ERA Justin Realty Award Achievers Exceed Expectations

ERA Justin Realty Award Achievers Exceed Expectations
Ask the ERA Justin Realty 1st 2nd and 3rd quarters 2015 award achievers, how important proper house pricing is and the answer you will most likely hear over and over again is realistically. Ask any of these  ‘Leadership Circle‘ achievers who will provide a complimentary Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) and you will have the answers to your real estate questions.  They include Glenn Elliot, Peggy McLaughlin, Cathy Vick, Kristen Davis, Morgan DePalma, Julia Dagistanli, Ilene Harpuder, Grace Tirrito, Carol D. Calamari and Fara Espandi.
Jennifer Darby Metzger, co-owner broker stated, “Throughout each quarter we proudly present the ‘Leadership Circle’ award to those teammates who focus and exceed the expectations of their sellers and buyers.  These fine professionals awarded had earned accolades throughout the 2015 quarters.  It is an ongoing team effort, which makes us a market leader throughout Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties. 
For our sellers and buyers, we have published ‘What People Are Saying’ a presentation of nearly 800 testimonials and reviews regarding the services that we offer.  A copy is available for review for the asking. Additionally, these sales professionals focus on the inventory of homes that we have for sale, knowing exacting details, so they can provide our sellers and buyers with the service they deserve.”
Ron Darby, broker co-owner added, “If you are thinking of selling your house in the near future and want to know for how much it might sell, then you should contact one of our ERA Justin Realtor salespersons and request a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to determine its fair market value.  The fair market value of a house is the highest price an informed buyer will pay.  A homeowner’s asking price is the advertised price of a house when it goes on the market and may be slightly higher than the fair market value because it is assumed that some negotiation will be necessary to reach an agreement with a buyer. To get an estimate of the fair market value, a homeowner can call our ERA Justin Realty sales team. Our service is provided free of charge and without obligation.  In conducting a CMA, our ERA Justin Realty sales professionals have access to a wide array of information, such as databases containing recent listing and selling prices of similar homes in the neighborhood, and how long these houses took to sell. The resulting analysis can help a homeowner understand how today’s market impacts the price of the house, and it will provide a realistic figure of fair market value.  If a house is then put on the market, our sales professionals will use the CMA to help the homeowner establish a selling marketing program. The CMA information is very helpful in determining the true value of a house and the right asking price. In the end, however, the homeowner should decide on a price that he or she feels is competitive and consistent with the price at which other houses in the area have sold.  Our CMA report for our sellers is truly comprehensive in all aspects.  Complete with color photos and detailed information, it makes pricing easier for those planning a sale.  Truly, there is a difference in real estate companies, and our details will make the difference. We ask buyers and sellers to compare.  We believe that in order to exceed expectations of what ERA Justin Realty is about, we don’t offer just real estate basics, we try to be as comprehensive as possible.  In that way, we know that our buyers and sellers will hold us all in the highest regard.  Proof of our abilities for our clients and customers shows in these fine award achievers, honored during the first three quarters of 2015.”

For more information, consumers can reach the ERA Justin Realty sales team at either of their two Rutherford offices at 118 Jackson Avenue and 57 Park Avenue.

ERA Justin Realtymorgan depalmawinter home selling myths October 13, 2015

ERA Justin Realty Edge Before Winter Home Selling


 ERA Justin Realty Edge Before Winter Home Selling


“As the leaves begins to fall and the weather gets colder, homeowners often shudder at the thought of selling their home in the Winter, out of concern that there will be fewer buyers, their home will look less attractive and will command a lower selling price than during the Autumn. This can be substantial thought.  Following are the 4 most common myths as well as the truth about selling a home now or during Winter,” stated Morgan DePalma an ERA Justin Realtor sales agent.

DePalma continued, “Myth #1 If I wait until Winter into next Spring to sell my house there will be more buyers and more competition for my home that I put up for sale.

Truth: There really is less consideration of  markets anymore, since many markets are interest rate driven. Interest rates are currently low and that is what motivates many buyers seeking their new home now with closing prior to the Christmas holidays.

You’ll likely get more foot traffic through your home in the Autumn. In the winter you may have fewer showings, but many tend to be serious and qualified buyers because fewer people like to spend an afternoon browsing through homes when the weather is cold, rainy or snowy.  You still have an extra advantage with Autumn showings.

Myth #2 My house will sell for a higher price next Spring since the economy has been improving, I’ll wait to get an even higher price for my house in 2016.

Truth: The current home prices of 2015 may not continue to escalate in 2016. No one can forecast ahead. We know what the economy is like now. With political worldwide uncertainties, there is no way to predict what lies ahead in the Spring of 2016. A significant benefit of Autumn into Winter home selling is that there is less inventory at this time of year, which translates into less competition amongst listings on the market. Remember, it only takes one buyer to purchase a house, and sellers establish the price that they want. Houses that are well priced, decorated, updated and in move-in condition always move rapidly.

Myth #3 My house will look better next Spring when the trees have leaves and the flowers are blooming.

Truth: Remember, the playing field is level in this Autumn season when you choose to sell your home. In the Spring, everyone’s house has blooming flowers and trees. Do not discount the benefits of Autumn selling. Autumn decorations, Thanksgiving and the wonderful aroma of food, roaring fires in the fireplace and scented candles are very attractive to buyers.

Myth #4 Since I need to move in the Winter, I will wait until then to sell my house.

Truth: Home sellers with flexibility in Autumn can sell and set a closing date in Winter, which can benefit both the seller and the buyer. The seller, knowing that their house is sold, can go and buy a new house, with less pressure. The buyer may benefit by having the necessary time to sell their old house.”

Sellers interested in learning more about selling their home in the late Fall/Winter can contact the ERA Justin Realty sales professionals at both of their Rutherford office locations at 118 Jackson Avenue and 57 Park Avenue, for a no obligation Customer Analysis Report.  A written report that provides the market value of a house, those houses that have sold, market trends and other information that will aid a seller in properly pricing their house is available for the asking.  Phone the ERA Justin Realty team at (201) 939-7500(201) 438-0588 or (201) 438-SOLD.  ERA Justin Realty is a “Top 100” ERA real estate firm worldwide and they have received the prestigious “Commitment to Excellence Award” for service to their sellers, their buyers and the communities they serve.

ERA JUSTIN REALTY OFFERS SUCCESSFUL CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Jennifer Darby Metzger and Ron Darby, Broker Co-owners of ERA Justin Realty suggest with real estate trends, careers and technology changes ERA Justin Realty offers one of the strongest mentor training programs for both new and experienced agents in a fast paced real estate industry.

                       ERA JUSTIN REALTY OFFERS SUCCESSFUL CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
“Are you in a career where you help others achieve their career goals? We are!” According to Ron Darby and Jennifer Darby Metzger, broker owners of ERA Justin Realty, an award winning local company, “Real estate agents help buyers and sellers achieve their goals every day and we do the same for agents who join our firm.”

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!”

Cathy Vick Offers Suggestions for a Smooth Sailing Purchase

Cathy Vick Offers Suggestions for a Smooth Sailing Purchase
If you are contemplating the purchase of your first home, congratulations! As you probably know, buying a home is one of the biggest financial commitments you can make. It is also a process filled with excitement. To help keep you sleeping soundly, here are answers to three questions that concern many potential first-time homeowners, answered by ERA Justin Realty sales agent Cathy Vick.
“ERA Justin Realty has generated multi-thousands of home purchases and is the #1 realty office in closed Rutherford, NJ transactions for the past fourteen years based on statistics from the New Jersey MLS. Today new generations entering the market are wanting to buy their first home. ERA Justin Realty serving the communities in Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Essex Counties has sold multi-thousands of homes to first time homebuyers since their opening in 1950,” said Vick.
Vick added, “Seeing shifts in the industry from buyers markets to sellers markets as well as varied shifts in mortgage interest rates, historically their buyers have enjoyed both the benefits of home ownership as well as value appreciation over the years.  Since ERA Justin Realty’s early beginnings, the firm has since served referrals of the children and grandchildren of their original purchasers.”
She continued: “Question #1: How do you decide what to look for in a home?  It’s easier than you think. Sit yourself down and list what’s important to you in a home. The purchase of every home involves making tradeoffs, so be sure to prioritize your list. One element is architectural style. Do you prefer a Colonial, a Cape Cod or a modern look? An important factor to consider is living space. How much room do you need right now, and to meet anticipated needs?  Make a list of features that mustbe a part of your home. Perhaps that Olympic-size pool and tennis court can be put off for another day, but you may absolutely need an eat-in kitchen now! It’s all a matter of your taste and personal style.
Question #2: Where should you begin the search?  That old real estate adage about ‘location, location, location’ aside, choosing where to live is usually determined by your personal circumstances and desires.  Do you have a particular community, or even a particular block, in mind? What is it about the location of your new home that is most important to you? Do you prefer an urban, suburban or rural setting? Consider proximity to work, schools, shopping, entertainment and houses of worship. Once you’ve narrowed your list of potential candidates, the Internet can be an excellent tool for learning what a particular community has to offer.  We offer extensive websites at www.ERAJustin.com  andwww.ERAJustinRealty.com where you can view all of our listings with descriptions, extras offered, as well as our 1000’s of homes section where you can literally view thousands of homes currently on the market.
Question #3: How can you find financing that makes sense?  With varied choices and prices, homes have seldom been more affordable. Interest rates are lower than we’ve seen in decades. Innovative financing plans are available to fit a broad range of needs for qualified buyers. Still, the last thing you want to do is start out in your first home saddled with an uncomfortable level of debt. Seeking the advice of a professional who can give you the information on financing options that match your qualifications is a big step in the right direction.  Once you’ve narrowed your search, talk to one of our ERA Justin Realty agents who serve the community you’d like to call home. We are trained to assist and help guide you through your purchase every step of the way. Our websites reach around the globe to bring up-to-date information directly to you. The path to finding your first home can be fulfilling and even fun!”

Daniel Danny Simone and Libra Lee Schilare  Expand
Investment Division at ERA Justin Realty
 
Jennifer Darby Metzger and Ron Darby Broker Co-owners of  ERA Justin Realty in conjunction with Danny Simone and Lee Schilare are expanding the company’s investment division.  Both coming from a strong listing and sales background at Century-21 Eudan Realty as a team, Simone said, “We are eager to continue our ever-growing career with ERA Justin Realty and expand the investment division with my business partner Lee Schilare.”
 
Schilare added, “With twenty plus years of real estate experience, specializing with sellers and buyers, my ability to guide them through the process from beginning to closing is my dedicated process.  We always work to exceed expectations be it a purchase, sale, brand new construction or one of our many investment opportunities.”
 
Darby offered, “It is our belief that people do not want to be sold something. What people want is for someone to help guide them to make a well informed decision. As professionals, it is Danny and Lee’s purpose to share their knowledge and experience as they continue to expand our investment division. As your trusted Realtor agent, it is their goal to serve you within their excellent partnership team.”
 
Metzger added, “There are many types of real estate: Industrial – These are manufacturing buildings and property, as well as warehouses. The buildings can be used for research, production, storage and distribution of goods. This is sometimes considered commercial real estate, even though the zoning, construction and sales are handled differently. Land – This not only includes vacant land but also working farms and ranches. There are several specialties within vacant land, including undeveloped, early development or reuse, subdivision and site assembly. Residential – This includes both new construction and resale homes including condominiums, coops, townhouses, duplexes and vacation homes. Commercial Real Estate – This includes shopping centers and strip malls, hotels and offices plus medical and educational buildings. Apartment buildings are often considered commercial, even though they are used for residences, because they are owned by businesses to produce income.” 
 
Continuing, Simone stated, “I am always looking forward to meeting new buyers and sellers and offer my knowledge and work ethic to accomplish their goals. Schilare continued, “My successful business background with strong customer service and my determination to exceed buyer and seller needs prove successful at the completion of each real estate transaction. Danny and I chose to be with ERA Justin Realty because of its sixty-five plus years of success and a professional and welcoming office team.  They are a long time area real estate firm with thousands of satisfied customers and clients.”
 
Metzger concluded, “There is a difference in real estate companies. Attending on-going advanced training, seminars, round-table discussions with industry leaders and focus groups are what we continually do at our firm. We believe, in order to exceed seller’s expectations of what a real estate agent is about, we don’t learn just the basics. We want to learn, know and teach much more than is ever expected of us. In that way, we know that our buyers and sellers will hold us in the highest regard. Danny and Lee are an important part of this process as we expand our industrial division.”
 
ERA Justin Realty  buyers and sellers have put their thoughts of the company in writing. They have on file for review, Real Estate Results In Writing their report of nearly 800 reviews from satisfied sellers and buyers.

ERA Justin Realtors Send Youngsters to MDA Summer Camp
Since 1955, MDA has built bridges and knocked down barriers for youngsters with neuromuscular diseases by providing an unforgettable week at MDA summer camp, in part this summer through the efforts of the ERA Justin Realty teammates who are pictured and others, Glenn Elliot, Michelle Korosy, Jennifer Darby Metzger, Lee Schilare, Danny Simone and Ron Darby. All were recently invited to attend the MDA VIP Summer Camp day to be with the kids.
Ron Darby, Broker Co-owner and ERA MDA Chairman for New Jersey for sixteen years said, “It has been the focus of our entire staff of agents to raise tax deductible donations to send as many children to MDA summer camp as possible. We reached out to all of the business firms and individuals we transact business with throughout the year to send in their donations large and small.  Donations were pooled in an effort to send children to the  MDA summer camp for a week.  In the past we had focused on raising funds for MDA research, but we now focus to give these children an immediate positive experience.  Due to the untiring efforts of our staff and those who donated, the MDA youngsters are enjoying a week in the country in a structured environment to fit their abilities.
Our ERA Justin Realty team of over 30 never stopped until our summer goal for our MDA youngsters was met. Additionally, we chair the ERA Brokers of  NJ fundraising. In total, by year end we hope to achieve collective totals approaching $25,000.
Each year MDA supports nearly 90 summer camps across the country. Whether in Alaska or Hawaii, in California or New Jersey, at MDA camp barriers simply don’t exist. A child with a disability can just be a child among friends. MDA camp is a magical place offering a wide range of activities specially designed for young people who have limited mobility or use wheelchairs. MDA camp programs, although structured, are conducted in a relaxed atmosphere that gives campers an unmatched opportunity to develop lifelong friendships, share interests and build self-confidence.
