ERA Justin Carol D. Calamari and Fara Espandi

Leadership Circle Top Producers for 2014

ERA Justin Realty’s Carol D. Calamari and Fara Espandi succeeded each challenge during 2014 and achieved top positions within the firm. They achieved #1 position in the firm’s Leadership Circle for sales, listings and other business model responsibilities. To be successful, these sales professionals know what makes for a successful sale and advise that smart sellers should think like buyers to attract attention to their individual listings. The firm boasts many other Realtor agents who were very close to top production status. Team effort brings success to them all.

Jennifer Darby, broker owner said, “There are plenty of homebuyers intent on buying while they can still lock in an inviting low mortgage rate. The 2015 housing market should present good opportunities for sellers who understand how to maximize profit in this more balanced selling environment.”

Carol added, “Listings attract much attention when they're new on the market. To maximize your opportunities, your home not only needs to be priced right and properly prepared for sale, you also need a comprehensive marketing plan. You want to make sure that information about your listing reaches as many potential buyers as possible. Our ERA Justin Realtor agents are proactive in advising potential sellers with comprehensive information. We will provide you with a strong marketing plan that will be used to promote your house, as well as strong Internet exposure on dozens of websites and full page advertisements in The South Bergenite. As reported, approximately 85 percent of today's homebuyers start their home search on the Internet.” 

Fara continued,  “A listing on the Internet isn't enough, though. Buyers don't look at listings that don't have photos. You can gain an edge on the competition with the many photos and a video tour of your home that we create and are on the Internet as soon as your home is opened to the market. For these reasons, we've received reviews from nearly 800 buyers and sellers who had a wonderful experience with us and decided to list or buy with our Realtor agents who represented them in a transaction.”

Jennifer concluded, “Your aim is to sell for the highest price possible, but at a realistic price dictated by a market appraisal when financing is being obtained. Don't list for less than a price you can accept. But, keep in mind that overpriced listings won't sell or appraise. Your house is in daily competition with many similar houses on the market at any given time. Our congratulations to both Carol and Fara for their outstanding production, hard work and their positive outlook for our 2015 real estate market. They both know the secrets to real estate success and will be pleased to bring that success to your transaction.

Our ERA Justin Realtor agents will be able to advise you about an effective list price for your home.  We offer our Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), a comprehensive study of your house in comparison with others that are on the market, that have sold, that have expired, as well as the upcoming spring 2015 market update.  It’s offered at no cost or obligation simply by phoning our office.”

                                                                    ERA Justin Realty Tips: 

                                                   Narrowing Your Home Buying Search in 2015

                         

Looking back with ERA Justin Realty having generated multi-thousands of home purchases and sales since 1950 and today new generations are entering the market wanting to buy their first home.  ERA Justin Realty, a leading realty firm serving the many communities of Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Essex Counties has sold multi-thousands of homes to first time homebuyers since their opening in 1950.  Seeing shifts in the industry from sellers markets to buyers markets as well as varied shifts in mortgage interest rates, historically their buyers have enjoyed both the benefits of home ownership as well as value appreciation over the years.  Since their early beginnings, the firm has since served referrals of the children and grandchildren of their original purchasers.

ERA Justin Realtor salesperson, Carol Calamari stated, “It is now 2015 and if you are contemplating the purchase of your first home, congratulations! As you probably know, buying a home is one of the biggest financial commitments you can make. It is also a process filled with excitement, and a touch of anxiety. To help keep you sleeping soundly, here are answers to three big questions that may concern potential first-time home buyers.

Question #1: How do you decide what to look for in a home?  It’s easier than you think. List what’s important to you in a home. The purchase of every home involves making tradeoffs, so be sure to prioritize your list.  One element is architectural style. Do you prefer a Colonial, a Cape Cod, a Ranch style or a modern look? An important factor to consider is living space. How much room do you need right now and to meet anticipated needs?  Make a list of features that must be a part of your home. Perhaps that Olympic-size pool and tennis court can be put off for another day, but you may absolutely need an eat-in kitchen now.  It’s all a matter of your taste and personal style.

Question #2: Where should you begin your search?  That old real estate adage about location, location, location aside, choosing where to live is usually determined by your personal circumstances and desires.  Do you have a particular community or even a particular block, in mind?  What is it about the location of your new home that is most important to you?  Do you prefer a city, suburban or rural setting? Consider proximity to work, schools, shopping, entertainment and houses of worship. Once you’ve narrowed your list of potential candidates, the Internet is an excellent tool for learning what a particular community has to offer. Our ERA Justin Realty two winning search websites with a click or two and you will see our Featured Homes and 1,000's of Multiple Listing offerings at www.ERAJustin.com and www.ERAJustinRealty.com.

Question #3: How can you find financing that makes sense for you? Many homes are affordable with many motivated sellers for our qualified buyers. Interest rates are lower than we’ve seen in decades. Innovative financing plans are available to fit a broad range of needs.

Still, the last thing you want to do is start out in your first home saddled with an uncomfortable level of debt. Seeking the advice of one of or Realtor salesperson professionals can give you the financing options that match your qualifications and a big step in the right direction. We can also provide several mortgage lenders who can assist in providing a no cost mortgage preapproval for you. We want you to always have an intelligent direction with your purchase.

Once you’ve narrowed your search, talk to one of our ERA Justin Realty salespersons who serves the community you'd like to call home. ERA Justin Realty salespersons are trained to guide you through your purchase every step of the way. Our listings details are current, moment by moment bringing up-to-date listings directly to you, and we will suggest mortgage lenders who will offer loan programs expressly designed to meet the needs of qualified first-time homebuyers.

The path to finding your first home can be easy with our assistance. Once you have the answers to the your questions, the search can be fulfilling, and even fun!”
