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. ERA Justin Realty shows their buyers and sellers; there is a difference in real estate companies, a Realtor of choice since 1950.

Michelle Korosy, a Realtor salesperson with the firm, offered, “Summer is a perfect time to explore cost efficient areas before we approach cooler weather. First, you’ll want to figure out 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 panes also reduce heating and cooling costs, and are features for which utility companies may 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.

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, agencies don't just supply the news, it may provide some solutions, as well. The EPA’s Energy Star rating appears on numerous products, identifying efficient appliances and other home furnishings that enable vast savings. Energy Star central air conditioners may save approximately 20 percent on cooling bills. 

Studies have shown the resale advantages of homes with lower energy costs. Look for such solutions. 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 help enhance your home’s value. In addition to offering expert advice and home-selling solutions, real estate brands such as ERA Justin Realty, feature the Select Services network of national and local vendors with leading household products.

ERA-JUSTIN ACHIEVERS POINT WAY TO SUMMER SALES



Lawns greening and ERA Justin Realty with strong real estate listings and sales. A time when families focus on real estate, but the first question asked is, “How do I price my house?”

Ask ERA Justin Realty first quarter 2017 award achievers Glenn Elliot, Ilene Harpuder, Kristen Davis, Carol D. Calamari and Fara Espandi and the answer you'll hear is realistically. These Leadership Circle achievers will provide a complimentary Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) so you'll have the answers to your real estate questions. 

"Thinking of selling your home and want to know how much it may sell for, then contact us and request a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to determine its fair market value,” recommends both Fara and Glenn.

“Fair market value is the highest price an informed buyer will pay.  An asking price is the advertised price of a house when it goes on the market and may be higher than the fair market value assuming that some negotiation will be necessary to reach an agreement with a buyer,” added Carol and Ilene.

Kristen added, “To get an estimate of fair market value, a homeowner can call our sales team, provided free of charge without obligation.”

Broker co-owner Jennifer Darby Metzger said, "In conducting a CMA, our sales professionals have access to a wide array of information, such as databases with recent listing and selling prices of similar homes, and how long they took to sell. The analysis can help a homeowner understand what today's markets mean for his or her home, and will provide a realistic fair market value.  Our sales professionals will use the CMA to help establish a selling marketing program. The CMA is helpful in determining the true value of a house and the right asking price. In the end, however, the homeowner should decide on a price that he or she feels is competitive and consistent with the price at which other houses in the area have sold.” 

Ron Darby, broker co-owner concluded, “Our CMA report is comprehensive in all aspects.  Complete with color photos and detailed information, it makes pricing easier for those planning a sale. There is a difference in real estate companies, and our details will make the difference. We believe that in order to exceed expectations of what ERA Justin Realty is about, we don’t offer just real estate basics, we are as comprehensive as possible.  In that way, we know that our buyers and sellers will hold us all in the highest regard.  Proof of our abilities for our clients and customers shows in these fine award achievers, honored during the first quarter of 2017 for their production.”

ERA JUSTIN REALTY OFFERS RELOCATION SERVICES




Rosemarie Zembryski, a sales professional with ERA-Justin Realty shares the firm’s relocation services with North Jersey Newspapersreaders, published by USA Today. “In today's real estate market, a large portion of homebuyers relocate from out of town. Whether moving across the country or just across the state, relocating to a new community can be a new 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 dramatically at ERA Justin Realty.”

"ERA-Justin Realty early-on created a market niche for itself as a relocation specialist, when it was the only company to electronically transfer listings to relocating buyers, as part of the ERA national network" according to Rosemarie.



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, based on the newest technologies, ERA-Justin Realty continues to serve the needs of transferees by training its agents on how to best serve this special market and direct relocations for their sellers who are transferring from our market areas to other areas of the nation.

To help buyers who are relocating determine the general area in which they would like to live, ERA's national website features multi-thousands of home listings and allows users to research detailed information about communities, schools, housing and more through its many features. 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, ERA Justin Realtor agent 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," according to Rosemarie.

"Our agents 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 we can recommend a community which encompasses these qualities. Working with both incoming buyers and local corporations in need of relocation services for their employees, they like the products that a large real estate company like ERA-Justin Realty has to offer, coupled with our high level of customer service,” she added.



Ron Darby broker co-owner said, “All across the nation, the most coveted award that can be achieved in business is the ‘J.D. Power & Associates’ award. Only outstanding business entities are honored to receive this award. ERA Real Estate was the past recipient for customer satisfaction for first time home buyers. This was an honor above all honors. We continue to be proud as part of this achievement. Our team of sales agents exceed buyer expectations, and through their daily efforts this prestigious award has a home at our firm.
