Sean Zalmanoff of Better Rate Mortgage Earns Prestigious Five Star Mortgage Professional Award for 15th Consecutive Year

St. Louis Mortgage Expert Achieves Extraordinary Milestone, Demonstrating Unparalleled Client Satisfaction and Industry Excellence

For over two decades, we’ve served St. Louis homebuyers with integrity and expertise. This 15-year honor reflects the trust we earn every day.”

— Sean Zalmanoff

ST. LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Better Rate Mortgage, a trusted St. Louis-based boutique mortgage lender, is thrilled to announce that Founder and Chief Loan Officer Sean Zalmanoff has been honored as a Five Star Mortgage Professional for the 15th consecutive year in 2025. This rare achievement solidifies Zalmanoff’s position as one of the top mortgage experts in the region.

The Five Star Mortgage Professional award, administered by an independent research firm, identifies exceptional mortgage professionals through rigorous client feedback, peer evaluations from real estate agents and industry partners, and objective criteria. Winners represent fewer than 7% of licensed mortgage professionals in their market each year, making the selection highly competitive and meaningful.

Earning this recognition 15 years in a row is statistically remarkable. Assuming a conservative annual selection rate of less than 7%, the probability of this streak occurring by chance alone is approximately 4.75 × 10⁻¹⁸ – about 1 in 210 quadrillion. This extraordinary consistency reflects true dedication, expertise, and exceptional client experiences.

“I’m truly grateful for this honor for the 15th straight year,” said Sean Zalmanoff. “At Better Rate Mortgage, there’s more to a mortgage than a better rate – you deserve a better mortgage that opens the door to more house, more savings, and more peace of mind. This award is a testament to our team’s passion for providing expert guidance, personalized service, and unbeatable rates that turn homeownership dreams into reality.”
