We at ERA Justin Realty have the unique advantage of being able to celebrate our business successes daily in the most rewarding of ways; handing keys to brand new homeowners, hearing from a retiree who no longer has to shovel snow, because we helped sell a house in favor of a townhouse and in many other ways.

Assisting our clients in achieving their dreams is the motivation behind our success. We do make a point to reflect on the previous year and set a vision for the next year. To that end, we’d like to share some of our successes with you through our Leadership Circle Achievers as a demonstration of the many ways that we enhance the value that we bring to you through Jennifer Sullivan, Lee Schilare, Kristen Davis, Danielle Sette, Joana Iliescu, Rosemarie Zembryski, Julia Dagistanli, Ilene Harpuder, Fara Espandi, Carol D. Calamari, Michelle Korosy and Glenn Elliot.

Growth and productivity were key goals for ERA Justin Realty in 2017. On the growth front we have our 'Meet and Greet' office in Hoboken, NJ. We are licensed in New Jersey and New York and we have coordinated a strategic alliance with a top NYC broker for our crossover clients. We also created new tools and systems, including a training program that is second to none, overseen by our management team which has helped attract new agent talent. We are very proud to have welcomed some very enthusiastic new agents to our company this past year.

We at ERA Justin Realty Co. are passionate about developing strong leaders in our industry, helping agents use innovative ways of thinking with smart negotiations to create success for their clients. It’s about helping our communities achieve the vision that they’ve set forth for themselves.

And we are so pleased to acknowledge the very hard work of our extremely dedicated agents and staff. Within the company we continue to celebrate our Leadership Circle achievers who qualify each month based on a variety of criteria that exemplify our vision of talented and well rounded agents.

ERA Justin Realty 2018 Tips on Dressing Your House For a Good 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 Realtor agent Julian Muscio 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 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 less 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 (just hold it before buyers can see the piles on your lawn or the cars lined up on an otherwise peaceful street). For buyers picturing themselves in your home, it’s also good to present the house in as general 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 very strong sales of all home sales.”

Julian continued, “A little effort now saves you a lengthy process later. First impressions will expedite the sale, and securing the services of a qualified Realtor® will make it all the surer. One of our ERA Justin Realtor 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 will be love at first sight. We also will provide a 2018 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 make 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 and select us as their Realtor.

All across the nation, the most sought award that can be achieved in business is the ‘J.D. Power & Associates’ award. Only outstanding business entities are honored and receive it. ERA Real Estate was the recipient of ‘Highest Satisfaction for First Time Home Buyers and Sellers Among Full Service Real Estate Firms.’ For these reasons ERA Justin Realty should be your buying and selling Realtor of choice.
