How To Save More Than Energy: The Cost-Efficient Home
ERA-JUSTIN ACHIEVERS POINT WAY TO SUMMER SALES
”Ask ERA Justin Realty first quarter 2017 award achievers Fara Espandi, Glenn Elliot, Carol D. Calamari, Ilene Harpuder and Kristen Davis 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 Begins MDA Summer Camp For Kids 2017
Dallas Texas: The Muscular Dystrophy Association in conjunction with ERA Justin Realty began the 2017 MDA Summer Camp for kid’s fundraiser at their recent International Business Conference.
ERA Justin Realty’s Ron Darby, Carol D. Calamari, Michelle Korosy, Gloria Darby, Catherine Nimmo, Jennifer Darby Metzger and Jennifer Sullivan attended the conference, where they were honored as members of the MDA President’s Club for their outstanding work during current and previous years.
Ron and Jennifer representing ERA’s New Jersey campaign joined others nationwide where they reviewed plans to send as many MDA kids to summer camp and shared their insights and plans for 2017.
Each year MDA supports some 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. We are honored to receive original art from the MDA kids that are featured on our office walls.
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 our special sponsor VIP Day. You’ll see the joy that your participation in this program creates. Your involvement will also be saluted on the local broadcast of the MDA Labor Day Telethon.
Ron who is also the ERA MDA Chairman for New Jersey for 17 years continued, “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. If you have questions on this great program for the kids, call me at (201) 939-7500.”

ERA JUSTIN AGENT TIPS: VALUE FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT DOLLARS
ERA JUSTIN AGENT TIPS: VALUE FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT DOLLARS
ERA Justin Realty, a market leader throughout Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson Counties deals with homes each day. Some are pristine and some call for improvements. “Collectively, our Realtor agents share knowledge with these tips. When you decide to undertake a major renovation or some minor home improvements, you may want to consider improvements which could attract buyers and increase your price if and when you sell your home. Should you put in a new kitchen or bathroom? Add new landscaping? Which improvements matter most and give the biggest return?
It is estimated that the average American family stays in a home for approximately seven years. Considering that your home is probably your most expensive asset, it makes sense to consult an ERA Justin Realtor agent to identify those improvements that will appeal to more buyers and help it sell faster, and possibly for a higher price. Before taking on major home improvements, it is best to first take care of minor maintenance needs, such as fixing leaky faucets, grouting around tubs, cleaning gutters and so on. Buyers are more comfortable purchasing a well cared for home because if what they can see is maintained, it is more likely that what they cannot see has also probably been maintained. Once basic maintenance needs are cared for, our real estate professionals can be helpful in recommending home improvements that may increase the value of your home. If you have extra funds to spend on one project, and you are choosing between renovating your kitchen or adding a new in-ground pool, which do you think would increase the value of your home more? Installing a new kitchen will generate a greater return when selling than a pool. Not all buyers want a pool, however, they all want an updated kitchen.”
Minor upgrades may also enhance the value of your property. Cleaning and de-cluttering go a long way to improving the sale of your home. Agents also recommend adding light and brightness to a home with new lighting fixtures. Landscape improvements, fresh interior paint in a neutral color and removing old carpeting (to expose wood floors or to replace with new carpet) are also recommended.
