Darby and Metzger speak from great experience. They have hired, trained and guided agents to great success hundreds of times. Many ERA Justin Realty agents have been with the company for up to 30 years.
“As real estate trends change, technology changes & career needs change. In fact, ERA Justin Realty offers one of the strongest mentor training programs for both new and experienced agents. Real estate moves at such a fast pace we want our agents to be professionally trained so they can be on the cutting edge. We also give our agents the greatest buyer base potential with stronger diverse advertising; full page color advertising of our listings in the South Bergenite, two company websites, exposure on the top real estate websites and on television.This brings an abundance of potential buyers to our agents while giving our sellers more marketing exposure than many other firms. Our ‘Winning Edge Teammate Advantage’ benefit package is exclusive to our company. We proudly have a major market share driven by a superior level of support,” says Metzger.
Darby’s career began as sales manager of K Realty building that brand into a successful 5 office firm with two Rutherford offices, plus offices in Lyndhurst, North Arlington and a South Jersey location serving Stafford Township and Long Beach Island. From the Stafford Township office he was responsible for construction of nearly 200 custom single and multi-family dwellings. He was later encouraged by Justin Tokarski, founder of Justin Realty to form a partnership to duplicate the success he created at K Realty. Darby says, “I had known of Justin’s impeccable real estate reputation as a broker and past mayor of Rutherford. He called me asking for a meeting. We agreed that I join him, and the rest is history. Now thirty-five years later, ERA Justin Realty is a ‘Top-100’ ERA firm worldwide and is the recipient of the ‘ERA Commitment to Excellence’ award. For these reasons, agents both newly licensed and experienced who join us have the potential to begin strong earnings immediately.”
Metzger, after graduating from college with a degree in Earth and Space Science Education to become a high school science teacher, decided to join the family business as a real estate professional. After 3 successful years as a Realtor, she went back to school to further her real estate knowledge and became a Real Estate Broker. Trying to combine her original love of teaching with her real estate knowledge, she once again returned to the classroom and obtained her Real Estate Teaching Certificate, which gives her the ability to teach real estate as a state instructor at a school or university. She was honored as the 2013 Realtor of the Year at the RealSource Board of Realtors from approximately 3,000 members. Metzger’s experience in sales has made her a natural leader of the company. Almost 20 years as an agent herself allows her to coach her agents to success. “True love for this business has defined our business culture. We have surrounded ourselves with energetic people who share that love and it has been the key to our success. We have fun together as we work to help people accomplish their real estate goals. New and seasoned agents are attracted to our agency for the energy we share as a team. We are also a team of ‘learners’, learning from each other and those in the industry that are on the cutting edge. We strive to provide the most up-to-date technology and service as well as be the best educated in the business,” added Metzger.
Continuing, Darby said, “Credit for our company success also goes to our exceptional staff of agents, who exceed customer expectations daily. We are thrilled to have a publication of over 700 reviews. One is an honor but over 700 has become a tradition, an honor above all honors. Proudly we are the #1 office in closed Rutherford transactions for 14 consecutive years, and we are working on 15!”
