 ERA JUSTIN REALTY OFFERS NATIONWIDE RELOCATION SERVICES

Michelle Korosy and Adrian Tridel, a Leadership Circle sales team with ERA-Justin Realty shares the firm’s relocation services with North Jersey Newspapers readers.  “In today's real estate market, nearly half of all homebuyers relocate from out of town. Whether moving across the country or just across the state, relocating to a new community can be a unique experience for everyone in a family. With corporate transfers, company down sizing and moves to meet family needs on the rise, relocation services have expanded their scope.” 

Michelle stated, “ERA-Justin Realty created a market niche for itself as a relocation specialist, when ERA Real Estate was the only company to electronically transfer listings to relocating buyers and sellers as part of the ERA national network. Since then the Internet connecting all ERA Real Estate firms globally continues to link and make buyer and seller relocation a seamless procedure.

Adrian added, "This type of cutting edge technology helped to establish and maintain the company's reputation as a technology leader in the real estate industry. Today, ERA-Justin Realty, a top-100 ERA firm continues to serve the needs of transferees by training its sales agents on how to best serve this special market and direct relocations for their clients, in conjunction with extensive home buying information on their 1000's of homes websites, www.ERAJustin.com andwww.ERAJustinRealty.com."

To help buyers who are relocating determine the general area in which they would like to live, ERA's  national website, www.ERA.com  features multi-thousands of home listings and allows users to research detailed information about those communities. Buyers can learn about the styles of homes in an area and how much house their money can buy in different neighborhoods. "Finding a highly qualified, knowledgeable, local Realtor who knows the area can simplify the process of relocating, and having staff that lives in the area and knows the nuances of the community is very important. We will gladly refer you to the right ERA agent and ERA company at your destination location. 

Our agent professionals begin by interviewing transferees about the community from which they are moving in order to find out what they liked best about that community and what qualities they value, so that we can recommend a community which encompasses these qualities," Michelle added.

Working with both incoming buyers and local corporations in need of relocation services for their employees, corporations like the products that a quality and full-service real estate company like ERA-Justin Realty has to offer, coupled with their high level of customer service, which they, as an independently owned and operated company can provide. Many home sellers, recognizing the benefits that ERA Justin Realty has to offer in relocation services list their homes with the firm for greater showing exposure. They like the fact that their home with many color photos, videos and details are exposed worldwide through many Internet sites.

ERA Justin Realty Shows How To Save More Than Energy: The Cost-Efficient Home

 ERA Justin Realty Shows How To Save More Than Energy: The Cost-Efficient Home

The energy-efficient home is moving from the horizons of futuristic planners to the agenda of current homeowners, another in a series of articles from ERA Justin Realty, the company that shows their Buyers and Sellers, “There is a difference in real estate companies.”

Libra 'Lee' Schilare and Danny Simone a leading real estate team with the firm, offered, “It’s not so much a matter of newer technologies, though alternate energy sources like solar and geothermal are making considerable inroads in the modern home. It’s more a matter of improvements on very familiar furnishings and appliances.   Simply put, these options save by losing less.

It may be well worth it to give your home an efficiency upgrade. First, what needs fixing. To identify problem areas, contact a qualified professional and get an energy audit of your home. Some upgrades are simple and less expensive. For example, one common problem is insulation. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that proper ceiling insulation alone can reduce your heating bill by as much as 20 percent. Other energy draining can be solved by replacing old fixtures with more modern and efficient models. Windows, doors and skylights equipped with sealed double or triple panes also reduce heating and cooling costs, and are features for which utility companies often offer rebates. 

The EPA notes that air leakage from gaps in your home’s structure, holes for plumbing and wiring, for instance, accounts for 25 to 40 percent of the energy a common home uses for heating and cooling. Similar troubles come from inadequately sealed duct joints and otherwise inefficient, older heating and cooling systems. All can be repaired or replaced.

Even conventional systems such as ventilation can release enough heat from your home to cost a fortune in unnecessary bills. Upgrading these systems can pay for itself, and later pay off as an attractive resale value when possible buyers of your home want to benefit from this form of savings. 

And when you’re ready to go from finding the problem to fixing it, the government doesn’t just supply the bad news, it provides some solutions, as well. The EPA’s Energy Star rating has appeared on numerous products, identifying efficient appliances and other home furnishings that enable vast savings. Energy Star central air conditioners can save possibly 20 percent on cooling bills. 

Studies have shown the resale advantages of homes with lower energy costs. Look for such solutions, and buyers will be more likely to look into your home. Your utility bills, Energy Star fact sheets and other documentation can be attractive proof to present to prospective buyers.

In the short term, you can save on some of these improvements even as they may enhance your home’s value. In addition to offering expert advice and home-selling solutions, real estate brands such as ERA Real Estate, feature the Select Services network of national and local vendors with leading household products.

Consult an ERA Justin Realtor agent on how to navigate the options and opportunities available for the energy-conscious homeowner. Your investment in the future can have many returns right in the present.”

Lee continued, “We are pleased to offer our ongoing consumer articles in North Jersey Newspapers. Truly, there is a difference in real estate companies, and our articles and our ERA Home Protection Plans are additional examples. 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.”

The most sought award that can be achieved in business is the ‘J.D. Power & Associates’ award.  Only outstanding business entities are honored and receive it.  ERA Real Estate was the recipient of ‘Highest Satisfaction for First Time Home Buyers Among Full Service Real Estate Firms.’ Award.
