RISMEDIA, January 30, 2013–Five Star Real Estate, one of west Michigan’s largest locally-grown real estate companies, has a fresh, new look springing up in Five Star’s offices and yard signs throughout West Michigan.

The real estate company has also added a Director of Career Development to assist new and experienced agents grow their business through training programs and personalized coaching. Additional specialists have been hired to manage company operations, provide website support, and consult on social media marketing and smart technology.

“The business of real estate has changed dramatically over the past fifteen years and history suggests the pace of change will continue to increase,” said Carlson.  “More than ever, our real estate clients need highly-trained agents with all the knowledge and marketing tools necessary to help them reach their goals.  They deserve agents who are experts in every aspect of real estate – from marketing their homes to keeping them abreast of real estate trends, evaluating home prices and competition and more.  Five Star is dedicated to making sure our agents deliver.”
