ERA Justin Realty Report: Autumn Selling? Ready, Get Set, Toss

ERA Justin Realty Report:  Autumn Selling? Ready, Get Set, Toss

 

ERA Justin Realtor Agent Lee Schilare with her teammate Danny Simone offers tips with a smile in getting those closets ready for the sale of your house. “For many, we hardly want to think about closets, but the day is nearing, hour by hour. When your Realtor Agent arranges for an open house or appointment you will no doubt make sure everything is tidy and clean. The dishes are put away, beds made, litter box cleaned. But, what about your closets?   Storage is a number one priority with home buyers. They want to make sure they have a place to put their stuff. Will your closets prove to be a selling point?

Ready? Here's how it goes. You get a phone call. Friends are dropping by for a few minutes, so you toss everything into the closet - toys, coats and whatever. When your guests leave, you swear you will get to it tomorrow. Sometimes, tomorrow never comes. After a while, it becomes hard to close the door and you do not remember what is in there. It is now time to de-clutter and de-stress.

 It is not going to go away by itself, so take time to tackle it head on and get organized. Allow lots of time for this task. You probably won't be able to get through it in a day or even a weekend. Remember, it took you a long time to accumulate these items. You cannot expect to clean them all out in a few hours. You might want to tackle this chore in chunks of time, allowing a few weekends to get totally through the process."

You will find yourself thinking through many decisions. The rule is, if you haven't worn it for 2 years, toss it. If it is a gift that Aunt Emma gave you 5 years ago and something you will never use, get rid of it. "Just don't tell Aunt Emma," added Danny with a grin. "Pretend you are moving to smaller quarters, and you can only take the things you truly love. If you are having trouble, enlist the help of a friend who can be relentless."

Lee suggested, "Begin with clothing and shoes. Most of us keep favorites around far too long. I'm sure I can get back into that dress soon. It only takes up valuable space in your home. Donate it to a charity. There is someone out there who will put your items to good use."

 

Danny added, "Think about your lifestyle as you are making these choices. Maybe your former employment was in an office and you needed to wear suits every day. Your current employment is a more casual job and your attire now reflects this attitude. Keep your favorite two suits and take the others to a second hand store or give them away. Retain clothing that works for your current way of living, not how you used to live.

 

Place everything in piles: (1) Keepers; (2) Maybes or Yard Sale; and (3) Donations. It might also help to obtain some of the organized storage available for closets. These are especially useful for those small items such as ties and belts. Everything will be neater and you will be able to find things quicker."

Jennifer Darby Metzger, Broker Co-owner said, "Toys and seasonal items are a little more difficult. If the kids have outgrown those old skates, pass them down to a friend. Holiday decorations can tug at your heartstrings, but if they are broken or no longer hold their luster, out they should go.  If you cannot bear to part with them, pack them in a storage box. By the time the de-cluttering is finished you should have room left over. Books, toys and clothing that are going to a charity should be boxed up or placed in plastic bags. If you are considering a yard sale, try to tag as you go along.

When you start sorting through paperwork, promise yourself to handle each piece only once. Papers that belong to other family members should be sorted and then handed over to that individual. Control newspaper and magazine pile-up by vowing to discard each issue by the time the next one arrives. On Sunday, Saturday's paper goes out whether or not it has been read. The same thing goes for magazines. Some offices or charities are happy to have them, especially hospital waiting rooms. As for regular bills, they can be organized with a portable file box.” “There is a difference in real estate companies,” Lee continued, “Presenting consumer information, we believe, is in order to exceed sellers expectations of what ERA Justin Realty is about, as we don’t offer just the basics.    In that way, we know that our sellers will hold us in the highest regard.  Our sellers have put their thoughts in writing. We have on file for the asking, ‘What people are saying’ our report of nearly 800 quotes and reviews from our sellers and buyers.  No other area real estate firm can offer that.  Are we proud?  Absolutely!”

Daniel Danny Simone and Libra Lee Schilare  Expand
Investment Division at ERA Justin Realty

 

Jennifer Darby Metzger and Ron Darby Broker Co-owners of  ERA Justin Realty in conjunction with Danny Simone and Lee Schilare are expanding the company's investment division.  Both coming from a strong listing and sales background at Century-21 Eudan Realty as a team, Simone said, "We are eager to continue our ever-growing career with ERA Justin Realty and expand the investment division with my business partner Lee Schilare."

 

Schilare added, "With twenty plus years of real estate experience, specializing with sellers and buyers, my ability to guide them through the process from beginning to closing is my dedicated process.  We always work to exceed expectations be it a purchase, sale, brand new construction or one of our many investment opportunities."

 

Darby offered, "It is our belief that people do not want to be sold something. What people want is for someone to help guide them to make a well informed decision. As professionals, it is Danny and Lee's purpose to share their knowledge and experience as they continue to expand our investment division. As your trusted Realtor agent, it is their goal to serve you within their excellent partnership team."

 

Metzger added, "There are many types of real estate: Industrial - These are manufacturing buildings and property, as well as warehouses. The buildings can be used for research, production, storage and distribution of goods. This is sometimes considered commercial real estate, even though the zoning, construction and sales are handled differently. Land - This not only includes vacant land but also working farms and ranches. There are several specialties within vacant land, including undeveloped, early development or reuse, subdivision and site assembly. Residential - This includes both new construction and resale homes including condominiums, coops, townhouses, duplexes and vacation homes. Commercial Real Estate - This includes shopping centers and strip malls, hotels and offices plus medical and educational buildings. Apartment buildings are often considered commercial, even though they are used for residences, because they are owned by businesses to produce income." 

 

Continuing, Simone stated, “I am always looking forward to meeting new buyers and sellers and offer my knowledge and work ethic to accomplish their goals. Schilare continued, “My successful business background with strong customer service and my determination to exceed buyer and seller needs prove successful at the completion of each real estate transaction. Danny and I chose to be with ERA Justin Realty because of its sixty-five plus years of success and a professional and welcoming office team.  They are a long time area real estate firm with thousands of satisfied customers and clients."

 

Metzger concluded, "There is a difference in real estate companies. Attending on-going advanced training, seminars, round-table discussions with industry leaders and focus groups are what we continually do at our firm. We believe, in order to exceed seller’s expectations of what a real estate agent 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 buyers and sellers will hold us in the highest regard. Danny and Lee are an important part of this process as we expand our industrial division."

 

ERA Justin Realty  buyers and sellers have put their thoughts of the company in writing. They have on file for review, Real Estate Results In Writing their report of nearly 800 reviews from satisfied sellers and buyers.
