Their statistics include being #1 in Rutherford closed sales for the past 13 years. ERA real estate has 32 New Jersey offices to serve you. Their New Jersey offices support each other, making their ERA brands strong and on the cutting edge of technology.  That strength including incoming and outgoing referral business brings success in closed transactions and opportunities to buyers and sellers.

 

Michelle Korosy the firm's office coordinator said, "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 a professional Realtor agent at ERA Justin Realty? Here are six reasons to consider:

 

Reason #1 - Realtors  know your market. The ERA Justin Realtor agents are in a position to know what’s happening in the real estate market, not just in our 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 that can bring the maximum number of offers for your home.

 

Reason #2 - Our Realtor agents, brokers and management team focus on the details. Accurate pricing, qualifying potential buyers, positioning advertising for maximum exposure, evaluating potential offers, negotiations 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 - We  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 our experienced Realtor agents can advise you on cost-effective strategies for ensuring your home looks its best to potential buyers."

 

Glenn Elliot added, "Reason #4 - ERA Justin Realtor agents  are pros at bringing buyers and sellers

together. We may already have a buyer for your home! Successful Realtors agents  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 - Realtors  work to reduce stress. Are you prepared to show your home in the middle of the day? Every weekend? ERA Justin Realtor agents  schedule showing your home whenever it is convenient for a potential buyer and seller. It’s our job. And they are available to respond quickly and courteously to inquiries by phone call, email, text and fax. Think of our Realtor agents your personal home sales assistant."

 

Carol D. Calamari added, "Reason # 6 - Realtor agents with ERA Justin Realty are experienced negotiators. They work closely with our brokers and management team for you. We can help avoid costly errors during the negotiation phase of a transaction. As experienced negotiators, we 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.

 

Whether you are a seller or a buyer, perhaps the biggest benefit real estate professionals have to offer to you is their experience and we've just touched on a few of the dozens of reasons why we are successful for our buyers and sellers. Ask to see our nearly 800 real estate results in writing publication, winning reviews about our successful services. We have made assisting buyers and sellers our business, so that you can get on with the business, and pleasure, of realizing your dream!"

 

Cathy Vick concluded, "To learn more about ERA Justin Realty, our staff, our sales professionals and our award-recognized programs and services we provide, call our ERA Justin Realty full service real estate agents who can be reached at either of our two Rutherford offices at 118 Jackson Avenue and 57 Park Avenue.  By phone (201) 939-7500, (201) 438-0588 or (201) 438-SOLD.

ERA Justin Realty Award Achievers Exceed Expectations

ERA Justin Realtor salespersons and 2013 award achievers include Ilene Harpuder, Cathy Vick, Michelle Korosy, Carol D. Calamari, Peggy McLaughlin, Fara Espandi, Kristen Davis, June Incorvaia, Julia Dagistanli and broker co-owners Jennifer Darby Metzger and Carol Darby who presented their awards. Not pictured is Grace Tirrito. 

ERA Justin Realty Award Achievers Exceed Expectations

Although 2013 has been a growing real estate year for sales, buyers are waiting for the right house at the right price and smart sellers who think like buyers are benefiting. The ERA Justin Realty staff of sales professionals have worked diligently with sellers and buyers to continue to be a real estate market leader.  They offer the ERA Sellers Security Plan to area sellers where ERA Justin Realty will sell the house or ERA will buy it.  There are conditions to the plan, which may not be for every seller, but for those with a timeframe deadline it may be ideal.  Additionally, the firm is offering the ERA Home Protection Plan, which covers many components of the house for the buyer, when purchased by the seller, and the seller is covered during the listing period while the house is being marketed for sale.  Consumers are invited to review both plan programs with the ERA Justin Realty sales professionals.

Ask the ERA Justin Realty 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter 2013 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, Ilene Harpuder, Cathy Vick, Michelle Korosy, Carol D. Calamari, Peggy McLaughlin, Fara Espandi, Kristen Davis, June Incorvaia, Julia Dagistanli, Grace Tirrito and broker co-owners Jennifer Darby Metzger and Carol Darby who presented their awards. 

Ron Darby, broker stated, “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 what today's market has impacted 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 2013.”

Fixer Uppers a Reality for Buyers in Improving 2013 Real Estate Economy

Carol Darby, Ron Darby and Jennifer Darby Metzger broker co-owners with combined real estate knowledge and experience approaching 100 years gives this team the background to lead their ERA Justin Realtor salespersons to continuous success. The firm, a trusted name in real estate since 1950 suggests purchases of fixer uppers as good choices for the Fall 2013 market.

Fixer Uppers a Reality for Buyers in Improving 2013 Real Estate Economy

Several years ago when the housing market was mired in real estate recession, buyers shied away from houses that needed work. The buyers who weren't put off from buying completely were interested only in turnkey homes that were in move-in condition. ERA Justin Realty has worked within all real estate economic landscapes, is well versed, assists its buyers and sellers and has been your trusted name in real estate since 1950. As we enter the Fall 2013 market, there are many buying and selling opportunities for all.

Carol Darby, ERA Justin Realty broker co-owner offered, "It was risky for some buyers to buy a house that needed work. But now the housing market is recovering and buying a house to fix up seems more reasonable, and is happening. There are basically two types of  'fixer' buyers. One is the flipper who buys a house, spruces it up quickly and sells it at a profit. The goal is not to hold the property as an investment, but to find a buyer as soon as possible after the redo is complete.

Flippers should avoid buying houses that have major problems to remedy, which will eat into profits. A way to maximize profit and minimize carrying costs during the rehab period is to understand the lower price market and if possible buy with all cash. Buy in areas where employment and transportation are good so that you will have a pool of buyers for your product when it’s ready to sell."

Jennifer Darby Metzger, broker co-owner added, "Select the neighborhood. Is it conveniently located? Are houses selling quickly? What is the average days on market from list date to sale date? This information is critical to knowing how fast you can turn the property over to a new buyer. The other type of fixer buyers are those who buy for their own use. They do not intend to flip the property, but want to increase the value of the property over time while providing a roof over their heads. This type of buyer may be willing to pay more for a property than the flipper, but the price paid and the amount spent on improvements should be researched before making a purchase. Ask our ERA Justin Realty team for the sale price of recently sold houses in the neighborhood that were similar to the one you’re considering, but in much better condition. Be sure to review how much the renovations will cost."

Ron Darby, broker co-owner concluded, "Keep a close eye on the costs of your renovations while you’re working on the project. There’s always the temptation to improve more than you had intended once you see how good the improvements you have made look. Even though you’re improving the house for yourself, remember that you will be selling someday and hope for a profit on the time and money you invested. It’s a great time to buy at prices that were not possible at the peak of the market. Just make sure you know values for the neighborhood for a property that needs work. Fixer buyers who paid high prices at the peak of the last market cycle possibly didn't make a profit. The housing market has picked up and will hopefully continue to move in a positive direction. However, the house sale market is continually changing and varies from one location to the next.  A well-informed, level-headed approach is the best bet and our ERA Justin Realtor salespersons can provide you with information so you can make an informed decision."

There is a difference in real estate companies and the ERA Justin Realty broker owner's input makes that difference important. In fact, their buyers and sellers have put their reviews in writing about their Realtor salespersons. They have on file for the asking, 'Real Estate Results In Writing,' their report of nearly 800 quotes, testimonials and reviews from their buyers and sellers.

All of the ERA Justin Realtor salespersons 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.
