Realtor Daniel Jones Joins ERA Justin Realty

Jennifer Darby Metzger, ERA Justin Realty Broker Co-owner welcomed Daniel Jones to their firm.

Upon accepting a Realtor position, he stated, "I'm eager to begin my career here. It is my belief that people do not want to be sold something. What people want is for someone to help guide them to make a well informed decision. As a professional, it is my purpose to share my knowledge and experience. As a friend, it is my intent to express my enthusiasm and commitment. As your trusted Realtor, it is my goal to serve you."

When asked to express to us his business ethics, he offered, “I'm focused, driven, consistent and always committed to my responsibilities to my buyers and sellers.”

Continuing on, with an optimistic and genuine tone, Daniel stated, “I am always looking forward to meeting new buyers and sellers and offering my knowledge and tenacious work ethic to accomplish their housing goals.”

Working with the ERA Justin agents, I know that their high standards match mine. The firm offers me greater opportunities to serve the needs of my clients through their strong marketing of listings as well as continuing education for their agents. They have proven themselves to thousands of buyers and sellers since opening their doors in 1950. They serve the areas where both myself, and my clients live. They exceed expectations each day.”

Daniel continued, “A positive atmosphere creates positive results. At ERA Justin Realty, they care about their agents like family. Their agents' success and well-being is the foundation upon which this company is built and, in turn, translating to strong listings taken and closed sales.”

Ron Darby, Broker Co-owner added, “We are pleased that Daniel has selected our firm for his real estate career. Residing in Carlstadt, he is familiar with our marketing areas. We are confident that he will give 150% of his time and energy for the success of his buyers and sellers. He is meticulous, organized and understanding in his approach to our business.

There is a difference in real estate companies. Attending on-going advanced training, seminars, round-table discussions with industry leaders and focus groups is what we continually do at our firm. We believe, in order to exceed seller’s expectations of what a real estate agent 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. Daniel is part of this process."

ERA Justin Realty sellers have put their reviews of the company in writing. They have on file for review, ‘Real Estate Results In Writing’ their report of over 700 testimonials from satisfied sellers and buyers.

Carol Darby, Ron Darby and Jennifer Darby Metzger, broker co-owners form the management team for their staff of Realtors at ERA Justin Realty. A firm established in 1950, they provide information about selecting a Realtor for your real estate transaction.

ERA Justin Realty Report 2012:

Be Selective When Picking a Real Estate Agent

According to Ron Darby, ERA Justin Realty Broker co-owner and a company market leader since 1950, “For those considering buying or selling a house, this information may be very beneficial to you. Bring together the right real estate team headed by the Realtor professional you choose. In this detailed real estate market where buyers, sellers, lenders, inspectors are strongly regulated, one should know the details so they can be successful in their purchase or sale.

Real estate training of a Realtor is necessary as the regulations governing real estate transactions go through continuous transition. In any business, there are trained real estate agents and those who may be simply a best friend of a buyer or seller who practices real estate on a limited basis and may not know the local markets, laws that govern the transaction, limiting buyers or sellers abilities to be successful in the transaction. It is not always how many years a firm has been in the business or number of homes sold.

Select your Realtor and firm that provides excellence in service. Realtor agents who do a lot of business and are constantly trained should have a wealth of experience to draw from that can be helpful when problems arise.”

Jennifer Darby Metzger, ERA Justin Realty Broker co-owner stated, “Too many times in our industry listings are taken far above the market value and above pricing proven by a comprehensive (CMA) comparative market analysis. Some listings taken by a brokerage with unrealistic pricing will sit on the sidelines as new properly priced listings come to the marketplace and are quickly sold. Furthermore, carefully determine the amount of sales in your community by the firm you are considering. Sales quoted by that Realtor outside of your community or at a distance have diminished impact for a successful sale in your specific community. Specific information is what helps create a successful transaction.

Be sure you are presented with a current, accurate and complete CMA report detailing homes for sale, those that have sold and closed and those that have expired because they did not sell. All sellers are entitled to know the entire story so they can make an educated decision as to the proper pricing of their house when placed on the market. At ERA Justin Realty, our Realtor professionals are trained to bring exacting information to our sellers. Once done, our buyers can be confident that the house they are considering or have purchased will appraise for mortgaging as long as the buyers are qualified for the loan. This is a must for the services that we provide at ERA Justin Realty. Our Realtor agents owe a great degree of focus and responsibility to those sellers who list their houses with us.”

Carol Darby continued, “It’s typical for a seller to be swept into the enthusiasm of a Realtor who speaks positively about your house, but in this current market that Realtor is under a strong degree of responsibility to advise of the current pricing and what pricing is not realistic. We make the process easy by offering over 700 written reviews of our services, ‘What people are saying’ consisting of published quotes and testimonials from our satisfied buyers and sellers.”

Metzger concluded, “We build strong rapport and trust. You'll be working with one of our Realtor professionals throughout the transaction. Working with one of our trusted Realtors is easy when you respect, trust and communicate well together. Request many references, not just one or two. We are one successful team of Realtor professionals.

Pacing this year, as in previous years, we were awarded as a ‘Top-100’ ERA real estate firm from nearly 30,000 ERA brokers and agents from their firms. Our reviews, quotes and testimonials are yours to be reviewed, simply for the asking. We have been a Realtor of choice for multi-thousands of buyers and sellers since we first opened our doors in 1950. Equally impressive is our relationship with Cartus, the worlds largest corporate relocation/referral real estate network representing 'Fortune-500' companies, where we do business for their clients in buying and selling in our marketing areas of Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties. These corporate relationships bring more selling and buying opportunities for all.”

She has two sons. Alex is a Rutherford high school senior. Peter has an employment position in Alaska.”

Collins said, “When I felt it was time to grow and become part of a real estate firm, with my ties to Rutherford and our other local communities, my choice was to be part of a local firm that has national recognition. That choice for me, after spending a brief time with another real estate firm was ERA Justin Realty. Being part of our many communities, with friends, family and all those who know me, I look forward to serving them in their real estate needs. I’m also excited to introduce myself to those buyers and sellers I've not yet met and achieve their needs and goals. ERA Justin Realty will make that process much easier for me.

ERA Justin Realty Report, "When the Brood leaves the Nest"

June Incorvaia has been a Realtor for many years with ERA Justin Realty and previously remembered from Van Winkle and Liggett also of Rutherford. Serving hundreds of families, she accomplished purchases and sales for families and now doing transactions for the children and grandchildren of those families. Here she offers information about the "When the brood leaves the nest."

                        ERA Justin Realty Report, "When the Brood leaves the Nest"

“If you’re an empty nester, or about to become one, you’ve got lots of company. The number of baby boomers age 65 and over is expected to increase nearly 80 percent over the next two decades. Shifts in the age distribution of our population continues to result in a growing number of Baby Boomers moving to accommodations that better suit their needs,” according to ERA Justin Realtor, June Incorvaia.

Continuing, June said, “Today’s empty nester is not the sedentary retiree of yesteryear. Senior home buyers may stay in or near the same community after they retire. Many people continue to work much later in life, perhaps in an entirely new career or as a full-time volunteer who serves their community and very often as Realtors serving the needs of their community.

A major decision you are probably facing is determining exactly what you would like your next living arrangement to be. Unlike generations in days past, today it is nearly impossible to describe a “typical” empty nester’s home. Much depends on your individual lifestyle, family situation and other personal preferences.

New living options marketed to meet a diversity of lifestyles are continually appearing on the marketplace. Translating your choices of amenities, location, ease of maintenance, architectural style, etc. into the selection of your next home can be a interesting experience. Working with one of our Realtors who listens to your needs and understands the market can help shorten your search for the home that is right for you."

Jennifer Darby, ERA Justin Broker Co-owner added, "Choosing the right Realtor professional can also pay dividends when selling your current home. At the same time, younger families are seeking to move up and out to possible larger homes and apartments offered by empty nesters. The ERA^® Sellers Security^® Plan has been designed for empty nesters and others who wish to remove the anxiety from the process of selling their home. The Sellers Security^® Plan guarantees that your home will sell at a pre-determined price within 180 days of listing your home. Simply put, If we don’t sell your house, ERA will buy it^®.”

“The Sellers Security^® Plan is a guaranteed sale plan offered in all 50 states. An attractive feature of Sellers Security is the ERA^®  Marketing Plan, which covers all the bases for sale, by maximizing the marketability and sales potential of your home.  There are details and conditions that June would be pleased to review with those interested.  Simply contact her for full and details and conditions that apply."

ERA Justin Realty proudly received the prestigious ERA worldwide 2003-2011 ‘Commitment to Excellence Award’, selected from approximately 30,000 ERA brokers and agents throughout the ERA nation.

Allyson Kubs was welcomed by the Realtor team at ERA Justin Realty when she joined the firm. With her property management background from her own properties, her focus will be on single and multi-family properties for first-time and repeat buyers and sellers

 

Allyson Kubs Makes ERA Justin Realty Her Realtor of Choice

Allyson Kubs is active in community participation. Area residents recognize her through her activities. Many people over the years know Allyson, recognize her, and trust her.

Allyson said, "Growing up, I was a lifeguard for years and gave over a hundred children swim lessons, and babysat for many families, including those of developmentally disabled children. When at my parents house even now, if I walk down the street it is almost guaranteed I will run into someone I know who will likely strike up a conversation about their children, family, life, and sometimes, their houses and plans to buy or sell in Bergen County."

Broker Ron Darby stated, “We all welcome Allyson in joining our team of sales professionals.  Her background also includes being an emergency room nurse.”

 Allyson added, "I have to be thinking constantly as a nurse. It's important to have a positive attitude, and I have to get people to trust me when the stakes are high after only a very short first impression.  And as unrelated as the two fields seem, I have to carry those traits to real estate to succeed and excel in my real career.  My background also includes experience in property management, developing applications and leases, enforcing lease terms, and ensuring great tenants.  As a person, I am not satisfied until I complete the job at hand.  In my spare time I volunteer for the ambulance corps in Washington Township, and have been a member since 2005.  For fun, I enjoy camping, water sports, and being outdoors.  I have been skydiving 3 times.”

Allyson joined the team at ERA Justin Realty because of their success as a real estate market leader for 62 years.   She is a long term resident of Bergen County with in-depth knowledge of the features and benefits that each municipality has to offer, and will use that knowledge to exceed buyer and seller expectations.  Through the firm’s strong team, experience, and expertise, she has the confidence to serve the real estate needs of the area successfully.

Ron continued, “We are pleased to have Allyson join us. She attended an accredited New Jersey licensing school, passed her state examination and will follow our teachings closely, which is based on customer service and listening.  Her personal designations include Realtor, a member of the National Association of Realtors, New Jersey Association of Realtors, member of RealSource Association of Realtors and New Jersey Multiple Listing Service.  She also supports the Hackensack University Medical Center and was awarded for excellence in emergency medicine.  She has been a member of many community organizations and has volunteered as an EMT in Washington Township, Emerson, and Paramus.

“There is a difference in real estate companies,” he added. “Attending on-going advanced training, seminars, round-table discussions with industry leaders and focus groups are what we continually do at our firm, much more than many other area real estate firms.  We believe that in order to exceed sellers’ expectations of what a real estate agent is about, we don’t teach just the basics.  We want them to learn, know and teach much more than are ever expected of them.  In that way, we know that our sellers and buyers will hold us in the highest regard. This is the background that will aid Allyson in her real estate career.”
