“I feel that selling real estate in Hoboken and the surrounding areas is a wonderful career to have. As a Hoboken Realtor, I meet interesting and inspiring people every day. People flock to our area to enjoy the home town atmosphere while enjoying the convenience of New York City- only a path train ride away. We are truly a unique market offering a variety of housing options to our customers.” - Jane Estes
An interesting story to share: Jane recently had the pleasure to meet and work with a family temporarily relocating from Ecuador. They had been staying in a hotel for four months while waiting for their visas to be processed. They decided to enter Jane’s office after enjoying their pizza next door at Grimaldis. Location is everything!
While working with this family, they truly became friends. They had very difficult and specific requirements including furnished month to month luxury rentals. Hoboken and the surrounding area, however, had several alternatives that met their needs. Though they eventually wound up returning to Ecuador, not only did Jane meet a very special family, but she now has an open invitation to visit them. The family truly appreciated the “over and beyond” attitude that Jane showed them. They knew that Jane worked very hard to find them the right living situation that worked within their visa constraints. They also knew that she truly cared for them. She looks forward to their return to this area and the opportunity to sell them their permanent home someday soon. And the same “Empire Experience” will be shared with you too, if you’re interested in a new place to live. Please visit Empire after a slice at Grimaldi’s and ask for Jane.
We asked Jane to tell us what personal strengths she exudes as an influential women in business. Here’s what she had to say:
My background is in the broadcast design industry. Working as a producer demands that you stay organized, on time and on budget. These skills translate into everyday real estate. Producing a real estate transaction is very similar to television production though much more emotional and personal.
Her latest business obstacle was a tough one, but she made it happen. Listen in:
I recently worked with former clients who were looking to upgrade from their one bedroom condo to a larger unit. They grew up in houses and were used to suburban living so they wanted to explore larger homes. After exploring our options in Hoboken, we decided to investigate other areas. Some agents might have had to refer these clients out to an agent in the suburbs. They would then have lost the opportunity and satisfaction in finding them their new home. I felt, however, that I could still fully service my clients. I grew up in Bergen County and feel lucky to be able to continue assisting my clients and friends in other areas as well as in Hoboken. My clients closed on their new home in time for the holidays and are enjoying the space we found in the suburbs.
Why does Jane get up every morning and love her job? Find out below:
It is important to me to be able to go to work and enjoy being at my job. As one of the owners of Empire Realty Group, my duties are varied every day. In addition to servicing my buyers and sellers, I also share the responsibility of running my company. I have the broker responsibilities and work with my agents in navigating their own transactions, their own negotiations and their overall real estate development. Each day is a challenge and a learning experience for me. Each day holds a reward.
Rewards come in many ways. In addition to the satisfaction that I personally get on a daily basis, as a company we continue to give back to the community. We do this through our Empire Cares program. One of our most rewarding events this year was on Valentine’s Day when we served breakfast to over eighty senior citizens at the Multi Purpose center in Hoboken. We cooked and served a scrumptious breakfast to a special group of individuals while one of our talented agents entertained the crowd singing Frank Sinatra favorites.
Jane’s favorite part about Real Estate:
My favorite part about my job is being referred by satisfied clients. I love to work with friends and family who have been referred by clients that have been happy with my service. My business is based on referrals and I am never too busy to work with clients of former clients.
Get in on these incredible new real estate ideas from Jane:
Real Estate is an ever changing business to be in. Home buyers are looking for real estate on the internet and are much more educated than in the past. A realtor needs to be one step ahead of the game in today’s market to be of assistance to home buyers and sellers. I am constantly attending training seminars and keeping up to date on the latest trends. Empire Realty Group is using Social media as a marketing tool to its fullest extent, which changes every day! Everyone should check out our social media sites for our latest updates about industry news.
Now, let’s have some fun... What is Jane’s fave Hoboken Restaurant?
My favorite restaurant in Hoboken is Court Street. Its unique spot on the cobble stoned corner of 6th and Court is a Hoboken classic. The food is great, the staff friendly and the crowd is a great group of local Hobokenites and visitors as well.
Her fave hang out in the ‘Boken is...
Hanging out at the W Hotel is a luxury that we all now have in Hoboken! It’s a great place to meet clients after work while enjoying the fantastic view from the Chandelier Room.
Does she stick to Hoboken’s baseball roots?
Of course! Her office is full of sports fans and baseball in particular. The enthusiasm is infectious and keeps her office energized.
Jane came up with an incredible tag line and theme for Hoboken. Smile with us when you read it, we know you’ll agree:
Small town, Big Heart
