Five Star Professional Reviews 

We relocated from Pennsylvania to Venice, FL during an extremely competitive seller's market. Homes were having offers placed on them within hours of being listed. Our realtor, Albert, was wonderful! Knowing we weren't going to buy a home sight-unseen, he scheduled numerous properties for us to see during a few quick flights down. Spending all day with us each trip, he answered questions ranging from good schools, restaurants and beaches, to HOA's, vehicle registration and air conditioning maintenance. He was as much of an informative guide as he was our realtor. Besides finding us our beautiful new home, he's a genuinely caring and kind person and we would recommend his services to anyone.

Highly recommend Laura Stewart as our realtor of choice. We've bought and sold many homes with Laura over the years and will not consider using any other realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and process. She is a strong negotiator, a great communicator, very positive, patient, and is always available to show us homes. She is a master at any element of the home sale process from staging and marketing, through the home sale process and into finding and purchasing a new home. We are beyond grateful that she helped us navigate our way to the home we love!

A Five Star Professional Award is not what many may think. Recipients of this award is NOT a measure of one's professional integrity, service quality and customer satisfaction. Five Star has this disclaimer, "The award methodology does not evaluate the quality of services provided." Overall it is just a marketing ploy.

Sharing my story:
My sister, Pearl Lee (Gitter) is a Financial Advisor with Janney Montgomery Scott in Phila, PA. She had won this award for Wealth Managers/ Investment Professionals for several years. But back in 2010-2011, I fired Pearl when I discovered she had churned and demolished my retirement accounts. Pearl Lee had defrauded my life savings! I repeat again .....

Pearl Lee of Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia DEFRAUDED my retirement accounts.

I work for a non-profit, humanitarian service. I'm not rich nor do I make a six figure salary. My life savings was relatively small but humble and I trusted my big sister to manage my financial portfolio. After 18 years of investing my life savings with Pearl Lee, I have absolutely nothing to show for it. This greedy woman had manipulated me, churned my account and consumed the growth and even though I reported her illegal actions to her manager and to FINRA, she got to walk away unscathed. Pearl Lee had betrayed her fiduciary oath, her actions were clearly unscrupulous, financially unsound, criminal and indefensible. Janney quickly defended her and she got to keep her employment.

Well in 2012, 2013 and 2014, Pearl Lee won this Five Star Award and she continued to market herself as a Fiduciary to other unsuspecting clients. If Pearl can ripoff the closest member of her own family, she will have no problem stealing from you! In 2013, she had released this bogus statement after receiving her 5 Star Award: "To be recognized as a source of quality financial service and sound advice in the local community is truly a great honor. I look forward to continuing to provide quality service and advice to my clients, to help them work toward their financial goals".

In summary, the people at Five Star Professional are basically awarding recipients if their license is current, employed and there is nothing negative they can find about the recipient online. You can be rude, greedy, incompetent or betray your fiduciary oath and still receive this award! So I took the necessary steps to share my story on many Consumer Complaint/Exposing Scam/Shame websites for the last 10 years (and counting). This, I believe, was what counter Pearl from ever receiving this annual award. Pearl Lee has one brother, me! I'm not anonymous and neither Pearl nor Janney had filed any form of defamation/libel suit against me. This should reveal much about the legitimacy of my accusations.

Google "Pearl Lee Janney" and read all my negative reviews.

Five Star Professionals provides a valuable service to the public as the system provides customer related feedback to many professional categories where achievement has historically been inward facing (production) versus outward facing (customer service).
