in recognition of earning 100% client service satisfaction in 2011, as measured by Leading Research Corporation (LRC).

Quality Service Certified (QSC) status is the only award in the real estate industry based on independently validated, measurable service results. Clients of QSC agents receive a customer satisfaction survey at the end of each transaction. The surveys are administered and the results are compiled by LRC.

Client feedback from the surveys becomes part of the agent’s credentials. An overall satisfaction rating is displayed on a consumer website (www.QualityService.org) where sellers and buyers have the ability to select a real estate professional based upon each agent’s validated record of service satisfaction.

“Nothing is more important to a prospective client in selecting a professional than the service results achieved with past clients,” says Larry D. Romito, President and CEO of QSC. He adds, “Consumers have greater confidence in service reliability, results and satisfaction with a Quality Service Certified real estate professional because they know that the agent’s service record has been validated by an independent third party. 100% service satisfaction record like Mary Lou Bigelow has achieved is just awesome.”
