Twelve ERA Justin Realtors are Short Sale Foreclosure Certified Specialists 

As New Jersey lenders release thousands of bank owned depressed properties to the market to be sold, twelve Realtor professionals stand ready to assist. ERA Justin Realty serving Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties is pleased that Glenn Elliot, Daniel Weiner, Cathy Vick, Monir Hanna, Carol Calarmari, Ed Bulger, Ilene Harpuder, Salvatore Macri, Fara Espandi, Rosemarie Zembryski, June Incorvaia and Jennifer Darby Metzger have taken required training and have earned the Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource (SFR) certification through the National Association of Realtors. The firm has designated a special hotline (201) 785-7653 for a confidential appointment for home owners facing short sale and nearing foreclosure status. These sellers will be assisted by one of the SFR specialists.

Up to one-third of all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures, according to National Association of Realtors data. To train Realtors to meet the needs of home buyers and sellers who need these services, NAR has launched the Short Sales and Foreclosure Certification Program (SFR).

“Foreclosures and short sales can offer opportunities for home buyers, but it’s extremely important to have the help of a real estate professional like a Realtor® for these kinds of purchases,” said NAR President Charles McMillan, "Realtors add value to the real estate transaction with their extensive knowledge and market insights, and this certification will help them serve a growing need.”

According to media reports, it is highly recommended by lenders, the US Treasury department and others that if you are going to have to do a short sale on your property that you may want to use agents who have taken training or received a designation. Experience and patience is required in successfully negotiating short sales.

By adding the SFR specialty to their business, they have acquired the professional training necessary to assist clients and customers with the sale or purchase of distressed properties. The SFR program trains sales associates in guiding their clients through short sale and foreclosure opportunities and directing them to finance, tax and legal professionals. As an SFR professional, they further assist in qualifying sellers for short sales, developing a short sale package, negotiating with lenders, tapping into buyer demand, limiting risk, and protecting buyers.

“There is a difference in real estate companies,” stated broker co-owner Ron Darby. “Being part of the SFR certification process, we believe, is in order to exceed buyer and seller expectations of what ERA Justin Realty is about. In that way, we hope we are held in the highest regard. Our buyers and sellers have put their thoughts in writing about their past transactions. We have on file for the asking, ‘What people are saying’ our report of nearly 800 quotes and testimonials from them. No other area real estate firm can offer that.”

ERA Justin Realty has also received the prestigious 2003 through 2010 ERA 'Commitment to Excellence' Award from all across the ERA nation. For these reasons ERA Justin Realty should be your buying and selling Realtor of choice.

All of the ERA Justin Realty full service SFR certification recipients can be reached at either of their two Rutherford offices at 118 Jackson Avenue and 57 Park Avenue, by hotline phone (201) 785-7653 and (201) 939-7500, (201) 438-0588 or (201) 438-SOLD.
