ERA Justin Realty Edge Before Winter Home Selling

 ERA Justin Realty Edge Before Winter Home Selling

"As the leaves begins to fall and the weather gets colder, homeowners often shudder at the thought of selling their home in the Winter, out of concern that there will be fewer buyers, their home will look less attractive and will command a lower selling price than during the Autumn. This can be substantial thought.  Following are the 4 most common myths as well as the truth about selling a home now or during Winter," stated Morgan DePalma an ERA Justin Realtor sales agent.

DePalma continued, "Myth #1 If I wait until Winter into next Spring to sell my house there will be more buyers and more competition for my home that I put up for sale.

Truth: There really is less consideration of  markets anymore, since many markets are interest rate driven. Interest rates are currently low and that is what motivates many buyers seeking their new home now with closing prior to the Christmas holidays.

You'll likely get more foot traffic through your home in the Autumn. In the winter you may have fewer showings, but many tend to be serious and qualified buyers because fewer people like to spend an afternoon browsing through homes when the weather is cold, rainy or snowy.  You still have an extra advantage with Autumn showings.

Myth #2 My house will sell for a higher price next Spring since the economy has been improving, I'll wait to get an even higher price for my house in 2016.

Truth: The current home prices of 2015 may not continue to escalate in 2016. No one can forecast ahead. We know what the economy is like now. With political worldwide uncertainties, there is no way to predict what lies ahead in the Spring of 2016. A significant benefit of Autumn into Winter home selling is that there is less inventory at this time of year, which translates into less competition amongst listings on the market. Remember, it only takes one buyer to purchase a house, and sellers establish the price that they want. Houses that are well priced, decorated, updated and in move-in condition always move rapidly.


Myth #3 My house will look better next Spring when the trees have leaves and the flowers are blooming.

Truth: Remember, the playing field is level in this Autumn season when you choose to sell your home. In the Spring, everyone's house has blooming flowers and trees. Do not discount the benefits of Autumn selling. Autumn decorations, Thanksgiving and the wonderful aroma of food, roaring fires in the fireplace and scented candles are very attractive to buyers.

Myth #4 Since I need to move in the Winter, I will wait until then to sell my house.

Truth: Home sellers with flexibility in Autumn can sell and set a closing date in Winter, which can benefit both the seller and the buyer. The seller, knowing that their house is sold, can go and buy a new house, with less pressure. The buyer may benefit by having the necessary time to sell their old house."

Sellers interested in learning more about selling their home in the late Fall/Winter can contact the ERA Justin Realty sales professionals at both of their Rutherford office locations at 118 Jackson Avenue and 57 Park Avenue, for a no obligation Customer Analysis Report.  A written report that provides the market value of a house, those houses that have sold, market trends and other information that will aid a seller in properly pricing their house is available for the asking.  Phone the ERA Justin Realty team at (201) 939-7500, (201) 438-0588 or (201) 438-SOLD.  ERA Justin Realty is a “Top 100” ERA real estate firm worldwide and they have received the prestigious “Commitment to Excellence Award” for service to their sellers, their buyers and the communities they serve.

                       ERA JUSTIN REALTY OFFERS SUCCESSFUL CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

“Are you in a career where you help others achieve their career goals? We are!” According to Ron Darby and Jennifer Darby Metzger, broker owners of ERA Justin Realty, an award winning local company, “Real estate agents help buyers and sellers achieve their goals every day and we do the same for agents who join our firm.”

Darby and Metzger speak from great experience. They have hired, trained and guided agents to great success hundreds of times. Many ERA Justin Realty agents have been with the company for up to 30 years.

“As real estate trends change, technology changes & career needs change. In fact, ERA Justin Realty offers one of the strongest mentor training programs for both new and experienced agents. Real estate moves at such a fast pace we want our agents to be professionally trained so they can be on the cutting edge. We also give our agents the greatest buyer base potential with stronger diverse advertising; full page color advertising of our listings in the South Bergenite, two company websites, exposure on the top real estate websites and on television.This brings an abundance of potential buyers to our agents while giving our sellers more marketing exposure than many other firms. Our ‘Winning Edge Teammate Advantage’ benefit package is exclusive to our company. We proudly have a major market share driven by a superior level of support,” says Metzger.

Darby’s career began as sales manager of K Realty building that brand into a successful 5 office firm with two Rutherford offices, plus offices in Lyndhurst, North Arlington and a South Jersey location serving Stafford Township and Long Beach Island. From the Stafford Township office he was responsible for construction of nearly 200 custom single and multi-family dwellings. He was later encouraged by Justin Tokarski, founder of Justin Realty to form a partnership to duplicate the success he created at K Realty. Darby says, “I had known of Justin’s impeccable real estate reputation as a broker and past mayor of Rutherford. He called me asking for a meeting. We agreed that I join him, and the rest is history. Now thirty-five years later, ERA Justin Realty is a ‘Top-100’ ERA firm worldwide and is the recipient of the ‘ERA Commitment to Excellence’ award. For these reasons, agents both newly licensed and experienced who join us have the potential to begin strong earnings immediately.”

Metzger, after graduating from college with a degree in Earth and Space Science Education to become a high school science teacher, decided to join the family business as a real estate professional. After 3 successful years as a Realtor, she went back to school to further her real estate knowledge and became a Real Estate Broker. Trying to combine her original love of teaching with her real estate knowledge, she once again returned to the classroom and obtained her Real Estate Teaching Certificate, which gives her the ability to teach real estate as a state instructor at a school or university. She was honored as the 2013 Realtor of the Year at the RealSource Board of Realtors from approximately 3,000 members. Metzger's experience in sales has made her a natural leader of the company. Almost 20 years as an agent herself allows her to coach her agents to success. "True love for this business has defined our business culture. We have surrounded ourselves with energetic people who share that love and it has been the key to our success. We have fun together as we work to help people accomplish their real estate goals. New and seasoned agents are attracted to our agency for the energy we share as a team. We are also a team of 'learners', learning from each other and those in the industry that are on the cutting edge. We strive to provide the most up-to-date technology and service as well as be the best educated in the business," added Metzger.

Continuing, Darby said, “Credit for our company success also goes to our exceptional staff of agents, who exceed customer expectations daily. We are thrilled to have a publication of over 700 reviews. One is an honor but over 700 has become a tradition, an honor above all honors. Proudly we are the #1 office in closed Rutherford transactions for 14 consecutive years, and we are working on 15!”
