    ERA Justin Realty Report: Be Selective When Picking a Real Estate Agent
According to Grace Tirrito a Realtor agent professional with ERA Justin Realty, and a market leader since 1950, “For those who plan to buy or sell, this information may be very beneficial.  Bring together the right real estate team headed by the Realtor agent professional you choose. In this new and detailed real estate market where buyers, sellers, lenders, inspectors are strongly regulated, one should know the details so they can be successful in their purchase or sale.
Real estate training of Realtor agent professionals is necessary as the regulations governing real estate transactions go through continuous transition, and as in any business, there are trained real estate agents and those who may be simply a best friend of a buyer or seller who practices real estate on a limited basis and may not know the laws that govern the transaction, limiting a buyers or sellers ability to be successful in the transaction.  It is not always how many years a firm has been in the business or number of homes sold. Select your Realtor agent and firm who provides excellence in service.  Realtor agents who do a lot of business and are constantly trained have a wealth of experience to draw from that can be helpful when problems arise.”
Jennifer Darby, ERA Justin Realty Broker and co-owner stated, “Too many times in our industry listings are taken far above the market value and above pricing proven by a comprehensive (CMA) comparative market analysis. Some listings taken by a brokerage with unrealistic pricing will sit on the sidelines as new properly priced listings come to the marketplace and are quickly sold. Additionally with the newer strict federal and/or state appraisal restrictions, appraisers rely solely on comparable closed sales within recent months, meaning that current proper pricing is a must in order for the house to pass the approval and mortgage lending requirements.
Be sure you are presented with a critical and complete CMA report detailing current homes for sale, those that have sold and closed and those that have expired because they did not sell.  All sellers are entitled to know the entire story so they can make an educated decision as to the proper pricing of their house when placed on the market. At ERA Justin Realty, our Realtor agents are trained to bring exacting information to our sellers.  Once done, our buyers can be confident that the house they are considering and purchased should appraise for mortgaging as long as the buyers are qualified for the loan.  This is must for the services that we provide at ERA Justin Realty.  Our Realtor agents owe a great degree of focus and responsibility to those sellers who list their houses with us.”
Grace continued, “It’s typical for a seller to be swept into the enthusiasm of a Realtor agent who speaks positively about your house, but in this current market that agent is under a strong degree of responsibility to advise the current pricing and what pricing is not realistic. We make the process easy by offering our references report, ‘What people are saying’ consisting of nearly 800 quotes and testimonials from satisfied buyers and sellers.”
Jennifer concluded, “We build strong rapport and  trust. You’ll be working with one of our Realtor agent professionals throughout the transaction.  Working with one of our trusted Realtor agents is easy when you respect, trust and communicate well together. Request many references, not just one or two. We are one successful team of Realtor agent professionals. In 2011, as in previous years, we’re noted as a ‘Top-100’ ERA real estate firm from nearly 3,000 ERA firms worldwide. Our references, quotes and testimonials are yours to be reviewed, simply for the asking.  We have been a Realtor of choice for multi-thousands of buyers and sellers since we first opened our doors in 1950.  Equally impressive is our relationship with Cartus, the worlds largest corporate relocation/referral real estate network representing fortune 500 companies, for their clients in buying and selling in our marketing areas of Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties. Refer to our marketing of our listings on more than seventy five websites.  These corporate relationships bring more selling and buying opportunities for all.”
