ERA Justin Realty’s Cathy Vick and Rosemarie Zembryski
Achieve National Recognition
Bergen County: Cathy Vick and Rosemarie Zembryski, Realtor salespersons with ERA Justin Realty have been awarded the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation by the Seniors 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.
They join more than 16,000 real estate professionals in North America who have earned the SRES designation. Both were required to successfully complete comprehensive training in understanding the needs, considerations and goals of real estate buyers and sellers aged 55 and older. NAR, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing more than 1.3 million members in all aspects of residential and commercial real estate industries.
Cathy Vick had been selected as the RealSource Association Realtor of the year.  She was singly awarded from the association’s 3,300 membership. Their award resolution included, “She has served her community in a variety of civic commitments and has unfailingly discharged her duties and responsibilities with distinction.  She has demonstrated a concern and interest in her community and involved in the Kip Center, a senior citizen social organization. Cathy also finds time every year to raise money to help send children suffering from Muscular Dystrophy to summer camp.  Her office views her as a figure for her unselfish giving of her time and expertise to all those who ask for her help.”
Rosemarie Zembryski, a consistent ERA Justin Realty Leadership Circle award winner is always a Realtor favorite in area communities. Her buyer and seller reviews include, “We could not have asked for a better Realtor.  Rose is always professional, thoughtful caring and attentive. She made our house purchase a source of joy. Very highly recommended. Daniel & Veronica Chi.”  “Since we decided to buy a home in Bergen County, Rosemarie was the best decision we made. Very patient, friendly and she really knew what we needed.  She is the best. She made our home-buying experience pleasurable and stress free. Zoila and Alex Gomez.” “Rose, your dedication to making the deal happen is remarkable! You stayed on top of so many details and went above & beyond in terms of service. Thank you so much for your never ending efforts. Gary Ferrari”
Both Vick and Zembryski are active as Senior Real Estate specialists. They are strong communicators and participants with buyers for sales in the New Jersey aged 55 communities. They have the details on senior housing, social programs, amenities, the varied models of attached, free standing, condominiums and outstanding club house details throughout Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson Counties, New Jersey. 
According to a recent report from the KCM real estate group, “Sixty-five is the new forty-five. With more people working beyond traditional retirement age and the advances in modern medicine, the lines between middle and late adulthood are becoming a bit blurred. What makes this relevant in the world of real estate?  As our population ages, we will see more and more organizations dedicating their marketing efforts toward the senior demographic. Not all seniors are the same.  Despite the label of senior, there are three distinct types, all three involve seniors, but they aren’t based necessarily on age. Age is not a good predictor of relocation. Instead, people generally make changes in residence based on life circumstances.
Move #1: Amenity-based:
These individuals and/or couples are seeking a certain type of lifestyle and their home is only one component of a much larger picture. When looking to sell, they are usually transferring their equity from one home to the next and can usually either pay cash or put a significant down payment towards their purchase. Depending upon employment status, they may be moving across the country for more appealing climates or seeking a place near an airport making it easier to commute. Some are moving closer to kids and grandkids, while others are moving to destination locations where the family can enjoy visiting.
Move #2: Anticipatory / Planning:
As people age, they may begin to experience changes in personal health status or become the caregiver of a spouse requiring additional care. When this occurs, people may find their current home unmanageable or no longer suited for their current situation. Moving means simplifying and making preparations for future care needs and support. With this type of move, seniors are typically looking to buy a property with minimal maintenance, accessibility features, and in close proximity to quality healthcare.
Move #3: Needs-based:
While most people intend to live independently, unfortunately, this reality isn’t always possible. As health declines to the point where more support is needed than can be provided for within the person’s home and community, relocation is necessary. This move may involve selling the personal residence and relocating to a senior living community with one floor ease.”
Vick and Zembryski concluded, “We are knowledgeable, focused and have working relationships with varied over 55 communities in New Jersey and will be pleased to provide you with introductions to these communities, share their amenities and provide private showings to locate a specific community and house, villa or condominium that will suit your needs. By reaching out to us, the arduous task of locating the perfect community can be streamlined. There is a difference in real estate companies. We ask buyers and sellers to compare.  Our philosophy includes exceeding expectations of what a Senior Real Estate Specialist is about.  We don’t offer just real estate basics; we are as comprehensive as possible. In that way we know that our buyers and sellers will hold us in the highest regard as we create a successful transaction for you.”

ERA JUSTIN REALTY REPORT: GET READY FOR SPRING HOUSE REPAIRS

Carol D. Calamari a full-time Realtor salesperson with ERA Justin Realty and a consistent ERA Leadership Circle achiever, offers suggestions for Spring 2014 house repairs as winter may have created damages that call for attention.
    ERA JUSTIN REALTY REPORT: GET READY FOR SPRING HOUSE REPAIRSNow coming out of hibernation–plants, flowers, lawns, and even your home. Winter played havoc on houses, and spring should be a time to take a walk around your house to get that spring chore list in order. Here are few suggestions that you may want to explore. All houses are different as can be the suggestions,” according to ERA Justin Realty’s Carol D. Calamari.
ROOF VENTILATION
Remember that ice dam on the roof last winter? Remember how hot your attic was when you went up there to check the cable wire last summer? Proper attic ventilation can help with both those problems, and spring–while it’s not too hot or too cold–is an ideal time to take care of any necessary work. Attic ventilation may equal approximately 1 square foot of vent area for every 300 square feet of attic, so first you may want to consider roughly how many square feet your attic is, and then divide by 300. The total vent area may be roughly split between high and low vents, so now divide that number by two. Take some measurements to see if you have an adequate amount of vent area in both the eaves and high on the roof, and add more as needed. Also, check the condition of existing vents to see that the screen is intact, flashings are secure and well sealed, and there are no other problems that need correcting.
SPRINKLERS
Permanent, in-ground sprinklers are great, as long as they’re properly adjusted. Run each set of sprinklers through a cycle, and watch how and where the water is hitting. Adjust or replace any sprinklers that are hitting your siding, washing out loose soil areas, spraying over foundation vents, or in any other way wetting areas on and around your house that shouldn’t be getting wet.
GRADE
Soil is also susceptible to being washed away or redistributed by heavy winter rains and melting snow. Now is the time to check and see if the grade around the outside of your home has been moved around by winter’s fury, which can result in runoff getting into your basement or crawlspace, or running into neighbor’s yards where it shouldn’t go. Look for areas where soil seems too high or too low in relation to your home, as well as for marks on your siding, foundation, walkways, and other areas that might indicate if soil or water is in a place it shouldn’t be. A 4-foot builder’s level placed on a long, straight board can help you check grade and slope–redistribute soil so that for every foot horizontally you have at least 1/4 inch of fall away from the house.
CHECK YOUR HOUSE NUMBERS
Can someone find your house easily, especially in the dark? Spring is a great time to check that your house numbers are clearly visible from the street, that they are painted a contrasting color from whatever surface they are mounted on, that they are somehow hit by exterior lighting at night, and that they are not obscured by overgrown foliage.
FENCES AND GATES
Fence posts are especially susceptible to ground water saturation, and will loosen up and tilt if the soil around them gets soaked too deeply. Check fence posts in various areas by wiggling them to see how solidly embedded they are. If any are loose, wait until the surrounding soil has dried out from winter’s rains, then excavate around the bottom of the posts and pour additional concrete to stabilize them.  
SMOKE DETECTORS
As always when it’s time to change the clocks, you want to check your smoke detectors. Replace the batteries, clean the covers, and test the detector’s operation before it’s too late. If you have gas-fired appliances in the house, including a water heater, now is also a great time to consider adding a carbon monoxide detector, which are inexpensive and easy to install, and are available at most home centers and other retailers of electrical parts and supplies.
Calamari concluded, “If you are not personally handy, there are listings under handyman in many of the local newspapers who advertise for jobs big and small.  You may want to phone more than one, ask and check their references for work they’ve done for other homeowners before making your hiring decision.”

Cathy’s knowledge of the Real Estate market in my area was extremely helpful. She gave me excellent tips in preparing my home for sale. She accepted all my phone calls graciously.

Her professionalism makes her a true asset to her firm. Not only was I selling my home, but I was going through a personal crisis and Cathy held my hand through both!”

“You certainly were a big help in finding me my new apartment.  I was quite desperate that day, December 16, as I had to find a new apartment as soon as possible.  My Mom and I were having lunch at a restaurant in Rutherford, NJ when I saw a realty store in front of the restaurant.  I called that number and luckily I was able to talk to you.  You told me you’ll be searching an apartment within my price range.  So, after lunch when we went to your office you already had some apartment lined up.  We are so happy that you were able to guess what type of apartment we wanted.  You brought us to a very nice apartment and we immediately fell in love with it.  At first, the owner did not want us as a tenant, but you were able to pull through with the deal.  Thank you Rose, you are a great realtor and I will surely recommend you to my family and friends who needs a realtor in the future.  Again, thank you Rose for your big help.”

~~~~~~~~~

“Thank you so much for all of your help! You are absolutely the best and most professional real estate agent we have had the pleasure to work with. I know that we would never have gotten six offers and top dollar on the house in the first weekend we were listed without your expert staging advice. Also, we were very impressed with how you were able to handle our special situation with the solar panels. I am convinced that any regular Realtor would not have been able to guide this deal to close given this extra complication, but your professional attitude and persistence won the day! If we ever have the chance to move back into the area you are the only Realtor we would ever consider using!”
Arkadiusz Wolinski

“Working with Fara is a pleasure. She is very good at what she does. Her sincerity genuineness separates her from all the rest.”

“My agent knows what a customer wants. She understands requirements and our budget criteria. She always replied when I beeped her. She did a tremendous effort until my family and I were satisfied. She is not only a Realtor, but always deals with us like a family-member or good friend. She is honest and sincere. I will recommend her strongly in my circle.”
Vinod Patel

“We want to thank Fara for all of the help she gave us on the purchase of our first home. Because of her knowledge and expertise, the purchase went smoothly without a glitch.”

Gus Ruffer

“Fara helped us in so many ways! She was always solving any problems or concerns we had. She was super!”
Carol Dichiara

“Our agent Fara was a professional and a dedicated real estate salesperson. She was honest about the price our house was worth and she was able to sell it for the listing price. I honestly do not believe that our house was worth one cent more or less than Fara listed it for. She was right on the money and sold our house in the time period we needed to sell it. I would use her again, she was great!!”
Mr. Romano

“We were very satisfied with our relationship with Fara and ERA Justin. Our exceptions were exceeded by her professionalism and her attention to our needs.”
Debra and Omar Bouabidi

“There are many people that come and go in our lives. A few touch us in ways that change us forever, making us better from knowing them. You have made a difference in my life, and for this I am grateful. Thanks for all your time, concern and for being you! You’re wonderful.”
Mr & Mrs. Nolan

“Fara was exceptional! Our friends had a great experience with her as well. We will and have recommended her to friends who are also looking to purchase a home. She was always available for questions, seeing houses and going to any town we wanted – she truly is a GREAT asset to ERA. She is friendly, honest and loves her job and it shows. She became our friend through the process. She was there through the search, closing times like home inspections and even the day of the closing. The seller (who was going through another agency) called Fara to ask where the closing was – they were more comfortable asking her rather than their own Realtor. FARA IS WONDERFUL!!!”
