by Jennifer Darby Metzger

Jennifer Darby Metzger and Ron Darby, Broker Co-owners of ERA Justin Realty suggest with real estate trends, careers and technology changes ERA Justin Realty offers one of the strongest mentor training programs for both new and experienced agents in a fast paced real estate industry.

“Are you in a career where you help others achieve their career goals? We are!” According to Ron Darby and Jennifer Darby Metzger, broker owners of ERA Justin Realty, an award winning local company, “Real estate agents help buyers and sellers achieve their goals every day and we do the same for agents who join our firm.”

Darby and Metzger speak from great experience. They have hired, trained and guided agents to great success hundreds of times. Many ERA Justin Realty agents have been with the company for up to 30 years.

“As real estate trends change, technology changes & career needs change. In fact, ERA Justin Realty offers one of the strongest mentor training programs for both new and experienced agents. Real estate moves at such a fast pace we want our agents to be professionally trained so they can be on the cutting edge. We also give our agents the greatest buyer base potential with stronger diverse advertising; full page color advertising of our listings in the South Bergenite, two company websites, exposure on the top real estate websites and on television.This brings an abundance of potential buyers to our agents while giving our sellers more marketing exposure than many other firms. Our ‘Winning Edge Teammate Advantage’ benefit package is exclusive to our company. We proudly have a major market share driven by a superior level of support,” says Metzger.

Darby’s career began as sales manager of K Realty building that brand into a successful 5 office firm with two Rutherford offices, plus offices in Lyndhurst, North Arlington and a South Jersey location serving Stafford Township and Long Beach Island. From the Stafford Township office he was responsible for construction of nearly 200 custom single and multi-family dwellings. He was later encouraged by Justin Tokarski, founder of Justin Realty to form a partnership to duplicate the success he created at K Realty. Darby says, “I had known of Justin’s impeccable real estate reputation as a broker and past mayor of Rutherford. He called me asking for a meeting. We agreed that I join him, and the rest is history. Now thirty-five years later, ERA Justin Realty is a ‘Top-100’ ERA firm worldwide and is 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.”

Metzger, after graduating from college with a degree in Earth and Space Science Education to become a high school science teacher, decided to join the family business as a real estate professional. After 3 successful years as a Realtor, she went back to school to further her real estate knowledge and became a Real Estate Broker. Trying to combine her original love of teaching with her real estate knowledge, she once again returned to the classroom and obtained her Real Estate Teaching Certificate, which gives her the ability to teach real estate as a state instructor at a school or university. She was honored as the 2013 Realtor of the Year at the RealSource Board of Realtors from approximately 3,000 members. Metzger’s experience in sales has made her a natural leader of the company. Almost 20 years as an agent herself allows her to coach her agents to success. “True love for this business has defined our business culture. We have surrounded ourselves with energetic people who share that love and it has been the key to our success. We have fun together as we work to help people accomplish their real estate goals. New and seasoned agents are attracted to our agency for the energy we share as a team. We are also a team of ‘learners’, learning from each other and those in the industry that are on the cutting edge. We strive to provide the most up-to-date technology and service as well as be the best educated in the business,” added Metzger.

Continuing, Darby said, “Credit for our company success also goes to our exceptional staff of agents, who exceed customer expectations daily. We are thrilled to have a publication of over 700 reviews. One is an honor but over 700 has become a tradition, an honor above all honors. Proudly we are the #1 office in closed Rutherford transactions for 14 consecutive years, and we are working on 15!”

JENNIFER DARBY METZGER ATTENDS ERA^® YOUNG LEADERS NETWORK

Summer Summit Prepares Real Estate Leaders

Jennifer Darby Metzger co-owner of ERA Justin Realty in Rutherford, New Jersey recently attended ERA Real Estate’s 4^th Annual Young Leaders Network Summer Summit, an elite educational event hosted in Bozeman, Montana as one of the top-performing brokerages within the ERA Real Estate system.

Over the two-day event, Metzger and other members of the ERA Young Leaders Network participated in team-building and motivational exercises during which they exchanged best practices and proven leadership tactics. 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 gave me and my colleagues the opportunity to network with and learn from the most competitive brokerages in the ERA network,” Metzger said. “I left with fresh, cutting-edge ideas from brokerages across the country that I look forward to adapting to fit our own market.”

“This important event at ERA brought together the next wave of ERA leaders and is a great example of ERA’s collaborative culture,” said Ron Darby broker co-owner.“ It is becoming increasingly important to plan and prepare our leaders of tomorrow globally.”

The Young Leader’s Network was launched in 2012 as a way for ERA Real Estate to bring together ERA Broker/Owner/Managers evidencing highly-engaged and collaborative characteristics earlier in their careers, in an effort to further develop leadership skills. The members are mostly made up of Gen X or Gen Y who leverage this supportive community to discuss overcoming challenges and formulating business solutions.

“We were proud to have been chosen and are honored to have the opportunity to share our leadership styles and management techniques with all of the attending professionals,” said Metzger.

ERA Real Estate is an innovative franchising leader in the residential real estate industry with more than 40 years of experience in developing consumer-oriented products and services. The ERA network includes approximately 32,000 brokers and sales associates and approximately 2,300 offices throughout the United States and 34 countries and territories.

ERA Justin Realty Receives Art from MDA Child

ERA Justin Realty’s Operations Manager, Nona Orlando and award winning Realtor Agent, Cathy Vick share the 2015 award art received for fundraising efforts for Muscular Dystrophy and the kids summer camp program. The art by MDA child Reagan Imhoff will be displayed on the MDA wall in their office. Ron Darby, the MDA ERA fundraising chairman for sixteen years thanked the ERA Justin Realty teammates for their wonderful fundraising work for the kids.

For their efforts as Northern New Jersey’s top fundraising ERA real estate office, Darby informed his teammates that the firm was also inducted into the President’s Club, honors shared only by organizations with year-long focus to the Summer Camp For Kids program and fundraising.

Darby, for sixteen years, is also the ERA New Jersey Chairman for MDA and introduced Jennifer Darby Metzger and Albert Rottini for their efforts in leading the team’s fundraising efforts for the year. The firm continues to spearhead their efforts for MDA in this lifesaving mission again.

Metzger continued,  “ERA Justin Realty and our team of Realtor professionals focused and succeeded in an outstanding fundraising effort in sending area MDA children to summer camp and will spend time at camp with the kids this summer. We spend our efforts working with the kids in their arts and crafts projects, view their games and activities and enjoy their varied conversations.”

Adding, she said, “Each year MDA supports 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. If you’re 16 or older, you’re invited to apply to join the MDA team as a camp volunteer. At most MDA camps, volunteer counselors work one-on-one with campers around the clock, providing the care, close supervision and attention children with neuromuscular diseases need. Counselors push wheelchairs, lift and carry youngsters, and even bunk-down near their campers. But above all, they become a youngster’s friend for a week and sometimes for a lifetime.

By becoming an MDA summer camp sponsor you can provide a local youngster with neuromuscular disease with many special summer memories.  As a sponsor, you will be invited to visit the local MDA camp during the special sponsor VIP Day. You’ll see the joy that your participation in this program creates.”

Darby concluded, “Become a sponsor! Help youngsters with neuromuscular diseases in your community experience a week of fun and friendship they’ll never forget. At MDA camp there’s always a need for volunteer counselors, medical staff, water safety instructors and activity coordinators. 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.

Girls Little League was on its way, teams were formed, the excitement began each season with a parade through Rutherford leading to Memorial Field for their first games and in a blink now several seasons later, great success for many girls teams.”

For our Communities, ERA Justin Realty Partners with Local Farms

by Jennifer Darby Metzger

For our Communities, ERA Justin Realty Partners with Local Farms

Today everyone has very busy lives. Running here and there, driven by the demands of technology and wanting instant communication, gratification, results and fast foods. We at ERA Justin Realty thought it was time to take a deep breath, reflect on quieter times and bring forth our efforts to give back to our communities.

“Our agents wanted to do their share and create a way that our families could eat healthy while helping our friends and neighbors in our communities do the same, said office coordinator, Michelle Korosy.

Jennifer Darby Metzger, broker co-owner added, “We are very proud to create our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) partnership. It’s good for us and our communities!

ERA Justin Realty of Rutherford, New Jersey has partnered with a local farm to bring fresh produce to our local communities. You’ve heard of the benefits of buying local. Now we’re offering a great way to enjoy fruits and vegetables grown right here in New Jersey and have the opportunity to make an investment in these locally grown foods, which in turn helps to keep New Jersey green!”

Michelle Korosy continues to coordinate the Community Supported Agriculture program at ERA Justin Realty, which serves as the pick-up location. CSA programs are run by local farms and involve consumers purchasing a share of the season’s harvest. Once a week for 31 weeks, the farm will drop off bushels of fresh veggies and other to our office.

Korosy and Metzger liked the idea and wanted to bring the farm to Rutherford. With 25 members signed up for this season, Korosy said the program has become so popular they need to turn people away because they simply do not have the space to store the food at their office. By mid-summer, Korosy said the shares are huge. Justin Realty subscribes to Alstede Farms in Chester.

Korosy added, “We at ERA Justin believe in doing our part to help our communities stay healthy. We also are dedicated in helping support our local economy. Money spent with local farmers and growers all stays close to home, working to build our local economy instead of being handed over to a corporation in another city, state, or country. Since the food moves through fewer hands, more of the money you spend tends to get to the people growing it. We are excited and we hope you are too! Here’s to a healthy 2015 season!”

For information on this exciting new path and to learn more details and find answers to your questions, simply go to ERAFresh.org. You may also reach Jennifer Darby Metzger or Michelle Korosy the ERA Fresh CSA’s coordinators at ERA Justin Realty at (201) 939-7500.

ERA Justin Realty Report: Be Selective When Picking a Real Estate Agent

by Jennifer Darby Metzger

Jennifer Darby Metzger and Ron Darby, ERA Justin Realty owners focus daily for the successes enjoyed by their sellers and buyers in their real estate transactions. With their team of dedicated real estate agents the focus of working to exceed expectations with every transaction grows with new products and services. The firm has been a choice to thousands of buyers and sellers since the company began in 1950.

ERA Justin Realty Report: Be Selective When Picking a Real Estate Agent

According to Ron Darby, ERA Justin Realty Broker co-owner and a company market leader since 1950, “For those considering buying or selling a house, this information may be beneficial to you. Bring together the right real estate team headed by the Realtor professional you choose to hopefully be successful in a purchase or sale.

Real estate training of your Realtor broker and agent is necessary as the regulations governing real estate transactions go through continuous transition, and as in any business, there are trained real estate agents and those who may be simply a best friend of a buyer or seller who practices real estate on a limited basis and may not be proficient in the exacting laws that govern the transaction, possibly limiting buyers or sellers abilities to be successful in the transaction. It is not always how many years a firm has been in the business or number of homes sold. Select your Realtor and firm which provides excellence in service and staff training. Realtor agents who do a lot of business and are constantly trained should have a wealth of experience to draw from that can be helpful if problems arise.”

Jennifer Darby Metzger, ERA Justin Realty broker co-owner stated, “Too many times in our industry listings are taken far above the market value and above pricing proven by a comprehensive (CMA) comparative market analysis. Some listings taken by a brokerage with unrealistic pricing may sit on the sidelines as new properly priced listings come to the marketplace and are quickly sold. Furthermore, carefully determine the amount of sales in your community by the Realtor you are considering. Sales outside of your community or at a distance have diminished impact for a successful sale in your specific community. Specific information is what helps create a successful transaction.

Be sure you are presented with a current, accurate and complete CMA report detailing homes for sale, those that have sold and closed and those that have expired because they did not sell. All sellers are entitled to know the entire story so they can make an educated decision as to the proper pricing of their house when placed on the market. With this explained, sellers need to make the final determinations as to the listing price of their home.

At ERA Justin Realty, our Realtor agents are trained to bring exacting information to our sellers. Once done, our buyers can be confident that the house they are considering or purchased should appraise for mortgaging as long as the buyers are qualified for the loan. This is a must for the services that we provide at ERA Justin Realty. Our Realtor agents owe a great degree of focus and responsibility to those sellers who list their houses with us.”

Darby continued, “It’s typical for a seller to be swept into the enthusiasm of a Realtor who speaks positively about your house, but in this current market that Realtor is under a strong degree of responsibility to advise of the current pricing and what pricing is not realistic. We make the process easier by offering over 700 written reviews of our services, ‘What people are saying’ consisting of published reviews, quotes and testimonials from our satisfied buyers and sellers.”

Metzger concluded, “We build strong rapport and trust. You’ll be working with one of our Realtor agent professionals throughout the transaction. Working with one of our trusted team is easy when you respect, trust and communicate well together. Request many references, not just one or two. We are one successful team of Realtor broker and agent professionals.

Pacing this year, as in previous years, we were awarded as a top ERA real estate firm globally from nearly 30,000 ERA brokers and agents in their firms. Our reviews, quotes and testimonials are yours to be reviewed, simply for the asking. We have been a Realtor of choice for multi-thousands of buyers and sellers since we first opened our doors in 1950. Equally impressive is our relationship with referral firms, representing fortune 500 companies, where we do business for their clients in buying and selling in our marketing areas of Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties. These corporate relationships bring more selling and buying opportunities for all.”

ERA Justin Realty Offers Online Video Property Tours On Listings

by Jennifer Darby Metzger

Jennifer Darby Metzger and Ron Darby, a family team and broker owners of ERA Justin Realty are focused with their team of Realtor agents in bringing exceptional buying and selling services to Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Essex Counties. Since 1950 the firm has been has been a favorite to thousands of buyers and sellers.

ERA Justin Realty Offers Online Video Property Tours On Listings

Northern New Jersey: ERA Justin Realty broker co-owner Jennifer Darby Metzger offers, “Known since 1950 as a substantial real estate firm throughout Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Essex Counties with thousands of real estate sales, we review some of the 2015 technology which enables consumers to view ERA Justin Realty property listings through an online video tour, making home buying and selling easier.

Considered by many to be a technology leader in the real estate industry and a top ERA real estate firm nationwide from over 30,000 ERA brokers and agents, ERA Justin Realty features video tours in today’s fast-paced technologically advanced real estate market. Video tours offer home sellers the advantages of a 24-hour a day, seven-day a week open house, at the home buyers convenience, and always available for viewing.”

Jennifer continued, “Video tours include views of the interiors and exteriors of ERA Justin listed properties. Online visitors can tour properties at any hour, from their home, office, or from anywhere in the world. The expectations of today’s real estate home buyers and sellers are high, and as millions of viewers use the internet to look for a home, it is critical to have the best tools to promote our listings online. Video tours help potential buyers view a property’s attributes so much better than just a text description or a single photo of a house; for example, consumers might view what is on the other side of the street and next door with neighborhood photos.

ERA Justin Realty offers this additional service to each of our sellers on every listing that we market for sale. When we post a tour, it is available on our websites, www.ERAJustin.com,www.ERAJustinRealty.com, our three Multiple Listing Services, Realtor.com and many other leading search websites from which we market our seller’s homes. Hundreds of area sellers select ERA Justin Realty as their Realtor of choice each year. We work to exceed their expectations and that makes us truly proud.”

Adding, she said, “Online video tours also increase a listing’s exposure to potential buyers, which our home sellers find very attractive. More exposure means more pre-approved buyers to potentially see each listing. More exposure potentially brings more buying contracts to be considered, giving each seller a better opportunity to sell their house at a potentially higher price. Buyers who view video tours can be strong, interested prospects. We’ve brought successful contracts from out of state buyers who saw our video tours on line. There is no cost to our sellers for this added value service.”Buyers and Sellers interested in learning more about ERA Justin Realty’s online video tours can reach any of the ERA Justin Realtor agents who will be pleased to provide extensive details.

Concluding, Jennifer said, “Because of our daily priorities, we proudly receive prestigious awards. ERA Real Estate was the recipient of Highest Satisfaction for First Time Home Buyers Among Full Service Real Estate Firms award from J.D. Powers. For these reasons ERA Justin Realty should be your buying and selling Realtor of choice. All of our ERA Justin Realty full service Realtors can be reached at either of our two Rutherford offices at 118 Jackson Avenue and 57 Park Avenue. By office phone (201) 939-7500, (201) 438-0588 or (201) 438-SOLD.”

ERA JUSTIN REALTY’S BEST MARKETING TOOLS ARE GOOD AGENTS

by Jennifer Darby Metzger

Ron Darby and Jennifer Darby Metzger owners of ERA Justin Realty serving Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Essex Counties share their insights as to the best marketing tools, good agents and new ERA opportunities for their buyers and sellers. The firm, a market leader since 1950 and the company on the grow expands their reach in 2015.

ERA JUSTIN REALTY’S BEST MARKETING TOOLS ARE GOOD AGENTS

Your best marketing tool when selling your home is a good real estate agent. Jennifer Darby Metzger and Ron Darby, broker owners of ERA Justin Realty share their insights and invite agents to join their team. There is so much more to selling a home than simply putting a For Sale sign in the front yard. There are reasons why some agents seem to do so well. They work diligently, pay attention to detail and are available for appointments. They also use the tools at their disposal, including extensive training, knowledge of the industry and neighborhoods and marketing expertise. A good licensed agent knows what needs to be done and when and is aware of the potential pitfalls in this very important decision.

Metzger said, “Gone are the days when an agent could be successful by simply putting a sign in the yard, making a few phone calls and having a nice smile. Changes in technology where as high as 80% of transactions come through the Internet have made an impact in the way your property can be marketed. Today’s real estate professional has so many more options available, and the smart agent knows how to use them. They combine the traditional tried and true marketing efforts with today’s technology to better serve you and represent your needs to a greater group of potential buyers. They know how important it is to have a qualified purchaser who is pre-approved for mortgage financing before bringing a potential contract to their seller. Beyond that, an aggressive marketing plan needs to be created. A front yard sign and placement on the Multiple Listing Services are important, but eMarketing plays an increasingly larger role in finding the right Buyer.”

Darby added, “Our effective websites, such as www.ERAJustin.com and www.ERAJustinRealty.com can allow an agent to place your listing on the Internet for the world to see. This is in addition to another menu of dozens of Internet websites that ERA Justin listings are marketed from. This is a much more efficient way to market to a greater viewing audience whom you are not able to reach by sending out post cards or making phone calls. With photos of the inside and outside of your home and virtual tours, buyers can explore before calling for an appointment. Our websites can also link buyers to on-line calculators, mortgage companies, general property search features, neighborhood and school searches, plus other valuable information that can allow them to see the affordability and assets of your home. And this information is available anytime, anywhere. You no longer have to hope for a phone call or someone seeing your ad in the paper. You and your agent are open for business 24 hours daily, seven days a week.”

“Today’s ERA Justin Realty agent also has the capability of emailing photos of your property anywhere in the world, great for potential out-of-town buyers. Messages sent via email or through a website can automatically trigger a phone call, keeping your agent in constant contact. And many smart agents send regular email Newsletters that contain their listings and links back with information that can benefit the sale of your home. Instead of waiting for someone to drive down your street and see your sign, you now have the world at your fingertips. With many houses on the market, it’s wise to choose a sophisticated and high tech agent who can assertively promote your home. The odds are greater that your property will sell faster and at a higher price,” concluded Metzger.

There is a difference in real estate companies and ERA Justin Realty is always focused on the newest technologies. The firm asks Buyers and Sellers to compare. Their philosophy includes exceeding expectations of what a real estate agent is about. They don’t offer just real estate basics, they are as comprehensive as possible. In that way they know that their buyers and sellers will hold them in the highest regard.

Darby concluded, “Being known as the company on the grow, new and licensed agents who want to kick off a real estate career with us are invited to join our team. Serving our customers and our communities through leadership and commitment is at the core of ERA Justin Realty’s operating principles. We’ve received The Circle of Light for Community Leadership Award and we were recognized for embracing a philosophy through community service and charitable works that greatly impact the areas where we work and live. Our team has long been committed to serving our local communities, as well as for business excellence, and we are proud. We are also celebrating our 30th anniversary with our ERA family. Our award recognizes us for the extraordinary things we do and for our communities and people in need. Throughout the entire ERA system of approximately 31,000 brokers and agents, we were the only firm to receive it when presented to us in Los Angeles.”

All of the ERA Justin Realty full service Realtor agents can be reached at (201) 939-7500, (201) 438-0588 or (201) 438-SOLD. Additional cutting-edge real estate technology also information awaits you at www.ERAJustin.com and www.ERAJustinRealty.com.

Cathy Vick and Rosemarie Zembryski of ERA Justin Realty are the firm’s coordinators for the 2014 charitable event who created the theme as ERA Justin Realty homes and recently presented the unique theme wreath designed with special selected home keys and much love. They said, “Our wreath submission is our effort to help make a difference for the Kip Center and our community. In order to reach a wide range of individuals and spread our spirit, we dedicate our time to a wide range of charities. We feel that one person making a difference to another can lead to many people making a difference in society. We all have the opportunity to help create positive change. You might not be able to change the entire world, but at least you can change a small part of it, for someone. Our focus is to bring financial benefits to the Kip Center seniors. We’re happy to report that our past entries have been cited by the Kip Center as ‘Most Creative In the Business Category,’ for past years and ERA Justin Realty again was awarded with our current 2014 entry as ‘Most Creative in the Business Category’.”

Ron Darby, ERA Justin Realty broker co-owner said, “Tis the season for giving. By helping the Kip Center raise money with ERA Justin Realty’s donation of our holiday wreath and others you are helping that one or many in the community. Stop by the Kip Center for a chance to win!

Jennifer Darby Metzger, Broker-Owner said, “Time flies when you do what you always enjoy, with focus on our buyers, sellers and our Realtor salespersons, working each day to assist for their success. I do remember the days I studied for my salesperson and then my broker licensing. Seems like yesterday, though it’s now thousands of transactions later. We’ve certainly grown and it’s because of the dedication of our wonderful teammates and business professionals who focus with us.”

“ERA Justin Realty is highly driven by the knowledge and experience of our business platform. Everything we do is designed with the universal goal of expanding that knowledge base through a series of innovative tools, programs and resources that help deliver true value and make it easier for us to better serve today’s consumers. We are building a smarter business community; we all achieve more when we share knowledge and work together. The updated ERA identity, logo and brand standards have been introduced and are designed to reflect who we are today while positioning our ERA brand for the future. Our fresh new look is extending to everything from yard signs to marketing and advertising materials but more importantly to the new products and services to bring greater success for our buyers and sellers. Welcome to the new ERA,” added Darby.

Metzger concluded, “All of our firm’s Realtor agents can be reached at either of our two Rutherford offices at 118 Jackson Avenue and 57 Park Avenue. By phone (201) 939-7500, (201) 438-0588 or (201) 438-SOLD. Also view 1000’s of homes at our websites at www.ERAJustin.com and www.ERAJustinRealty.com.”
