ERA Justin Realtors Send Youngsters to MDA Summer Camp

ERA Justin Realtors Send Youngsters to MDA Summer Camp

Since 1955, MDA has built bridges and knocked down barriers for youngsters with neuromuscular diseases by providing an unforgettable week at MDA summer camp, in part this summer through the efforts of the ERA Justin Realty teammates, pictured, Lee Schilare, MDA coordinator Cathy Vick and Jennifer Sofia.  All were recently invited to attend the MDA VIP Summer Camp day to be with the kids.

Ron Darby and Jennifer Darby Metzger Broker Co-owners and ERA MDA Chairpersons for New Jersey for sixteen years said, “It has been the focus of our entire staff of agents to raise tax deductible donations to send as many children to MDA summer camp as possible. We reached out to all of the business firms and individuals we transact business with throughout the year to send in their donations large and small.  Donations were pooled in an effort to send children to the  MDA summer camp for a week.  In the past we had focused on raising funds for MDA research, but we now focus to give these children an immediate positive experience.  Due to the untiring efforts of our staff and those who donated, the MDA youngsters are enjoying a week in the country in a structured environment to fit their abilities.

Our ERA Justin Realty team of 40 never stopped until our summer goal for our MDA youngsters was met. Additionally, we chair the ERA Brokers of  NJ fundraising. In total, by year end we hope to achieve collective totals approaching $30,000.

Each year MDA supports nearly 90 summer camps across the country. Whether in Alaska or Hawaii, in California or New Jersey, at MDA camp barriers simply don’t exist. A child with a disability can just be a child among friends. MDA camp is a magical place offering a wide range of activities specially designed for young people who have limited mobility or use wheelchairs. MDA camp programs, although structured, are conducted in a relaxed atmosphere that gives campers an unmatched opportunity to develop lifelong friendships, share interests and build self-confidence. Activities range from outdoor sports such as swimming, boating, baseball and horseback riding to less physically demanding programs like arts and crafts and talent shows. Thousands of youngsters attend MDA camp each year at no cost to their families.

Be a volunteer or a sponsor by sending your tax deductible check made payable to MDA and mail it to MDA c/o ERA Justin Realty Co., 118 Jackson Avenue, Rutherford, New Jersey 07070.  The firm is now continuing their MDA Summer Camp fundraising activities, preparing for next year.  If you have questions on this great program for the kids, call us at (201) 939-7500.

JENNIFER DARBY METZGER OF ERA JUSTIN REALTY ATTENDS
 2016 ERA® YOUNG LEADERS NETWORK
Summer Summit Prepares Future Real Estate Leaders
 
Jennifer Darby Metzger of ERA Justin Realty  recently attended ERA Real Estate’s 2016 Young Leaders Network Summer Summit, an elite educational event hosted in Birmingham, Alabama by ERA King Real Estate.  Attendees represented many of the most successful ERA organizations nationwide.
 
Over the three-day long event, Metzger and the other 20+ Young Leaders participated in team-building and motivational exercises focused on succession planning, growth and leveraging cutting-edge tools. Each attendee was personally selected for this exclusive networking opportunity by ERA’s senior leadership team, whose decision was based in large part on the management abilities each member has demonstrated at their respective companies.
 
Metzger was chosen as a member of the Young Leaders Network for her professional achievements. "The Summer Summit provided the opportunity for the group of us to absorb insight from and ask questions of some of the top professionals in the ERA network," Metzger said. "We talked about everything from market expansion and the latest in ERA’s resources to creating agent value and I look forward to adopting our collective learnings in our New Jersey market."
 
“This year’s Young Leader’s Network Summer Summit marked our fifth annual gathering, and the amount of knowledge sharing and collaboration that took place was incredible,” said Sue Yannaccone, chief operating officer, ERA Franchise Systems. “Our Young Leaders are eager to keep the real estate industry moving forward, and we at ERA are proud to offer these opportunities for them to continue to do so.”
The Young Leader’s Network was launched in 2012 as a way for ERA Real Estate to bring together ERA professionals showing highly-engaged and collaborative characteristics early in their careers, in an effort to further develop their leadership skills. The members are mostly made up of Gen Y or millennials who leverage this supportive community to discuss overcoming challenges and formulating business solutions.
 
“We firmly believe in acting as partners for our young professionals, to help them grow and develop into the next generation of industry and ERA leaders,” said Everett King, broker/owner of ERA King Real Estate. “We were proud to be chosen as the hosts of the fifth annual Summer Summit and thoroughly enjoyed the discussion around real estate’s future that took place.”
 
Metzger continued, we are proud that ERA Justin Realty is an innovative leader in the  real estate industry since 1950 with experience in developing consumer-oriented products and services. The ERA network includes approximately 37,000 affiliated brokers and independent sales associates and 2,350 offices throughout the United States and 33 countries and territories. Each office is independently owned and operated.
ERA Justin is proud of its culture as a company that has allowed it to flourish for 65 years and has never wavered from the vision of "Just Do the Right Thing." Throughout the decades, ERA Justin Realty has been able to outperform its markets by operating as an agent support business, empowering its team members to bring personalized and professional service to the community. Under the leadership of Ron Darby and Jennifer Darby Metzger the firm is a consistent leader in a competitive market, leveraging savvy lead management systems to fuel agent productivity and support recruiting and retention. Concluding, Metzger said, We thank ERA King Realty Real Estate for being a perfect host, as their philosophy and ours parallels each other so closely.
 
“There is a difference in real estate companies,” said Metzger.  “Attending on-going advanced training, seminars, round-table discussions with industry leaders and focus groups is what we continually do at our firm, much more than many other area real estate firms.  We believe, in order to exceed expectations of what a real estate firm 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.  To prove that, our buyers and sellers have put their reviews in writing. We have on file for the asking, ‘What people are saying’ our report of nearly 800 reviews. No other area real estate firm can offer that.  We are proud.
 
For decades ERA Justin Realty has been honored as a ‘Top-100’ ERA firm worldwide and has been 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. Speak with any of our agents, phone us or view our websites at www.ERAJustin.com and www.ERAJustinRealty.com."
