ERA JUSTIN REVIEWS INSPECTING THE HOME INSPECTOR, A CRITICAL LOOK

by ERA Justin

Cathy Vick. a past honoree as RealSource Association of Realtors, Realtor of the year with a thirty-year relationship with ERA Justin Realty is known throughout Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Essex Counties for her expertise in real estate sales. She has processed hundreds of purchase and sale transactions, has interfaced and coordinated hundreds of home inspections and provides important information for consumers about home inspectors.
     ERA JUSTIN REVIEWS INSPECTING THE HOME INSPECTOR, A CRITICAL LOOK

 

“Home sellers increasingly are ordering pre-sale home inspections to make reports available for buyers to review before they make an offer. By doing so, they hope to avoid renegotiations that can occur if the buyer’s inspections reveal defects that weren’t disclosed to them before they made an offer,” according to Inman News report writer Dian Hymer, stated ERA Justin Realtor Cathy Vick.
Vick continued, “Knowledge is essential and depends on the reliability of the inspectors and the completeness of the reports.


 Ask your ERA Justin Realtor agent for a candid opinion of an inspector’s reliability. If some of your agent’s past clients used an inspector, call the inspector and ask for references.  Check with friends who bought recently to see if they know the inspector and if they would use him again.


Home inspections often recommend further inspections by other professionals, such as roofers, plumbers, electricians, drainage contractors or engineers. It’s hard to tell from a written report whether a further inspector recommendation is in response to something questionable that the inspector discovered or whether it’s simply an attempt by the inspector to limit his liability.


Before you rely on a report, have a conversation with the inspector to find out if there are issues of serious concern that need further investigation or are just cosmetic. Unfortunately there are times that an inspection will make a potential buyer shy away from a transaction only to be sorry a short time later, wanting to reinstate the contract and to find that the house had been sold to another buyer.



In competitive markets, where overbidding is the norm, many buyers choose to rely on the sellers disclosures and forego an inspection contingency.  This may not be risky if the sellers have provided current reports from reputable inspectors and the buyers have home owning experience.



Experienced homeowners have an advantage because they can often assess how much it will cost to repair defects even if the sellers don’t provide estimates. Buyers who don’t fall into this category typically include an inspection contingency in their offer. There’s a strategy that could improve your chances even if you end up competing with buyers who choose to waive their right to an inspection contingency. You can include an inspection contingency in your purchase offer, but also include a provision that you will pay up to a certain amount to correct defects that are uncovered that were previously unknown. This way the seller knows that you are a sincere buyer who won’t back out due to minor defects that might be uncovered during your inspections.”

“There is a difference in real estate companies. We ask buyers and sellers to compare, and 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,” added Vick.
ERA Justin Realty is known to have received the prestigious ERA global Commitment to Excellence Award, as a premier ERA real estate firm from approximately 2,600 globally and previously received, part of ERA’s most sought after award the J.D. Power & Associates Award.  Only outstanding business entities are honored and receive it.  ERA Real Estate was the recipient of the Highest Satisfaction for First Time Home Buyers Among Full Service Real Estate Firms award. For these reasons ERA Justin Realty should be your buying and selling Realtor of choice.

ERA Justin Realty Report: Real Estate Decisions and Beyond

by ERA Justin
Rosemarie Zembryski, Realtor agent with ERA Justin Realty has been awarded the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation by the Real Estate Specialist Council of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) the world’s largest association of real estate professionals focusing and specifically representing senior clients in real estate transactions. Her aim is also for first time buyers and her list of selling results has been outstanding, having focus on tax consequences.

ERA Justin Realty Report:  Real Estate Decisions and Beyond
“If you are getting ready to move out of your longtime home into more sunshine, and have made a determination that you will not be selling your house, you can actually gift it to a child or friend but that gift will come with a few strings attached. In many countries around the world, once the parents die, the children simply move into the home and take over the master bedroom. While that progression still occurs in the United States, estate taxes, rising home values, job transfers, and the desire for a separate space and different environment have changed the use of the traditional family home. The bottom line is that the home has evolved from basic shelter to the average person’s hopeful most valuable possession. It needs to be carefully protected, guarded, and even nursed along–much like the responsibilities that took place within the home itself. And the financial value is usually accompanied by priceless memories and experiences, making the family home beyond doubt the ultimate asset.”  This is information brought forth by author Tom Kelly in his book “Real Estate for Boomers and Beyond,” reported ERA Justin Realty’s Rosemarie Zembryski a Realtor agent with the firm.
Zembryski suggests, “First and foremost, your child or friend’s basis in the house will be what you paid for the property, plus major improvements. Because this cost you paid years ago is probably much lower than today’s increased home value, there’s a chance tax will be owed on a subsequent sale. Before moving forward with what we review here, tax laws and legal consequences  continually change and our facts and figures are suggestions on how the process has worked in the past. You should review your path with your legal and tax advisers first.
Kelly’s book when written stated with terms always changing and updating, “For example, if you purchased your home in 1970 for $60,000 and it is now worth $450,000, your child’s basis would be $60,000 if you chose to transfer the home to the child as a gift. Capital improvements are the cost of improvements having a useful life of more than one year. Examples include the new roof, dock, deck, remodeled bathroom, and finished basement. Generally, an expense is a capital improvement if it adds value to the property or extends its useful life. If these criteria are not met and the expenditure is considered necessary to maintain current usefulness, it is a maintenance cost.”
If you are going to gift your home to an individual, it’s best to offset the amount by first using your annual gift tax exclusion of $14,000 per gift. You can gift $14,000 (this amount may change, verify the current tax laws) to any one person in any year. Hence, if you and your spouse each make a gift to both your child and her spouse, you can offset it against the home’s value.
Zembryski concluded, “Tax regulations do change, so take the time to check with a tax attorney or an accountant before making any moves. Be certain that goals are shared and discussed. You’ll find it saves time, money and anxiety.”

ERA Justin Realty Leadership Circle Achievers Share their Knowledge

by ERA Justin
                       
Pictured clockwise the ERA Justin Realty 2014 Leadership Circle team, Julia Dagistanli, Carol D. Calamari, Glenn Elliot, Cathy Vick, Jennifer Darby Metzger, Fara Espandi, Peggy McLaughlin and Kristen Davis who demonstrate their best-of-the-best knowledge for their sellers and buyers and know the secrets to real estate success. 
ERA Justin Realty Leadership Circle Achievers Share their Knowledge
 
In addition to being ERA Justin Realty Leadership Circle achievers for the first half of 2014, for achievement in representing their buyers and sellers in listings and sales, Julia Dagistanli, Carol D. Calamari, Glenn Elliot, Cathy Vick, Jennifer Darby Metzger, Fara Espandi, Peggy McLaughlin and Kristen Davis know the secret to real estate success.  It’s second nature for these Realtor brokers and agents who are an instrumental part of the ERA Justin Realty team.  Simply watch them day after day, month after month, year after year.  They are focused on exceeding the needs of their sellers and buyers. It becomes automatic for them through the days months and years.
 
They have also offered their knowledge to readers on a variety of topics.  Throughout the year topics offered in the South Bergenite, include Moving and How It Affects Children, How Renters Can Become Buyers, Dollar For Dollar Return on Renovations, Empty Nesters and Returning Children, Avoiding the Money Pit, as well as other timely articles for buyers and sellers.
 
Recently announced, ERA Justin Realty continues as a Top-100 ERA firm nationwide as they serve Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Essex counties. The firm was recently singled out from over 30,000 ERA brokers and agents globally to be honored in Los Angeles where they received the ERA Circle of Light Award for their work with buyers, sellers, community and charitable efforts.
 
If you are considering the sale of a home and want to know the facts of the 2014 summer into fall real estate market, including current pricing, you should contact one of the Leadership Circle achievers at our firm and request a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) at no cost or obligation to determine its true market value as well as the market forecast. Due to continuing market changes, any of our professionals will be pleased to provide a current market price analysis of your home.
 
In conducting a CMA, our ERA Justin Realty Leadership Circle achievers have access to a wide array of information, such as databases containing current listing and selling prices of similar homes in the neighborhood. The resulting analysis can help a homeowner understand the current market and will provide a realistic figure of the home’s fair market value.  If a home is then put on the market, we can use the CMA results 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 homes in the area have sold.
 
Although showing and selling real estate is a 365 day and night job for these ERA Justin Realtor professionals, their responsibilities go beyond what the public sees.  The firm has a vast resource library of important topics to share with the public.  These professionals and their brokers, Ron Darby and Jennifer Darby Metzger are always busy advising homeowners on topics that aid them in making sound real estate decisions regarding their homes.
 
Speaking of these achievers, “There is a difference in real estate companies,” stated Cathy Vick. “Attending on-going advanced training, seminars, round-table discussions with industry leaders and focus groups is what we continually do at our firm; much more than many other area real estate firms.  We believe, in order to exceed sellers expectations of what a Realtor professional 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 sellers will hold us in the highest regard.  To prove that, our sellers and buyers have put their thoughts in writing. We have on file for the asking, What people are saying, our report of over 700 reviews.  No other area real estate firm can offer that.”
 
“Our ERA Justin Realtor professionals are our best-of-the-best through the first half of 2014. They achieved our Leadership Circle status for their efforts above and beyond for their sellers and buyers. We invite others who would like to be sales associates join our team. Licensed, or would like to be licensed, you’re invited to join us,”  added broker Jennifer Darby Metzger.

ERA Home Protection Plan • ERA Justin Realty • Grace Tirrito • NJ • Ron Darby • Rutherford • August 7, 2014

ERA Justin Realty Home Protection Plans Give Peace-of-Mind

by ERA Justin
ERA Justin Realtor agent Grace Tirrito, with decades of real estate experience in residential real estate sales throughout Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Essex Counties began her career with Auteri Realty and now for years as an award winning agent with ERA Justin Realty. She shares  how home protection plans safeguard a buyer or seller from unexpected expenses when covered mechanical items break down.
 
ERA Justin Realty Home Protection Plans Give Peace-of-Mind
Rutherford:  Everyone has his or her own “house horror story.” The Sheffield’s saga began just days after they moved into their new home and continued throughout the first year. The pool pump broke, the built-in vacuum stopped working, and most devastating, the air conditioning system ceased operating on the first day of the summer heat wave. Thereafter, the Sheffield home was nicknamed  “The Money Pit.” 
Fortunately, the Sheffield’s had the forethought to purchase a home protection plan from their ERA real estate firm, which covered all or some of the costs of repairing or replacing the broken home components.
 
Grace Tirrito, ERA-Justin Realtor agent said, “The Sheffield’s story repeats itself thousands of times a day across the country.  It is for that reason that ERA-Justin Realty has the ERA Home Protection Plan program available for both our Buyers and Sellers.”
Grace continued, “A home protection plan safeguards a Buyer or Seller from unexpected expenses when covered mechanical items break down. The ERA Buyer Protection Plan and Seller Protection Plan are fully insured and administered by warranty services and provide replacement coverage as well as comprehensive repair of major mechanical systems and appliances such as air conditioning, heating and electrical systems, interior plumbing, built-in appliances, water heaters and accessible ductwork, subject to a small deductible per service call. Ask to see the most current plan details as the ERA Buyer Protection Plan is subject to certain terms and conditions and varies for single and multi-family homes.
For Sellers, a home protection plan adds value to their home sale and protects them at a time when they would rather not make major investments in their property. It has been reported that on average, homes listed with a warranty sell more rapidly than homes listed without a home warranty. The ERA Protection Plan goes one step further by covering the Seller for up to six months provided that the Seller agrees to purchase the plan at a nominal fee for the Buyer. It’s a win-win situation for the Seller having protection in place while the house is on the market for sale.
For Buyers in New Jersey, the ERA Protection Plan provides coverage generally for a year after the purchase on resale homes and, on new homes, the second through the fifth year of ownership (a builder’s warranty generally provides protection for the first year). 
If one considers that the most costly purchase in life is generally one’s house, a home protection plan is a small price to pay for peace of mind and to insure oneself against the unexpected.
 
“There is a difference in real estate companies, and our ERA Protection Plans are perfect examples. We ask Buyers and Sellers to compare.  We believe that in order to exceed expectations of what a real estate firm is about, we don’t offer just real estate basics, and 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,” she added.
 
Jennifer Darby Metzger broker co-owner added, “At ERA Justin Realty the words, ‘There is a difference in real estate companies’ is more than a phrase.  We live it every day.  Because of our daily priorities, we proudly received several prestigious ERA global awards, the ‘Commitment to Excellence Award’ as well as the ‘Circle of Light for Community Service” award, the only firm from approximately 31,000 ERA brokers and agents. For these reasons ERA Justin Realty has been selected by thousands of buyers and sellers as their Realtor of choice over the past 64 years. Our team would love to be your Realtor.”
 
All of the ERA Justin Realty full service sales professionals can be reached at either of their two Rutherford offices at 118 Jackson Avenue and 57 Park Avenue.  By office phone (201) 939-7500, (201) 438-0588 or (201) 438-SOLD.  Additional cutting-edge real estate technology also information awaits you at www.ERAJustin.com and www.ERAJustinRealty.com.

Surrounded by their outstanding team of Realtor agents, many with the firm for decades, each agent takes pride in the continuing growth of the firm, the ongoing training available and why the firm continues to be a Realtor of choice as they have been to multi-thousands of buyers and sellers.
 

Reasons to Use ERA Justin Realty as your Realtor of Choice

The past four years have been a time of economic change for the country with effect on the real estate industry. Many firms have downsized and have been absorbed by other leading real estate brands. ERA Justin Realty through directed management has grown during this period and continues to be a Realtor of choice throughout Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Essex Counties. It further is part of one of the largest relocation and referral outreaches in the nation under the leadership of Realogy Corporation.
 
The question to those sellers entering the real estate market may ask why pay a Realtor® a commission to sell your home? After all, possibly 8 % of homeowners attempt to handle the sale of a home themselves, a statistic more or less over the years regardless of market conditions. Before making a decision about whether to go it alone, it is important to have a realistic idea of what is involved in the biggest financial transaction most of us are likely to make. Why work with an ERA Justin Realtor®? Here are six reasons to consider:
 
Reason #1 – ERA Justin Realtors®  know your market. Realtors® are in a position to know what’s happening in the real estate market, not just in your state and your community, but in your neighborhood. As trained professionals who may have seen hundreds of homes similar to yours and know their features and selling prices, a professional is well qualified to set a price range that can bring the maximum number of offers for your home.
 
Reason #2 – ERA Justin Realtors®  sweat the details. Accurate pricing, qualifying potential buyers, positioning advertising for maximum exposure, evaluating potential offers, negotiation and closing the sale are some of the basic skills needed to successfully sell your home. Then there are environmental, government and disclosure requirements that must be followed.
 
Reason #3 – Continuing, they know marketing. Marketing that attracts offers, not just lookers. A coordinated marketing campaign using the right combination of print advertising, direct mail and the Internet ensures your home receives maximum exposure. And an experienced Realtor® can advise you on cost-effective strategies for ensuring your home looks its best to potential buyers.
 
Reason #4 – And they are pros at bringing buyers and sellers together. An ERA Justin Realtor®  may already have a buyer for your home! Successful Realtors®  are continually replenishing their rosters of potential buyers, as well as networking with other real estate professionals who may have the perfect buyer for your home.
 
Reason #5 – Reducing your stress. Are you prepared to show your home in the middle of the day? Every weekend? ERA Justin Realtors® have the time to show your home whenever it is convenient for a potential buyer. It’s their job. And they are available to respond quickly and courteously to inquiries by phone call, email and text. Think of an ERA Justin Realtor® as your personal home sales assistant and your professional to be successful for you.
 
Reason # 6 – Your experienced negotiators. Realtors® can help avoid costly errors during the negotiation phase of a transaction. As experienced negotiators, they can help maintain objectivity during what can often be an emotional time for sellers and buyers. And the ability to deal successfully with any issues that crop up often calls for just the right combination of firmness and diplomacy.
 
Metzger said, “Whether you are a seller or a buyer, perhaps the biggest benefit our real estate Realtor professionals have to offer to you is their experience. We have made assisting buyers and sellers our business, so that you can get on with your business, and pleasure, of realizing your dream! We have been doing this since 1950. Achieving and exceeding goals is our goal each day and what makes the difference. There truly is a difference in real estate companies and we want be to be your Realtor.”
 
Darby concluded, “This year ERA Justin Realty proudly received the prestigious ‘Circle of Light Award,’ as a premier ERA real estate firm, selected from approximately 31,000 ERA brokers and agents globally. All of our full service Realtor agents can be reached at either of our two Rutherford offices at 118 Jackson Avenue and 57 Park Avenue.  Call our office phones (201) 939-7500, (201) 438-0588 or (201) 438-SOLD.  Also view 1000’s of homes at our websites at www.ERAJustin.com and www.ERAJustinRealty.com.“

ERA Justin Report: Tackling Home Improvements. Are You Up To The Task?

by ERA Justin

ERA Justin Co. has many successful agents.That applies to Julia Dagistanli who joined ERA Justin Realty as a full-time salesperson. She has been selected twice as a New Jersey Five Star Home Professional by New Jersey Monthly magazine and has gained admiration from her her buyers and sellers. She now offers her report and asks, are you up to the task of tackling home improvements yourself?

ERA Justin Report: Tackling Home Improvements. Are You Up To The Task? 

Remodeling or building a home can be quite exciting and challenging! It’s your opportunity to create living and work space that suits your individual needs. By acting as your own contractor you can save a bundle of cash. The tradeoff is an occasional headache or two. Are you up to the task?

ERA Justin Realty’s Realtor agent Julia Dagistanli, suggests, “If something can go wrong, it probably will! You’ve heard that one before. But proper planning can eliminate a lot of those woes. It’s necessary to coordinate everything before you begin the project. Educate yourself on what needs to happen and when.

If you are remodeling the bath and kitchen, you will need to have a plumber and an electrician do their work long before the tile is installed and the walls painted. Start a planning log and keep all your information in one spot. That way, it’s easier to see the whole picture at once. Include your building or remodeling plans along with all your decorating ideas. And list estimated costs next to each item under consideration.

You can save money in the kitchen and bath by utilizing the old footprints instead of moving plumbing, electrical and gas services. But if the old setup is outdated or doesn’t suit your lifestyle, get some expert assistance on a re-design. You’ll get the advantage of a more pleasing floor plan and when it’s time to sell; this can be a real advantage.

Your budget is the first thing you’ll have to contend with. Don’t think that because you can’t spend a bundle you must forgo the extras. Consider which upgrades are important to you. Are you happy with a stainless sink, or would a more expensive porcelain one satisfy you better? Would a whirlpool tub or sauna be an appreciated luxury or would you prefer to put that money into a more deluxe shower? You may not be able to afford all the bells and whistles, but the addition of one or two ‘must have’ items will go a long way in creating the perfect space for you and your family.

Don’t forget about permits, inspections and safety features. Never attempt portions of the project yourself unless you have the expertise. Leave the complicated things up to the professionals and remind yourself that you’re saving a lot by doing some of the work yourself.”

Ron Darby broker co-owner added, “At ERA Justin Realty the words, ‘There is a difference in real estate companies’ is more than a phrase.  We live it every day.  Because of our daily priorities, we proudly received several prestigious ERA global awards, the ‘Commitment to Excellence Award’ as well as the ‘Circle of Light for Community Service” award, the only firm from approximately 31,000 ERA brokers and agents.

ERA Justin’s Carol D. Calamari Offers The Joys of Historic Homes

by ERA Justin
Carol D. Calamari a full-time Realtor agent with ERA Justin Realty and a consistent ERA Leadership Circle achiever, reviews a designation which makes her familiar with architecture that spans more than three centuries of history. Her three quarters of 2014 listing and sales production will certify her for several ERA awards by year-end.
ERA Justin’s Carol D. Calamari Offers The Joys of Historic Homes
 Most of us appreciate the aesthetic value of historic homes, and have even been known to fall in love with them from time to time.
Carol D. Calamari of ERA Justin Realty Co. has partnered with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to increase her educational outreach centering on the preservation of historic properties. Having this designation makes her familiar with architecture that spans more than three centuries of history, highlighting both high-style and vernacular buildings ranging from stately Federal mansions and handsome Italianate rowhouses to modest Queen Anne cottages and mail-order bungalows.
Understanding the work of authentic geniuses such as Henry Hobson Richardson, offbeat eccentrics such as Orson Squire Howler and Italian architects such as Andrea Palladio, Carol focused on the Old World roots of American design.  This knowledge helps her to understand how the great Gothic cathedrals of Europe are reflected in a “gingerbread” house in Maine, how Thomas Jefferson’s love affairwith a Roman temple helped spark a national mania for Greek buildings and how the flat Midwestern landscape shaped Frank Lloyd Wright’s bold Prairie Style. This in-depth knowledge gives Carol the ability to characterize Old World features of a home that  properly positions a historic home in today’s marketplace.
Carol stated, “Real estate professionals like to offer as many kinds of properties to prospective customers as there are different personalities of buyers. And few real estate properties have more personality than a historic home.  By the standards of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, any structure at least 50 years old may qualify for historic-landmark status. This is determined by a home or other building’s demonstration of particularly significant architectural features or now-rare styles, or its role in important past activities or events such as famous inventions, once-pivotal industries, presidential birthplaces or visits, etc.”
She continued,  “Such homes, although wonderful, present challenges. The older the house, the more likely certain asbestos and lead paint will be present that aren’t in newer homes; these will have to be dealt with. And restoring the historic character to a possibly-neglected house can be a costly and time-consuming effort.

But there’s much to be said for the personal satisfaction of remaking a house by your own effort, and restoring an example of America’s past that can help keep us mindful and proud of our heritage. Also, where there are historic homes there are likely to be whole historic neighborhoods, which preserve and offer to the homebuyer just the kind of old-fashioned community qualities that today’s home-seekers are craving and today’s developers are trying to re-create.
If your home is on or considered eligible for local, state or national registers of historic places, various rules will be in effect for building materials, renovations, and uses of the structure which most fit the historical period in which it was built. Although these requirements can be an inconvenience, many states offer tax and other incentives for owning and rehabilitating historic homes found to meet historic-preservation officials’ criteria. And owners of homes on government registers of historic places still have broad latitude in selling, altering and using their property.
Before buying such a home, you’ll want to check into several factors to determine whether the investment you’re making in history is the right one for you: What laws apply to local historic buildings and districts, how much restoration does the house require, and what contractors are available who are knowledgeable about handling historic homes are a few of the major questions you’ll want answered before making a commitment.”

Carol is a qualified real estate professional who can help guide you through this rewarding but complicated area.  She has a special edge through her long standing past association with the National Trust for Historic Preservation: She was certified in recognizing and appreciating the diverse styles of historic homes, and understanding the challenges faced and advantages available to customers wishing to buy and sell such properties.

Karen Kelly offers “Seller Competition Requires Attention For A 2014 Showing”

by ERA Justin

Karen Kelly, ERA Justin Realtor agent and professional with the firm brings you suggestions for staging your house and for a good showing. Her buyer and seller base of satisfied customers has proven successful for those she works with. With strong seller competition her tips include best positioning your house for a strong showing.

Karen Kelly offers “Seller Competition Requires Attention For A 2014 Showing”

As important a landmark as buying a home is in people’s lives, you’d be surprised at how much of it can turn on snap decisions. If you’re selling a house you’ll have to put careful thought into customers’ first impressions, because many sales will be made or lost before they reach the front door – or as soon as they walk through it.
ERA Justin Realty’s Karen Kelly offers a menu of possible ‘first impression’ areas that an owner may want to consider. “First consider curb appeal – the feeling customers get from the upkeep of the house and grounds, and how comfortable this makes them imagining themselves as a resident. You want to do everything you can to make them see your house as their house, both outside and in. A new paint job or paint touchups is an investment that should more than pay for itself, and neat landscaping, trimmed shrubs, new flowers puts your prospective buyers in just the right frame of mind. Inside, kitchens and bathrooms should be in sparkling condition; these rooms are known to be what makes up many home-seekers’ minds. Removal of odors like pet smells and smoke will lessen distractions for customers you want focusing on your home’s possibilities, and clearing of clutter is crucial.

The fewer belongings you have crowding your rooms and closets, the bigger the home will appear, and the easier it will be for potential buyers to envision placing their own possessions there. Put some things in storage if you need to, or hold a garage sale to help cut down on some of the build-up you were going to clear out for moving anyway. For buyers picturing themselves in your home, it’s also good to present the house in as general good taste as possible – personal memorabilia, collectibles, and eccentric wall colors and furnishings should go out with the clutter. Repainting rooms in a neutral white also helps convey the sense of spaciousness. Clean windows, fresh flowers, and other small details with big impact – they’re what you want to remember. From major improvements to subtle touches that tip the scales in your favor, the features of a house that we often take for granted can be the ones that determine your home selling success. According to the National Association of Realtors®, curb appeal alone accounts for half of all home sales.”

Kelly continued, “A little effort now saves you a lengthy process later. First impressions will expedite the sale, and securing the services of a qualified ERA Justin Realtor® agent will make it all the surer. One of our real estate professionals can guide you in all the above matters and more, from supplying a checklist of presentation tips, to recommending affordable painting contractors from his or her industry connections, to helping you rearrange the furniture. Whatever it takes, we can give you confidence that, for some buyer soon, the showing of your home may be love at first sight. We also will provide a 2014 home market analysis (CMA) with information 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.”
ERA Justin Realty has proudly received the prestigious ERA world-wide ‘Commitment to Excellence Award’ for continuing years, selected from approximately 31,000 ERA real estate brokers and agents. They also have on file their publication ‘Real Estate Results in Writing,’ their report of nearly 800 buyer and seller reviews. Only outstanding business entities are honored to offer these results.

ERA Justin’s Kristen Davis offers Summer Relocation Tips for Kids

by ERA Justin

ERA Justin Realty’s Kristen Davis, whose full time focus is serving the needs of buyers and sellers in Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Essex Counties takes a moment to share thoughts about the kids and their feelings when Mom and Dad move to the new home.

ERA Justin’s Kristen Davis offers Summer Relocation Tips for Kids

Kristen Davis, an active and focused sales professional with ERA Justin Realty offers South Bergenite readers, important tips on Relocation for kids. “Every year millions of families move. One of the most important issues to anyone with kids is their reaction to the news that they’re moving and their adjustment to the new home. Being informed is very important to children. One of the worst mistakes we can make as adults is to assume that kids don’t care or won’t understand the details. Keeping them ‘in the loop,’ consulting them about choices whenever possible, and including them in the family game plan will work wonders toward their adjustment.” Other factors depend on a child’s age, she continued:

“Preschool childrenKids under the age of six may worry about being left behind, or being separated from their parents. If you go on an orientation or house-hunting trip before hand without the children, it’s important to reassure kids this age that you will be back; bring something unique back to them from the new town. It’s also very important for them to express their feelings about the move. Give them a job to do – have them be responsible for boxing up their favorite toys, and ‘labeling’ their boxes with crayons and stickers.

Ages 6 to 12Elementary age kids are usually most concerned with how the everyday routines of their lives are going to change. Showing them pictures, videos and magazines of their new home will help a lot, especially if you can find new places in advance for the things they like to do. If your child takes dance lessons, find and share information about the new dance studio she can go to. If he takes karate, or plays soccer or baseball bring that information home. Even if her favorite thing to do is the park or the pizza parlor, find these places in your new neighborhood and get brochures, pictures or videos.

TeenagersTeenagers are most concerned with fitting in. They may react angrily to the move, even insist they’re not going. This is usually due to the total lack of control they have over everything important in their lives – friends, school and jobs – being disrupted. These children can be very worried about making new friends, and what will be different in the new school. They are curious about the clothing, hairstyles, bicycles, cars, etc. that kids in the new city will have. Pictures of all these things are very helpful, so if you take an orientation trip be sure to take many detailed photos/videos of the schools they will be attending.

Other tips for making the transition
1) Give young children an entertaining travel kit for the move.
2) Give older children a diary for recording the trip and move.
3) Give children of all ages a special address book and stationery set for keeping up with old friends.
4) Take videos of the new home if the kids won’t get to see it before the move. Arrive well before the movers so kids can explore and become acquainted first.
5) Give children a chore to do, such as working on their room (younger), supervising little siblings (middle), and painting or arranging furniture (older kids).
6) Take a break with the family as soon as possible to explore the museums, sights and recreation in your new city.
7) Arrange a visit to new schools and a meeting with the teacher before the actual first day of attendance.
8) Encourage the children to bring new friends home.

Regardless of when you move, prepare your children well for the transition. By planning ahead, you’ll be able to offer them a few details of what to expect. Give the kids plenty of opportunity to express their feelings about the move, and their anxieties about the new school, new friends, teachers, and their sadness at leaving all that is familiar. Try to find ways to address your own emotional needs and your stress load so that you appear available to the kids at all times. Their concerns will only be heightened if they see you with concerns. Find a balance with yourself and your kids, and keep communication open. Planning and organizing can help keep stress to a minimum. Keep an eye out for signs of stress and anxiety in your kids. Different children have different needs, certainly, and all kids process stress differently. If you do notice acting out or other behaviors that indicate adjustment problems, talk to the guidance counselor or the pediatrician about how to proceed. Share your feelings and encourage the kids to see the move as a family adventure. You’re all in it together. You will all experience emotional ups and downs, and it’s important that everyone understands how normal these feelings are. Acknowledge the emotions of moving. Looking ahead to the new house, new school, and new friends should shortly be an exciting experience.”

Davis concluded, “This is an overview of how you may want to handle your move. It is our pleasure to assist our home Buyers and Sellers throughout the entire process. Reach any of our sales professionals at either of our two Rutherford offices at 118 Jackson Avenue or 57 Park Avenue. By phone, (201) 939-7500, (201) 438-0588 or (201) 438-SOLD.
