ERA Justin Realty Report: Be Selective When Picking a Real Estate Agent

According to Ron Darby, ERA Justin Realty Broker co-owner and a company market leader since 1950, “For those considering buying or selling a house, this information may be beneficial to you.  Bring together the right real estate team headed by the Realtor professional you choose to hopefully be successful in a purchase or sale.
Real estate training of your Realtor broker and agent 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 be proficient in the exacting laws that govern the transaction, possibly limiting  buyers or sellers abilities 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 and firm which provides excellence in service and staff training. Realtor agents who do a lot of business and are constantly trained should have a wealth of experience to draw from that can be helpful if problems arise.”
Jennifer Darby Metzger, ERA Justin Realty broker 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 may sit on the sidelines as new properly priced listings come to the marketplace and are quickly sold. Furthermore, carefully determine the amount of sales in your community by the Realtor you are considering. Sales outside of your community or at a distance have diminished impact for a successful sale in your specific community. Specific information is what helps create a successful transaction.
Be sure you are presented with a current, accurate and complete CMA report detailing 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. With this explained, sellers need to make the final determinations as to the listing price of their home.
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 or purchased should appraise for mortgaging as long as the buyers are qualified for the loan.  This is a 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.”
Darby continued, “It’s typical for a seller to be swept into the enthusiasm of a Realtor who speaks positively about your house, but in this current market that Realtor is under a strong degree of responsibility to advise of the current pricing and what pricing is not realistic. We make the process easier by offering over 700 written reviews of our services, ‘What people are saying’ consisting of published reviews, quotes and testimonials from our satisfied buyers and sellers.”
Metzger 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 team 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 broker and agent  professionals.
Pacing this year, as in previous years, we were awarded as a top ERA real estate firm globally from nearly 30,000 ERA brokers and agents in their firms. Our reviews, 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 referral firms, representing fortune 500 companies, where we do business for their clients in buying and selling in our marketing areas of Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties. These corporate relationships bring more selling and buying opportunities for all.”
