Danny Simone, Smart Updating Your House in 2017

Danny Simone, Smart Updating Your House in 2017

Keeping your home updated is sound advice. By making improvements along the way, you'll get the benefit when it's time to sell.

According to Danny Simone, ERA Justin Realtor agent, “If you don't want to end up with the current equivalent of avocado appliances and brown shag carpet, you'll need to choose wisely. Kitchen and bath improvements can be expensive, so home buyers may want to deduct that cost if your home seems outdated. So, think in practical terms when investing your improvement dollars. Go for a timeless, classic design when choosing major items and, if in doubt, think simplicity. Quality granite, ceramic tile and white fixtures will never go out of style.  You can then add accents that are easily changed out without breaking the bank. Prioritize your requirements and wishes to get an individualized look without being too trendy. When it's time to sell, you'll know you've made the right decisions and so will your grateful buyer.”

 Lee Schilare, Danny's business partner added,  “We ask Buyers and Sellers to compare. We believe that in order to exceed expectations of what our Realtor agents are about, we try to be as comprehensive as possible, continuing since 1950. In that way, we know that our buyers and sellers will hold us all in the highest regard.”

ERA Justin Realty has proudly received prestigious ERA world-wide ‘Commitment to Excellence Awards’ and all across the nation, 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. For these reasons ERA Justin Realty should be your buying and selling Realtor of choice.

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.

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.

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 who are pictured and others, Glenn Elliot, Michelle Korosy, Jennifer Darby Metzger, Lee Schilare, Danny Simone and Ron Darby. All were recently invited to attend the MDA VIP Summer Camp day to be with the kids.

Ron Darby, Broker Co-owner and ERA MDA Chairman 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 over 30 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 $25,000.

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.
