ERA Justin Realtor, Michelle Korosy, offers tips and hints to parents planning a move. If moving locally or the entire marketing areas of the firm including Bergen, Passaic, Essex or Hudson Counties or transferring nationally, the information remains the same and is important for the children.
ERA Justin Realty Report: New Kid On The Block
Moving is a major change for all members of a family. Adult responsibilities weigh heavily when keeping track of all the tasks needed to make a move go smoothly. If you have children, this may be a difficult time to focus on their problems, too, but it’s also one of the most crucial times to keep their concerns in mind.
Sometimes what seems like a major disruption to grownups is viewed as an adventure to the kids. Still, changing homes can also upset feelings of stability (in the case of younger children) and belonging (in the case of teens). These are special concerns for these age groups.
According to ERA Justin Realtor, Michelle Korosy, “The most important thing a parent can do is maintain normal routines as much as possible, and when it isn’t possible, to let the kids know that apprehension about a big life change is normal, too. Try to keep calm about the move yourself, and your children will be more likely to follow your lead. It is advisable to be open about what’s happening and how everyone feels about it.
This means keeping your kids in the loop at each stage of the move. It helps everyone for them to get increasingly use to the idea of this change. Bring them along when you look at houses, make them familiar with the new area you’re moving to, and investigate its attractions (including the athletic or extra-curricular offerings that appeal to your kids). Exploring some of this on the Internet is a good way to relate your relocation to an activity they already enjoy.
Encourage your children to express any worries, and do what you can to reassure them. If you went through similar experiences as a child, you can share how you dealt with it, if it was easy, so much the better, and if it was hard, your children will know they’re not the only ones who have ever had to deal with change.
Try and arrange visits to the new school and meetings with the new teachers before the school year or semester starts. When you have more than one child, make bedroom assignments in the new house as soon as possible to avoid sibling strife (comfort, privacy and age seniority are all issues of kid politics that it is sometimes easy for grownups to forget).”
“There is a difference in real estate companies,” continued Michelle. “Presenting consumer information, we believe, is in order to exceed sellers’ expectations of what ERA Justin Realty is about, and 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 over 750 quotes and testimonials from our sellers and buyers. No other area real estate firm can offer that. Are we proud? Absolutely!”
ERA Justin Realty proudly received the prestigious ERA world-wide 2003 through 2009 Commitment to Excellence Award, one of 14 premier ERA real estate firms from 3,000. Only outstanding business entities are honored and receive it. For these reasons ERA Justin Realty should be your buying and selling Realtor of choice.
LISA GOLDSACK TRANSFERS TO ERA JUSTIN REALY CO.
Lisa Goldsack, formally of Jersey City and Hoboken and a long-term resident of Rutherford is married to Hoboken Fire Captain, Nicholas Goldsack. She is also a busy mom to three daughters, Jenna, Paige and Leigha, who attend the Rutherford school system. After a lifelong career in sales beginning in the New York garment district serving both the smaller retailers to large department store chains, Lisa then knew it was time to follow her dream, join ERA Justin Realty and serve the buying and selling needs of those she knows throughout all of the South Bergen County communities.
Broker Ron Darby, Broker Co-owner stated, “Lisa comes to us from a real estate position from another local real estate firm. She now joins us a part of our ERA Justin Action Team. Showing and selling real estate is a full time position for Lisa and our other ERA Justin Realtors, who know their responsibilities and go beyond to exceed the expectations of their sellers and buyers.”
“There is a difference in real estate companies,” added ERA Justin Broker Co-owner Jennifer Darby. “Attending on-going advanced training, seminars, round-table discussions with industry leaders and focus groups is what we continually do at our firm, much more than many other area real estate firms. We believe that in order to exceed sellers’ expectations of what our real estate team is about, we don’t have them learn just the basics. We want them to learn, know and teach much more than is ever expected of them. In that way, we know that our sellers will hold us all in the highest regard.”
During Lisa’s free time, she is a school class mother and fan of the Rutherford High School softball and football programs.
Lisa said, “I enthusiastically joined ERA Justin Realty because of their reputation as a leading Bergen County real estate firm. They create outstanding marketing for all of their homes for sale as well as marketing all of their Realtor agents. They have created a powerful ERA Justin Realty brand, known and loved throughout the area since 1950 and they grow each month. My final decision to join them was their excellent state-of-the-art agent training and finally, I’ve never heard a negative word about the firm. I know they are responsible for multi-thousands of sales throughout the years.”
Ron Darby added, “We are pleased to have Lisa join us. She will focus on customer relocation, service and listening. Yes, listening is what we do at our firm. If one listens to our buyers and sellers needs and requirements and then follow-up with the smallest detail, success will come easy for Lisa.”
ERA Justin Realty is continually honored as a ‘Top-100’ ERA firm worldwide from 3,000 ERA offices and is the recipient of the ‘ERA Commitment to Excellence’ award, one of fourteen firms to receive this prestigious award worldwide for six consecutive years. For these reasons, agents both newly licensed and experienced who join us have the potential to begin strong earnings immediately. Our ‘Winning Edge Teammate Advantage’ commission package has been structured so agents have a sense of pride in receiving strong earnings and other benefits which they deserve in this new age of real estate.”
Continuing, he said, “Our team of sales agents exceeds buyer and seller expectations, and through their daily efforts they continue to grow. We are offering those who want a successful career in real estate to phone for a confidential conversation. Give us a few minutes and we'll give you a rewarding lifetime career.
Ron Darby concluded, “If you are a career-minded full-time licensed agent, serious about your real estate business, but not advancing at your current firm, it may be time to make that phone call. Making a decision to make the call is a tough decision, from there, the rest is easy. We'll show you how!”
