Today

Over a Half Century of Tradition and Dedication Jordan Baris, a graduate of CCNY, began his career marketing real estate on Long Island. Within two years, he became a top producing agent and moved to New Jersey to open Jordan Baris, Inc. Realtors. Even as a one person office, he believed he could capture the top market share in the state’s largest city, Newark. With aggressive marketing, comprehensive training and continuing education for his growing staff, Jordan realized his dream just three years later.

In the 1960’s, the firm moved to Irvington and expanded its market to encompass all of Essex County. In 1967 the firm opened a second location in South Orange, NJ. The 1960’s also marked the start of Jordan Baris’ commitment to utilizing technology in virtually ever aspect of the business.

Marjorie Baris joined the firm in 1977 after the company’s bookkeeper took ill. While her presence in the office was simply a “stop-gap” until the bookkeeper returned, her contribution made an immediate impact. Instead of a temporary position, Marjorie never left. Possessing a strong intellect and soft demeanor, she guided many of the growth initiatives for the company, including overseeing the Relocation Department. Marge established her place in the nation’s brokerage community.

After graduating Rutgers College, Ken Baris became a dynamic force on the northern New Jersey real estate scene. He developed “Top Presenter”, which was awarded by the National Association of Realtors software of the year when it was launched. The creative inspiration that Ken brings to the business is openly shared with the entire organization. Ever conscious of his role to guide the business towards sustained growth, Ken honors the family legacy while setting the stage for generations to come. And, he has developed into one of the country’s thought leaders in real estate trends.

During the 1980’s the South Orange Office relocated to larger quarters, while the corporate headquarters moved to West Orange. Comfortable meeting the challenges of a changing world, where organizations must alter in order to sustain progress and competency within a particular industry, the company began to aggressively expand in 2000.

BARIS DIFFERENCE

Our Exceptional Corporate Culture Before business gurus heralded the importance of “corporate cultureâ€? and “core values,â€? the Baris’ were intuitively integrating those precepts into their business. When Jordan ďŹ rst hung his company’s shingle, proudly proclaiming Jordan Baris, Inc. Realtors was open for business, and to this very day, the underlying manifesto guiding the company has been the Golden Rule.

“Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.�

With their business now two generations deep, the Baris commitment and passion creates a stimulating and dynamic atmosphere. Their warm, genuine manner projects an old-fashion sense of extended family among associates and administrative staff. This “family� feeling has bred a synergy and teamwork unheard of in an industry comprised of independent contractors. At any time of the day, Jordan Baris Inc., Realtors is a bustling, positive environment about which clients constantly remark.

A snapshot from 100,000 ft. would reveal a business that is authentic; a company that drives progress by mixing self-conďŹ dence and self-criticism. The self-conďŹ dence enables the organization to set daring goals. Constructive criticism promotes continual change and self-improvement. This dynamic self-examination is part of our culture and has created a deep, strong bond with our agents.

In an industry where the attrition rate is traditionally very high, associates rarely leave the fold.

Whether planning a future development or rejuvenating an existing project, we can provide the analysis needed to create a competitive marketing strategy that ensures a successful project. We will develop an evaluation which examines the project concept and type, buyer profiles, site layout, product mix and marketing concept.

Floor Plan Analysis Our deep experience enables us to offer cost-effective suggestions that are likely to increase desirability for purchasers and positively affect value.

Team Approach “Selling out” a development is most effectively accomplished by employing a team strategy. Our team is comprised of individuals with complementary skills and quarterbacked by the project manager. The project manager’s primary focus will be working with the developer and prospects.

Other members of the team will be responsible for maintaining the intranet site, scheduling agent coverage, placing advertising, coordinating public relations, generating a customized website, and creating a graphical identity.

Intranet We create a custom, password protected intranet site for every development. This provides 24 hour access to our contract processing, documents, letters, marketing materials and more. Access is given to both the developer and our team.

Flexible Sales and Marketing Program Our marketing campaign is flexible and individually tailored for each development. We can provide a variety of options ranging from on-site sales, 7 days/week, to an in-office team responsible for scheduling appointments.

Public Relations Public Relations is an important driver in the marketing and sales of a development. Our projects have been featured in the New York Times, New York Post, Star Ledger, and Worrall Publications, as well as on local and national television networks. Generating publicity for the project creates sales opportunities for our developers.

Financing A critical element of any successful project is securing attractive financing. We can pre-arrange financing and ensure that purchaser documentation is up-to-date. This is crucial step toward satisfying construction financing requirements.

MARKET DOMINANCE

THE BEST CREDENTIALS

$15

Member Leading Real Estate Companies of the World The real estate business is largely local in nature, which explains why independent, locally branded real estate firms continue to dominate many markets. The entity that connects all of these top brands is Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, whose affiliate companies (650 firms with 5,500 offices and 160,000 sales associates) sell over $400 billion annually, more than any national franchise brand. Although names like RE/MAX or Century 21 or Coldwell Banker are familiar to many consumers, the names of most LeadingRE local brands are also household names at the local level, and when considered as a network, they represent over a third of the top 500 companies in the country. They are also the Number One companies in terms of market share in more of the top 80 markets than any national brand.

Unlike franchisees, who pay a national network fee of five to seven percent off the top of all revenue for advertising, which may or may not drive specific leads to their agents, independent companies are able to deploy those dollars to develop local programs, reach local target audiences, and build resources that directly benefit their clients and associates. Because independents are not controlled by corporate offices thousands of miles away, they are able to adjust expenditures and programs more quickly and strategically as the market changes.

LeadingRE firms have strong local reputations and many are long-established companies in the community. In fact, one of the oldest residential firms in the country is a LeadingRE affiliate, and a high percentage of our member companies have been in business for over 25 years. These strong ties to the community, consistent and reliable performance over time, and accountability that comes from having the owner’s name on the door are all factors that inspire the consumer’s trust.

Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® recruits only the best of the best among locally and regionally-branded firms – because each firm’s local brand and performance reflect upon other affiliates nationally and globally. Membership is a privilege which can be terminated by either party at any time, unlike national franchises with 10 to 30-year contracts. This means that the LeadingRE network must provide a strong value proposition year in and year out, and it means that its members must maintain high performance standards in order to retain membership.

We are very excited about our relationship with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® because it enhances our ability to provide impeccable service to both our clients and associates anywhere in the world.
