"Becoming No. 1 is an awesome feat; remaining No. 1 is an everyday challenge", cited Gloria Zastko and Andrew Zastko, co-owners of Gloria Zastko, Realtors.
Gloria Zastko, Realtors will celebrate its 20th anniversary on March 15th. Gloria Zastko, who has been listing and selling real estate for almost 40 years, feels the success of a salesperson is directly related to his or her knowledge of the product being sold. She said, "A Realtor should 'know your buyer', 'know your seller', and most of all, 'know your market'."
During the past 20 years since Zastko founded the company with her son, Andrew Zastko, and a select group of charter members including Ginger Boyle, Sonya Panson, Lucy Mollica and the late Carol Latchaw, Gloria Zastko, Realtors has set the standard for excellence in real estate service and reliability. Today, the firm has grown in size and knowledge, but manages to remain a "hands on" brokerage.
Zastko said, "Our business is built on referrals, We love to serve our clients over and over again. Our clients are so pleased with our service they refer their neighbors, sons, daughters and other relatives to us so that they may experience the same success".
Andrew Zastko earned The Middlesex County Multiple Listing System's President's Award for the 19th consecutive year ranking him No. 1 in Middlesex County for 12 of those years for the greatest number of listings taken and sold. He is a 24-year veteran of the real estate industry and is a member of the NJAR¨ Distinguished Sales Club. In 2008, 2009 and 2010, Zastko was the only NJAR¨ Circle of Excellence Sales Award¨ Platinum Level recipient in Middlesex County.
The firm handles short sales and represents many banks and financial institutions. Presently the firm is handling four major housing developments: The Estates at Dunham's Farm in South Brunswick; Charter Oak at Farrington Lake in East Brunswick; Capitol Court Estates in South River; and The Pointe @ Turnbury in South Brunswick.
Gloria Zastko, Realtors prides itself in being a family-owned business with national connections by relocating clients from coast to coast or anywhere else in the United States through the efforts of award-winning relocation director, Ginger Boyle and Leading Real Estate Companies of the World.
The firm prides itself on being an innovator in the real estate market, and year after year remains North Brunswick's #1 Broker. Gloria likes to think of her agents as consultants, because the market is always changing and the firm's current knowledge of the market allows her agents to better facilitate the needs of both buyers and sellers. She further adds, "We were an instant success when we opened in 1991, which was also a changing market. We worked harder and smarter and pursued many different alternatives. Certainly, the vast experience we gained throughout the years is pertinent to today."
With today's incredibly low interest rates (the lowest in 50 years), mega tax advantages and stabilized prices, there has never been a better time to buy, sell or invest in real estate.
Zastko feels that in today's market you need an agent who understands both current and future conditions and can transfer that into positive results for you as a client. Further she states, "Even though it can be extremely difficult emotionally to move forward with purchasing real estate when others are not, it is important to look a the real estate facts. I have been in the business of listing and selling real estate for almost 40 years, and during that time I have experienced several economic recessions. Without fail, the people who purchased in the down market were considered geniuses a few years later when the economy recovered and appreciation ran rampant once again."
In 2010 the firm proudly acknowledged eight NJAR¨ Circle of Excellence Sales Award ¨ recipients. They are: Andrew Zastko, Peter Maimone, Sima Brokowsky, Ginger Boyle, Jayakrishnan Maniyil, John J. McDonald, Joyce Ann Staples and Jo Ann Lacina.
